Zehra, Olgun and their friends still remain, caught somewhere in between the past and an uncertain future. Zehra dreams that love will take her away from her meaningless job and life at home with her strict old-fashioned mother. She becomes fascinated by an older truck driver, Mahur. As Zehra’s desire for him turns into a tragic first love, her rebellious friend Olgun, stuck at home, becomes more and more frustrated by not being on his own. Zehra and Olgun experience a bittersweet rite of passage but as they say goodbye to their childhood innocence, love and hope will help them to move forward.
