A love story of a prisoner in Turkey in the 1940s.

Four veterans who fought together on the Plevna front during the 1877-1878 Ottoman-Russian War lose their commander in Plevna during a raid. Years later, in 1915, they learn that their commander's nephew, Lieutenant Yusuf, has been taken prisoner in the Battle of Gallipoli. The four elderly men and a disabled young man embark on a prisoner rescue operation.
