Ömer, Yakup and Yıldız, three children of about 12,13 years old, are just between childhood and youth.
Ömer, the son of the imam, wishes hopelessly for the death of his father. When he understands that wishful thinking does not have any concrete results, he begins to search for childish ways to kill his father. His best friend Yakup is in love with his teacher. He hides his guilty feelings even from his friend Ömer. When some day he sees his father spying the teacher, he dreams, like Ömer, of killing his father.
Yıldız both studies and tries to manage the household works imposed by her own mother. She tries to be a mother for her baby brother. On the other hand, she learns with irritation about the secrets of the relationship between men and women.
Five times elapse. Children, oscillating between rage and guilt, grow up slowly. Ömer gives up killing his father. Stuck between love and hate, he cries desperately.
