28歲的Kamil失業已久,本地居民及敘利亞難民為了謀生都在爭奪相同的職位,造成土耳其的勞動市場競爭激烈。Kamil逐漸負擔不起自己和妻子Ramziye生活費,只能放下身段去附近的建築工地找工作。這些高樓屬於伊斯坦堡都市更新計劃的一部分,只不過Kamil有許多朋友都因為都更而不得不搬家。Kamil終於得到了一份薪資普通的工作,但有一名敘利亞難民因此失業。沒有操作機器許可證的Kamil秘密開始上工,做夜班工作,然而他需要付錢取得許可證,若不支付的話,他就會丟掉工作。在絕望中,Kamil必須思考自己的下一步。
Twenty-eight-year-old Kamil has been unemployed for quite some time, unable to find work in the competitive workforce of Turkey. Jobs are spread thin between Turkish locals and Syrian refugees, all looking to make ends meet. Frustrated by his inability to provide for his wife Ramziye, he swallows his pride and looks for a job working on the high-rises being built around his neighborhood that are part of Istanbul's urban renewal project (which has already displaced many of his friends around the neighborhood). When the opportunity for work finally arrives, it's in the form of a lower-paid job that displaces a Syrian refugee. Kamil takes the job in secret, working nights, but his problems worsen when he needs to pay for the necessary permits to operate the machinery used or risk losing his job. Desperate, Kamil must figure out what to do next.
