- Synopsis
- From the very beginning, young Mehmet regrets his parents' decision to leave their drought-plagued village in search of a better life. His family fares worse in the capital city of Ankara. Soon the family finds itself in debt to a rich, scheming uncle and everyone must take whatever jobs they can in order to survive. With the help of a homeless runaway, Mehmet learns some tricks of survival; a friendship with a woman named Zekiye Hanim also proves beneficial. While the spirits of people around him are broken by hardship and tragedy, Mehmet ultimately escapes the crippling effects of despair.
