== Plot ==
A [petty](/source/Misdemeanor) criminal is released from prison and marries his girlfriend. He manages to live a life free from crime, poor but happy, until his new wife commits [adultery](/source/adultery), which leads him to murder her and her lover. He then escapes into the mountains and evades justice for years.

''Kuduz'' takes place in the grim social setting of city outskirts. Badema, a seductive local girl, meets Bećir Kuduz who has just come out of prison. Neither the age difference nor the fact that Badema has a little girl of her own (without knowing who the father is) stops them from coming together, each with plans of their own. Kuduz dreams of starting up his own construction business, and Badema wants to work in a local cafe. 

Badema seems light-hearted and is no homebody. Kuduz, meanwhile, is plagued by tragedy, torn by love, passion and jealousy. The two squabble and make up, then fight and split up only to return, and so the story unfolds until it reaches its tragic end. Behind this tragedy lies the love of two people who find each other: Kuduz and Badema's 5-year-old daughter Amela.
