Reyhan (40) is briefly returning to Istanbul with her husband Tevfik (45), after several decades in Hamburg. However, in this city, even with the family she left there, she feels like a foreigner. She also notices that she has lost her sense of smell. She leaves the doctor's office anxious, wondering what the real cause of this disorder is. Fearing the worst, Reyhan gives up further testing. As she exits the hospital and steps onto a foggy Istanbul street, a slight limp keeps on restraining her steps. Burdened with the thought of the possible terminal outcome of her condition, Reyhan searches for something familiar in the city with which she lost touch.
