She returns to a family that is broken- parents who are divorced and a younger sister who has become estranged. The troubled family embarks on a week-long sailing trip, meant to be a last chance for Zeynep’s father Yusuf, a dissident journalist being prosecuted by the government, to reconnect with his daughters before going to prison.

Meatball-maker Kadir dreams of taking flight but his in-laws vehemently disapprove. However, with a little help he may actually make good on this obsession, but as the old saying goes – best not fly too close to the sun.
