Description: Dreaming of a better life for her son Vasfi's mother encourages him to attend medical school so he can become a great doctor. But Vasfi's infatuation with the beguiling Zeynep and his fiery temper destroy this promising future in a night: Quarreling over Zeynep he kills his cousin in a drunken brawl and spends the next 12 years in prison. After his release he struggles to get by in a world that has moved on without him. He hardly recognizes Zeynep now a bitter tightfisted shop owner. Homeless and unable to find work in Ankara or Istanbul he relies on the kindness of others: an old woman who offers him shelter because he reminds her of her lost son; a friend from prison who secures him a job as a construction worker. In this tragic yet vibrant portrait of a life derailed Suat Dervis offers an insightful deeply humane perspective on the margins of society.
