In Karatas, an abstract urban entity where the scars of corruption shape the backdrop of a disembodied world, Moor, a silent former soldier suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder, drags his own ghosts behind him. He reunites with Maria, his brother’s wife, a model on borrowed time, trying to survive the debts left behind by her missing husband. Moor’s arrival in her life opens a breach in this despair.
