Considering the conditions of the period in which it was filmed, it is a fairly realistic film. The location is not specified, but I think it is somewhere around Adana. It is a rice field where female agricultural workers are working. A ruthless landlord and a son who is just as evil as his father. One of the female workers, who stands out for her beauty (Melek Görgün), catches the attention of both the landlord and his son. She flees due to the pressure she faces, and her path crosses with that of a young man (Salih Güney) who has suffered at the hands of the landlord, had his land taken away, and lost his sister. They fall in love, and the events lead to a tragic ending. In keeping with classic Yeşilçam screenplays, you expect Salih Güney to avenge his sister's death and reunite with Melek Görgün (or for the woman to die).

Ferdi Tayfur's acting debut that launched his incredible fame literally overnight is this classic, emotionally charged story of impossible love constrained by stark class divides. Follows the story of Ferdi (Ferdi Tayfur), a humble young man whose father works as a butler on a wealthy landowner's sprawling farm. Growing up, he falls deeply in love with Ceylan (Necla Nazır), the landlord's daughter. The two share a pure love, sealing their bond with a vow by a local fountain built from their childhood memories—pledging to love each other for as long as its water flows. However, Ceylan’s status-conscious father vehemently opposes their relationship, preferring a wealthier prospect for his daughter. This sets off a chain of heartbreaking trials of separation, loyalty, social inequality, and the heavy sorrow of a love fighting against the cruel currents of fate.
