Passionate about music since childhood, his beautiful singing voice captivates the women of his neighborhood, though his heart belongs only to his neighbor, Nazlı. One day, Katip’s singing earns him sudden fame that reaches the palace itself. Praised by the court, he is finally granted a clerical post in the ministry. However, when he rushes to share the good news with Nazlı, he discovers that her family has been exiled by order of the sultan. Unable to reunite with his beloved, Katip continues his rise through the ranks of public service—until one day he is summoned back to the palace, where fate awaits him once more.

Guner Sernikli is a government official who, with his wife and their wheelchair bound daughter, has been assigned as the head librarian to this isolated province, virtually an exile since there is no library in the village. The family is warmly welcome, but these are the years of political anarchy and leftist/rightist clashes in big cities and the youth of the village inevitably follow the tides. They arrive in Vizontele, just as the situation is becoming really absurd. Guner brings wisdom; his daughter Tuba brings beauty, innocence and love. Some like the Mayor, Nazmi Dogan and crazy Emin appreciate these things but they are in the minority and confusion continues to reign. The story is based on the memories of writer-director Yılmaz Erdoğan of the last summer of his childhood in Hakkâri, Turkey in 1980.
