Nazim, a retired teacher, comes back to his native Istanbul after years away, only to find a city transformed beyond recognition. While waiting for his pension to start, he takes a job as a temporary taxi driver. His cab becomes a moving confessional, navigating the city's darker, seedier districts where he witnesses fragments of other lives—loneliness, fleeting connections, and small transgressions. Through the windshield, his own unresolved past begins to echo in the struggles of his passengers, painting a poignant portrait of displacement in a metropolis that has moved on without him.
