A red patch, a schoolboy crush and a day that changes everything.
Ahmet, an 11-year-old middle school student, lives with his father, who has been unable to work since breaking his leg. Ahmet needs a patch sewn onto his torn trousers and decides to have it done in red to impress his classmate Yağmur. At the tailor his father sends him to, he narrowly escapes harassment. When he comes home, his father — angry about the red patch — forces Ahmet to face the tailor once again.
