[person, in Turkish] You see, Kalender.

You're a local. We like you.

But unfortunately, it didn't work out.

You know,
your father was the owner of the shop.

But when he died,
you mortgaged it and then you lost it.

There were debts. I had to.

And you don't have
any securities registered in your name,

so the loan is denied.

Yeah, bad luck.

You've had your tea.

It's good tea.

Yes, it is.

You drank it.

Shall I go?

There's no tea left.

Then have a good day.

What's this?

Pita. I brought it for you.

Oh, thank you.

It's good with tea.

Enjoy it.

[signal alerting]

[announcer] Attention.

One of the most beloved members
of our city,

Sezgin Yöre, has passed away.
May God have mercy on him.

BREAD AND BAKER ASSOCIATION

His funeral will take place
at the municipal cemetery

following the afternoon prayer.

Oh.

Where are you going, Kalender?

[Kalender] Oh, God.

Did you hear, Mehmet Abi?

Oh…

KALENDER
PITA HALL

Oh, God. Yeah.

Hello.

Dad, where have you been?

I've just finished my business.

- Have you heard the announcement?
- No, I haven't.

[sighs] Sezgin is dead.

Oh. May God have mercy on him.

Amen. Has anyone called?

No. Why would they call?

I want to know if they ordered pita
for the funeral, baby.

- Ah. No, Dad, no one called.
- [scoffs]

Sezgin had
a very wide circle of acquaintances.

Where's the new guy?

He quit, Dad. He texted me this morning.

- Another one?
- Well, Dad, we demand too much.

What do we demand, baby?

He has to work in the kitchen
and wait tables,

and he has to mop the floors and so on.

You know, back in the day,
we even used to wash the carpets.

[chuckles] I used to trim
my grandpa's nails.

Once, I trimmed them so short, he couldn't
shape pita dough for two weeks.

Oh, Dad. Shut up for God's sake.
It's disgusting.

- Hello.
- Hello. [chuckles]

I'm here to order pita
for Sezgin's funeral.

Really?

What is it?

I guess you're glad he's dead.

[stammers] No, of course not.

He was so young.

Ninety-seven years old.

Really?

He looked 91 at most.

He was so healthy.

He was sick for 24 years.

That formidable man…

Weighed merely 36 kilos in his last days.

He looked healthy to me,
I'm not gonna lie.

Let's just say, may God have mercy on him.

How much pita bread are we talking?

PITA HALL

[customer] Thank you, Chef. Bye.

Come again. Let's keep in touch.

My aunt is not well these days.

Dad, what are you saying?

I didn't mean anything bad.

Hello, Cevdet. Where are you coming from?

Chef, uh, there's a new place
called Pidburger.

We were just there for the opening.

What's a pidburger?

Dad, it's a pita and a hamburger.

They've opened a lot of places
in Istanbul. And they came here too.

Uncle Kalender, it's so good.

My dad even says,
"Skinny Ass is ruined now."

Son.

Who's Skinny Ass?

Who's Skinny Ass?

Skinny Ass.

Is that what you guys call me?
How many years has it been?

Well, eight or nine years, Chef.

Did you know about this?

- I'll check on the customer, Dad.
- Excuse us, Chef.

May God give you plenty of profit.

Go on, Son.

How would you hide something like this
from your father?

NO
DELIVERIES

And it's not skinny. Not at all.

Pidburger!

- [♪ festive music playing]
- [people clamoring, cheering]

[Kalender] What's going on?

♪ Pidburger ♪

♪ New taste is here ♪

♪ Pita is old news
This is the future ♪

♪ Pidburger ♪

♪ Two tastes in one ♪

♪ Put your hands up
Iznik won't stop ♪

Come again. Come again.

Put ketchup and mayonnaise in these.
Okay? All of them.

Sorry, brother. Brother, watch out.

Whoa!

Brother Kalender. My brother. [laughs]

Don't you remember me?

I don't.

I'm Sermet.

We grew up together in this neighborhood.
Neriman's son.

I don't recognize you.

My mom was a teacher.

My father was a body shop owner. Hilmi.

Doesn't ring a bell.

I had a sister, Gülnaz.

Virgo sign.

I remembered those two,
"Virgo" and "sign."

[chuckles] My sister's sign was Virgo.

I don't know anything about Virgo.
I'm sorry, I don't recognize you.

The boss said we should open a branch.

I said if we were going to open a new
branch, let's open it in my hometown.

And thankfully he didn't refuse.

[breathes deeply]

Is there anything like home?

Good luck.

[Sermet] Thank you.

I have a shop over there.
Kalender Pita Hall.

Don't I know it, Kalender.
Don't I know it?

You've forgotten all about me.

How's the place?

The place is a paradise.

Your place is paradise.

Kalender, you don't remember me.

Wait!

Yet I'm gonna…

Put it in…

No, thanks. I'm fine.

Kalender, I'll throw it down.

I'll stomp on it and both of us
will be smote. You'll be the one to blame.

- I don't want it.
- I'll throw it down.

- I don't want it.
- I'm telling you, we'll be smote.

- Bro--
- I'll throw it down.

- Okay, give it to me.
- That's it.

Goodbye.

Thank you.

That's enough. Drop it.

Dad, this is delicious.
I didn't expect it to be this good.

Here, you try one too.

I don't want to.

How many would you eat a week?

One, maybe two.

Two?

Or one.

One?

Once a month.

- Have you seen the shop?
- I saw it this morning.

It's like a wedding hall, full of colors.

They don't have any flavor
so they have to do that to compensate.

You're right, Dad.

There are more waiters than customers.

This town is too small
for a place like this.

They'll be finished in a month.
Just watch, they'll be finished.

I'll definitely recommend it to everyone.

This is great!
I'll definitely recommend it to everyone.

1 MONTH LATER

They're not finished.

I am surprised. It's incredible.

Welcome, Mesude.

Thank you.

Welcome, Ms. Mesude.

Thank you. I brought the ingredients.

You always bring your own ingredients.
What don't you like about mine?

It's not that. What's not to like?

It's how my mom wants it done.

What should I do for you?

Whatever you want.

I mean with the ingredients. You want pita
or lahmacun? Or something else?

Oh, I'll leave it to you.

Uh…

There will be around ten or 15 guests
this evening.

A suitor is coming to see me.

Is that so? I wish you all the best.

What shall I say?

To whom?

To the suitor.

Should I say yes or no?

It's up to you, my dear.
What business is it of mine?

My dear? [gasps]

Then I'll say no.

I'll pick it up around 7:00.
Keep up the good work.

Oh, my God. Is she crazy or what?
What's this?

Look, baby.

Do they accept ingredients
at Pidburger? Huh?

Do you really think
she's worried about the pita?

Don't be silly. That's not the point.

What was I saying?

They won't accept this, but we do.

I resent our people.

They didn't appreciate us.

But they will return.

Just watch, they'll be back.

Dad, for God's sake, not a single person
has entered the shop since morning.

- God!
- [shouts]

Dad.

- Son. My child.
- [coughs, groans]

[Kalender] Brother.

Huh? Brother.

- Are you okay? Here.
- [Kalender] Look at me.

- I'm fine. I'm fine, I'm fine.
- Get up. Get up and take a breath.

What the hell did you do? Huh?

- Ouch. Ouch.
- [groaning continues]

Get up. Are you okay, son?

- I'm fine. I'm fine. Oh.
- Oh. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Look at this place.

Kid. Oh!

- What happened to your face? Ow, ow, ow.
- [gasps]

- What? What's wrong with my face?
- May God bless you.

Oh!

I'm fine. Normal.

This is how you look?

Yes.

Oh.

Uh, what's your name?

- I'm Öcü.
- What's Öcü?

[groans] It's actually Önder Cüneyt,
but they call me Öcü.

Oh.

I'm really sorry.

If we can't deliver the order
in 15 minutes,

they take it out of our paychecks.

In my haste,
I stepped on the gas and lost control.

[groans]

What time is it?

I have seven minutes left.

Where are you going?

Let me deliver the order.
I promise I'll pay for the damage.

But she's right. We can't just let you go.

Sir, I've been late two times already.

They'll fire me for sure
if I deliver it late again.

Then I won't be able to pay anything.

[groans]

- Just a second. Here, I'll give you my ID.
- No.

I have five and a half minutes left.

- Dad, let's call the police.
- Please, I'm begging you.

- Dad!
- They'll really fire me.

- For your daughter's sake.
- What do you care about my sake?

All right, go.

- Thank you. [panting]
- Dad!

But… Listen!

[groans]

- Listen.
- Huh.

You know what happens
if you don't come back, right?

What will happen?

It will be a shame.

Thank you. God bless you.

I promise I'll pay.
Okay, I'll take care of it.

- Okay, you just… Put on… Yeah.
- It's fine.

I am all fine.

- Drive carefully. Don't crash.
- Three and a half minutes.

Three and a half…

God bless you. Look, it works.

- Dad, what are you doing?
- [Öcü] It works! It does!

The fear is enough for him. Don't worry.

Oh, my brother!

Oh! I hope you're well.

I'm sorry.

I was trying to deliver the order.

- That's what happened.
- Oh, my dear brother!

I'm so sorry for you.

Of course, the order was delayed.
Three minutes.

- Five.
- I swear it is three minutes.

Three or five, who cares?
Don't worry about it.

Thank you very much, boss.

In my haste,
I crashed through the shop window.

The place is in ruins. A lot of expense.

Oh!

Can I get an advance, please?

Of course you can.
Won't you, dear brother?

Boss.

You really are a king.

You really are. When can I get it?

Never.

- Why not?
- You're fired.

Fired?

Your words gave me hope. You laughed.

You were sweet.

That's my style, dear brother.

Well, I've worked for almost a month.
Give me my salary.

The contract you signed says that
the first month is a free trial.

What am I, a VPN? What free trial?

At least you tried it.
You won't have regrets, you know.

You won't keep wondering,

"How would my life be different if I had
become a delivery boy at that shop?"

Are you kidding me?

Give me my money, boss.

Don't yell at me!

Don't yell at me!

We're having a civil conversation here.
Don't get on my nerves. Get lost!

[groans] What are you doing?

No one can take away my rights.

Get him.

Meatball, don't come at me.
You're my roommate.

Hey! Hey!

TAEKWONDO COMPETITION
1ST PLACE IN TURKEY

[♪ piano music playing on TV]

Ah… [sighs]

[actor, Kalender] It was so beautiful.
Why did you stop?

[actor 2, Kalender] Because that's all.

I need that warm glow in your eyes
to write the rest.

Welcome home, dear wife.

To our happiness.

[actor 1] Well, Haldun…

DADDY, REMEMBER YOU PROMISED
TO SMOKE ONCE A DAY :)

Hey! Why are you snooping around the shop?

No, man. No way!

Cücü?

Not Cücü. It's Öcü.

So it's fixed now?

It is.

What are you doing here?

I got fired.

I came here to say that I will find
a new job, and I'll pay you back.

At 3:00 in the morning?

I thought I'd come early.

Where are you staying?

The office had arranged a place.
We were staying there.

When I got fired, they kicked me out.

Don't you have anyone here?

No.

Tell me exactly what happened.

The boss fired me unfairly.

And things got heated.

Meatball and Lettuce came at me.

"Yo, Meatball, you were my roommate.
What a shame."

I gave Meatball a little push.

I grabbed Lettuce by the hair.
I pushed him away.

I saw the Pita coming.

You don't hit the bread, it's a sin.

I held Pita and kissed it three times.
I was going to put it somewhere high.

Lettuce and Meatball squeezed me
between them.

Everyone in the street was watching.

They beat me up.

[sobbing]

Lettuce hits hard.

Wait for me. I'm coming down.

Excuse me?

I'm coming down. Wait for me, okay?

Come here.

Come in, son.

- Go in.
- Thanks.

I promise I'll work for free
for two or three months if necessary.

And I will pay my debt to you.

We'll take care of that, son.

Now you can stay here
until you find a place.

It's not much, but you'll manage.

Why wouldn't it be great?

Look, there's a nice bed.

Dude. Man.

Are you okay? Look out.

- I'm sorry. I sat right in the middle.
- Here.

I'm sorry.

Sir, God bless you.

In this day and age, it's hard
to let a stranger into a shop like this.

No, it's okay.

It's not okay.

What if I'm a pervert?

What if I'm a thief?

What if I'm a murderer?
How would you know?

I am an artisan of many years.
I'm a good judge of people.

I can tell what a person is like
by looking at their face.

You're simply naive.

Okay, I'm naive.
But these are not the times.

- It's not.
- Huh?

How do you know who's who?

You don't.

For example, if I cut your throat here.

- What will you do?
- Nothing.

In the middle of the night.

- Yes.
- It's quiet.

- Quiet. Uh-huh.
- Huh?

Can anyone hear you if you shout?

- It's impossible.
- Isn't it?

- Yes.
- They won't.

I've cornered you like this.

- Like this.
- Exactly like this.

- Right? Huh?
- Yes. Yes.

If I grab your arm like this.

[mutters]

Ah! [coughs]

What are you doing? I was demonstrating.

Are you mad? What were you trying to do?
I lost it.

I'm sorry.

You did me such a big favor,
and I got carried away for a moment.

Don't be silly. Go to bed.

Sweet dreams.

[Kalender] All right.

Have a good day, Cevdet.

- Thanks, Chef.
- Good morning, Chef.

- Thank you, thank you.
- Dad.

- Huh?
- Can we have a word or two?

Tell me, dear.

Did you really hire him?

Baby, he was at the door at 3:00 a.m.
He was looking up at me so innocently.

What was I supposed to do?

Dad, what if he's a thief?

What if he's a psychopath?
What if he's a murderer?

I didn't want to interfere,
but if I were like that for example…

Shut up! Don't ever give an example.

Yes, Chef.

Baby, this child is naive, believe me.

He was at the door last night, crying.

Those Meatball and Lettuce have
given him a good beating.

Let's give him a chance.
He has nowhere to go.

Lettuce hits hard, he says.

We'll give him a chance
just because Lettuce hits hard.

Good girl. Let's go out.

Daddy!

We're not going to leave him in the shop,
are we?

Okay, he'll come with us.
Cevdet will take care of the shop.

You put those boxes
in the back of the car.

Cevdet, the shop is in your care.

- Chef.
- Huh?

When will I get the payment for the glass?

- Come in March.
- March?

Yeah.

But it's October.

Hey, Kalender.
Don't do this, for God's sake.

Should I lie, Cevdet? Should I tell you
to come get it tomorrow?

You haven't settled your previous debt.

Okay. I'm expecting some money
from somewhere. I'll take care of it.

From where?

Yes.

- [Cevdet] Yes?
- Come, baby.

- [Cevdet] From where?
- [Öcü] One second.

I don't know either. Have a nice day.

Thank you.

You get in.

Here we go. Come here.

- What are we going to do?
- Push. Lift.

- Push it?
- Push, push, push.

[grunting]

Stop. Push.

[grunting continues]

One last time. Okay, okay.

Here we go.

[sighs]

Give me the spoon.

Give me the latch.

[sighs] The strap.

Oh.

Chef.

You're sure this is your car, right?

No, it's Levent's.

- Ooh.
- Here we go.

Kalender.

Since you're borrowing the car,
keep it clean.

When we get out of this car,
it's us who needs washing.

I've even been to the hammam!

Don't exaggerate, guys.

This car is so clean,
they point at it and say it's spotless!

Levent, please! Please!

All right, let's go. Give me a hand!

Good. Yes.

There's a gearbox in the back, Chef.

It's usually in the back.

We miss you so much.

SENGÜL GÖLLÜCELI
REST IN PEACE

You know that, don't you?

We're fine, though, don't worry. I mean,
we're as good as we can be without you.

- I'm sorry for your loss.
- Thank you.

Mommy.

You know I'm not very good on the phone.

But just so you know,

every time I get out of the bath
and comb my hair,

I feel your fingers in my hair.

No.

I can't talk, I'm giving it to my father.

Dad, you talk.

Do you remember? We used
to look at pictures of otters together.

They slept hand in hand like us.

Do you know what this hand had
to go through without you?

Chef.

Don't take this the wrong way,
but what in God's name is Sokomav?

Couldn't you make halva?

Couldn't you make lokma?

We could at least hand over pita.

The deceased loved that a lot.

That's why we hand it to people
every year.

Dad, do you remember?

Once we gave everyone cheese chips.

[sighs] She loved those too. Oh, darling.

Mommy, we're fine.

Everything's going fine.

The shop's a bit troubled these days.

There's a new shop downtown.

Our business wasn't doing well.
And it got worse.

Why are you telling her negative things?
You'll upset her.

Don't worry, darling.
I'll take care of everything.

Sleep in the light.

By the way,
there's been a hike in electricity…

Anyway.

Look, this is our new guy, Öcü.

Dad, don't introduce him to Mom.

What's the big deal? Let her meet him.

Mrs. Sengül, hello. I'm Öcü.

I've just started work.

I've known Chef Kalender for a day,
but it's like I've always known him.

Uh… A person who always stands up to life.

Of course, your absence has
a lot to do with that.

Now I'll tell you something
to lighten the mood.

Temel went to the cemetery one day--

What are you talking about?

To change the mood.

- It's changed.
- [grunts]

- Let's go.
- Okay.

See you, Mrs. Sengül.

- Sokomav?
- Give me one.

[sighs]

Bye. I'll come back again. Okay?

But you're hot as always,
I swear. [chuckles]

My dear.

Bye.

Oh.

Shall I put the song on?

Dad, let's not.

I already can't stop crying.

If I hear the song…

Your mother's favorite song, baby.

Okay, we're sad. But shouldn't we
commemorate her like this?

Dad.

Chef.

It's not my place, but can we not play it?

I can't stand sad songs.

I'm a Pisces. I'm very emotional.

You stay out of this.

Give me the tape.

- Daddy.
- Can you please give me the tape?

Give me the hairpin.

[daughter sighs]

[♪ "Ölürüm Sana" playing on radio]

[sniffles]

[sobs]

[sobs]

- [grunts]
- Come on. Push a little more.

[Kalender] Okay, it's in the place.

Hello.

Hello, Mr. Uysal.

- Mr. Uysal is our landlord.
- Oh.

I'm Öcü.

Uncle Uysal, what's up with the flowers?

Well, you see, when we marry a young lady,
we have to make such surprises.

You know that new shop downtown?

It was left from the opening of that shop.

I didn't want it to go to waste,
so I thought I'd take it to her.

But let me take the card
so your lady won't feel bad.

"Ponçik Autogas Systems,
Cenker Ponçik, Nuri Ponçik…"

Give me that. [scoffs]

Let's have a drink in the shop.

Oh, I almost forgot.

- It's the little things…
- Yes.

…you don't remember them.

I've put the shop up for sale, Kalender.

You put it up for sale?

Kalender, you're already
three months behind on the rent.

Either pay the annual rent
or buy the shop.

I have a lot of expenses.

My lady is young, Kalender. Understand me.

But now…

My lady says, "Enough is enough.

How much more are you going to work
at your age?

You're tired of calculating CPI
and PPI every day.

Sell everything and let's
travel the world, my CPI."

Does she call you CPI?

Of course. She's saved
as my PPI on my phone.

True love. I'm gonna cry.

Kalender, I'll give you three months.

Don't get me wrong, you have the priority.

My heart is already in favor of you
buying this shop.

What if I can't?

Oh, look.

A bird shit on your shoulder, see?

You're in luck, Kalender.

You're going to buy this shop. Just watch.

God willing.

[Kalender] Ah. He shit on you too.

It is normal.

My PPI must have gone up.
I won't keep her waiting. Bye.

But, Chef, it is a big load of shit.

- What should we do now?
- Don't worry.

Is it that easy to evict a tenant?

The new owner can evict us
if he gives us a notice within a month.

Oh.

- We'll sue the new owner, Dad.
- Yes!

It's not going to happen, baby.
Why should we sue anyone?

If we don't get the shop,
we'll leave like gentlemen.

Don't worry, Chef.
That shop will be bought.

We can make great plans. Follow me.

Come on.

Kalender Chef! The job is done.
It is 14,200 with the old debt.

We're coming, Öcü.

Follow me.

[metal squeaking rhythmically]

Kid, stop this nonsense. Come on.

Chef, I repeat. Movement opens the mind.

Is this the opened version?

Dad, why did we follow him like idiots?
Let's go back to the shop.

Cevdet's work is done.
He must have gone by now.

Chef, come and try it.
You'll see the benefit. Come.

[chattering]

Oh, I know. Internet.

- It's already available.
- Not that. Social media.

Dad, what are you doing?

Maybe it'll help us.

I'm going to the shop.

We'll upload attention-grabbing videos
to the shop's social media.

That's what everyone is doing now.

Don't you see?

All those meat shops, mussel shops,
rice shops have become popular.

I can't do that. It doesn't suit me.

Let's say we shoot the video.
Where will we share it?

Doesn't the shop have social media?

Dad doesn't even want to do food delivery.
What social media?

What?

Chef, what's the big deal
with food delivery?

We'll fix my bike and do it.
It has a tiny fault.

- Tiny?
- Yes.

This place is already tiny.

Everyone knows everyone here.

What am I going to do,
deliver pita to everyone's house?

Right. I have nothing else to do,
and I'll deliver pita to the children.

No way.

[exhaling sharply]

KALENDER - PITA HALL
FOOD DELIVERY IS AVAILABLE

They made nice stickers.

If you embarrass me,
I swear I'll fire you, okay?

We're going to deliver together this week,
and I'll leave it to you next week.

You don't need to bother. I can handle it.

Let's go, and let's get back in touch

- with the customers.
- Yeah.

Find out what their problems are, right?
Maybe we're making mistakes. Here.

What is that?

Don't you want us to advertise?

[gasps]

Chef, how long have you been off the bike?

A long time.

[breathes heavily]

You have five pita and five ayran.
Here's the address.

- Okay.
- Oh, thanks.

- Give it to me. It'll get cold in there.
- In the back… Fine.

[sighs]

I feel something warm.
I hope it's the pita.

I hope so.

- Are you ready, Chef?
- I'm ready.

Let's go.

[echoing] Kalender Pita Hall
is at your doorstep.

We're here to explain pita with the pita.

Give me that for God's sake.
We need to say something more remarkable.

[echoing] Now see Chef Kalender's package.

Chef Kalender's package is bigger
than before, tastier than before.

Chef Kalender's package.
Chef Kalender's package.

- Oh!
- Don't be silly. Give it to me.

Do this properly.

[singing] ♪ Chef Kalender is coming
He gives his pita ♪

♪ When people see it, they gorge it all ♪

♪ Take this, won't you?
You love the package ♪

♪ Hey, hey, hey ♪

[both] ♪ Take this, won't you?
You love the package ♪

- Watch where you're going. Watch it!
- Shit!

- [laughs]
- We'll die!

[Öcü] I could have delivered it.

That's why I don't do delivery.
This is cold. I can't deliver this.

What's wrong with it?
It's good. It's so crispy.

It shouldn't be crispy.
My pita has to be crunchy.

What's the difference between crunchy
and crispy? Let's just deliver it.

What if someone comes tomorrow and says,
"Chef, this pita is not crunchy at all…"

[♪ romantic music playing]

Gülsen.

Kalender.

[♪ romantic music continues on phone]

Excuse me, Chef, they're calling to order.

[♪ music stops]

Öcü, you deliver the pitas.

Okay.

Then go to the shop.

- Uh-huh.
- [mumbling] Don't say anything to Filiz.

I don't understand, Chef.

[mumbling] Don't say anything to Filiz.

I don't understand.

[echoing] Don't say anything to Filiz.

[echoing] I understand, Chef.

I was surprised to see you.

And I was surprised to see
that you came back.

You live in Istanbul.

You got married.

You are very happy.

Are you stalking me?

I would never do that to a woman.
It's not like me.

What do you think stalking means?

- It's like groping, isn't it?
- [chuckles] Don't be ridiculous.

Some kind of investigating.

Oh. No, I wouldn't call it investigating.
More like, I hear things.

You heard half the story.
I'm divorced. It didn't work.

What can I get you to drink?

I'll have a coffee with milk.
But no lactose.

And you?

Uh, I'll have tea. No glucose.

You haven't changed at all.

[chuckles] Thank you.

No, I didn't mean it in a good way.

What do you mean?

You're still wearing the same shirt
you were wearing when I left you.

No, this is new.

And I remember your pants.

You wore them
to your grandmother's funeral.

It was a gift from her. She told me
to wear them until they are worn out.

And you did. She can rest in peace.

Oh, okay.

And the shoes were my aunt's.

Your aunt's?

She was a big person.

She and her husband shared clothes.

You were always like this, Kalender.

Someone who can't let go of his past,

who can't live his own life,
who hates taking risks.

That's why I left you.

I thought you'd changed a little,
but you haven't changed at all.

Never mind.

Please, please don't stop talking.
Keep talking, Sengül… Gülsen.

Your late wife's name is Sengül.

My name is Gülsen.

You didn't even take a risk there.

Instead of changing wives,
you changed syllables.

Yesterday was her death anniversary.

Again, I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

You named your daughter Filiz.

So you're still in love with Filiz Akin.

Let's call it our love.

We were both in love with Filiz Akin.

If we had a daughter, we even…

- Shall we go?
- Let's go.

We've started food delivery.
They'll expect me at the shop.

- I bought a kettle. I have to hurry home.
- Yeah, right away.

Well then, take care of yourself.

[chuckles]

- Well…
- Huh!

- How? Like this.
- Well…

Okay.

[♪ "Binboganin Kizi" playing]

[♪ music fades out]

I'll be there tonight, don't worry.

Bring everyone to the table.

Let's talk to the boss first. Okay?

What is she cooking up?

Öcü. When is my dad coming?

The conversation must have gotten long.

I know my dad.

He's very upset about this shop.
He is trying to clear his head.

How are we going to buy this shop
by delivering food?

We need a miracle.

Don't think like that. We'll find a way
out of this somehow…

[bells tinkling]

Welcome, Chef.

I'm not welcome.

We are rushing everything.

Why are you confusing me
with this food delivery thing?

Dad, why are you saying that?
He's saying it for our sake.

Oh, we're already defending the gentleman.

You told her everything, didn't you?
Of course you did. Why won't you?

Tell-Tell me what?

You can drop the act now.
You know I saw Gülsen.

Gülsen?

You mean your first love, Gülsen?

The woman Mom told me about.

Shame on you, Dad.

Yesterday was
the anniversary of Mom's death.

It's a shame. Really.

You didn't say anything, did you?

No.

Oh, you! What's the point
of being such a good person?

We just met yesterday.
Why are you so honest?

- What do you mean?
- You should have snitched.

She would have prepared herself,
had time to fume and get over her anger.

Damn you and your ways.

Actually, I thought for a moment,
maybe I should tell her, but--

Come on, you can't be a jackass.

You know how to crash into my shop,
but not into my conversation?

[knocking]

[laughs]

- [bells tinkling]
- Have a nice day.

- I wish you the best in your business.
- Thank you.

And you still don't remember me?

What are you doing here?

- How do you talk to a guest?
- But, Chef, you…

I don't want to hear it again.

Okay.

- Good luck to you too, brother.
- [grunts]

Kalender, I heard something today.

They've put this shop up for sale.

Mr. Uysal has given you three months.

So?

What about this?

There's no need to wait three months.
You don't have any customers.

It's very difficult
for you to buy this place.

My branch is booming.
I need a second branch.

I'll buy this place.
And you take over as chef.

What do you say?

So you'll buy this place,
and you're going to buy us too?

Wait a minute, you…

Or you come too.

Yeah, you come too.

If we need a pita shovel
or something, you can serve.

- [Sermet laughs]
- Do you hear that, Chef?

Okay, just leave this to me.

Look, brother. Don't bother me.

I'll speak so harshly
you won't be able to handle it.

Speak up. Let's hear it. Say it. Say it.

- I'll say it. I will…
- Say it, Chef. Say it. Say it.

- So, here it comes.
- Let's just let it go.

- I'm saying it then.
- Say it.

I'm saying it.

- Get out!
- Excuse me?

Get out!

Get out?

Okay. All right. All right. [scoffs]

[huffs]

Well, Chef, you spoke too harshly.

He won't recover for two days.
At least two days.

Five days. He won't recover for five days.

[inhales sharply]
No sleep for him tonight.

I'm trembling.

He made you talk harsh.

He made me talk dirty. That's it.
He made me talk dirty.

You see? I'm trembling.

Where are you going? It's bedtime.

Dad, it's only eight o'clock.

Weren't you sleeping at this time?

Yes, I was. When I was three.

All right. Drink the milk.

You know you gave a whole generation
acid reflux, don't you, Dad?

Can I talk to you for a second?

I'm listening, Dad.

[breathes deeply]

I understand you're angry with me.
You're right, and I apologize.

But I swear, nothing's going on.

We just had a chat
as old acquaintances, that's all.

With your first love.

But you're so obsessed with small details.

Dad. Yesterday was the anniversary
of Mom's death.

Do you think what you're doing is right?

Baby, I didn't arrange this to happen.
We met after so many years.

Nothing's going to happen anyway.
But you're right, I'm sorry.

[sighs]

Dad, I understand you.

And you are right.

For years you've devoted yourself
to me, to the shop.

You sacrificed yourself for us.

But try to understand me too.

This situation is more difficult
than I can accept.

You're right.

But like I said, there's nothing going on.

We just got a date for Monday.

What date?

- The day for the wedding. [chuckles]
- Dad! [laughs]

I have a question.
What will you be wearing?

When?

- At the wedding. [laughs]
- Dad, don't be ridiculous. [laughs]

[sighs sharply] My darling daughter.
I love you so much.

I love you too, Daddy.

I'll get married on Monday,
and you'll see.

God forbid.

What? You don't laugh at jokes.

Heaven forbid!

Oh! Dad!

- Don't. Don't.
- Dad, you overdid it! That's enough.

- [Kalender] Don't you dare.
- Dad!

I swear I'm going to kill this guy.
He's doing wrong no matter what I say.

Killing and such. Is she a psychopath?

Chef.

You scared the shit out of me.

I'm sorry. What's up?

I felt cooped up in the house tonight.

Oh! Come on. Sit down.

I will.

[sighs]

I'm sorry for today.
I was too hard on you.

No, of course not.

How did it go with Filiz?

We've almost recovered.
Nothing will come of it, anyway.

Tea?

You offer me leftovers?

No. You want me to pour some for you?

Enjoy yours.

May I ask, how long has it been
since your wife passed away?

It was the tenth anniversary yesterday.

What do you miss the most?

I'll keep that to myself.

I'm sorry.

There was a time when my hair started
from here, from the eyebrow.

[chuckles]

Now look how my forehead has opened up.
Ten years is not easy.

Think of it this way.

You came out of every fight
in ten years with a clear head.

- [chuckles]
- [chuckles]

You could say that. [chuckles]

Where are your parents?
What are they doing?

My parents are dead.

God rest their souls.

Amen.

I've been a one-gun man since then.

- Let me ask you something.
- Yeah.

Is this shop very important to you?

Very important.

I married Sengül in this shop.

Filiz was born in this shop.

In my father's time,
this was the most popular place.

- Oh!
- Yes,

it was packed from morning till night.

Then, my father spent
all the money at nightclubs…

[chuckles]

First we lost the shop,
then we lost my father.

He passed away.

God rest his soul.

But I had some other dreams
back in the day.

What dreams?

Forget it. The old days are gone.

I'll go prepare the dough for tomorrow.

- Let me help you, Chef.
- No, drink your tea.

Chef, over my dead body.

No. No need.

- Please. Over my dead body.
- I'm telling you there's no need.

Look, over my dead body, but you know how?

Look, I died and no one noticed,

so my corpse is swollen
and swollen and swollen. It is wormy…

Okay. I'll shut up.

Call me if you need anything.

Okay, I will.

If you don't, you'll see my dead body.
Okay, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

Oh, God. Come on, pack it up.
Don't be late. Go to bed.

Okay.

[phone rings]

Oh, God.

Incoming call - MOM

Mom Missed call

[♪ dance music plays]

[gasps, breathes heavily]

What is going on?

[sniffs, sighs]

[♪ dance music continues]

- Öcü?
- I'm coming.

[pants]

Sorry. I fell asleep.

Thank God my dad
also went somewhere early.

Oh. Thank God.

Öcü, I didn't thank you enough yesterday.

For what?

For convincing my father
to make food deliveries.

Actually, I want to give you a gift.

A gift?

I thought you might use it
on your motorcycle or something.

- It could come in handy.
- There's no need for that.

Thank you so much!

Sorry. I couldn't wrap it up as a gift.

No problem.

This was my dad's jacket,
but he never wore it.

It was actually passed down from his aunt.

Your aunt must have been something else.

If you like it,
I can put it in a bag for you.

- You can wear it.
- I like it. Of course I do!

- The price tag… [groans]
- [gasps]

Öcü! Öcü!

[people at market chattering]

I am looking for…

- Nice. How is it?
- Yes, Kalender.

Huh?

What?

This belly is awful.

Look. Like this, huh?

- Good?
- [shopkeeper] Let's take this jacket and…

- Jacket? It's this belly again.
- Sticks out.

I will… pay you next week.

- Okay, Kalender.
- All right, I'll pay you next week.

I swear. Yeah.

- Öcü! Öcü!
- Ah!

- Huh! Huh.
- [Öcü] Oh!

Oh. [breathes heavily]

Come. Come get up. Get up. Over here.

- Oh. [groans]
- Yes.

- Yeah.
- Oh. [winces]

My jaw is really sore.

I think I bit my tongue. [sighs]

When you make sudden moves like that…
I get all jumpy.

I was showing you the tag.
It came off. [inhales sharply]

Anyway, you've had a taste of my kick now.

It tastes amazing.
Just melts in the mouth.

I'll get you some water.
Is there anything else you want?

Jaw! I can't feel my jaw.

It was already forward,

but now it's shifted
like two millimeters more. [groans]

Do we have a painkiller?

I'll go buy some right now.

[Gülsen] Thank you. Have a good day.

Oh, Kalender.

It's so good to see you.
I was just about to come to the shop.

I was hard on you yesterday. I'm sorry.

No, don't think that.
I think you were right.

Look. I bought some new clothes
at the market.

[chuckles]

Looks great with your aunt's shoes.

[both laugh]

- [Mesude] Kalender.
- Oh.

Yes?

I think I'll say yes.

Whatever you say, dear.

Your call.

- I'm leaving.
- Please, please.

Who is she?

I swear she has nothing to do with me.
She's kind of crazy.

- [laughs]
- [Filiz] Dad.

Baby?

Who is this lady?

Oh, she… A tourist.

[in English] The person…
[mumbles] Called… Cinema? No?

[in Turkish] I'm Gülsen. Hi.

Hello.

And I am Filiz,

his daughter from my dear father's
late wife whom he loved very much.

I'm very pleased to meet you.

- See you.
- [in English] Goodbye.

- [in Turkish] Dad.
- [in English] What?

[in Turkish] Dad, what's going on?

Nothing's going on. We met on the way.

Why are you embarrassing me
in front of her?

Am I embarrassing you?

You, you're not ashamed
of the leek in your hand.

Are you embarrassed to talk to me?

- Really. Really.
- Is this him?

Everyone's staring at us.
Let's talk in the shop, please.

- What will we talk about in the shop?
- [in English] Please, please.

[in Turkish]
Aren't you the dancing pita man?

What dance, son?
What are you talking about?

Come on, you're him. Don't lie to me.

What kind of talk is that, you brat?

Look, you're just playing.

[♪ dance music playing on phone]

Dad.

[diners chattering]

Gülsen!

Yes?

I'm Sermet. Don't you recognize me?

We grew up together in this neighborhood.

- I'm sorry, I don't remember.
- I had a cousin, Sevval.

[mumbles]
You used to go to school together.

I remember Sevval, yes.

There was a man who used to walk past us.

He had a really big mustache,
and we laughed a lot. [laughs]

[laughs] I remember him.

I was with you that day.

No. I'm sorry.

I'm the manager here. Be my guest one day.

- Good day.
- Don't forget. I'm waiting.

- Where?
- I just told you.

I'm the manager here. Be my guest one day.

Good luck to you.

Who gave you permission?

Master, I shared it from my account.

How was I supposed to know
it would spread so quickly?

Dad, what's the big deal?

There's nothing wrong with it.
But you do have skills.

I don't have any skills.

You film me secretly and you put it on
the Internet without asking permission.

I wanted to revitalize social media…

Listen, this is
the social media of a shop.

Look. Tendon Hayri, Pixel Nazim.

Split Aysel, Couscous Sükrü,
Withholding Ayla.

You want a celebrity? We have that too.

- Who's he?
- Zombie Mehmet.

He was in The Handle of My Pistol.

He died seven times in four episodes.
Enough is enough. Goodbye, Öcü.

Are you firing me?

I'm firing you.

Okay, Chef.

[bell dings]

Kalender Chef?

Yes?

Well, I saw your video this morning.
I loved it. I said we have to go there.

Come in. Have a seat.

- Welcome, please.
- Thank you.

You see, Chef, it works.

Hello. Welcome.

Welcome. Come in, please.

Cevdet, enjoy your meal.

Thank you for your work.
It's five stars, I swear to you.

- Dad, go on. Tell him.
- Okay, son. Hold on.

- What is it?
- He wants to see that dancing of yours.

No way. Enjoy your meal.

Oh! If he wasn't going to dance,
we should've gone to Pidburger.

- Skinny Ass.
- Tayfun!

Shame on you. What's the big deal
about making a couple of moves?

What moves? Cevdet, the check.

I'm expecting some money from somewhere.
We'll take care of it when I receive it.

Cevdet!

Öcü, Öcü!

Daddy, it's the TV.

What TV, baby?
It must be a joke. Give it to me. Hello?

Yeah…

- The morning show.
- [gasps]

- Yes.
- They want a recipe for pita.

High five, Chef.

I don't know about that.
Let's hope for the best.

Let's hope for the best, yes.
Thank you, thank you.

- We're going, aren't we, Chef?
- I'm not going anywhere.

No one can take me anywhere.
I'll never be on TV, never!

What am I doing here?

- Chef. Chef, calm down.
- What?

- Okay.
- Okay?

Your ingredients for the pita are ready.

If there's an ingredient you don't know,
skip it.

- Yeah.
- And come back if you have time.

- Okay.
- Okay? No excitement.

- Okay, I'm fine.
- No excitement.

- I'm fine. It's okay.
- No excite… [grunts]

- Öcü, kid. Kid. Öcü.
- Excite…

- Look at me. You all right?
- [sniffles]

- I'm fine. I'm fine.
- Get up, get up. Up, up, up.

- I felt a little faint.
- Don't. Don't.

- I fainted for a moment. I'm fine.
- No, don't. You're fine.

Look, don't… Yes… [grunts]

- Okay.
- Chef! Chef, get up.

- I… Yeah…
- Chef. Chef, wake up.

They'll call you now.
Come on, for God's sake.

- I'm fine. You're okay, right?
- You're okay, aren't you?

- You're okay, aren't you? Huh?
- Mr. Kalender, we'll have you now.

Yes. They're calling.

- Okay, get ready.
- Okay.

Ready. No excitement. Don't get excited.
We're not excited at all.

And now in my studio,

I have a guest who has been the talk
of the town for the past few days.

- Kalender Chef, welcome.
- Thank you.

Yes, I've been talked about
a lot for a few days.

I'm very excited. Very excited.

Now you're going to give us
a great flatbread recipe.

- Yes.
- Let's get started.

- Now…
- Uh-huh.

- First we take our dough…
- Ms. Çagla, Ms. Çagla!

We don't want a flatbread recipe.
We want a dance.

- Yeah, you have some kind of dance.
- Yes, we want to dance with the dough.

[chanting] Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance!

[chanting continues]

[Öcü] You haven't spoken since Istanbul.

What am I supposed to talk to you about?
Huh? What am I going to talk to you about?

It's not enough that we've
been disgraced in our town,

now we've been disgraced
in the entire country.

We tried a few things to boost interest
in the shop.

Look what we've gotten ourselves into.

- Chef, it is a good thing to be on TV.
- Shut up! Shut up!

Now I'll ask you.
How can we face these people?

Huh? How can we?

Sokomav?

Süleyman's son was going to join the army.
This must be his crowd.

Chef, look at the banners!
Do you see them?

- Filiz is here too. Look. Filiz!
- [crowd cheering]

You were asking how
we would look people in the face.

Here, look. Here they are.

- OUR PRIDE
- LONG LIVE KALENDER CHEF

- IZNIK'S PRIDE
- PITA and DANCE

Dad!

Baby, why didn't you tell me
there was such an uproar?

- Chief made me promise.
- What chief?

- The mayor.
- [gasps]

Sir, this way, please. Come here, please.
Yes, Mr. Mayor. Here, please.

- Welcome.
- Thank you, sir.

- Welcome.
- Mr. Mayor, welcome.

Sir, what would you like to say?

Well, I'd like to say
that we are happy to see

a celebrity like Chef Kalender
coming out of our city.

Of course, this will have
positive reflections on the city tourism.

Let's applaud our chef.

Bravo.

Mr. Kalender, what would you like to say?

I don't know what to say.

But we are expecting you in our shop
as soon as possible, Mr. Mayor.

Will you go, sir?

I promise that not only me, but all my
council members will come with me.

We are expecting everyone
at Kalender Pita Hall.

Whoever you ask will show you the way.

Anyone who doesn't either doesn't like us
or is a dishonorable person. Applaud.

[mumbles] Sir,
what kind of pita do you like?

Do you have a special request
for Mr. Kalender?

Well, we will have a special request
from Mr. Kalender.

Whatever Mr. Mayor wants.

What do we want? We want a dance
from our chef. Dance! Play the band.

They are here.

- The tourists are here, Chef.
- Okay, make sure you give them turnips.

Look where I am.
Can you see behind me? Look.

Bravo.

Whoa, boom.

Careful. Look left and right.

- Hello, brother. Can you say hello?
- Hello there.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- What! What happened?
- I said no.

Oh, dear God.

- Kiss him for us.
- Kiss!

- She says kiss. Kiss…
- What?

[both] Kiss, kiss.

- Me, kiss him?
- She is telling you to kiss me.

- I kissed him.
- We kissed.

[patron] Thank you.

[patrons chanting, cheering]
Hit! Hit! Hit!

[screams] That's it!

I'm using it for the oven. It's not a toy!

Take it, baby.

CHAMPION

It's coming, it's coming.

Bring it, bring it!

Whoop. Whoops. It's not for you.

Brother Cevdet.

Film it.

- Uh-oh!
- Öcü.

Okay, okay. Here you are. Enjoy your meal!

It's hot! It's hot!

[gasps]

Chef, wow! Chocolate pita?
Chef, why don't we put this on the menu?

Pita aren't made with chocolate.

They're made with cheese or minced meat.

Would Dad ever put this on the menu?

- Right.
- Come on. One, two, three.

[cheering]

Yes. The last month has been incredible.

Kudos to all three of us.
But especially to Öcü.

I was a bit upset at first,
but we wouldn't be here today without him.

We owe you a lot.

Not at all.

I'd love to say that,
but I think you owe me a little. [laughs]

[laughing]

Are you ready for
the surprise of the night?

- [door opens]
- Yeah. Kalender.

- [Kalender] You're just in time. Come.
- [Öcü] Welcome.

- Are we ready for the surprise?
- Uh-huh.

- [gasps]
- [giggles]

- Chef, what's this?
- The key to the shop. For you.

YEDEK SPARE

Dad, did we buy the shop?

No, baby.

Look. I've never given the key
to this shop to anyone but my daughter.

But you deserve it, young man.
Are you ready for this responsibility?

- I won't cry. I won't cry.
- [laughs]

I won't cry.

Yes, yes, yes. [laughs, sighs] Oh.

Chef, there is already a key in the safe.

That's the key of the shop.
This is your key.

Thank you very much.

[inhales sharply] Let's go out.
We'll take a walk.

- Chocolate pita?
- Pitas aren't made with chocolate.

They're made with cheese or minced meat.

- Enjoy your meal.
- Good evening.

Good evening.

- You are full of great surprises.
- [Kalender] You liked it, didn't you?

[tuts] No. I… I can't accept it.

Seeing them like this brings me
back to my adolescence.

[phone ringing]

- Don't exaggerate.
- Sorry.

Hello? Look,
tonight the shit will hit the fan.

I don't care what happens to me.
I'll meet you at the square.

Öcü, I'm in a hurry.
I have to go. See you later, okay?

- Bye.
- [door opens]

What's going on?

I'm glad you told me everything
on your mind when we first met.

I don't think I would have ever gotten
into this social media thing without you.

Look, Kalender,
if you hold on to your past so tightly,

your future will slip away.

- Wow, well said. Who said this?
- Uh-huh.

Your midwife.

Language, please.

No, it's really your midwife.

Remember Saniye,
she delivered you and me at home.

- Yes.
- She lived downstairs.

She used to say that.

What's this now?

You know, in the middle of the street…

There you go,
you can't even take small risks.

You say you've changed.
You say you're open to everything now.

- Yes, I am.
- So?

I like you a lot. But I still feel like
I'm doing wrong by Sengül.

Do you?

- Okay. Walk with me.
- We are walking.

Walk faster.

What the hell is this?

Dear audience, welcome to our theater.

And this week,
here's Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red Riding Hood has left her house
to take food to her grandmother.

What are you bringing to your grandmother,
Little Red Riding Hood?

I'm taking sushi,

edamame, wasabi to Grandma…

And all of a sudden,
there's the big, bad wolf. Hmm.

- [gasps]
- [growls]

Where are you going,
Little Red Riding Hood?

What are we doing in
a cemetery at night? I'm scared.

- Are you afraid of the woman's grave?
- Please don't talk like that…

I mean your wife.

Yeah, but what are we doing here anyway?

Well, Sengül doesn't sleep early either…
What do we do now?

- Hello, Sengül.
- Sengül, I don't know this woman.

- What are you saying?
- I panicked for a moment.

Actually, you know me in absentia.

And I know you from afar.
You and I have one thing in common.

And that's Kalender.

[clears throat]

I want Kalender from you by
Allah's command and the prophet's word.

- She refused. Let's go.
- Please!

I'm sure you want your husband
to be very happy even after you passed.

And that's why
you're so happy for us right now.

- She's going to punish us.
- Can you please just calm down?

Okay.

At our age, it's hard to love again,
to trust someone.

So we don't want to miss this opportunity.

Right, Kalender?

- She's saying it, not me.
- Kalender!

- Okay.
- [chuckles]

Gülsen is right.

Sengül, I still love you very much.

[sighs heavily]

But I don't want to lose
a person I can love like I love you.

[chuckles]

Life is too short. I don't know
how right it is to tell you this.

I want to hold this hand
in your presence and never let it go.

[chuckles]

And I will never let go of this hand.

No matter what happens,
these hearts will never part.

I've always been by your side,

and I'll always be there for her
for the rest of my life.

- Oh, God! [gasps, sobs]
- Kalender, where are you going?

Sengül, why are you doing this? Sengül.

- Kalender!
- I peed a little.

Hunter, thank you so much. You're
wonderful, hunter. Wonderful hunter.

So the hunter slowly approaches her.

He gets closer
and finally kisses her on the lips.

- [coughing]
- Öcü?

- Are you okay?
- I'm choking!

- Öcü.
- [coughing]

- What's wrong, Öcü?
- Clear, clear, clear!

- I know the Heimlich.
- What's that?

[coughs] What's going on? No! No! No!

- Last time big. Come on.
- No!

- Last one!
- No, I'm fine.

- Anything came out?
- It did.

I was choking. [coughs]

I'm leaving now.

Filiz, everything is okay, right?

Yes, everything is fine.

Brother, you're fine too?

I'm great, thank you very much.

But can I tell you something?
You're a lucky man. I know first aid.

Aid, yes. First aid.

By the way, my Heimlich maneuver
is very famous.

I felt it, you know?

- I'm off then. See you later.
- Bye, sweetie.

- Come on, hop on. I'll give you a ride.
- I'm going for a walk.

I'll come with you.

[sighs]

I was almost choking.

Now I'm really going to choke you.

You're a grown-up man.
Aren't you ashamed to pretend?

I didn't pretend.

[scoffs]

Idiot.

[sighs deeply]

Why are you hiding the fact
that you're acting?

My father doesn't like this acting stuff.

I brought it up a couple of times,
but he was against it.

It's like a little hobby for me anyway.

A little hobby? You're very good on stage.
You made many people laugh tonight.

No. You made more people laugh.

- Öcü.
- What?

Are you jealous of me?

Who? Me? I'm jealous. Me, jealous, of you.

Okay, then why did you follow me?

Well, this evening
you left the shop saying

"Tonight the shit will hit the fan,"
and I thought you were in trouble.

Oh, no. No, uh… The city holds
an amateur theater competition.

Ooh.

And they pay the winners very well.

So I told the director
that we should prepare a play.

He said, "The sketches are going well.
Don't bother with plays."

So I got upset with the boss.

Ooh.

I was worried about you.

What kills the cat is either curiosity or…

[sniffles] Or the Heimlich.

[both laughing]

Excuse me.

Yes? Öcü.

Isn't she an actress in the theater?

No, she's my daughter. She works here.

No, I saw her on the news today.

Let me show you. They even saved this boy.

- Öcü?
- Look,

she's one of the actors in the back.

It's coming, it's coming.
It's coming, it's coming.

Hey, who's ready for some pita? Ooh…

Open your mouth. Eat it. Come on.

What are you doing, dude?

Didn't you want me to shovel
the pita into your mouth?

Is this your presentation?
Is this it? Huh?

He can make flatbread seating.
It's a little greasy, but it's delicious.

We can also break flatbread
over your head.

It's also very good for the evil eye.

Don't be ridiculous. What is that?
How can you do that? You can't do that!

Are we here to eat or get beaten?
What is this?

- Am I right, guys?
- Pita is average.

And on top of that, they shovel it
into our mouths, for God's sake.

- Who are you filming, dude?
- Who are you filming?

What's going on?

Now, everyone,
put your phones down slowly.

Yes. Everybody please calm down…
Please don't film…

- [door opens]
- [bell dings]

Excuse me. There's a hair in my pita.

- Here we go!
- And the cheese stinks.

You saw that, didn't you?

Yes, guys, you see. Covering up
their bad pita with this kind of nonsense.

Why are you spoiling the mood?
If you don't want to, then just don't eat.

Disrespectful too.

Okay, I get it.
You're here to make a scene.

Will you please get up?

Oh, my arm!

Look, you saw how he grabbed the arm.
Come on, guys, we're leaving.

But you totally misunderstood.
I just touched him like that.

- Come on, let's leave.
- We didn't do anything.

Kalender Chef would never
do such a thing. Not at all.

- Go, go, go.
- Listen to me for a second.

Please. Don't go.

How rude you all are!

- You will pay for this.
- This is not a place to eat.

- [mumbles]
- [patron] Go.

I don't know what just happened.

- [Öcü] Who are you filming, dude?
- [mumbles]

- Who are you filming?
- Stop. Go back.

- What's going on?
- Yeah.

Who are you filming, dude?

- Who are you filming?
- They won't find out it was us, will they?

- [Öcü] What's going on?
- No, boss. How would they know?

We talked to the guys, they did the job.
It's a clean job.

They did a tremendous job, boss.

Okay, you guys post this on the Internet.
Tell the guys.

Let them make a big fuss
about it on social media.

Big fuss. Yes, boss.

- Boss.
- What?

You know, these guys…
These guys did a great job.

It's very good.

They were Oscar-worthy
performances, right?

Yes.

You know, I'm just saying.
Should we give some bonus to the guys?

Okay, I'll take care of that.

I'll send it to you.
You send it to their accounts.

- TR64, 96 26, 72 18, 10…
- The hell!

Is that an IBAN?
Did you memorize your IBAN?

[mumbles] 04 15.

The end.

You guys are weird.

What happened today is not normal.
It can't be a coincidence.

I can think of someone.

I don't want to blame him, though.

What's the latest?

We are getting slammed in the comments.

There are very strange comments.

Let me see.

"Aren't you ashamed to poison people?

A pita seller should be a bald man.

How did this Skinny Ass
become a pita maker?

Anyone who sees my story
runs to the restroom." What's going on?

What are you going to do now?

I don't know. As things got better,
we went bigger.

The bigger we went, the better things got.
Here's the result.

Thanks to Öcü, there's no stopping.

Now I'm to blame?

You kneeled down and offered me
a key when everything was on track.

I told you to be careful.

That's what you get for
speeding 250 all the time in life.

Would it have been better to go 50
and lose everything?

Look, Chef,
what a nice family we've become.

A family? What do you know about family?

- [shushes]
- You don't even see your own mother.

Öcü?

- How do you know that?
- We let you into our shop.

I had to check you out at least.

Is it true?

When my father died,
my mother married another man.

What the hell!

What?

My mind went to something different.
Keep going.

You see,
I never got along with my stepfather.

I realized we couldn't get along.

I left home so I wouldn't be
a burden anymore.

Let's say we believe it.

Aren't you the one
who disgraced me all over Iznik?

Huh? I lost both my profession
and my reputation.

Why are you doing this to us?
Are you a spy?

Are you one of those Pidburger guys?
I knew it when you showed up.

[shushes] Kalender,
what are you talking about?

Do you really think so, Chef?

Wow. Thank you very much.

Dad, does slandering suit you?
Saying stuff without knowing?

Oh. I can't lie as well as you do,
my dear baby.

When were you planning
to tell me about this?

Huh? I'm doing everything for you.

My daughter is going behind my back
with this guy.

Chef, you don't know what's going on
behind my back.

Shut up! Shut up!

Are you secretly trying to be an actress?
It's shameless.

Is this coming from
Iznik's first phenomenon?

I did everything for you. Everything.

Get out of here. Get out of here.
Get out, all of you.

- [sobs]
- You have to make people talk rough.

- [door opens]
- [bell dings]

Goodbye, Chef.

[exhales sharply] Shall we talk a little?

[sighs]

I want to be alone. You're not my mom.

Here.

[sighs]

You know your father
was very much in love with your mother?

How do you know that?

I came back about five years
after I left him.

Because I couldn't get over him.

Even your father doesn't know that.

When I came back here
and saw your parents from afar

holding you in their arms,

I realized how happy they were.

I quietly walked away.

Why are we like this now?

Your father is under a lot of pressure.

For someone who has never changed
anything in his life, it's too much.

And he couldn't handle it.

But you're the most important thing
in his life.

I know that. My father is the same for me.

He just couldn't…

accept this whole acting thing.

Well, not really.

What do you mean?

Look.

- Is that Dad?
- Your father and me.

What? Dad was an actor?

We were acting at school.

And your grandfather was furious
because he wasn't taking care of the shop.

One day he found out that he was acting.
He stormed the stage.

He beat your father in front of everyone.

Really?

Yes. It was so hard on him
that he gave up on everything.

[sniffles]

Give him some time.

He'll realize his mistake.

He's the best person I've ever seen
in the world.

[cries]

What a terrible day.

No, don't think that.

Today is a very special day
for you to grow up.

Thank you. [sniffles]

Think that way.

And I think you should keep this napkin.
If I were you…

[blows]

Never mind, don't keep it.

[both laughing]

[metal squeaking]

[clears throat]

I knew I'd find you here.

I'm sorry, it's just one thing
after another.

I tried to take it out on you.

Say something.

- Chef.
- Huh?

You know, I loved my father very much.

He was a very special man.

He was my compass.

When he died, I lost my bearings.

I've been adrift ever since.

Until I met you.

Did you find a new direction
when you met me?

When I met you, I realized there's
no such thing as the right direction.

But when you're with people
who care about you…

no matter where the wind blows,
you somehow find your way.

That's why I'm here.

We haven't known each other
for that long but…

You know, you can't progress ten minutes
in ten years with some people,

but you can progress ten years
in ten minutes with someone else.

That's exactly what happened to us.

You know what I mean?

My math is not good. My brain is fried.

I loved you so much, kid.

See, that's verbal. I understand that.

I like you too, Chef.

Do you forgive me now?

Apprentices don't forgive their masters.

They comply with them.

That sounds nice at first,
but when you think about it,

there's a little bit of flattery.

That's what it feels like to me now.
[coughs] Oh.

So it's not always a good idea
to exercise here, huh? Here we go.

[laughs] All right. Oh, God.

- For example, this isn't a good idea.
- Let's go back to the usual.

It's better this way. [sniffles]

- He does.
- He has that sentimentality.

- [Kalender] Psst.
- Oh!

I'm sorry, baby.

Daddy.

What are you doing together?

Walking.

- Öcü.
- What?

Do you know what Gülsen told me?

No, what?

She and my father used to do acting once.

- No way.
- [Gülsen] Yeah.

- You told her everything, didn't you?
- I couldn't resist.

Come on. Let's go.

Don't be silly, Kalender.

- Chef.
- Then we'll walk too.

[Gülsen] All right.

Okay, Chef.

[grunts] My dear.

[door opens]

[doorbell rings]

[Kalender grunting]

Why are you here? What?
Is something wrong? What happened?

Chef, calm down, there's nothing wrong.
I just had a very good idea.

I couldn't resist.
I wanted to tell you right away.

What idea? Don't shout.
Thank God you didn't wake Filiz.

You gave me a heart attack.

You're so right, Chef. I'm sorry.
[mumbles] I got carried away.

Okay, we'll talk in the morning.
Good night.

I'm already awake. Tell me now.

Chef, we'll talk in the morning
with a clear head.

And I'll have a clearer picture by then.
Perfect. Have a good night.

- I'm awake.
- We'll talk in the morning.

- But I'm awake.
- Sleep. Good night.

Go inside, you'll get cold.

What time in the morning?

In the morning.

[door bangs]

- Öcü. Öcü.
- [gasps] What happened, Chef?

- Is something wrong?
- No, don't worry. There's nothing wrong.

I was curious about that idea you had.
I couldn't sleep, so I came here.

Chef, we agreed to put it off
till morning.

We'll talk in the morning
with clear heads.

- Son.
- I was having a nice dream. Go to bed.

[Öcü grunts]

- Öcü?
- Huh?

- Öcü.
- Morning.

What a lunatic. He ruined all my sleep.
God forgive me.

[Kalender] So now you're suggesting
to screw up even more.

Chef, okay. I get it.
Things didn't go as we wanted.

But you see, we can win the city's
theater competition and turn the tide.

And with the prize money,
we can save the shop. Right, Dad?

- Yeah.
- Baby.

That sounds nice, okay,
but who are we to do acting? Is that easy?

You've already done it in your time.

Filiz is an actress.

I'll try too. It's a done deal.

That's not a bad idea.

I thought you were the smart one,
but you're not. Great.

Chef, this might be our last chance
to save the shop.

We're running out of time.

Dad, let's try. What's the worst
that can happen?

No, baby. I don't want us
to embarrass ourselves even more.

I'm leaving now. I'll be back in two hours
with the money the shop needs.

Where am I going to get that much money?

[siren blares]

What is going on?

POLICE

What's going on?

People got poisoned here yesterday.
We have had a lot of complaints.

We will shut it down for a month.

- You can't shut it down just like that.
- [officer] The mayor has strict orders.

He says he's disgraced our beautiful city.

Don't make it difficult, please. Come on.

Now, go pack your stuff in there
and let us do our job.

Dad, what are we going to do? Öcü?

You guys pack up the stuff inside.

We'll come back with the money.

Come on, Chef. Trust me. Come.

Chef Kalender is my chef and my brother.

Thank you.

Well, son, you've been gone
all these years.

I don't understand. How can a son fall out
with his mother?

Mom, don't make me talk in front of Ergun.

Huh! Ergun?

What kind of talk is that, son?
Don't offend me.

It's Mr. Ergun.

I'm sorry, Mr. Ergun.

[Kalender] Mr. Ergun, Mrs. Sermin.

I'm Kalender from Iznik.
I'm the owner of the Pita Hall.

We've been working together for a while.

Praise be, you've raised a wonderful son.

- Oh, thank you, Chef.
- It is so, my child.

- I have a daughter, about the same age.
- I'm three years older.

- Is that so?
- Uh-huh.

Sends you love and respect.

I don't believe in this family feud.

That's why I really want you to make up
today, believe me.

You can't hold a grudge against your mom.
Come on, kiss her hand. Quick, kiss her.

- Mom.
- Come here.

Uh-huh.

So, you were gone all this time.

Why did you come? Come on, tell me.
There's no secrets from Mom.

Right?

Mom, I have something to tell you, but…

[grunts] …don't know if I should.

Don't bring that up.

One second, Chef. Please.

Mom.

I know I've come after so many years.

It's gonna be a little weird.

But we have very little time.

Our shop has problems. We need money.

You were almost getting soft,
but you see, he's here for money.

Shame on you, son.
You come here for no reason.

I thought it was out of the goodness
of your heart.

Turns out that it is about money.

Why would it be for no reason?

Didn't you call me the other night?
I didn't pick up.

No. I didn't call.

It was an accident. Pocket dial.

If I wanted to talk,
wouldn't I have called again?

That's right.

He wanted to help me
in this dire situation.

Don't get mad at him. He means no harm.

Who the hell are you?
How dare you interfere?

An old man.

You're a loser trying to extort money
by playing the family card.

Shame on both of you.

You're working as a delivery boy
for some guy.

I told you to come work with us.
We own this huge building.

Come work for us. Be a security guard.
Three shifts.

And you're shamelessly asking for money.

[sniffles]

- You… You are…
- Okay. Okay. Let's go.

- Open the door.
- [sniffles]

Chef! Chef!

[Kalender] You asshole!
This kid is the best person in the world.

This kid needs nothing but a little love.

He's happy even living in the shitty
warehouse of our shop.

But you're too blind to see that.

You, Mr. Ergun, a millionaire
full of money.

You're the big one? Yes, you're big.
That's not the point.

But we're even bigger
because we love each other this much.

We don't need anyone.

Shame on you.

[sniffles]

- Let's go.
- Where to?

To go perform.

CITY THEATER OF THE MUNICIPALITY

- Ready?
- [Filiz, Öcü] Ready!

You're too sure. You're making me nervous.

- Dad, don't be nervous for a change.
- Yeah!

- Why are you yelling at me?
- Why are you scolding her now?

- Calm down.
- Don't yell.

- Pfft!
- I think we're ready. Let's go.

[Kalender sighs]

[sighs, mutters]

- Öcü.
- Huh?

- Can you do this?
- Dad. You said you needed an actor.

I brought Esat from our team.

Esat, come here. Let me introduce you.
My father.

Yes, I'm her father. Kalender.

Gülsen. You already know Öcü.

Oh, Heimlich. Are you okay, brother?

No, I'm still choking.

Welcome.

Chef.

I've actually been on stage
in my school days.

Really?

- Yes.
- What did you do?

- I did folk dancing.
- [scoffs]

Oh.

I'll show you. Let me show you.
[sniffs, clears throat]

♪ Bursa's small stones… ♪

- [Kalender] What is this?
- [Gülsen] Not this.

- [coughing]
- [Gülsen] Oh!

- He's choking!
- Get some water.

No! No! No!

I'm fine.

[breathing heavily]

[coughs]

To be or… Not to be?

[Kalender] The cruel chief who stole
my chickens, come out.

I will take my daughter to the town.
I will.

- A little more…
- Get out of here!

What is wrong?

What's wrong?

The thought… "The thought" is granted.
The whip of cruel fate… Not the whip.

- [Filiz screams]
- [Öcü mumbles]

- [Gülsen] My chickens are gone!
- We shout too loud. Too loud.

- Who is shouting, Chef?
- I'll tell you something.

That… Oh, Chef.
Chef, please let's not play this ball.

Chef, let's cancel this, please.
Over my dead body.

Okay, cancel it.

Let's not do this.

What are we going to do?

I know. We'll do this.

No way.

No, I said we'll do it.

- Let's do whatever it is, for God's sake.
- Ah!

You have three days left, Kalender.
It's not my fault.

Mr. Uysal, let us win this contest,
and we'll take care of everything.

Don't worry.

Okay, let's see!

We are on a trip around the world
with my wife.

We came to Afyon for the natural springs.

You started the world tour from Afyon?

Whatever, that's how we pretend we do it.

They are really beautiful.

- Look at how beautiful the costumes are.
- I'm so excited.

Look who is here.

You're going to do acting, huh?

Huh? You'll win the grand prize.

And then the shop…

You won't be able to do anything.
You know that, don't you?

You'll be even more disgraced
than after that Internet incident.

What's your problem with us?

For God's sake. You…

- You still don't remember me, huh?
- No.

- You know what my problem is?
- What?

- My problem is you.
- Me?

Yes. I was dying for you when I was young.

But you were blindly in love
with this man.

You broke up. I was like, "Yeah, I think
it'll work this time," but what happened?

You left the city.

Since that day I haven't been able
to marry anyone,

and I couldn't love anyone.

I thought about you every night.

Every night.

I remember you now.

Yeah.

- Aren't you…
- Who?

- Faceless Weasel.
- [gasps]

What is that, a rapper's name?

Oh, I remember now.

You guys haven't recognized me for days,

but you immediately remembered
this disgusting nickname.

- [gasps] Ah!
- I hate you.

- Come here.
- Where?

- [Sermet] What is it?
- Öcü, calm down!

- What do you think you're doing, huh?
- I'm not doing anything to you.

- What do you think you're doing, Faceless!
- Who the hell is Faceless?

- Calm down, Öcü. [screams]
- [grunts]

[exhales]

Didn't I tell you no kicking?

What kind of advice is that, Chef?

- Are you okay, Filiz?
- I'm fine.

- Good.
- Faceless, are you okay?

[groans]

Hold on. One sec… But… But the branches.

It's not nice to carry the branches
like that.

- [Kalender coughs]
- Chef, you're breathing too fast.

- There's no oxygen left.
- What am I supposed to do?

- Is everyone ready?
- Yes, yes.

But my memorization for the final
is a bit weak.

- I'll cue it for you. Keep an eye on me.
- Okay.

- Thank you, Chef.
- No problem.

[attendant] Kalender pita.

- It's us, we're coming.
- We're coming.

My lady. Please listen to me.

If you don't like it, I promise
I'll sacrifice my own life for you.

Is that so? Well, all right.

[sighs]

Chef.

Chef! Chef!

When I first saw your eyes,

I thought I was drowning in the sea
inside them.

The first time I saw your eyes,

I thought I was drowning in the sea
inside them.

But the color of my eyes are not blue.

Aren't they? Her eyes aren't blue.

Chef, her eyes are not blue.

Whatever color your eyes are,
it must be the color of the sea.

Whatever color your eyes are,
it must be the color of the sea.

The mountains should take
the color of your lips,

the sky the color of your skin.

The mountains should take
the color of your lips,

the sky the color of your skin.

Oh, my lady.

If only I'd known long ago,
I would have had the courage to tell you.

Oh, my lady.

If I had known, I would have had
the courage long ago

and told you these things to your face.

You speak so beautifully. Please go on.

Do I?

I don't know how to put this in words but…

I can't get you out of my mind
no matter what I do.

Kid, this is not in the text.

Chef, please, just a minute.

[mumbles] Whether you love me or not,
it doesn't matter.

But I have to tell you these things.

Of course, the important thing
is that you're happy.

[stammers] Let me come to you.

Let me look into your eyes.
I'll say what's in my heart.

Öcü, what are you doing?

Öcü, what are you doing? Don't climb.

- Kid, don't do this.
- Öcü, let go.

I won't. I really love you.

- Oh, they'll fall.
- Oh! Öcü!

[audience gasps]

- Filiz.
- I'm fine.

- Baby, are you okay?
- I'm fine.

- Öcü? Are you okay?
- [groans]

- [Öcü] I'm okay, Chef.
- [Filiz] I'm fine.

Öcü, come here.

[Filiz] No.

[Sermet] Oh! Dear friends!

What's going on?

What's going on? Why do you applaud?

Did you watch something marvelous?
Why are you applauding?

Listen! This guy disgraced us
on the Internet.

He's ruined the city's reputation.

And he's still participating
in a theater contest.

What if he wins?

Are you okay with giving
the city's money to this dancer, folks?

- No, boss! It's unacceptable.
- No, boss!

- Is it okay?
- Speak up, boss!

- Are you okay with it?
- [heckler] You're great, boss! Bravo!

[heckler 2] Speak up, boss!

I just wanted to save the shop.

Stop that.

I thought if I saved the shop,
I could save everything.

I've spent my life trying
to make someone else happy.

But I've had enough.

Tonight, for the first time, I'm literally
doing something for myself. On this stage.

I am doing my favorite thing
with my loved ones.

Is there anything more beautiful
than that? Huh?

And that's why being here
is more important than winning.

Believe me.

Well done, Skinny Ass. Well spoken.
Well done.

Skinny Ass! Skinny Ass!

[audience] Skinny Ass! Skinny Ass!

[Sermet] But…

Come on, for God's sake. Come. Damn!

Friends, thank you very much
for your support.

But I'm not so sure about this part.
Is it really skinny?

Skinny Ass!

[Kalender] Let's bow. They loved it.

Good for you. So you won the contest.

[Kalender] No, there's no way we won.

Why couldn't you win after all this, son?

Kalender Chef said, "Being here is more
important than being in the competition,"

blah, blah, blah, and the mayor's nephew
won the competition.

I couldn't help it.
I just got carried away.

We may have lost the shop, but
we didn't lose each other. Right, darling?

Right, sweetheart.

Well, it might be nice to be
on the winning side for a change.

Don't worry, baby, we found a new shop.
We'll start from zero.

Let's say we're not starting from zero
but from minus two.

[all laugh]

We'll make the upstairs a pita hall.

And downstairs, we'll stage plays
in the evenings.

That's a great idea.
And what will we call it?

The Skinny Ass Pita and Art Center.

[laughs] Öcü!

[all laughing]

God bless you.

Where the hell do you get this stuff, man?

- But, Chef…
- Yeah?

- This exercise really worked, right?
- Really? You can tell?

They won't ever
call you Skinny Ass anymore.

[chattering]

[♪ dance music plays]

PITA and DANCE

[♪ dance music stops]

- All right!
- Bravo.

[all cheering]

- I love you, brother.
- I love you too, brother.

[laughing]

Well done, everyone.
