From the Village to the City

While working the field in Kayseri village, Saffet's plough hits an obstruction. The pot shatters and reveals a stash of gold coins buried in the soil. The brothers instantly realize they have found treasure and imagine the possibilities. Their excitement marks the start of a profound change in their lives.

With the gold uncovered, they conclude the immediate problem is turning it into real money. They decide to seek the trusted local dealer Ali Rıza in Ankara, who runs a jewelry shop. They hope exchanging through him will be the safest path to wealth. The idea of wealth begins to sow seeds of greed and discord among them.

The brothers decide to travel to Ankara to meet Ali Rıza and arrange the exchange. They worry about transporting the heavy sack and the risk of being robbed on the road. The brothers agree to travel together, keeping the gold tightly guarded along the way.

Upon reaching Ankara, they discover Ali Rıza's shop is closed because of a holiday. The delay forces them to wait and improvise, as they have little income. They must endure hardship on the streets until the holiday ends.

With the shop closed and cash tight, they beg and perform hard labor to earn a few coins. They keep the gold sack always within reach, even when they eat. The constant protection of the sack shows how fear of loss has already changed their behavior.

At Ali Rıza's side, he uses polite talk and hospitality to pry for information about the coins' whereabouts. He suspects the coins may be part of a larger treasure and that there could be more hidden away. The brothers remain wary, feeling the net of suspicion tighten around them.

Guarding the sack becomes an obsession: the brothers carry it everywhere and even share meals while keeping a wary eye on it. Their paranoia feeds Ali Rıza's growing suspicion that the sack contains more than ordinary gold. The tension between trust and greed reaches a boiling point.

To avoid capture or betrayal, the brothers decide to bury the treasure so Ali Rıza can't take it. They dig a spot near their current location and conceal the coins. This act shows their desperation and the fragility of their unity.

During a hushed exchange, Gayret reveals the treasure's secret location, and Ali Rıza overhears enough to know where the coins lie. He uses the information to move closer to the prize while the brothers waste time arguing. The discovery plants the seed for a decisive confrontation.

A fight erupts as the brothers struggle over the gold. Voices rise and old suspicions explode into chaos. The treasure becomes the center of a brutal contest rather than a windfall.

The coins scatter through the structure of the building, slipping away into crevices as the fight rages. The treasure dissolves into nothing, leaving the brothers poorer than before. Their dream of easy wealth collapses under the weight of their conflict.

With nothing left, the brothers return to the same field work they started with in Kayseri, toiling under the sun as they had before. The dream of wealth fades into harsh reality, but their bond is tested and survival pushes them back to the land.
