Cemil is a feisty young man from Trabzon who played for Trabzonspor in the mid-1990s. He transferred to Beşiktaş during the same period and changed greatly in character after moving to Istanbul. During a Beşiktaş-Trabzonspor match, he scored three goals against his former team, Trabzonspor, and then did three somersaults, earning him the nickname "Somersaulting Cemil" and turning all his old friends and fellow Trabzon natives against him. He left his fiancée Zeynep and settled in Istanbul, never returning to his hometown for 20 years. Now in his 40s, Cemil is forced to return to Trabzon when he hears that his father has had a heart attack. However, he is too late—his father has already passed away. He wants to return to Istanbul immediately after the funeral, but he is forced to change his mind after hearing the words of his closest friend, Kemal.
