Kadir and his father run the smallest rug shop in their town in Turkey. The only thing keeping their shop in business is a mysterious rug maker known only as the Weaver, who provides them with the most beautiful Turkish rugs anyone has ever seen. People are wanting to know more about the Weaver and how he crafts such amazing rugs. It’s up to Kadir and his father to keep the secret.
It’s been two weeks since the Weaver delivered a rug to Kadir’s father, and everyone is getting worried. Kadir tries to find the Weaver so he can explain why the Weaver did not get his money the last time. Meanwhile Kadir’s father decides to go deep undercover to expose Mr. Ozturk for selling fake rugs.
Having been lifted into the sky by a giant bird, Kadir is taken to an unusual house and meets some extraordinary people. But will he ever find the Weaver? Meanwhile Kadir’s mother has heard what happened to her son, but she still needs a bit of convincing before she actually believes it’s true.
Kadir trains with the Weaver and the Magician to prepare for his fateful dive to the bottom of the Black Sea and save Turkey from disaster. Meanwhile, Kadir’s father’s shop is in trouble and the deceitful Ozturk has declared himself the only rug seller in town.
