El cerebro permanece activo hasta diez minutos después de que el corazón deje de latir. Durante ese lapso, mientras el cuerpo de Leila yace en un cubo de basura a las afueras de Estambul, el tiempo fluye y, minuto a minuto, le trae un nuevo recuerdo: la infancia con su padre y sus dos madres en una casa grande y antigua de una apacible ciudad de Turquía; los chismorreos de las mujeres mientras los hombres van a la mezquita; la huida a Estambul para escapar de los abusos y las mentiras familiares y de un matrimonio concertado; el amor hallado de manera inesperada en el burdel de Mamá Amarga... Y los cinco amigos que conoció en el camino, su verdadera familia que, al tiempo que su vida agoniza, tratan desesperadamente de encontrarla.
