Storyline

After an unfortunate love affair, Nesrin, who has become disillusioned with life, works in a boutique (she prefers to call it a tailor's shop) to support her poor and bedridden mother. Due to her introverted nature and melancholic demeanor, she is looked down upon by her coworkers, and because she was abandoned by her fiancé, she is also despised by her neighbors. Nesrin, a beautiful and charming young woman, is also harassed by shopkeepers. On the other hand, the wealthy factory owner Kenan Manizade is also dissatisfied with the life he leads. Tired of his spoiled and artificial surroundings and his cold and indifferent wife Banu, he longs for a simple and honest life. Then fate brings these two unhappy people together.
