Now in their 40s, Handan and Korhan live a humdrum life in an upscale neighborhood of Istanbul. Handan relentlessy tries out new pastimes to keep herself occupied and counts on Korhan's support each time. Korhan, on the other hand, has witnessed too many of her whims and learned not to make much of them. With neither support nor attention from her husband, Handan models herself on her author friend Sermin and takes up writing to fill the void. But her aspirations quickly turn to jealousy, disrupting the dynamics between the two families.
