An incident took place at an ordinary Turkish funeral. A man drops his phone inside the grave while throwing soil during the burial. He urgently interrupts the burial to take his phone back. However someone in the community denies this request due to the religious beliefs. The imam leading the funeral intervenes and an extraordinary discussion unfolds.
