Synopsis
Life in a small town in the hinterland of Turkey, is like a perpetual journey in the middle of the steppes: a constant feeling that something new and different will suddenly happen which will revitalize the monotonous rhythms of the locals' everyday life. A death and the agony of solving a crime. A group of men trying to discover a dead corpse in the vast steppes of the East as fast as they can. The policeman, the doctor, the prosecutor, the mayor, and the suspect.
