The film tells the story of a family who moves from a village to the city. Fatma moves to Istanbul after her husband is killed in a blood feud. There, she starts working as a doorkeeper in an apartment building. Her eldest daughter, Halime, is in a relationship with Rıza, a wealthy married man. Her younger daughter Ayşe, who is studying fine arts, is ashamed of her mother's job as a janitor. Her son Yusuf, on the other hand, is determined to avenge his father's death. He waits for Mahmut, the man who killed his father, to be released from prison. While Fatma tries to protect her daughters, she also struggles to convince Yusuf to abandon the blood feud.
