Nothing in its Place

In 1978, five leftist youths, who believed that the leftist revolution could be achieved through politics, not violence, gathered in a house and began to discuss the magazine they had published. The subsequent events, which took place that night, revealed the political chaos that existed in Turkey prior to the 1980 coup d'état.
