About

Pınar, who works as a specialist at Eskişehir State Hospital, is sent to a place she has never seen before, on a mission she received from the chief physician's office one night. This place that she had never paid attention to before, is a prison. In this large prison, opposition organizations hold important political prisoners, and it has been a month since they started a hunger strike to protest the prison administration and the justice system. Prison administrators and members of the ministry are trying to cover up the incident by sending the detainees and closing the prison, and on the day Doctor Pınar was called to the prison, the detainees were already packed into the transport vehicles. What is expected from Pınar is a doctor's signature that they will use to cover up the incident.
