A workman has been badly hurt in Kadir’s family business. In a family gathering, they talk about the legal consequences of this accident. If it is not possible to convince the workman’s wife to sign a discharge sheet, they decide that one member of the family should assume responsibility for the accident and escape abroad. Although Kadir is ready to make the sacrifice for his family, he does not want to leave Esma, with whom he is contemplating marriage. Kadir tries to deal with the crisis and, in the meanwhile, lets out certain secrets about the accident and his family. He is then faced with making a moral decision, which will have an impact on his dreams, his family and the life of the injured workman’s wife.

“Up to what point can people change in a brief space of time ? I wan- ted to analyse the psychology of my character over a short lapse of time and become aware of just how determined we can be. What true relationships do we have and which are sham ? I also wanted to study the relationship between the law, ethics and justice. If the law is unable to solve all of life’s problems, can we make our own judgements ?” Selman Nacar
