Doğan, a pessimistic and neurotic architect, gets ill while camping with his friends nearby Istanbul. His doctor advises travelling. Also longing for his homeland, Doğan sets off on a short break to the town of his childhood where he could not see for years. But not even the countryside has escaped the homogenizing web cast by the modern technological age and liberal mentality inimical to the earth. Doğan would seek in vain for the days in which time used to seem inexhaustable and peculiar to objects, for the geography which used to be tranqulity itself.
A painter who has lived a stormy life that still rages on in his 70s; a lawyer who, forced to retire after a heart attack, spends his time feeding snails and searching for the quiet life; a doctor weary of his job and abandoned by his wife; a businesswoman who has fashioned loneliness into a lifestyle... These are the regulars of Ankara’s 25 year-old bar, Black & White, who gather here every evening. And then there is the bar’s manager Faruk, a stubborn, grumpy, touchy but extremely sweet man.
One day, Faruk announces that he can no longer go on running the bar, and wants to shut it down. The regulars try their best to dissuade him.
