During the final years of the Ottoman Empire, occupying forces raided villages and oppressed the people. Nationalist fighters Süleyman Ağa and his friends organized themselves and planned to launch a resistance against the enemy. They wanted Mehmet, Süleyman Ağa's son in Istanbul, to lead the organization. For this reason, Mehmet returned to his homeland years later. However, Mehmet would not act according to the plans made by the nationalist fighters.
