Leyla and her boyfriend Yilmaz are in the porn film sector for 25 years in Germany. A while ago, they moved to Istanbul and Yilmaz left her for another woman. Although they are separated, Yilmaz comes up with a last minute request: one last movie where Leyla meets 20 year old handsome but quite traumatic character Izzet. The age difference between Leyla and Izzet, unsolved problems of Izzet's chubby mother and sister, Yilmaz's passion to his work and its results all crash into each other in an unexpected way.
