Since the death of his parents, the teenage Burak has lived with his uncle Cemil and his grandmother in a remote Turkish village. The small family unit has been trying to make a living by selling fruits. While the religious Cemil is satisfied to live his life in poverty, Burak struggles to leave for the city and attend university.
