Comedy
On election day, two friends who have escaped from a psychiatric hospital hijack an airplane—believing they are filming a documentary—and inadvertently plunge Turkey into an unexpected state of chaos. As commentators in a television studio attempt to make sense of the situation during a live broadcast, what begins as a simple hijacking is quickly transformed into a political crisis. Meanwhile, following the elopement of a trans individual and a local youth, the neighborhood residents gather at a coffeehouse. Incited by fear, anger, and prejudice, the polarized community finds itself drawn into an internal reckoning. Moving between the airplane, the television studio, and the coffeehouse, the film explores how reality can be distorted within the span of a single day, and how an absurd event can escalate into a national panic.
