In a small, snow-covered, remote town of Turkey, winter has always been tough, but this year it doesn’t seem to come to an end, leaving the roads blocked. Rumour has it that bears have risen early from their winter-sleep and killed animals. Though no one has spotted them, people are scared. Aslı is a young nurse who has been appointed here for her obligatory service. One night, a man goes missing and Aslı finds herself in the middle of a whirlwind of power relationships, secrets and doubts.
