Münevver Hanım, who comes from a noble family, lives with her veteran maid Suzan in her mansion, which is still ostentatious despite its age. One night, a little girl left at the door of the mansion by her older sister will completely change not only Münevver's life but also the lives of many others. Little Mine is Münevver's granddaughter, whose existence Münevver is unaware of. Mrs. Münevver is surprised to see the necklace around Mine's neck and goes in search of her daughter, who has not called her for years. There are so many secrets and such a murder that when these are revealed, the lives of many people, including Münevver, will be turned upside down, orders will be disrupted, homes will fall apart, and nothing will ever be the same again.
Turkish director Ali Vatansever weighs the human cost of politically motivated urban renewal in his achingly resonant second feature, about a young couple forced to compromise their ideals and work for the very industry encroaching on their Istanbul neighbourhood, in order to keep up with the rent.
What is happening in Istanbul's back streets? Which lives are flowing, in the shadow of poverty? Women, gypsies, transvestites, street children each are victims of another discrimination. A typical Black Sea family connected to each other will meet with people who are trying to cling to the loneliness of life in this neighborhood where they will be forced to survive after their migration to Istanbul.
