Plot



lyas (Kadir nanr) is a truck driver from stanbul who comes to a remote village to work in the construction of a dam. When his truck gets stuck in the muddy dirt road, he comes across Asya (Trkan oray), a woman from the village who he nicknames Al Yazmalm ('red scarf'). They fall in love, get married and have a child called Samet. One day lyas stops to help some stranded bystanders, but in doing so, he is delayed and ends up getting fired. When Asya goes to his boss and pleads for lyas to be reinstated, lyas is enraged and hits her, then leaves her to start an affair with his former casual girlfriend Dilek (Hlya Tulu). When lyas realises his mistake, he goes back only to find that Asya and his child have left the house. Asya and Samet are wandering by the road when they hitchhike on the back of a truck with a kind stranger Cemit (Ahmet Mekin). After Cemit realises that Asya has nowhere to go, he takes pity on them and offers them food and shelter while lyas searches desperately for them. Samet becomes increasingly fond of Cemit and Asya begins to see that Samet thinks of him as a father. Then one day after many years, lyas suddenly appears and Asya is left to make a choice between him and Cemit.[https://web.archive.org/web/20210602214609/https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/article-file/842977.
