Old grievances come tumbling out into an ugly showdown. As the night becomes charged with tears, anger and regret, the outrage spills onto the dark streets, into sleazy hotel rooms. Although they’re in league and he’s on his own, Muharrem has made up his mind. Either the filth is cleaned up that night or he dies. Otherwise he’ll never be rid of this sense of shame. Through his character inspired from Dostoevsky’s Notes from Underground, Zeki Demirkubuz examines the existential problems of the individual.
