Nadine is a factory worker. When she begins to perceive her colleague Paul in various guises, she discovers her great love for him. But years later, her love for him dissolves and she starts to question her own gaze.

Inspired by the life and music of Robert Wyatt, Rock Bottom is a tale of self-destructive love between Bob and Alif, a young couple of artists immersed in the creative and ground-breaking whirlwind of the hippy culture in the early 70s. Drugs will turn a passionate summer into a nightmare and a journey through Wyatt's music: the euphoria and anguish of artistic creation, unwitting fascination with drugs, disillusion with routine and physical and mental breakdown.

Deniz returns to her hometown to attend her widowed mother's wedding. The anger, fear, and guilt she thought she'd left behind, resurface during the visit. As her mother leaves her the family house, a tragedy haunts her. She can't stop thinking about her father drowning at sea. Moreover, she feels her mother blames her and has abandoned her for it. She realizes she won't be able to move on like her mother unless she faces her problems head-on. Following a confrontation, Deniz accepts the past and takes a real step into adulthood. Sitting by the sea, she is at peace. The sea is no longer a threat but a sign of liberation. She jumps in.
