Mustafa, a man in his early thirties, struggles to make ends meet with his wife Canan and their young daughter Cemre in the slums of Istanbul. When Canan’s illness reaches a critical stage and immediate surgery becomes her only chance of survival, Mustafa is left desperate. His factory has been shut down for months due to a lockout, and his long-overdue wages remain unpaid.

A man of dignity who has never bowed to anyone, Mustafa now finds himself forced to set aside his pride. To save his wife, he resolves to confront the factory owner, Yakup Bey, and demand the wages he is rightfully owed.

But what begins as a desperate attempt to keep his family alive will spiral into a day that changes the lives of Mustafa and his daughter Cemre forever.
