The suffering of women who spend their lives working in fields, forests and meadows without rest or respite in the Black Sea region is the subject of the documentary. Revealing this difficult life to the outside world, the film takes its name from the subject, Ifakat, who was the victim of an unsolved murder with her two daughters in an alpine meadow house. There are 120 houses in the village, which are located 2,000 meters above sea level. The men of the village leave for big cities and other countries to earn money, which makes the situation more difficult for women in the village. Women are the only permanent inhabitants. There are neither proper roads nor electricity, and the village has no considerable economic activity.
