The poet, Yusuf, returns to his hometown to attend his mother´s funeral. Ayla, who has been taking care of his mother, awaits him. She asks Yusuf to fulfill his mother´s dying wishes and have a holy animal sacrificed in her honor. Hating the passive rhythm of country life, the man stumbles upon long-lost memories, old friends, and love that died long ago. He feels guilt, and would rather leave immediately, but is duty-bound to carry out his mother´s last wishes. And, on the journey to the place where the sacrifice is to be made, he begins to understand his roots and starts to admit that there is a certain good sense in returning home, where his mother´s love still watches over him.
