PLOT

Arif lost his father Ozan before he could get to know him and grew up without a father. He lives with his mother Makbule in the neighborhood where he was born, far from the city center, and has a childish crush on his neighbor Arzu, who is much older than him. The shy boy begins writing letters to Arzu. The return of his grandfather İhsan, who had left them years ago, suddenly turns the young boy's life upside down. İhsan pretends to be paralyzed to convince Makbule to let him stay, and the only one who knows the truth is Arif. At first, the two do not get along well, as Arif has matured beyond his years due to his fatherlessness, while İhsan, despite his age, remains childlike. However, when his grandfather discovers Arif's love for Arzu, things change. With his grandfather's help, Arif begins to write more beautiful letters and gradually grows closer to his grandfather. Ozan, their shared loss, becomes a bridge that brings the two people together despite the decades between them.
