Award-winning Turkish drama detailing the simple and subdued life of a family living in rural Anatolia. Yusuf (Bora Altas) is a painfully shy and reserved little boy who can only express himself to his beloved father Yakup (Erdal Besikcioglu). Yakup earns a modest living by collecting honey from the woods surrounding the family's remote home, while his wife Zehra (Tulin Ozen) runs the family home and Yusuf spends his days attending the local school. But tensions build when the honey crop fails and Zehra becomes increasingly worried that Yusuf is struggling to learn to read. Then, one evening, Yakup does not return from the forest...
