Ali is 10. He is the youngest member of a family from Silifke, living under the shadow of a stern father. Through the summer, he has to finish the summer book he is assigned from school, earn his own pocket money selling gums and defend himself against the bullies from his class. His father unexpectedly goes into a coma and his uncle, who has always been a stranger to the family, returns to resolve their problems. Summer Book, looking closely to a family drama from the eyes of a boy,is the debut film of Seyfi Teoman. Teoman was among the talented directors of New Turkish Cinema but unfortunately was deceased all-too-soon in his young age.

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
