Synopsis
Mihram is an independent young market trader living in Eastern Turkey. His daily routine is composed of drinking, gambling, trading and bilking his customers for a profit. He dreams of one day having his own mobile phone business but he does not have the seed money to make it happen. One day, a female doctor calls upon his services--she wants to pay him to purchase medicine from abroad for children in a Turkish hospital. Mihram sees this as the perfect way to finally fulfill his dream. While putting his master plan in place, Mihram encounters the unexpected.
