The Gulf

Leaving behind a ruined career and divorce, 32-year-old Selim returns to his hometown Izmir. Unwilling to make any plans for the future, he wanders around, revisiting people from his past. He runs into Cihan, a pal of his from the military service: a lower-class idler with a charming energy. As people start leaving the city due to an unbearable stink caused by a maritime accident, Selim finds himself gradually drawn to a new environment of idlers where he’d embrace the possibilities of life again.
