Plot
Hüseyin (Ata Demirer) is a young man living with his grandparents in a village in Turkey's Thracian region. Two things are of great importance in Hüseyin's life: his clarinet and the village nurse Müjgan, who he is in love with. However, one day Hüseyin is forced to go to İstanbul in search of his long-lost father and leave behind his beloved village. In the big city, Hüseyin will receive the biggest support from his clarinet and later from a bar singer called Firuzan (Demet Akbağ). Firuzan, who storms İstanbul's night clubs with her songs, already leads a very colorful and highly complicated life, which, with Hüseyin's inclusion, gets all the more colorful with comedy and action.
