Saliha and Şevki, who live in a shanty town, are one such family. When Şevki's unemployment is compounded by gambling debts, things become even more difficult for the family. Unable to tolerate her husband's indifference, Saliha eventually kicks him out of the house. However, after working as a cleaner for a while, Saliha cannot make ends meet this way. She is forced to ask her old friend Emel, who works as a prostitute, for help.
