Cemal, a lonely hearse driver, has to transport the body of a young woman who has been murdered to her parents' home. During the trip, however, the body comes to life and when he sees her, Cemal falls in love with the undead woman. This is when he begins to commit murders in order to feed her, even if it means having to deal with the police's attempts to capture a serial killer.

隐藏在小亚细亚的茫茫冬雪中，是看不见尽头的凄沧。小学老师萨密自比枯草，一直期待快将调职回城市的学校，但某日一封学生藏在笔记簿里写给他的情书被发现，衍生出他性骚扰学生的指控。梦想幻灭、同袍情谊恶化、其他教职员之间的窃窃私语，使得萨密临近崩溃边缘。直到遇见帮他克服难关的女老师，让这绝望的寒冬起了变化。 土耳其电影大师努里·比格·锡兰时隔四年带来新作，借人与人之间的伤痛和救赎，既自省亦警世。餐桌上一场群体与个人、抗争与妥协的意识形态思辩，更令人拍案叫绝。女主角凭此片夺得戛纳电影节最佳女演员殊荣，成为史上首位土耳其戛纳影后。
