In Istanbul, Sofia is a lonely girl who dreams of climbing rainbows. She spends long hours on her terrace overlooking the waters of the Golden Horn waiting for a rainbow to approach. She befriends Incir (In-jir), a stray kitten who eats figs and is afraid of heights. Sofia mocks Incir for his oddities and bullies him when he refuses to spend time on the terrace with her. When she finally climbs her rainbow and the rainbow begins to thin out, it is Incir who, despite his fear of heights, runs up the rainbow and leads Sofia to safety. Sofia learns the importance of tolerance and respect for diversity.
