The film stars Müjde Ar as the intersex character Caniko. Caniko plays ball with the men in the neighborhood and makes music in the streets with the all-male mobs. One evening, while drinking and having fun in a tavern, Acenta Rıza's men kidnap Caniko. When they attempt to rape them, they realize they have a penis and stab them. Caniko is hospitalized and is made a woman through forced surgery without their consent. Starting a new life, Caniko takes the name Raziye and starts working as a dancer at Naciye’s, who runs a brothel. Having difficulty adjusting to womanhood, Raziye meets Adnan, a football player she knew from her old life.
