Spoiler shield

Two construction workers from Istanbul yearn to escape to sunny Italy and find better jobs. In an attempt to save enough money to move, they unwittingly become involved in their boss's shady criminal dealings. With a little twist of unexpected events their lives turns out to be far from anything they have dreamed of.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
