Synopsis
Everyday life of a Turkish family in a small town in Anatolia. The school holiday has begun, the children in their blue uniforms happily running outdoors. Only one young boy seems troubled. One of his classmates has stolen his schoolbook, and now he won't be able to do his holiday homework. His older brother comes to visit. He doesn't want to go back to his military service, he would rather move to Istanbul instead. The mother chats with her friends over a glass of tea, while the father holds down his difficult job. When the father suddenly dies, the remaining family members need time and space to let the death sink in. Slowly but surely, the family finds its way back to their everyday life.
