The unexpected death of a mutual acquaintance brings together the lives of two men in a crematorium. As the furnace operator, Cem is closer to death every day than most people. Cremating bodies and grinding the remains to fill urns is part of his daily routine. But when he recognizes an old friend during a post-mortem inspection one day, he is shocked. Confronted with the transience of life in a new and very personal way, he shares his pain with the deceased person’s husband, who is a complete stranger to him.
