Ceyda, a young Turkish woman from a high social class, arrives in France to live with the man she loves. Soon she faces sudden difficulties and an unexpected loneliness... Until when she meets, on the construction site next to her place, an old Asian man, who turns out to speak a language close to hers. This man from the other side of the world seems to have her same problems...
