Released from prison after serving a 10-year sentence, Yusuf finds himself in a cheap hotel in Izmir where he meets a woman, a man, and a child who will complicate his life in unexpected ways, as he tries to survive in a society where social turbulence, an economic crisis, and an unstable political situation have created a new reality. "Innocence opens the kind of doors we are unlikely ever to see again in Turkish cinema...Like all great filmmakers, [Demirkubuz] uses his language without the least concession to the syntax imposed by Hollywood cinema...he has the courage to film the 10-minute scene where Bekir tells his life story—a scene that is sure to go down in the annals of Turkish cinema—in a single shot." (Yildirim Turker, Radikal)
