Mrs. Salkim's Diamonds

The film follows Nimet and Durmuş as they migrate from Niğde to Istanbul during a tumultuous period for non-Muslims. They seek refuge with Durmuş's friend Bekir, who helps him find work at an inn. Durmuş, however, aspires for a life beyond his current position as a porter, driven by envy of Halit Bey, the inn owner.

Halit Bey is also grappling with the consequences of the Wealth Tax, as he must sell off his possessions to support his beloved wife, Nora, who is in a nursing home. The narrative highlights how the Wealth Tax reshapes the destinies of various characters, reflecting broader social issues within the context of Turkish history.
