A local gangster operates his business from a favourite table in the café of his choice. Somebody sits in his seat, and this changes everything about his day. The local bakery holds the secrets of why a child from long ago visits the Turkish Baker. A boy impresses a girl with his knowledge of the sun, but wins her love with jellybeans.
