A family dislocated when small failings blow up into extravagant lies battles against the odds to stay together by covering up the truth... In order to avoid hardship and responsibilities that would otherwise be impossible to endure, the family chooses to ignore the truth, not to see, hear or talk about it. But does playing "Three Monkeys" invalidate the truth of its existence?

IN TURKISH:
Küçük zaafların büyük yalanlara dönüşerek parçaladığı bir ailenin gerçeği örtbas ederek herşeye rağmen birarada kalma çabası. Altından kalkamayacağı acılara ya da sorumluluklara maruz kalmamak adına gerçeği bilmek istememek, onu görmemek, duymamak, hakkında konuşmamak ya da günümüz tabiriyle "Üç Maymun"u oynamak, onun varolduğu gerçeğini ortadan kaldırır mı?
