Suna, a fifty year old, poor and lonely woman with no income, finds a place to stay by marrying an old man who is Veysel, who lost his wife years ago. He’s in his seventies, and lives alone in a silent village. Suna hates making love with Veysel. Her restless heart won’t give her or anyone close to him peace. She gets depressed. She starts drinking alcohol secretly. She is raped in a bar. She falls hopelessly in love with a journalist. It’s definitely not the winter of love for her.’
