The subject of the short film called The Tomb focuses on the difficult period of Muharrem Efendi, who was the tomb keeper of the Hakiki Baba Tomb. Here is the main plot of the movie and the synopsis of the story:

Muharrem Efendi, who has been the tombmaster of the Hakiki Baba Tomb for many years, makes a living by praying and writing amulets for the visitors. This holy place has an important place for Muharram both in terms of business and spirituality. However, Muharrem Efendi’s world is turned upside down when the inspectors who come to the tomb one day report that they have received a notice that the tomb is fake and that they will scan the tomb with underground radar to verify its authenticity.

Although Muharrem Efendi says the shrine is real and the spirit of the Genuine Father is still in this place, the inspectors are in doubt. Muharrem Efendi realizes that he has little time to prove the authenticity of the tomb and save its reputation. While he does his best to defend the mystery and authenticity of the tomb, he also challenges his commitment to his faith.
