In the near future, Turkey is suffering an inexplicable nationwide power outage that spurs violence and riots. Didem, who wants to be a dancer, Iffet the cleaning lady, urban transformation opportunist Raşit and Ela who gives cinema lessons to the children, mirror the multiple aspects of a disoriented country on the verge of a flare-up, like drifting ghosts.
