Cousin Yusuf unexpectedly arrives on Mahmut's doorstep. He wants to find work at sea now that he has been fired from the factory. Initially the two men live virtually in ignorance of one another. At night Mahmut sniffs his cousin's shoes, treats them with a spray and places them in a cupboard. Yusuf secretly calls his mother while Mahmut is secretly watching a porn movie. It becomes increasingly difficult for the men to avoid one another. Mahmut gets caught in his own mousetrap of glue when Yusuf nearly catches him listening in on a telephone conversation. Yusuf is even still present when he leaves one evening at Mahmut's request: beer cans and flowing ashtrays infuriate Mahmut. Tension rises when Mahmut believes that Yusuf is responsible for the disappearance of his silver watch. He even keeps suspecting his cousin after he finds the watch. Yusuf is clearly insulted. He leaves as unexpectedly as he arrived. The keys are left hanging on a coat hook, his sleeping bag rolled up on his bed.
