A Turkish gay pilot (Deniz) and a European college student (Ruben) meet in a hotel bar and have drinks together. When Ruben offers the pilot cocaine, the two move upstairs to Ruben’s hotel room. After indulging in alcohol and drugs, the pilot makes a move on Ruben but is rejected. Having endured societal pressure and maternal violence his whole life because of his homosexuality, the pilot has a cathartic outburst of suppressed emotions and ends up smothering Ruben to death with a pillow. Having realized what he’s done, he first deals with the murder in a state of shock, but soon comes to terms with the man he has become.
