Retired widower Ali (Tuncel Kurtiz) sees a solution to loneliness when he meets prostitute Yeter (Nursel Kose.) Ali proposes to the fellow Turkish native to live with him in exchange for a monthly stipend. Ali's son Nejat (Baki Davrak,) a university professor, seems disapproving about his boorish father's choice. But the young German man quickly grows fond of kind Yeter, especially upon discovering most of her hard-earned money is sent home to Turkey for her daughter's university studies. The accidental death of Yeter distances father and son even more, emotionally and physically. Nejat travels to Istanbul to begin an organized search for Yeter's daughter, Ayten (Nurgul Yesilçay.) He decides to stay in Turkey and trades places with the owner of a German bookstore who goes home to Germany.  What Nejat doesn't know is that 20-something political activist Ayten is already in Germany, having fled the Turkish police. Alone and penniless, Ayten is befriended by German student Lotte (Patrycia Ziolkowska,) who is immediately seduced by the young Turkish woman's charms and political situation.  Full Production Notes
