Based on a popular legend, the movie, as told by an elderly couple in two different versions, approaches a fairytale- like atmosphere with explicit sex scenes. The old man tells the tale of Osman the Noble, who, deeply in love with his wife, Zala, kills her lover, a hunter with whom the couple once shared shelter during a rainstorm. In the old woman’s version, the man the couple meets is a robber, who tricks Osman into a deep well and rapes Zala.
