Young Arda lies in hospital with organ failure and writes a farewell letter to his father, whom he has never met. In it, he looks back on his life so far: conflicts with his mother, who drinks; a sister who runs away from home; endless hours at the immigration office; but also his first love and time with his friends Savaş, Bojan and Danny. A family story about a son, a mother and a sister whose lives and bodies are marked by social and political circumstances, and about young people seeking their way in a society where they never quite arrive, told with anger, wit and tenderness.
