Osman, a car mechanic, has trouble communicating, because he can understand his mother tongue Kurdish but cannot speak it; and can speak Turkish but cannot understand it. His life will change when one of his customers finds a solution for his problem.

Ali Kemal Çınar’s sardonic hero takes an ingeniously funny look at the centuries-long disputes between Kurdish and Turkish people through the notion of the mother tongue. With shades of Elia Suleiman and Aki Kaurismäki, this deadpan satire portrays a man trapped between two conflicting identities.
