THE PLOT OF A BAD DAY

After divorcing his wife, Psychologist Erdem is forced to move into an apartment building inherited from his grandfather, only to realize that the only person living in this small four-story building he never visited is the building superintendent, Yakup. The day after he moves in, Yakup visits him to inform him that the last tenant living upstairs committed suicide a few days prior, and then leaves.

But immediately after, he returns as if he were a completely different person. Although Erdem notices through his psychologist's lens that Yakup is behaving strangely, it takes time for him to realize that the situation is much more serious. What happens between these two men trapped in the apartment promises the audience a dark history and an unsettling confrontation.
