Emine who does not want to be a burden to anyone in the absence of her husband, prefers to stay in the village relying on the job that Midwife Nazife has found for her.
In this way, Handan wants to take money from her father who is longing for grandchildren, and to make him forgive herself and her husband Cemal who is a losing gambler.
The film, starring Zeynep Değirmencioğlu, Semra Sar, and Metin Serezli, boasts an exceptionally rich cast featuring the master actors and actresses of Turkish cinema: Suzan Avcı, Önder Somer, Mürüvvet Sim, Handan Adalı, Cevat Kurtuluş, Nubar Terziyan, Osman Alyanak, and Münir Özkul.
The film is named after the character Emine who desperately and hysterically adopts a black stone in place of her baby Ayşe, when she is unexpectedly told about her death.
The drama becomes an exciting study of fate and motherly-love with alternating scenes of loss and hope, of sorrow and joy, as the audience knows from the very beginning that Ayşe is actually alive.
