Story
Zeynep Altin feels undervalued by her family and stressed from work. After her mother's funeral home dresses her late mother in a man's suit instead of her favorite dress, Zeynep decides to leave Munich for Croatia. She travels to an island holiday home that her mother secretly bought years ago, hoping to find peace and rediscover herself. Upon arrival, she finds Josip, the rough former owner of the property, still living there. Despite their differing views, Zeynep and Josip's encounter leads to unexpected changes in both of them.
