Synopsis
Aydin, a former actor, operates a small hotel in central Anatolia with his young wife, Nihal, and his sister, Necla. Rich as he is, he has no contact with real life and the difficulties of the people around him, as he is locked in his hotel's four walls and the only people who he associates with are his wife and sister. During winter, as the snow begins to fall, the hotel becomes a refuge, but also an inescapable place that exacerbates the quarrels between them.
