In the early seventies, the first television arrives in a small town in the remote Turkish mountain province of Hakkari. The mayor is in charge of correctly delivering the television, but because he has nobody who knows this invention, he is forced to ask for the help of an electrician and radio repairer. As the expectations about the television grow across the whole town, the owner of the local cinema theatre and his son will do everything they can to make the Mayor fail. At the same time, the Mayor’s family tries to keep themselves informed about a son who has just been sent to the military service, right in the moment when the Turkish invasion to North Cyprus takes place.
