After several years, Fuad Memic - Fuke pays a short visit to his uncle Idriz and aunt Sabira, to fix their water boiler. Over a traditional cup of coffee, Fuke faces the deafening silence and the incurable pain of two old people who lost their son in the war. Spare parts are needed for the old and totally worn out boiler. Promising to return soon to finish the job, Fuke gets ready to leave. However, his visit is extended quite unexpectedly, as it turns out that the battery in his beat-down VW Golf is totally flat and will not start. Fuke is forced to stay overnight at his uncle's. During the long and unpleasant night, Fuke uncovers a painful family rift which makes his already unhappy and lonely relatives even more unhappy and more lonely, and removes all sense or purpose from their lives. Fuke realizes that he must act. A household appliance mechanic turns into a surgeon for human souls. And a successful one: with his newly discovered communication skills, Fuke manages to bring the family back together and leads them to reconciliation.
