Mustafa and his wife, Esma, are a working-class married couple whose only goal in life is to pay the installments of their recently purchased television set by working extra shifts. They are politically apathetic and have no relevance with the protests that are organized by the worker unions. One morning, when they wake up with the notice of a military coup, they still maintain their indifference and show no reaction to the political news. As a matter of fact, Mustafa becomes pleased by the military intervention as he thinks that national security is about to be achieved. However, one night, when he is mistakenly arrested for being a political activist with the code name “Şehmuz,” Mustafa begins to realize that life is not simply black and white.
