The visually impaired singer Yüksel who lives in Kars will host memorable guests, but the musicians he would like to work with should go to a festival in Erzurum. Yüksel needs to look for new musicians. Hairdresser Kazım, a fan of Orhan Pamuk, creates postcards by taking the photographs of the people, streets and objects resembling the ones in the novel Snow. However he has hard times for convincing the people for taking their photos. Three imaginary musicians, two apprentices and a child chasing a goose accompanies the searching of these two protagonists.
