On a summer day, Şirin drives through Berlin-Neukölln to pick up her aunt Bihar. While friends celebrate Banu's scholarship, Şirin struggles with rejection. That evening, Bihar comforts her with a song. The next day, they escape to the countryside - a journey filled with memories and unspoken truths. A fight about queerness erupts and then Bihar reveals a long-kept secret.
