Cast: Ercan Kesal, Ayça Damgacı, Tansu Biçer, Nadir Sarıbacak, Kevork Malikyan
Fading singer Yavuz and Neşe take a nightclub job in Yozgat; barber Sabri joins their story in an unexpected triangle.
58-year-old Yavuz sings 1970s hits in a mall basement and grows close to Neşe in a municipal music class. A nightclub offer takes them to Yozgat. Work disappoints, while barber Sabri’s interest in Neşe turns the story into a bittersweet comedy of loneliness, music and desire in the provinces.
