8 months have passed since the February 6 and 20th earthquakes that struck Kahramanmaraş in south-eastern Turkey. In the centrally located Affan neighbourhood of Antakya, where the earthquakes had devastating effects, Erkan stands amidst the rubble of his family home with his relatives to survey the damage. On one side is his father, who left the neighbourhood to study in London in the 1970s and returned ever-since only for short visits. On the other side is his aunt, who never left Affan even in the aftermath of the disasters. Passing through the same streets on different days with either his father or his aunt by his side, Erkan invites the audience to witness the personal history of his family, and by extension, the history of the neighbourhood and the impacts of the earthquakes.
