Scurrying out of the bitter winter wilderness, a wide-eyed thief (Sermet Yesil) drags a drowned boy out of the river – and miraculously brings him back to life.

He’s welcomed into a tiny village in the Turkish mountains, where he begins to cure the sick, utter cosmic gibberish and steal from the tills. Is he the Messiah or a very naughty boy?
