Âşık Veysel, the prominent master of a thousand years old âşık (folk literature poet) tradition in Anatolia. By hitting the road with an enormous pain of love, Veysel matures himself with sorrow and finds "divine love" and at last transforms himself into the "folk poet" Âşık Veysel.

Veysel's wild solitary life in the woods is disrupted when the land he inhabits is sold to investors. One day, his younger brother Hasan comes from the city to convince him to leave. As the imminent threat of the eviction rapidly grows, the belated confrontation of the two brothers leads to the discovery of a magical home: A hidden universe in the heart of the forest.
