The film takes place in three bathrooms. Two of them are side-by-side and the third sees the two right across the street. In these 3 places, 3 different couples and a young voyeur boy (actually an art student who researches for a project) are described in stories. At the core of these stories there are determinations of the nature of men and women, marriage and betrayal.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Altıoklar adapted this from his own stage play, explaining the deliberately theatrical single-location structure that barely expands beyond its bathroom origins.
The three-bathroom layout mirrors classic three-act structure — except here the 'acts' are literal porcelain stages where Turkish middle-class marriage performs its private breakdowns.
