As Nasuhi is returning to his homeland which he left years ago, his young nephew Selim is heading out to a new life. Olga is a young Russian girl, who has run away from home to search for her missing father, a sea captain.

Nasuhi finds Olga beaten up after her first attempt at prostitution. Together, Nasuhi, Selim and Olga set out for Alacati, the Aegean town that Nasuhi left 50 years ago. The olive grove and stone house that Selim has inherited is the only home Nasuhi has. For Selim, settling in the USA is his only dream.
