Overview
The images reflected on the screen come from a camera that Namik is carrying, a camera that is forgotten. The young man running in a hospital corridor is looking for his wife Nurcan, a nurse. He finds her and takes the trigger of his gun. Then he decides on his own life and all this is recorded in the camera.
