Kamil (Erol Afşin) and his wife Remziye (Saadet Işıl Aksoy) live in a slum in the Fikirtepe district of Istanbul. One day, the penniless but kind-hearted worker takes a job at a neighboring construction site. This goes against his opposition to urban gentrification, which has been intensified by the construction boom since Erdogan took office in Istanbul. Kamil even accepts the low wage that was paid to his predecessor, the Syrian refugee Amman (Kida Khodr Ramadan), who was unable to work due to an injury. When Amman wants his job back, it further fuels Kamil's inner conflicts – and leads to tragic complications.
