Suna (Nurcan Eren) is in her early 50’s, left without assets and living, more or less, the life of a nomad who moves from house to house of diverse relatives. When they get tired of the situation, she simply gets introduced to a significantly older man (Tarık Papuccuoglu), a widower who immediately proposes to her. It is not just a change in the marital status that will makes Suna more melancholic that she already is, it is also a brutal change in setting. The life of a housewife in a godforsaken village is as attractive as sharing the house with a man who never utters a ‘please’ or a ‘thank you’, and who has to be pampered like a toddler.
