Hayalini bile kuramayacağın güzellikte bir kadınla evleniyorsun. Çok geçmeden bütün ülkeye rezil rüsva oluyorsun. Herkes kendinden emin: Tek suçlu sensin! Annen, baban, ablaların... Bakkal, komşu, arkadaşların... Hatta Polis! Haklı ya da haksız olman mühim değil, Türkiye'nin seni affetmeye hiç niyeti yok! Tek şansın var: Unutulmak! Yapılan araştırmalara göre ihtiyacın olan yalnızca 17 gün. Yoksa 22 miydi? Devrim lanetli bir medyatik. Şehrin kenarlarında yalnız bir hayat sürüyor. Gezegendeki en şanssız erkek olduğuna inanıyor. Bir gün son kararını veriyor: Yeter! Tam intihar edecekken, evinde televizyon olmayan son güzel kadına rastlayıp âşık olacak. Kaçtığı kameralara mafyanın kurşunları da eklenecek böylece. Gerçek belalarla tanışma fırsatını bu sayede yakalayacak Devrim. Bakalım fırsatı değerlendirebilecek mi?

His books that on the whole treat the tragedies of ordinary people, the impasse of relationships between men and women in today's Turkish society and the melancholy of getting old with an expression that is mournful but that evokes a smile here and there, have been appraised by Professor Gürsel Aytaç as being examples in Turkish literature of "romantic irony" (Hürriyet Gösteri: July-August 2005). Tuna Kiremitçi who studied cinema at the Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts, and who has received awards for short films at various festivals is engaged on work as a columnist and in writing scenarios.
