Hacer (Betul Ascioglu) has a tough job in a steel foundry in Duisberg, but his salary is not too bad. For that reason, he decides to send for his wife and children to live with him. Unfortunately, he loses his job after they arrive, and his tradition-bound wife is forced to turn her back on her conservative background and go to work. Once she starts bringing in money, the family situation changes in more ways than one.
