The movie, spanning a time from the 1940s to the 1970s, features a dramatic as well as bright and charged story.
After becoming orphan at an early age, Ali (starring Kenan mirzalolu) immigrates to Turkey from Bulgaria with his oil wrestler grandfather Sleyman. Settled at Eyp in stanbul, he is raised by his grandfather as a brave and equalitarian individual.
During his teen years in the 1950s, Ali falls in love with Mnire (starring Tue Kazaz), the daughter of an outdoor cinema owner. Ali abducts Mnire as her parents does not allow their marriage. From then on, Ali spends a life together with the woman he loves, moving from town to town at railway stations. In the meantime, the couple welcome a son they name Mustafa. Ali, nicknamed now "the Socialist", earns a living by his typewriting and accounting knowledge.
