Osman Karakoç

Sumru, a young ethnomusicologist in search of her lost lover, leaves Istanbul for a three-month research project in Diyarbakır. While crossing paths with locals and tracing the pains of others through a music project based on Anatolian mournings, she comes to confront the remnants of her own agony.

The film depicts the conquest of Istanbul on a chessboard. Aşık Paşazade recounts the conquest to Fatih's grandchildren, and the story is visualized.
