Tarik is a mathematics teacher who is assigned from Anatolia to Istanbul. Director and other teachers explain him that the school is a difficult one. First of all, the neighbourhood is full of unwanted events. Men wait on the corners trying to sell drugs to kids. On top of all, his students hate math class. Tarik's world-view is not only about teaching mathematics but also about turning math into a system that the students can and use in their daily news. As a teacher, he has various ways to get his students interested in the subject. He tries to win them over by reflecting the mathematical problems and symbols to their daily lives. However, students cannot concentrate on their classes due to conditions of the school. Tarik finds himself in a huge struggle from the first day on.
