He opens the store in the morning and either takes a nap or watches TV until his boss arrives. In the evenings, he goes home carpooling with Kemal from the coffeehouse. When he watches a new item on TV about the perils of cars running on LPG, he starts to check out each taxi he rides on to see whether it runs on autogas or not, each time, he marks a score. To avoid using a vehicle, he dicedes to move to a newapartment closer to work. This change he makes will be a vital turning point for Alim.

Notes
While this film has it flaws, overall I found it an engrossing tale· The acting seemed a bit flat at times, perhaps because so much of the plot revolves around Aiman's inner turmoils which, I think, requires great acting skills to project. I do not feel I understood Aiman's obsession to become the new executioner.
