The film depicts a world in which Atatürk never became leader, the War of Independence never took place, and the Ottoman Republic continues to exist in a form adapted to the present day. The continuation of the Ottoman Republic instead of the Republic of Turkey, Ankara not being the capital, signs and license plates being in both Turkish and Arabic, and the sultan wearing a suit under his caftan are some of the tragicomic situations that make up the film's story.

Özkan, who is still too young to distinguish between work and play, works for free alongside his father, Mezeci İsmail Hakkı, who is struggling to make ends meet with his three-wheeled mobile cart. Pirinç Han, once a place where grain was sold, no longer lives up to its name. As a apprentice to the grocer, Özkan quietly observed and remembered the daily lives of the merchants at Pirinç Han in the 1970s... What else will Özkan witness? What kind of ending will he write?
