CONFERENCE OF THE BIRDS

After the funeral of the club’s head coach, former assistant Erdem Yıldırım finds himself confronted with questions on a press conference. As his statements are translated to the public, backroom meetings start to turn into unusual encounters. Club officials gather to navigate the turmoil, while Yıldırım and translator Anna Malik share secret moments in a Muslim prayer room. Meanwhile, the head scout fails to convince star player Sylla to agree to a transfer, and newly appointed head coach Simons van de Simons takes measures to avoid being recruited by his former rival club. As the day of the big final approaches, the team prepares—unaware of what lies ahead.
