Middle-aged Ekrem is forced to take care of his mother, Nergis, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. He has set aside his dream of sailing to the open see to look after his old mother who can't even remember his name. Living in an old apartment with little money, each day is the same. Nergis pisses everywhere, throws away the food... Exhausted, he is imprisoned in smelly old flat with his mother. Locking all the doors and windows so that she doesn't run away, Ekrem seems to accept his fate. Until Nergis puts his patience to the test.
