Fed up with her life in Türkiye, computer engineer Gökçe migrates to Berlin seeking more freedom. Expecting her close friends who have just migrated to be guarantors and help her find a permanent home, Gökçe spends a day meeting everyone she knows but ends up in frustration. After a long day, she begins to question her future in Berlin. In these days when brain drain is on the agenda more frequently than ever, the film tells the story of the search for identity and the emotional state of finding oneself caught between two countries in a plain and humorous way.
