Synopsis

Cemil has always wanted to be an actor. One day he decides to audition for the villain role in a feature film. Unable to make an impression on the director, Cemil seeks other ways of getting the role. He tries to get in touch with Turgay Göral, the former actor who played the same role years ago. Unfortunately, it was too late because Turgay Göral is found dead in his apartment. Cemil is shocked to see how a former actor can be forgotten and end up dead and lonely. Cemil eventually gets closer to Turgay Göral’s daughter Burcu, watches his old films and reads his unpublished memoir. Being denigrated by people around him, Cemil becomes furious about the villain role. The path Cemil takes to get the role slowly turns into a dark comedy in which Turgay Göral’s life, the villain role he is preparing for and Cemils own character intertwine.
