Synopsis

When his mother dies, Yusuf, a poet, returns to his home village, which he hasn't visited for years. A young girl named Ayla who had been living with his mother for the past five years, is waiting for him in a decrepit house.
Ayla has a request to make: Yusuf must perform the sacrificial rite his mother, Zehra, could not fulfill before she died.

On their way for the saint's tomb, they are obliged to spend the night in a hotel. Caught up in the atmosphere of a wedding party at the hotel, Yusuf and Ayla find themselves drawn together.
