After the birth of her youngest child, Zuhal is forced to retire from her job at the Ministry of Education, sending her life into turmoil. Just days later, she discovers that her husband, Hasan, has been unfaithful.
Now facing the harsh realities of life, Zuhal and her three sons must navigate survival in the heart of Ankara.
