After toiling day and night to clear the debts his father left, he settles behind a greengrocer's stall so that his brother can go to university. Played by Reza Beyk Imanverdi, Rıfat postpones his own marriage for years and finally gets engaged. Sedat, the student, is played by Tarık Akan. He studies hard so his brother's labor is not wasted, yet wants to stop being a burden to him.

Perihan Savaş plays Zeynep and Eşref Kolçak plays Eşref Bey, with Selen Büke, Kadir Savun, Muammer Gözalan and Leman Akçatepe, who plays Sedat's mother. Orhan Kapkı was the cinematographer.
