The island of Cyprus has been rocked by wars, massacres, and intrigues for centuries. The traces of the 1974 Cyprus Peace Operation still remain fresh in their lives. The impossibilities, helplessness, and cultural decay they experienced began to have an increasingly noticeable effect day by day. The children of the war, born in 1974, were forced to spend their childhood and youth amid the post-war ruins. The film tells the story of the socio-psychological events Cyprus has experienced, based on the love story of a young Cypriot artist and musician named Derin Umut. The film examines the alienation, cultural decay, youth crises and escapes, drug use, and problems young people face in their relationships with their families, primarily through the life of a young man named Derin (North). The film is set primarily in Kormacit, where the most beautiful sunsets can be seen.
