Synopsis

Emre and Defne, a couple in their early thirties, wake up in a messy apartment filled with scattered boxes, seemingly in the midst of moving. Defne’s daily routines create intimate, magical moments within the ordinary, leading Emre to realize unseen patterns in their relationship. By evening, movers and a friend clear out the space. As Defne paints over the traces of their past, Emre finally moves on, carrying the lessons he’s learned—bittersweet yet complete.
