In the heart of Istanbul, the forest of nothingness and a megacity, Omar and his daughter struggle for their lives after fleeing the war in Syria. In this city witnessing all the sorrows and pleasures of the world, Omar, who was once a Public Works officer in his homeland, starts living like a beggar and tries to build his life on an utter obscurity. He pounds the pavement and begs for help with his daughter. The only source of income he can find is catching stray animals and selling them to Fahri, the pet shop owner. One day, Fahri comes to Omar with a strange request: he wants Omar to catch snakes in the forest at the outskirts of the city.
