Synopsis
An independent-minded widow bucks tradition to run her dead husband's truck stop cafe. In Reyhan's village, it is a tradition for widows to marry their brothers-in-law, who assume the burden of a second wife and their children. But Reyhan will have nothing to do with her late mate's lascivious brother. She meets his macho demands with disdain, and much against his wishes, she re-opens the truck stop. The idea of a woman working in a public place full of men is considered unacceptable, so she hides herself in the kitchen while a waiter takes orders. Soon, the place turns into a popular hang-out because of her good cooking. This in turn, outrages her late husband's brother who decides to cause trouble for her.
