Tayfun – Belgium’s First Turkish Undertaker with a Diploma: Tayfun, 45, is the first officially trained Turkish undertaker in Belgium, a pioneer in a community where most funerals still end with a coffin flown back to Turkey. After years of factory work, he now brings dignity and calm to grieving families. His career shift earned respect and stability, yet his days often end alone at airport cargo gates.

Kemal in Kayseri: In Turkey, 57-year-old Kemal runs a private ambulance service near an Armenian cemetery. He transports the bodies of European Turks from the airport across Anatolia for burial.

He believes every Turk belongs in the soil of home, though his humor hides frustration.

Between Two Worlds: When Tayfun visits Kayseri, he meets Kemal and a female corpse washer. Their encounter exposes a clash of identity, duty, and belonging. 2m² portrays a community suspended between two homelands – and one man seeking reconciliation.
