Dilruba meets a strange saint named Keşşaf who wants her to photograph the sky in her heart. But before that, the young girl leads to different and fantastic worlds: The World of Hearing, The World of Seeing and The World of Scents.

The Saint Keşşaf seeks to help Dilruba reinvent herself and tells her about senses. When she comes to the World of Scents, Dilruba and Tuğrul meet and she begins to feel his smell everywhere, at every time. Before taking a photograph of her celestial kingdom, she gets closer to the secret of smell.

Dilruba is a university student living a lonely life on campus. She has a dream to change her entire life. Only a few days after seeing that dream, she meets a mysterious woman whose name is Safran. Dilruba begins to experience mystical and fantastic journeys when she is nearby Safran. In these mystical journeys, she meets a horse cavalier, a man whose name is Keşşaf. Dilruba's campus life goes or as usual, but anytime she goes to Safran, she experiences different worlds altogether.

First of all, the horse cavaller takes Dilruba to a universe called Cabülka. And then, he takes her into the amazing world, called the World of Hearing. In here, Dilruba learns to hear everything with her heart at first. After a few days, the horse cavalier takes herself in a giant palace, where there are exceptional colours. Here is the World of Seeing. In here, Dilruba learns to see everything with her heart. In the World of Seeing, the Saint Keşşaf tells her about the magical world of photographs and gives her a very important task: "You will take a photograph of the sky in your heart!"
