SYNOPSIS
Onur is a hearing-impaired young man, brought up by his mother after his father left when he was seven years old. Although he studied web design at university, Onur works in a library, where he doesn’t have to communicate with people. He meets Zeynep at an engagement party for one of his friends. Zeynep, who left home after finding out that her father has cheated on her mother, goes through a string of jobs, finally ending up at a call center. She spends her whole day talking with people she doesn’t know. Tough working conditions and little money she earns for the tedious work make her unhappy. After meeting Onur and discovering that he is hearing-impaired, Zeynep thinks that she can find peace at last with this man who never speaks, and a relationship begins which urges us to question life in an altogether different way.
