 Jeylan s invited to a birthday party. She wants to look good, so she borrows her mother s necklace without permission. That day Atije s and her mother Nerjus are scheduled to clean at Jeylan s. After Jeylan s mother (Leyla), returns and pays Nerjus for her work, she notices the necklace is missing. Leyla rushes after Nerjuz, and in front of all the tenants, angrily accuses her of stealing the necklace. Nerjus, hurt and humiliated, finds herself in a no-win situation. Since no one trusts Roma people she is unable to prove that she is not a thief and, even though she is innocent, Nerjus decides to replace the necklace by selling the family earrings. Meanwhile, Beni calls Jeylan, who leaves the party and goes home to tell her mother what actually happened, but she is dissuaded by her mother s anger. Karmen "threshes" Jeylan to Atije s courtyard where she arrives in time to stop Jeylan from selling her earrings. Jeylan tells Atije and Nerjuz the truth, and accompanies them back to her mother, but Leyla feels humiliated that she was wrong and a Roma cleaning woman was right. Atije and Jeylan reconcile as friends, but the future is unknown for the two mothers.
