Ali Nazik (Uğur Yücel) who moved to Istanbul from the village, dreams of becoming a famous folk singer and seeks the help of music producer Mr. Muhsin (Şener Şen) to release an album. A classical Turkish music enthusiast, Mr. Muhsin, unhappy with the changes in the city and the effects of arabesque music, is determined to live by traditional principles and values.
