A fake movie shoot becomes real chaos when love, friendship, and terrible filmmaking collide.
Uğur and Barış are childhood friends. They run a DVD store opened by Barış's uncle Engin, who is a motorcycle manufacturer. Uğur is in love with Leyla, Barış's cousin and Engin's sister. Leyla is not indifferent to Uğur either; they occasionally meet in secret without her brother's knowledge. Leyla's greatest wish is to escape her brother's control and start a new life with Uğur. However, Uğur is not much help to Leyla in this endeavor. How can he face Engin and ask for Leyla's hand in marriage? He hasn't even managed to get his own life in order. The solution comes from Barış. They will shoot a film starring Uğur and Leyla. However, when they watch what they have filmed, they realize that this task is not as easy as they thought. While seeking help, they come across a director.
