André stays at home until he received a call from her girlfriend announcing that she's pregnant and she is opting for abortion. To convince her not to, André begins a long journey to Istanbul as he goes deep in his mind to confront his life and fears.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Turpin shot this for roughly $65,000 CAD, borrowing equipment from his day job as a music video director.
One of the few Canadian films of the '90s to treat Turkey as more than exotic backdrop—though Kim's perspective remains deliberately absent.
