Film synopsis: 
<p>Logline: When a simple but well-groomed young single mom has to take the night shift leaving her twin girls alone with her grandmother, the grandmother falls asleep and the kids start doing what most of the women could recall as &ldquo;one of the most enjoyable things in life&rdquo; from their childhood memories.</p> <p>Synopsis:&nbsp;<br /> A single mom with 6-year-old twin girls in her mid-30s works at a job requiring night shifts. While she is still at home, she makes Turkish coffee and comes into the living room where the kids are playing with memory cards. The telephone rings as she is drinking her coffee. A friend of hers is calling. When the mother leaves the room to talk on the phone, they begin to drink the coffee, which reveals that they tend to get naughty when they find the chance. Meanwhile, we learn from the telephone conversation that the mother will be taking the night shift and her grandmother will be looking after the girls.&nbsp;<br /> In the evening, the kids sleep in their beds and the mother is ready to leave for work. She comes into their room and kisses them goodnight. She calls out at her grandmother, but 73-year-old grandmother doesn&rsquo;t give an instant reply as she is half asleep. After the mother leaves, the grandmother falls asleep again. As the slim girl with the curly hair guesses this could happen, she comes into the living room to check whether the grandmother is asleep already. When she makes sure of it, she goes into the bedroom with her sister to monkey about the chest and the drawers, which they like to do very much. At first, they were calm and quiet but the things and costumes they find turn the night into a little party night for them. At the end of the night, an-unlock-with-a-key- sound is heard, which is also familiar for most of us in our childhood memories.</p>
