Plot Synopsis

Little Deniz, who lost his mom during the 1980 military coupe seven years earlier, begins a journey to his grandfather’s farm, whom he's never met, in the Aegean.

The reason why Deniz has never seen his grandfather is that his father and grandfather have been angry with each other for years.

This is because when Hüseyin Effendi found out that his son whom he had sent away for education was involved in political activities, he disowned him. The reason why Sadık comes back home despite everything is that he has to leave Deniz; he will entrust his little son with his own father.

Deniz virtually finds himself in the middle of a slightly eccentric family on this farm. Handmaids of the farm, an angry aunt, a fabulous grandma driving tractor and using a walkie-talkie, Hanife the bride wearing bracelets from wrist to neck and a naïve uncle. Just imagine that all of them talk loudly, and talk all at once.

While Sadık is in town trying to reconcile with a country he fought for, with his lover and himself, the child will melt all the ice between his father and his grandfather.
