Three Russian sisters work in a tavern in Kars, a city in the east of Turkiye. Two brothers who live in the same city go to that tavern. Elder of the brothers who is married works as a railway worker; controls rails and allows/stoppes trains to pass. The younger brother is an aggressive man who often causes trouble, he marries a local girl, but he doesnt give up night life. The elder brother falls in love with the youngest of the Russian sisters (Irina) and this situation changes their lives. Focusing on the problems of Turkish uneducated men and hard lives of prostitutes, the film takes its name from the freezing cold of Kars as "Soguk" means "cold" in Turkish.
