Hayat, a Turkish girl in her late teens, is playing on a soccer team when she suddenly falls unconscious. The doctors discover cancer, from which her mother died some years back. Hayat survives, but loses one breast. Her father is seriously worried about her and forbids her any exhausting activities. Hayat escapes, but her former team rejects her. On a small field she meets a new team and falls in love with their trainer Toni, but their relationship soon gets complicated. There will also be conflicts with her former and present soccer teams, an encounter with disease, her father, and, of course, Toni.
