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.
