Overview

Since the dawn of time, humankind has struggled against harsh natural conditions. The drama of Şemsi, who is partially paralyzed and mentally ill, brings together three police officers on duty that night. Şemsi, who was removed from the municipal cultural center where he had gone to warm up, has lost his lower body reflexes and urinates and defecates without realizing it. The officers who took Şemsi into their car were forced to open the doors and windows due to the unpleasant odor, exposing themselves to the harshness of nature. As they searched from place to place throughout the night to find an official institution that could take Şemsi in, the officers found pieces of their own lives in his. The officers' nighttime ordeal with Şemsi would deeply affect them.
