In the bustling city of Istanbul, Salih and Ayşe struggle to sustain their lives with their 6-year-old mute son. Salih got fired and Ayşe sells insurance over the phone through a home office system. They decide to explore a new job opportunity —motorcycle taxi driving. They sign up to the system under Salih’s name.
