Stoneis the latest feature by Orhan Eskiköy, whose films won many awards at various festivals in recent years, including On the Way to School and Voice of my Father. Ekber finds a young man lying unconscious at their doorstep and takes him in. His wife Emete, who obviously does not get along well with her husband, is convinced that this man who has appeared at their door is Hasan, their long-lost son, and cannot bear anyone to doubt it. After lying unconscious in their home for a length of time, the man wakes up and introduces himself as Selim. At the same time, a man who wanders around the village and introduces himself as Memur (Officer) is after Selim and threatens that if they do not hand Selim over to him he will take away all the stones, which have a special meaning for everyone in the village.
