Istanbul in 1977 is a fractured city, rocked by student demonstrations and revolutionary activism. The atmosphere simmers, seldom far from boiling point, and violent clashes with soldiers and police are a daily occurrence.
When Oak, a young idealist, joins the annual May Day rally, little does he suspect that it will descend into bloodshed. In the midst of the now infamous Taksim Square massacre he encounters Zuhal, a fearless girl with a gun. As the battle for Turkey's future rages on, she comes to shape his ideals and emotions, bringing him face to face with disillusionment, desolation and death.
Addressing - with a more direct approach - the same historical period as Orhan Pamuk's The Museum of Innocence, Izzet Celasin explores the upheaval that took him into exile without losing sight of his love for his native land. The result is a passionate tale of young love in a time of civil war, and a homage to a city like no other.
