A wistful romantic reverie set in rainy island solitude, where a poor painter's longing for an unseen woman becomes a meditation on desire, beauty, and the gap between image and reality.

On the Princes’ Islands to the south of Istanbul, the days are rainy and full of longing. Poor but proud painter Halil gets a job in one of the island’s villas, where he encounters the photograph of a beautiful woman and falls in love with her image.
