Leila, who is singularly androgynous, works at a casino in a predominantly male environment. A croupier by night, she returns to her hotel in the early hours of the morning, while Camil, who occupies the room next to hers, disappears at dawn.The first time she sees him, he is leaning at his balcony, his appearance distraught and tears welling up in his eyes.
