Eyüp is on the verge of killing his boss Hemme, but along the way, random encounters temper his anger. Or how a friendly chat can save a life... 

Eyüp is broke and returns to his birthplace, where he works on a tomato farm with the help of Ali. After a dispute with his employer Hemme and the fact that he hasn’t been paid, Eyüp’s frustration grows and he plots revenge. However, as he travels through the city, unexpected encounters slow him down, and his anger fades with the sunset. 

A calm and meditative film that gives you the time to reflect on everyday life, just as Eyüp does. What starts as a thriller gradually transforms into a story about personal frustrations and inner conflicts. With a mix of realism and absurdity, the film follows Eyüp's changing emotions. The beautiful imagery enhances the story and gives the film a unique atmosphere.
