Reyhan and her husband spend a short time in her home city of Istanbul, which she left young. She now lives in Hamburg.
Shortly before her return journey to Hamburg, Reyhan realises that she no longer has a sense of smell. When a medical examination points to a serious health problem, Reyhan decides to leave everything behind her and visit the places of her past instead of undergoing further examinations.
She leaves her old life and takes the next best job in a hotel. In the neighbourhood, she meets a blind man with whom she feels a vague connection, as he also lacks sensory perception.
With her second feature film, filmmaker Melisa Önel has created the portrait of a self-confident woman who has to get to know and learn about herself and her life anew.
