8x8

Sarp and Eda decide to rent an Airbnb house in a remote location outside İstanbul for one last rendezvous before a long separation. Upon arriving at the house, they encounter Can, who is attempting suicide, and intervene to rescue him. While their immediate focus is on helping Can, something even more crucial is at stake: their relationship. Perhaps this is the reason why they find themselves unable to depart from the house. As tensions rise and arguments ensue, the couple becomes increasingly entangled, making it difficult for them to part ways. This time, it is Can who will rescue them. Can offers the monkfish he caught in the morning, its lifeless eyes reflecting death. As Eda displays excessive interest in Can, it causes a rift between Sarp and Eda. Nonetheless, the couple decides to stay at the house, believing it to be their last night together. Eda and Can share another common interest: chess. As Sarp's jealousy intensifies, Eda and Can become engrossed in the limitless possibilities of the chessboard. As the night unfolds, the three initially grow closer, but as alcohol and drugs come into play, they embark on a truth-revealing guessing game that goes on much longer than necessary.
