Black Sun

After the dog days, a storm threatens during a sudden road trip to a distant island for a funeral. While the deceased is buried in haste, a man travels through Aegean Turkey: a dip in the sea, a dream at a small-town hotel, a light sleep at a hammam, a visit to the coffin-maker. After arriving home, leftovers are eaten as mourning looms. The funeral is eclipsed by a last wish.
