Yaşar, Apo, Kovboy Ali, Cevat, and Ertuğrul's only goal in life is to fill their stomachs and never be separated from their greatest passion, wine, even for a single day. These five people, who live day to day, know how to take advantage of the stormy political atmosphere of the time to achieve their goals. These five homeless individuals living on the streets find themselves facing a curfew on the morning of September 12, 1980. However, the only "home" they can go to is the streets themselves. As a result of a series of comedic misunderstandings, they find themselves imprisoned alongside political prisoners in the same jail.

Guner Sernikli is a government official who, with his wife and their wheelchair bound daughter, has been assigned as the head librarian to this isolated province, virtually an exile since there is no library in the village. The family is warmly welcome, but these are the years of political anarchy and leftist/rightist clashes in big cities and the youth of the village inevitably follow the tides. They arrive in Vizontele, just as the situation is becoming really absurd. Guner brings wisdom; his daughter Tuba brings beauty, innocence and love. Some like the Mayor, Nazmi Dogan and crazy Emin appreciate these things but they are in the minority and confusion continues to reign. The story is based on the memories of writer-director Yılmaz Erdoğan of the last summer of his childhood in Hakkâri, Turkey in 1980.
