A day in the metropolis that is Istanbul and a look at three destinies. The 10-year old Cemo sells paper tissues on the street in order to support his family, when one day he finally plucks up the courage to speak to the girl he has long had a crush on. Hayat, whose un-welcomed marriage has lacked passion since day one, gets un-expectantly contacted by her first love who she agrees to meet in secret. Ebru works as a prostitute to make ends meet. This beautiful transsexual can attract any man she wants, but the man of her dreams will not stand by her. On this day, Cemo, Hayat and Ebru are prepared to do everything it takes to quench their desires. With an attentive eye on the poetry of day-to-day life, Esen Isik's authentic debut feature film is a sensitive tale of love, violence and Turkish society at the beginning of the 21st century.
