Synopsis

Against the backdrop of modern day Istanbul, three people from radically different backgrounds find themselves on a collision course over a bag that may hold the answer to each of their dreams. Metin is a cab driver and petty thief who fled the violence of the Anatolian village of his childhood only to find himself dealing with bigger problems in the big city. Sevda is a nurse and long-suffering wife searching for an escape from her loveless marriage. And Godwill is an illegal Nigerian emigre who is desperate to get to France in hopes of turning over a new leaf. Through a random series of twists of fate, their paths intersect amid the chaos of daily life in the teeming city, as each of them in turn finds a potential opportunity to achieve their aspiration for a better life.
