Soldiers come to Halil's village and take away his father, a school teacher. Halil decides to go in search of his father, but when he goes to the police station, he himself is imprisoned - on the assumption 'like father, like son'. After being subjected to days of torture he is eventually released when he convinces the doctor to take a stand against the corrupt police.
