Night, heavy rain. Demir, a tall man in his mid-30s with a scar above his eyebrow and a dark coat, steps off a ferry at an old pier and walks up a narrow street. Close-up of his eyes, then wide shot of the neighborhood. Voice-over, deep calm voice, Turkish: "Sekiz yıl sonra döndüm. Mahalle hâlâ aynı... ama insanlar aynı değil."
