A tender, quietly melancholic portrait of two isolated men whose unexpected friendship offers mutual redemption amid urban indifference.

Mithat passionately collects newspapers in his Istanbul flat. The other tenants ridicule him and he lives a lonely life. As the building is to be renovated, Mithat develops a friendship with concierge Ali, another loner, who helps him save his collection. They involuntarily change each other’s fate.
