Private Project

Knot

In a vacant lot within a forested area, there is someone who has been beaten, and it is unclear whether they are alive or not… Erdal is a teahouse waiter at the institution where he works, keeping to himself and having no business with anyone. Having no mother or father, he grew up in orphanages. He leads a poor and humble life. His life consists of events that constantly repeat themselves. While Erdal is working, he hears the sound of a glass breaking. He sets out to find the location where the sound originated. At that moment, he unintentionally witnesses the relationship between his supervisor and the colleague he has a crush on. Erdal has no idea whether his witnessing of the events has been noticed or not. He remains torn between telling his boss about the incident or not.
