action

The Turkish greengrocer Alim and the Greek greengrocer Korda had been best friends since childhood. But since Korda accidentally rolled over Alim's father in his car, the friendship between the two has been strained, as the kind-hearted Alim is urged by his grandfather to avenge his father's death. Old Dede blackmailed Alim with the fact that he could not die as long as Alim did not take blood revenge on Korda, and that he would also hand over the vegetable shop to Cousin Sultan. During the night Alim visits Korda with a dagger that Dede gave him, but he cannot bring himself to do the deed. The next day, Cousin Sultan appears to take over the vegetable shop from Alim. Before she can visit Grandfather Dede so that he can change his will in her favor, Alim sneaks up to Dede's bed with the dagger, intending to kill him now. But Dede has already died. Alim immediately runs to Korda to deliver the news to him. The two hug and everything seems fine again. Then the disappointed cousin Sultan gets angry on her motorcycle and drives towards them. Both jump to the side and escape unharmed, but Sultan runs over Korda's father.
