Because of a local blood feud, a peasant family decides to sell its sheep - a most precious commodity - in far away Ankara. During their long train ride, bribes must be paid to petty officials, sheep are stolen or die in the packed, airless wagons, and the sick wife of one of the family's sons becomes deathly ill.
A suffocating, weary journey through a harsh world. Every step is a struggle, every interaction fraught with peril. The air is thick with desperation and the quiet dignity of those pushed to their limits.
