Mustafa is the apprentice of a well-known Ashik in the area. His motivation derives largely from his impatience to write songs for Gülbayaz, a girl older than himself who he loves with a passion, and to win her heart.

A young boy in a remote region who dreams of becoming a master of traditional music sets off on a trip with his teacher. He promises to bring back an apple as a souvenir for a girl. This eloquent contemporary allegory is set against a backdrop of tradition and culture.—yusufpiskin

Asik Ziyeddin, an advanced word master in Anatolia of the 60-70s, is in an effort to train an apprentice to continue his profession of word mastery and love interest. The Apprentice Mustafa, who undertakes this hard work, has lost his heart to a girl older than him. He dreams of turning the heart of Gulbeyaz, who does not take care of himself by drinking some food from his hand to become a "Lover of Rights". However, Mustafa's dreams will be tested by religion, destiny, politics and poverty.—yusufpiskin
