The film follows an eleven-year-old boy named Aslan and his growing bond with a fighting dog named Sivas. The opening sequences paint Aslan’s days at school and at home, where everyday moments with classmates and family carry a tense undertone, hinting at conflicts simmering beneath the surface of a tight-knit village.

At school, the teacher Okan Avci announces a production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Ayşe, a girl Aslan admires, is chosen to play the princess, while Osman takes the role of the prince. Aslan, however, longs for the prince part, hoping it will win Ayşe’s attention. He pleads with the teacher to be cast as the prince, but the request is denied, leaving his feelings unfulfilled and his aspirations unfulfilled for the moment.
