Çukurova, 1975. A fine golden dust hangs in the air, settling over the railway ties. Züleyha, the celebrated beauty of Istanbul, clutches Yılmaz’s calloused hand. They are fugitives from a murder, from debt, from their own past. Under the relentless Turkish sun, they step into the fertile vastness of Adana, two hearts hammering—one with fear, the other with a love they dare not speak aloud.
