Oppression and anxiety both in his neighborhood, where he fears discovery, and at work, where he’s accepted
the low wages paid to refugees, gradually transform him. When Kamil suddenly disappears, Remziye has to face the consequences of his actions, which do not fit the man she knows. But she will not give up.
