Overview

Altan, a physics professor who has been working in the field of green energy in America for a long time, returns to Istanbul, the city of his childhood, where he has been away for years after losing his family. In the place of the city he left, he finds a new world knitted by earthmoving trucks, gravel, iron and endless noise. Dersaadet Apartment Building, which is forced to surrender to the transformation, will be transferred to the contractor and will be replaced by a residence. Altan, who struggles to save the family home, is accompanied by Deren's voice that floats from the radio every day and reminds us of the precious and a turtle who survived the construction site, questioning our real "houses".
