Hasan Ali Toptaş' exquisitely weaves an enigmatic, mystical tale of memory and identity, displacement and belonging. In an Anatolian village forgotten both by God and the government, the muhtar has been elected leader for the 16th successive year. When he staggers to bed that night, drunk on raki and his own well-deserved success, the village is prosperous. But when he is woken by his wife the next evening he discovers that Nuri, the barber, has disappeared without a trace in the dead of night, and the community begins to fracture.
