Nothing in its Place focuses on the night of Turkiye's bloodiest massacre in 1978.

In October 1978, six leftist youths who believe that the leftist revolution will happen through politics, not violence, gather at a house and start talking about the magazine they publish. Later during the night, two armed nationalist youths raid the house and tie the hands of the leftist youths as they wait for their deaths. Nothing in Its Place describes the night of a real political massacre that took place in Türkiye in 1978.

I was in my early 20s when I first read a book, which I had randomly picked up from my father’s library, about how a group of left-wing university students was murdered in their tiny house in the late 70s. The text I had read was a transcript of the confession a murderer had made during his police interrogation. This blood-curdling confession haunted my mind and led me towards a question: How can a person kill another person for the sake of their own values? Nothing in its Place focuses on the night of Turkiye's bloodiest massacre in 1978.

I think that Turkiye's political history is not based on confrontation but is a history of non-confrontation. The film, which consists of a single sequence (single shot), is related both in content and form to the tradition of non-conflict in Turkish political history.
