In the last years of the Ottoman Empire, a poor little Anatolian town named Saripinar is hit by a minor earthquake which has neither destroyed nor left it with many casualties. However, a telegraph sent to the central government exaggerates the situation and mentions that the governor of the town has been severely wounded, making the event a nationwide matter.
Nazmi, who was an officer in the military, was injured in the Korean War and retired. He wants to spend the rest of his life on a farm away from city life and settles with his wife on the farm. But the arrival of Jülide to the farm changes all the balances.
