Summertime and the carefree holiday rhythm for two girlfriends, Narguiz and Lali. Both are from a small industrial town lying at the foot of a picturesque mountain. Narguiz, the elder of the two, seems ready to do anything to attract the attention of Erkin, a hero figure for the gang of neighbourhood children. But here the problems begin, as Erkin remains indifferent, not wanting to lower himself to striking up a friendship with a girl.
