Spoilers ahead

Muharrem is introduced as a humble and devout man, living a solitary and austere life defined by prayer and sexual abstinence. His deep devotion catches the attention of the Seyh, the head of a Istanbul Sufi order, who offers him an administrative post as a manager for the seminary properties that support a school for orphans and poor children. This new role pulls him out of his quiet routines and thrusts him into a world he has scarcely experienced, a landscape of buses, markets, and conversations about money, duty, and appearances.
