The successful movie is set in the early 1980s during Turkey’s coup d’état period and tells the heartbreaking story of Memo, a shepherd who lives with his beloved little daughter and grandmother in an Aegean town. With a mental deficiency, Memo is framed for the murder of the martial law commander’s daughter and his life is turned upside down.
