My beautiful mother... Look, I brought you my wife.

Your son is no longer alone. I have a great family.

It couldn’t be better. It’s sweeter than honey.

I can’t find the words to describe it. I couldn’t think of a better family.

You used to worry that your son is naive and obedient, and easy to fool.

Rest in peace now, mother. My family protects me now.

My family pampers and spoils me, mom.

It’s thanks to your prayers that I found this family. That’s what I think.

In short, your son is in good hands, mom. Rest in peace. That’s all I want.

God rest your soul.

Aykut, we’ve got everything, right?

I’ve got it all. Erdal’s suit is here. Saniye’s iron is here too.

The linen set, the tablecloth... I’ve checked the whole list.

Great! And our invitation cards?

I’ve got them too. I’ll hand them out tomorrow.

I want to bite that sweet little nose of yours!

Let me get under that umbrella.

Aykut, my hands are full!

-Can’t you see? Just hold on. -Alright. No worries.

But listen. What did Erdal say? Tell me again.

Aykut, you’ve been making me say it all day!

But please, tell me again!

He said, “Tell brother Aykut to come and visit us after handing out the invitation cards.”

Avni, I’m getting married! I’m starting my family.

-Congratulations, son. -Thank you.

Hey! Your brother’s getting married here. Here’s your invitation.

You’re in luck! The single life is over at last!

Sister Ayten! I’m getting married next week!

-May God give you happiness. -Thank you, sister.

You crazy boy!

You’re invited, Erkan! Next week.

I’ll be there, brother.

Paşa! You’ve got to be there.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

Aykut!

You lay around all day!

A cup of tea for Ergün!

-See you later! -Enjoy it, brother.

Hüseyin! From now on, I’m getting apples and pears for two!

-You keep my words in mind. -Oh no, Erdal is a good guy. Really.

Orhan, you know the kind of photos Nurhan wanted, with the horse riding and so on...

-Yes? -Please tell her you can’t make those. Please.

Okay.

We’re all neighbors here. We need to get along.

-Alright. -Okay. I trust you.

Fevzi! Make no plans next week. Your brother’s getting married!

That’s my boy! I’ll be there, my friend.

If you don’t come, I won’t let you open that store again.

There’s no way I’m not coming to your wedding, Aykut!

I don’t even have to tell you, right? Wedding, next week.

-I’ll see you on the floor! -I can’t wait to see you dance!

What’s up, Tontik?

-Good morning, sir. Welcome. -Hello. What’s up? You sold anything yet?

No.

That’s alright. Go and get two cups of tea. I’ve got pastry here. Let’s take a bite.

-Right away, sir. -“Right away, sir!”

Good morning, brother.

Welcome, brother.

-Do you have leather cases? -Sure. I’ll get you one.

I’ve got some originals here for fifty liras.

These are for thirty, and these...

Stop! You shoplifter!

Stop!

Aykut, what’s going on?

Come here!

-What happened, son? -Goodness...

Where do you think you’re going, wise guy?

-Brother... -You want me to call the cops?

No, brother. Please. I’m really in need.

-What do you need this for? -My mother is very ill.

Will you boil the phone case and make medicine for her?

-Why are you lying to me? -Please don’t call the cops, brother. Please!

What happened to us?

What happened to humanity? What has become of us?

If you stole bread, I’d understand. But who steals a phone case!

You won’t steal again.

Never again, brother. You’re such a nice, such a blessed man!

-Thank you very much, brother. -You’re welcome.

-What was your name? -Aykut.

-Such a blessed name. -Thank you.

Thank you, brother Aykut. May God bless you.

-Okay, go. -Thank you very much.

Go to your mom. And don’t steal again. No more stealing.

I swear, brother. No stealing again. I promise. Never again.

Poor boy. What a sad story.

It was nothing worth running for, but I got angry because he treated me like a fool.

Right.

Did you see Fevzi? His belly was running ahead of him!

-I’ll invite him for a football game. -Look at him!

Aykut, you’re really something.

-Will you call the police? -Of course not. He’s just a poor boy.

-Alright, then. -See you later.

Fuat...

Did you see who took away my store?

Fevzi, I’m ruined!

Calm down, son. We’ll find a way.

I’ve been conned, Fuat!

They stole away my future at this young age!

Enough! Enough!

Stop pouring that! I’ve had enough, Fuat.

-My God... Is that tobacco cologne? -It’s lemon, brother.

My God...

They robbed Rıza’s jewelery store the other day.

-Really? -Did they steal everything?

-They didn’t leave a thing behind. -Poor boy. Look at that store.

They didn’t leave a thing behind!

-Do you have insurance? -I do.

So why wait? Call the company.

-Will that work? -Of course.

-Will they pay me for the damage? -Of course.

-Goodness. -Where’s my phone?

-They stole my phone too! -What?

I can’t find my... Oh, it’s here.

Good God...

I should call them, right?

Get me some soda. I’m burning inside...

-Hello! -Yes?

My store was robbed! Yuvam Communication.

-I’m listening. -Yuvam Communication.

I’m noting down.

-Yuvam Communication. Aykut Aslan. -Aykut Aslan.

Dad, I’m sorry. It was a very busy day. I couldn’t talk to you. I’m listening.

This busywork has left you all skin and bone.

You’re so hung up on this “standing on your own feet” thing.

Dad, we’ve talked about this so many times.

I’m happy the way I am.

What are you happy about? Look at this shoddy place!

-And it’s not like you need it. -Please, dad. Some respect!

No! I’ve got no respect for you!

Listen, dear. You’re 30 years old.

I want a grandchild now! I deserve to have one!

There we go again. I’m happy with my life!

You were getting along fine with Hayri’s son.

You should make peace. Let’s have dinner with them.

-Dad! -We have an incident. I’m leaving.

Oh, we have an incident? Okay, I’m leaving.

-Gülşah! -Work can’t wait, dad. Right?

Dear, I just want to have a word with you here!

This will only take two hours. I’ll call you in two hours. Send me your location, okay?

Gülşah! You can’t keep running away...

Goodness!

Here comes the tea, sir!

I keep telling you not to fill those damn cups all the way!

You’re like that robot Asimo! You walk ten meters in an hour!

I don’t need your tea!

They robbed the store! They ate our pastry!

-Calm down. It’s not the boy’s fault. -They couldn’t have robbed us if he were here!

I just couldn’t get this boy to like this store!

Mother!

Come on, we’ll find a way.

Go away!

-Fevzi, tell him to go! Go! -Go! Go!

Don’t be sad. Sit down.

Come on.

-He brought me tea! -Okay, sit down. Come on.

Oh my unlucky boy...

-Mr. Aykut? -Yes, it’s me.

-I’m sorry to hear what happened. -Thank you.

I’m Gülşah. From the insurance company.

Welcome. Please have a seat.

Where?

They stole everything! They stole all I had!

I understand. Mr. Aykut, how did it happen?

Yes, that’s me. How do you think I am? I’m miserable! I’m ruined!

No, I mean, how did the incident happen?

I rented this store in 2012. I paid a year of rent in advance. 12 thousand liras...

Mr. Aykut... What happened today?

They robbed my store! I was robbed today. Today is the first day of my poverty!

Alright.

Do you have a security camera?

This guy called Kemal was supposed to install one. I called him, asked him to do it.

He said he’d install it the next day. I said, “Come and do it”.

He kept putting me off, saying he’d do it next week.

-So you don’t have one. -We were about to get one installed. Write it like that.

So, did anyone see the robbers? Any eyewitnesses?

Nobody saw anything, Ms. Gülşah.

It was all planned. When I chased the first guy, and the other store owners came with me...

...the store was left unattended. The others came in like a ghost and took away everything!

They even ate my pastry! They made a fool of me!

Had you locked the door?

Well, Mr. Aykut, if the door was unlocked, that’s a sign of negligence.

I’m very sorry. The company may not reimburse your damage.

What are you talking about! That will be the end of me!

I’m sorry, Mr. Aykut. I have to take this call.

Yes, dad?

I’m inviting Hayri’s family for dinner tonight.

-Oh, dad, please... -No excuses! I’ve had enough!

My own daughter is treating me like a fool!

Please, dad. We’re not inviting anyone tonight.

I’m inviting them!

She says the door was unlocked! She says there’s negligence!

How was I supposed to lock the door when I was going after the robber!

-No way. Stop insisting. -Perhaps I should’ve cleaned the store first too!

But why? Why?

Because I have a boyfriend!

You have a boyfriend?

Yes, I do. He’s actually with me now.

Okay, so hand him the phone and let me talk to him.

Now?

-I’m calling Hayri... -Wait!

Stop! Don’t call him.

-Mr. Aykut... -Yes?

This is very embarrassing for me.

Don’t say that. It’s me who’s embarrassed. I should’ve locked that door.

No, right now, it’s me. This will sound strange, but...

-...my father is on the phone. -Yes?

-Can you talk like you’re my boyfriend for a minute? -I can’t lie.

I can’t do it.

Hello?!

We love each other, sir! Don’t you come between us!

Tell me your name first, son.

My name is Aykut Aslan.

And I’m Sadi Atabeyoğlu.

By the way, I won’t come between people. I have respect for love.

And you should! Otherwise, I’ll...

What was your name?

Gülşah.

I’ll take anyone on for Gülşah! When I fall in love...

-...I go crazy for my love! -You sound like a brave man. I like you.

I like you too, sir.

If you and my daughter are seeing each other, you should act according to customs.

You’re very right, sir. Who cares about customs in this day and age!

Relationships have gone haywire! Nobody does gets anything right!

Listen, tell Gülşah to come for dinner with you tonight.

-Of course, sir. I’ll tell her. -I’m expecting you at eight.

Eight or nine...

Or ten... I’ll see you then!

Well, I’ll see you then, sir. I send my regards.

Thank you very much, Mr. Aykut.

By the way, your father is expecting you for dinner at eight, with your boyfriend.

I don’t have a boyfriend.

You said, “Like my boyfriend”.

You asked me to talk like him! Who was I imitating there?

Wait a minute. My father invited you for dinner, and you said yes?

Well, he’s an old man. He invited me kindly. What was I supposed to say?

You asked me to talk to him, and I did. I did you a favor!

I asked you to talk for a minute, and you arranged a dinner!

How will I find someone now?

You got me into this situation, so you’re coming for dinner tonight.

I can’t.

Well, it’s your fault for promising my father!

What are you talking about! I’m engaged. I’m getting married next week.

I can’t lie to my family!

Well, that’s your problem, Mr. Aykut. You were lying just fine back there.

We’ll have to help each other out of this.

Or, I could write a report that your door wasn’t locked. Which it wasn’t.

And you won’t get your money. Have a nice day.

My name is Aykut Aslan. Lies are my greatest enemy.

I can’t lie to my family! I’ll tell them the truth!

Mom, don’t cry...

Is that vinegar water, mom?

For a moment I thought I was falling...

What do you mean you were robbed!

-You were going to run away, right? -Why would I run away?

I even booked the wedding hall! I like my family, dad!

Don’t call me dad!

This boy turned out to be an idiot!

He’s nothing but a fool!

I’ll fix this. I swear I will.

Aykut, how could you do this! On the week of our wedding!

Nurhan, robberies can happen any time of the year!

They robbed the store, that’s it!

This idiot let down our daughter!

I’ll stab you with a skewer, Aykut!

-I’ll give you a lot of trouble! -You don’t have to stab me, Erdal!

There’s no need for stabbing, dad.

Look what you did to this girl, you idiot!

Who’s that woman over there? She keeps yelling at me.

She’s my aunt, you idiot!

Oh, Auntie Muhteşem.

Let me kiss your hand, auntie. Nurhan talks about you all the time.

-Don’t. -Oh, but I don’t deserve this.

I’m ruined! They’ve ruined me!

You idiot!

They stole away everything I had!

Don’t you have any sense in you?

Believe me, even my medals are gone!

To hell with your medals!

Don’t say that! I won those medals at the Konya Meram Folk Dance Contest!

I have fond memories with them!

You’re still talking!

Listen.

If you embarrass my family, I’ll bury you right here!

I won’t!

I have insurance!

The store is insured!

Oh dear, why didn’t you tell us before!

I didn’t know this seat had an extension, dad.

We were sorry because you were in difficulty.

You worked so much for that store, right?

-Come on, make tea for my brother-in-law! -Of course I will, brother!

Boy, you’re really something.

I’ll switch to the football game. You like football.

Look at us, such a beautiful family! I’m so glad to have you.

Hello?

Ms. Gülşah, if I come for dinner tonight, can you prepare the report?

Of course I will. Don’t worry about that.

-Okay, then. Please send me the location. -So...

...I’ll see you at eight, right?

Okay. Have a nice day.

That was an offside there.

I’ll bring some stranger home and introduce him as my boyfriend. Just imagine that!

How will I lie to my father? Look.

Wait a minute. This could actually work in our favor.

How?

Are you crazy? There’s no way your parents will approve of this guy.

And you’ll say, “If you don’t like this guy, then I don’t want Levent”.

And they won’t bring up marriage again, for a long time.

-Great. -Great!

Wonderful!

But what shall we tell Hayri? How shall we explain this?

She just doesn’t want him, Şule.

She loves someone else. What can we do?

-You’re wearing that square wrong. -Come on!

Look, this is really bothering me. Shall we tell Gülşah about this other thing?

Oh, no way! I’ll tell her in due time. I’ve got that.

-When? -Don’t worry.

I really don’t understand why people get married!

So, isn’t my brother-in-law here yet?

Stop calling him brother! Don’t call him that when he comes.

Why shouldn’t I, mom? My sister loves him, after all.

He’s my brother now.

Dear, could you please stop this?

He’s about to arrive, and you still haven’t told us anything about him.

Is he a man worthy of our family?

Of course, dad. He’s a great fit for our family.

Let’s hope so.

Sister, where’s my brother? I miss him before I even met him!

There he is! It’s my brother! Brother!

Come here! Stop calling him that!

He’s gone, Sadi! He’ll call the man “brother”!

-Brother! -What the...

What have you done to the boy!

I didn’t do anything, sir! He slipped and fell.

That’s right, dad. My brother punched me and I fell.

-Welcome, brother. -Brother?

I see, you’re a bit shaken.

Welcome, darling.

Hello, Ms. Gülşah.

My... Gülşah...

My Gülşah...

They say broccoli is great for the eyes.

Sorry about hitting you back there, brother.

He’s such a kind boy.

You have so many pictures!

They’re not pictures, Mr. Aykut. They’re oil paintings.

They’re important examples of suprematism and... What was the other one?

-Cubism. -Right, Cubism.

Aren’t they, dear?

My mother had rheumatism. She suffered a lot from it.

It’s hard...

Hey, little princess! What grade are you in?

Mr. Aykut, how are your parents doing?

They’re dead, auntie. They passed away when I was a young boy.

-Sadi, he called me “auntie”! -My condolences, son.

Thank you, Mr. Sadi. It’s hard to lose your parents at an early age.

What’s your name, kiddo?

Look at her. She doesn’t speak much, does she!

Who do you like more: Mom or dad?

Where is her dad, by the way?

Where’s your father? Isn’t he here tonight?

-Where’s her father? -Son...

-Where’s her father? -Her father...

...cheated on me! He took all my money...

...and ran away to Greece! I hope you’re happy, now that you’ve learned that!

You’re touching me!

-You don’t have to take those pills. -Don’t touch me!

That’s all I can do without touching!

Shall I help her?

Shall I help her up?

I’m very sorry. I really didn’t know.

Come on, don’t be sad. Look, you’re making kiddo here sad too. Right, kiddo?

Please call me Sude!

You’re the same. You men are all the same!

Now you’re tempting Gülşah!

Get out of this house!

Why should he get out, mom?

He’s my aunt’s guest, not yours.

Your communication problems with men don’t have to mean that every man who visits our house...

...leaves early!

I’m sorry, Sude.

By the way, I spoke to your doctor. He suggested that you stop taking the pills.

I promised him to keep you in check.

But if you go on like this, I’ll get you off the pills.

-Sude, dear... -I’m talking to my mom here.

So please excuse us.

-Mom, please go to your room and rest. -Okay, Sude.

Have you forgotten something, mom?

Good night everyone.

-Good night. -Good night, dear.

Good night.

Mr. Aykut, what do you do?

Brother, just don’t look into his eyes.

Ms. Sude, I own a small mobile phone store in Selimiye.

I make my living, thank God.

I don’t have a business card with me now.

If you come around the place one day alone...

I’m sure you’ll come along one day alone...

And you...

...I guess you’re a student.

That’s what I thought, madam.

Yours is a hard profession too. Mathematics and all.

Have you studied the multiplication table yet?

I’m feeling a little sick. Can I use your bathroom?

Of course, darling. It’s upstairs on the left.

Please excuse me.

I should put it back up.

By the way, in my home town, “kiddo” is what we call respected people...

What a kid!

Six years old and she’s like a history teacher!

Oh, Nurhan!

Good, she didn’t call.

It’s all done tonight. You’re getting the report tomorrow. You got the money, Aykut!

Hello.

Aykut?

Auntie Muhteşem?

What are you doing here?

I work here!

What are you doing here!

I’m here for work.

Ex-- Extra work.

-Phones! -Work? At this hour?

That’s what I told them! “You can’t make me work so late!”

It turns out these three guys started a fake company.

They were trying to market faulty goods with my company’s name...

I said I’m not doing it. “So”, they said...

-...”Do folk dances for us.” -Sude’s dancing thing!

Right! I’m here for Ms. Sude’s dance thing, of course.

Do you call her Sude? Doesn’t she mind?

She’s a little kid!

-She humiliated me downstairs! -Goodness!

I said, “If it’s so important, okay, I’ll give you dance lessons”.

Couldn’t they find anyone else?

Don’t say that, auntie. I was the leader of the Konya Meram Folk Dance Team.

-I have prizes. -Well, whatever.

Does Nurhan know?

She doesn’t, does she?

He said “rheumatism”!

Well, I get reminded of sugar cubes every time you say “Cubism”!

That’s your fault.

-Where are you from, dear? -I’m from Konya, sir.

Where you two met? You don’t seem to have much in common.

Mercy me...

She has hazel eyes like yogurt

And nice words like ayran, my loved one

Room by room, in your house and mine

If my hands...

We were dancing like that, in some place.

And then I saw Gülşah. I was thunderstruck. I thought, “What a beautiful girl!”

Gülşah, I didn’t know you went to such places.

I do.

It’s an ethnic place, mom. We should go altogether one day.

It’s very original.

Brother, how did you feel when you first saw my sister?

One. Two. Three. Four.

One. Two. Three. Four.

Take a step back and bounce

May your...

-Are you alright? -I’m not alright. I have to go.

Please, don’t bother. I can go alone.

-I’ll just go right off. -Brother, where are you going?

-Gülşah will tell you later. -You should’ve stayed longer.

It’s alright, dad. I’ll see my boyfriend off.

Let him go. He’s sick.

Sick!

Oh, Mr. Aykut.

You did such strange things! But it was good. It worked.

It’s no good, Ms. Gülşah! Nurhan’s aunt is here!

Auntie Muhteşem is here! She caught me.

-Who is Nurhan? -My fiancee.

Is Ms. Muhteşem your fiancee’s aunt?

Yes. I told her I was here to teach dance.

Oh, that’s why you were doing those dance moves...

Of course.

-But you were good. -Really?

Of course you were.

I was the team leader of the Konya Meram Folk Dance Team.

I danced a lot back then.

I don’t like talking about myself like this, but I even had medals.

Well, they were all stolen.

Don’t worry. We’ll find a way.

We can’t find them. They sell them for scrap metal.

I’m talking about Ms. Muhteşem. I hope she won’t tell your fiancee.

I hope she won’t. I’ll be in hell if she does!

So, what about this report?

Don’t worry about that. I was going to visit you tomorrow, to have you sign a few papers.

We’ll take care of it tomorrow.

-Thank you. God bless you. -You’re welcome.

I’m welcome...

So, dad?

What do you think of him?

We love him!

-Sorry? -We love him!

Sadi!

He looks like a brave and smart boy.

Well done, dear.

They tell me to give up my love! How can a lover...

-What’s up, Fuat? -Fine, and you?

Fine. I’m putting in some new furniture. I’m getting the insurance payment.

What’s up my boy?

-Welcome, sir. -“Welcome, sir!” Are you angry with me?

You’re placing the cases?

Place them. Those cases are our future. Come here.

Forgive me. I was so angry yesterday.

But you took an hour to bring the tea! Look, we were robbed.

Anyway, the insurance will save us.

Come on, get us some tea. Let’s celebrate our peace.

-Right away, sir. -“Right away, sir!” He’s so excited.

Make it three teas! Bring one for Ms. Gülşah too.

No, don’t bother.

I’ll just tell you something and leave.

And I need your signature here.

Sign the papers, get the money! This is the report, isn’t it?

-No, that’s the information form you have to sign. -I see.

By the way, I must tell you. I love your father.

He’s such a sweet man.

-He loves you too. -Really?

You know, that positive energy is always mutual.

So he loves me...

You mean... What do you mean he loves me?

He said he loved you.

So I guess you’ll have to deal with that among yourselves.

And what about the report?

-No report! -How come?

I’m sorry, Mr. Aykut. If I sign the report, you’ll just leave.

Didn’t you tell me you’d sign it if I came for dinner? You did!

And didn’t I come? I did! Why don’t you just sign it?

I’m very sorry.

But I can’t just tell my father that I lied to him.

I can’t tell him that I lied.

You’ll get them to hate you within a few days and that will be it.

You must be kidding! I’m getting married next week!

-I can’t get them to hate me! -You go ahead with your wedding.

Go ahead and get married. Just two days! Thank you very much. Thank you.

-But you... Why are you doing this! -Just two days. Thank you.

Just when I thought I was getting the money!

You ruined everything!

Tea, sir!

It’s all because of you!

Go away! Go!

Fuat, tell him to go away! Tell him to go!

Go!

Brother!

What are you doing here?

-I don’t know you. -What do you mean?

I’m Mithat. You struck my sister with a pitcher in the head, you know?

-Oh, Mithat. -Mithat!

I couldn’t recognize you for a moment. What’s up?

I’m fine, brother. How are you?

Go away.

What do you mean? Don’t say that. I saw you and I thought I’d greet you.

Thank you, but I’ll see you later. Go.

Look at that! You’re already wearing the ring!

Congratulations! I’m so happy.

But don’t tell dad. He’ll go crazy!

Please, make sure he doesn’t hear this, Mithat. Please.

We...

We were going to surprise you.

If you tell your dad, your sister will be so sad, Mithat.

-For God’s sake, please. -Sssh, brother!

You don’t know me yet.

I’ll keep my lips sealed. My friends call me the “Confidant”!

-Don’t worry. -You’re the man. You’re my confidant!

-So I’m going now. -Go now!

That’s my brother-in-law...

I couldn’t find what I was looking for here. I’ll go and look over there.

Darling, maybe you’re looking too hard.

You should rest for a few minutes. Maybe you’ll find more.

Crazy girl.

Yes, Ms. Gülşah.

Mr. Aykut, what have you said!

I said, “Yes, Ms. Gülşah”.

-Why did you tell him we promised to get married? -Whom?

My father just called me.

I didn’t say anything. Mithat saw me here a minute ago.

So I just had to... Caution him, that’s all.

He said his nickname was the “Confidant”. He said he’d keep his lips sealed.

Dad is inviting you for a hunt. So, there you go.

A hunt? I know nothing about hunting!

In any case, I can’t come. I have a lot to do. You go.

You said we promised to get married! How will I explain this to dad?

I’m sorry Ms. Gülşah, but I don’t like your imposing attitude.

You can’t order me around! I’m not coming.

I’m sorry, brother. I didn’t know what I was saying.

You should have! You called your father seven times! You texted him to call you back!

-He told me. -What could I do?

This happens when I get excited. I got so excited.

-You promised to keep your lips sealed! -Enough of your blabber! Aykut, come here.

Listen, son. I actually don’t like it when things happen suddenly like this.

Me neither.

But I have respect for love. So I need to get to know you.

In my book, you get to know a man on the hunt.

You see his reflexes, his timing, his anticipation.

If he’s good at those, he’ll be successful in life.

You understand?

This is the main route of the Pagut ducks. A flock will fly over here soon.

-I’ll call out and say “Aykut!” -Aykut.

I made the cue word your name, to make it easy. You won’t forget it, will you?

Why would I forget my name, sir?

Good. When I call out, you’ll make a harassing shot.

The flock will change direction. And I’ll shoot them down. Okay?

But be careful. This is a rare species.

You two take position on the left.

I’ll give you the sign from the south.

-Don’t forget: You’ll fire when I call “Aykut”. -When you call “Aykut”...

-Come on. -So brother, what’s your favorite number?

Okay, so tell me your favorite color.

-Brother, shall I tell you a story? -Oh, please.

He told us to take position on the left.

But this is a story about the reeds.

-It’s set in a place like this. -Oh, come on now.

Is this it? Are we there?

I’m not sure. I guess it is.

Let’s see...

Brother...

I had a fling with this woman two weeks ago.

She was incredible. The kind that drives you crazy.

Hey, stop talking. I’m waiting for the cue.

She came second in Miss Bolivia 2014.

You have to see her. She was underrated!

Mithat, shut up! We’re waiting for the ducks. Your father asked us to do this.

You have no idea, brother. I’m burning up inside!

-I’m burning up for her! -Aykut, get ready.

I’m ready! Shut up!

-You want to see her picture? -They’re coming!

Let them come! Shut up!

Just look for a second. You can aim later.

-They’re coming! -Let them come! Hey, stop!

Look at that woman, brother. She’s unbelievable.

She’s the kind to die for!

Just look, brother. Brother Aykut!

To hell with your brother!

To hell with your brother!

You keep calling me “brother” all day!

If your father dies, I don’t accept responsibility!

-You made a killer of me! -Dad!

I asked you to get my father to hate you. Not shoot him!

Do I look like a contract killer to you, Ms. Gülşah?

I’m sorry, but it’s all your brother’s fault. He keeps poking his nose into everything!

Well, I wouldn’t have preferred this solution, but I guess they’ll no longer want to see me.

-I agree. -So, perhaps I should go now?

Right.

Ms. Gülşah, what about the report?

Okay, I’ll sign that for you tomorrow.

God bless you. Thank you, Ms. Gülşah. So, I’m leaving now.

-Okay. -Aykut!

Aykut, come here, son!

-Is your name Aykut too? -No...

Any other Aykuts?

Did he call me?

He said “son”!

Mithat!

-Keep your eyes on my sister, Mithat. -Of course.

I can take you hunting one weekend.

There are crocodiles out there, with big mouths! They growl, like “hrrr!”

-Did you call me, Mr. Sadi? -Come here.

Sit down.

Don’t worry about this. These things can happen.

I’ve been shot many times.

Come closer.

It’s my fault.

-I gave you too much responsibility on your first hunt. -Mr. Sadi, what are you doing!

-Life can make you both the hunter and the hunted. -What are you talking about?

-Life has all kinds of balances, son. -I’ve always considered you my father-in-law...

-What’s going on! -But with time, you learn to never give up.

-Gülşah, help! I’m about to kiss your dad! -Stop pressing that, son!

Oh, it was me.

I almost thought you’d kiss me, Mr. Sadi.

I’m going out. I need some fresh air after this!

Right, we should let dad rest.

Mithat, where’s my sister?

She’s gone! She’s gone!

-Mithat, where did she go? -Don’t do that. Calm down.

I’m experienced. In search and rescue, the first hour is very important.

Now, we’ll get organized. Mithat, you go this way.

This way!

And Mr. Gülşah, you go this way... But you’re already gone!

You don’t listen to me! You shouldn’t follow that boy!

I’ll find your sister for you now.

Have you seen an angry woman around? With one eye closing.

Have you seen an angry woman here?

She’s beautiful but unhappy. Her one eye closes when she gets angry.

Auntie, perhaps you saw her?

Dilşah!

Stop! Please don’t!

It’s not worth it!

You have a beautiful family down there.

And...

It’s his fault, for losing a beautiful woman like you!

Trust me! You have nothing to worry about.

I had irritable bowel syndrome. Seven years ago, when I was 28...

I soiled my pants in the bus on a summer day. I couldn’t get off for nine stops.

-Screams, chaos... -Aykut!

I’m here.

Where have you been! Everyone is worried about you.

So they sent you after me...

By the way, what I said wasn’t true. I told it to shock her, to keep her from jumping.

Smartphones and all. They take great videos, don’t they?

-Have you taken a video today? -No.

I soiled my pants in the bus on a summer day. I couldn’t get off...

Did they check all the camera footage? All of it? Are we sure?

Yes, we’re sure.

Where have you been? We were so worried.

You think I’m really crazy, don’t you...

I just got out to get fresh air.

Aykut, thank you.

Oh, don’t mention it.

-Don’t mention it! You know what he did? -Hey, shut up! This is a hospital.

-Let’s go home. -Hey, you’re touching me!

Okay, I’m not touching you. Come on.

Thank you very much.

-Why are you wasting my sister’s time? -Of course I’m not, Erdal.

If you have no money, why did we come to a jewelery store?

I’m a business owner, after all. I told him I’d bring the money on Monday, but he didn’t accept.

People don’t even greet each other anymore. Why would he just give you gold on trust?

I’ll rip your nose off! We’ll end up on the news!

-On the papers! -No need for that.

-Where is the insurance money? -I’ve filed the papers. It’s the weekend, you know.

The report is in. We’re getting our money on Monday.

Monday, right?

-Yes. -You’re not lying?

Of course not, Erdal.

My name is Aykut Aslan. Lies are my greatest enemy.

I’m not sure. I’ll reserve this, though...

Monday.

Sweetheart, Erdal is a bit...

Don’t call me sweetheart, Aykut!

Your sweetheart has been haggling all day!

I’m about to get the necklace for 15 thousand liras, and you say “Monday”!

Aykut, your sweetheart cannot be reached at the moment!

Please try again later, after Monday!

Hello, Mr. Gülşah?

Where is the dance rehearsal?

I’ll be right back.

Mr. Aykut, thank you very much for coming here.

No problem, Ms. Gülşah. I see you’re into dancing?

I like it a lot, but I don’t understand why I’ve had to come here.

I’m sorry Mr. Aykut, but I have a life, you know?

Sude had a dance rehearsal.

You called, so I had to ask you to come here.

I’m sorry Ms. Gülşah, but I have a life too.

And unless you do something, it’s about to be ruined! I’m really stuck in a corner.

Alright, alright.

-I have an idea. -Really?

Really. My mother has a very important opening tonight.

The sculpture she’s been working on for two years will be exhibited.

-Really? -And you’ll break that sculpture.

What!

Great. Wonderful.

What kind of an idea is that!

Breaking sculptures! Do you think I’m a bandit?

It’s just to make her angry.

-What on earth am I doing... -Ms. Sude is coming.

Auntie, why have you brought this man here?

“This man”?

I had no choice, dear.

You know how important the rehearsals are for me, auntie.

You had to be more careful.

I’m very sorry. I’ll be more careful next time.

Don’t get me wrong, but I can hear you.

-Sude, how are you? -Fine.

Dad, meet my classmate Sude.

And this is her aunt, Gülşah.

Rıdvan.

Dad, Sude and her aunt are entering the contest this year.

But of course, since we’ve been the winners for three years in a row...

...we’re almost bored now. Aren’t we?

Remember what I told you? The greatest mistake...

...is to give hope to those who are destined to lose.

That’s right! One-two!

Look how a grown-up man is acting... “The greatest mistake...”

-Who is this idiot? -Come on, auntie. We have a contest to lose.

Mr. Aykut, please don’t go. Please consider.

Wait for me. Let’s talk afterwards, please.

Three, four...

Take care, Sude.

I think it’s you who should take care, auntie.

-What do you think she meant? -That she’s aware of everything, of course.

What a kid!

But don’t worry. She’ll keep her lips sealed.

I hope her lips are tighter than Mithat’s!

-Sorry? -Nothing.

Mr. Aykut. We have two hours to go.

Why don’t we get you some new clothes?

Don’t you like these? Aren’t they good?

No.

I mean, they’re great.

They look great on you. And that’s the problem.

I’ve been working non-stop on this exhibition for two years.

Of course, I created some wonderful works in the end.

You’ll see them as you walk around.

Tonight is my night!

It’s going to be wonderful.

What do you think?

Of the painting? It’s great.

I’m thunderstruck. It’s...

That great darkness, and that round thing...

I shouldn’t lie to you. I don’t understand a thing, Ms. Gülşah. What’s this about?

Oh, well done, Gülşah. She brought that man to this nice occasion!

And she dressed him up. Look at him, he looks like a clown!

We’ve been working very hard on this exhibition for two years.

I’m so excited.

Thank you all very much for your interest.

Forgive me! Forgive me!

I had no choice!

I had to do it!

My back!

Oh God, there are sculptures everywhere!

Who put them here?

Who’s putting that light on me? Turn off the lights!

Let this celebration end! Let it end!

Let it end!

Mr. Aykut!

Is this all, Ms. Gülşah? Is it over now? Please, tell me it is.

It is. My mother’s going crazy already.

So am I! I can’t take this anymore.

Give me that signature. I’ve done so much wrong.

Okay, I’ll sign the report.

Come tomorrow. I’ll sign it after work.

What time?

Come around eight.

Eight.

-Okay, I’ll visit you at eight. -Okay.

-I don’t want any more problems, please. -No more.

-You promise. -Yes.

I wasn’t going to break all those sculptures. But that guy turned the light on me.

Wonderful! Incredible!

It was an incredible performance.

That man stole art away from us, just like Prometheus stealing fire!

Look at that woman!

A human being resurrects art.

A woman gives birth to humanity. A great metaphor.

Congratulations. This is excellent.

Bravo!

-So what happened afterwards? -Then in 2001, our business went down.

-Do you have a phone charger? -No.

But you can use my phone if you like.

-No, man, never mind. Drive on. -Okay. I’m taking the first bridge.

Take the first.

The person you have called cannot be reached at the moment. Please try...

Aykut.

Why was your phone turned off?

I’ve been looking for a charger, Nurhan. I couldn’t find a single one.

Is that so? You own a phone shop, and you don’t have a single charger?

We’ve been robbed, you know that! They took away everything.

-Aykut. -Yes?

Auntie Muhteşem was fired. We haven’t been able to reach her since yesterday.

Oh, she was fired? That’s too bad.

Dad asked me to ask you...

...if you have any lawyer friends, but of course you don’t...

Why is a lawyer needed?

There was a robbery or something. And they’re blaming her.

The house owners will file a complaint with the police. We’re devastated. We don’t know what to do.

I don’t know any lawyers, Nurhan.

I’m talking to you about a serious problem, and you’re smiling like an idiot!

I’m happy, Nurhan. I’m getting the insurance payment tomorrow.

Oh, really?

That’s such great news. You know, you’re really something!

Sweetheart, since you’re getting the money...

Shall we visit the jewelry store again tomorrow?

Sure, let’s do it.

That’s my sweetheart! He never disappoints me.

I have to go now. I need to get that sedan chair thing done.

I’m off.

The sedan chair?

Fevzi, do you have a charger?

I do, but it’s a thin pin one.

Those have been off the market for years!

I’ve been selling phones here for six years. You haven’t bought a single phone from me!

-Brother! -Mithat...

-What are you doing here? -I came to visit my brother!

How did you find the place?

My sister, she couldn’t reach you. She asked me to check you out.

Keep smiling!

I’ll show your mom what it means to be ill!

Police! Someone call the police! Taxi!

No need for a taxi. I’ll catch up with them. But who are they?

-Quick! Help me catch them, Mithat. -Jump on, brother! Put on your helmet.

It won’t fit.

-Let me help you. -This helmet won’t fit.

It won’t fit. I’m taking this off. I’m--

Mithat! It’s stuck! Mithat!

It’s stuck!

-Mithat! -It’s alright, brother!

Come on!

There we are! Get off.

Brother, I’m talking to you. We caught up with those men.

Brother, get in there! We’ve got them.

Brother, they’re right there!

The men are right there, brother! Go!

We’re going to lose them!

They’re running away!

Brother!

Yours is a tough profession.

I’m sure all kinds of people come to the emergency room.

What is this?

Muscle spasm caused by sudden stress, sir. His whole body is petrified.

-Take his helmet off! -It won’t come off, sir.

At least open that!

I’ll be right back.

Brother!

(speaking unintelligibly)

What? You want water?

To hell with your bike and your riding!

Sorry, can you get him some water?

No, to hell with your bike and your riding!

Riding...

I see.

(speaking unintelligibly)

Oh God, I hope it won’t stay like that!

You asked me to chase them, brother.

What a clumsy guy you are!

-Okay, don’t say that. -Don’t touch me!

-Does it hurt that much? -Don’t!

Doctor! Will my hands stay like this?

I’m getting married soon.

We gave you a very strong myorelaxant. You’ll be fine within an hour or two.

Thank you, doctor.

-You’re welcome. Get well soon. -Thank you.

And what about the ears, doctor?

You’re stressing yourself too much, brother.

Brother!

Call me!

Goodness!

Do your arms hurt, brother?

Stop messing with me!

Don’t say that, brother.

You’ve really been yearning to have a brother, haven’t you!

It’s like a brother was all you needed in life!

Listen. I’m not angry with you. I’m not cross with you either.

There are things you don’t know. Gülşah will tell you later.

Don’t call me brother again.

-Oh, have you broken up? -Yes, we’ve broken up.

Okay, Aykut.

But you can still call me if you have any problems. I’ll always be there for you.

Thank you. I don’t need anybody.

Aykut...

Thanks.

Aykut, you can join me and my friends tomorrow if you like...

No I won’t! I won’t, Mithat.

-I’ll just talk to Gülşah and leave. -Why?

I have things to do.

Aykut?

Aykut?

Oh no...

Do you know Aykut?

Know him? Of course we know him!

Aykut, what’s going on here?

I need to confess something.

They’re my family!

-Really? -Oh, well!

This is an honor!

-Oh, you! -The honor is ours, sir.

I don’t believe you!

My sweetheart.

-What are you all doing here? -Aykut!

Didn’t you listen to me? I told you, auntie Muhteşem robbed a house.

And this is the house! We came to beg the owners not to complain.

-But I really wasn’t hoping for this! -Me neither!

So they’re here to ask for our daughter’s hand, Şule.

-Have you spoken? -No, we just came here.

We just sat down, and you came right after.

This is a real stroke of luck!

I should go and kiss their hands. I’m already warming up to them!

Mr. Aykut, who are these people?

What a sweet little girl!

My fiancee, and her family! They came to apologize for what Muhteşem did.

-No way! -We’re ruined!

Please, let me kiss your hand.

-Sir, let me kiss your hand too. -Thank you, dear.

-Please, be calm. -I can’t be calm! You ruined my life!

-Oh please. -I really won’t feel at ease otherwise.

Please, calm down.

Auntie, these people came to ask for your hand.

What?

-Who said that? -Grandpa did.

-Gülşah! -Dad?

Please make the coffee.

This is obviously a happy occasion.

-Oh, let me help you with that. -Sit down!

She can make the coffee on her own. She doesn’t need help!

You scared me, Aykut.

No way! I can’t let you do it alone!

-Please, let her do it! -I can’t! Just sit down.

Come on, girl. Let’s make the coffee. This way?

-Yes. -Let’s go.

Let’s make some foamy coffee and get to know each other!

God only knows what they’ll talk about!

Aykut!

Have a seat, son.

Sit down.

So, how have you been, sir?

You and I, we’ll get along so well!

You know, the minute I walked in through the door...

...I thought, “This girl will be like a sister to me.”

Thank you. That’s very kind of you.

I want to bite you! What a sweet and talkative one you are!

-I like that a lot about you. -Really?

-I really love it. -Thank you.

How many is it?

-I don’t know. I haven’t thought about it... -You’re excited.

-I guess so. -Anyway, it’s all about the foam.

-It is, right? -Pour it.

What happened to your arms?

Aykut, is this a performance? Are you trying something new?

It’s spasmatism.

Here comes the coffee.

Here...

Sir...

-Here’s yours. -Thank you, dear.

Thank you.

Don’t you like it?

Well, Mr. Sadi, we’re...

...shocked.

Oh, we’re shocked too. Really.

Me too. I’m shocked too.

It must be so nice to meet one’s child after many years.

Of course it’s nice... It is.

-How did you feel? -When?

As a father, when you first saw Aykut, what was your motivation?

My motivation... Well...

As soon as I saw him, I thought, “This must be my son”.

-Oh, wonderful. -You must have felt it coming.

So you found him first.

No, to tell you the truth, she found him first.

-How did you find him? -Here’s what happened...

God brought us together!

May God almighty never part people and make them miss each other!

-Amen. -Amen.

Anyway, Aykut and Nurhan are...

May God never keep lovers apart...

Amen, amen.

-Amen, Aykut. -Amen.

These are matters of destiny. When Gülşah first introduced Aykut...

May God never separate lovers... Never put between them mountains, hills...

...birds, camels...

Let everyone...

...hear it...

Everyone who may...

...or may not wonder...

-Shut up! -I love her...

-Shut up, son! -I couldn’t go up to the highest note.

He got carried away when we said “amen”...

I tried to go all the way up.

But you went too high too fast.

I normally do it with the diaphragm.

Why don’t you take a deep breath.

Come on, get to the topic.

Aykut, dad will talk about auntie Muhteşem now. Try to play along, okay?

-It’s her fault for stealing! -Aykut!

-Well, the purpose of our visit must be clear. -It’s clear, sir.

Before you get to the main subject, please excuse me.

I have to leave. Good night everyone.

I’m feeling a little ill too...

He’s a bit ill...

-Hope he gets well soon. -Thank you.

Mr. Sadi, we’re very embarrassed.

-Why, sir? -You’ve given this woman a warm shelter.

You’ve given her an opportunity.

How can that silly woman disappoint such a nice family!

-I’m going to be sick. -We’re not disappointed, sir. To the contrary...

-...we’re happy. -So...

...are you saying you will not be complaining?

Why would we complain?

Oh, thank God! We were so afraid you’d go to the police.

But we have Aykut among us now. No need for the police.

-No need for the police. -No police...

-No police... -No pol--

Napoli, Inter, Milan! Italian football is on the rise!

What are you talking about?

-Turn on the TV! There’s a match! -Please sir, continue.

Since there is no complaint, please excuse us now.

But why?

Where are you going?

You should observe the customs, sir.

You came without notice. At least do this by the customs.

What else do you expect us to do, sir?

We gave you our apologies.

-We asked to be excused. -Sir...

...you should ask the question to our daughter, not us.

Your daughter?

Dear...

Can we go?

Well, yes...

-Okay, we’re excused. -Oh, come on!

You really have no idea how to do this! Şule, I can’t wait any longer.

I’ll do my part.

You have permission!

-Okay, we’re excused. Let’s go. -Kiss our hands.

Oh, sir!

-Why didn’t you say that before! -Kiss my hand and let’s go.

Let me kiss yours too.

-Congratulations. -Come on girl, let’s hug.

This way, sir.

Please.

Sir, we can talk about the details later in person.

No need for details, sir. We came by metrobus, and we’ll go back the same way.

Aykut, you call me later.

I’m going to thank you tomorrow.

Good night.

-Good night. -Good night.

You ruined me!

-But I called you! -Congratulations!

-I called you! -Don’t you say a word!

You know why? Because I’ll believe you!

Here’s where trying to get your family to hate me got us!

God only knows what I’ve gone through!

I’ve had enough! I’m not doing anything else!

Nothing! It’s over. I don’t forgive you.

I swear to God!

-Whatever happens... -He never stops!

-None of you ever asked me... -This man is born to create!

-I’ve been waiting... -He’s a magical man!

I asked for a girl’s hand next to my fiancee! This is something that’s never happened before!

I will not forgive you!

God almighty!

So you were kidnapped when you were three.

And the woman you knew as your mother came and took you from the orphanage.

What a life, dad!

Who knows what kind of life he’d have lived if he hadn’t been kidnapped!

In that case, we wouldn’t have had...

-...a great son-in-law like him, İhsan. -Right.

Oh, they sat my Aykut on the best seat!

He looks so good there!

Aykut...

While preparing the breakfast, I was thinking...

“Perhaps Aykut’s father will get us a house as a gift...

...when we get married.” Right, Aykut?

-A house? No way. -Really, no way.

We have a large house. You’ll move in and live here.

That’s a great idea. Living in the same house with my mother-in-law!

-Sorry. That’s really not for me. -YOU MUST COME TO THE OFFICE RIGHT AWAY

-I just can’t do it. -Perhaps we should open you a car gallery.

-It’s really popular these days. -I have to go.

Come on.

-Mom and dad are waiting. -Give them our regards.

Aykut, wait. I’ll see you off.

What else should I do to please him?

I guess he didn’t like the idea. Should we get a minibus instead?

-Where is Ms. Gülşah’s office? -Do you have an appointment?

Of course not. Who am I to have an appointment? She just calls me to places and I come!

Ms. Gülşah! I’m tired of your imposing attitude!

You messed up my life! You ruined my life!

What have I ever asked of you? I fell in love. I wanted to settle down.

I wanted to have a family.

What happened then? We promised to get married.

Just when we were making marriage plans...

You refused to sign for me.

You gave me so much hope. What happened to all our promises?

I want to get married! I want a wedding. Where’s the shame in that?

I come to you, ask you to sign, and you keep giving me conditions.

Don’t give me that act. I’m right!

Stop wasting this poor man’s time.

Make up your mind.

Will you give me your signature or not?

Of course she will!

She’ll put her signature, and that wedding will happen!

That’s my brother!

As long as you’re my brother, I have nothing to fear.

You should always have some fear...

-I don’t have any either. -I feel great now.

Come on, let’s celebrate this properly.

-Come on. -Come on.

Bravo.

Let’s have dinner outside first, then celebrate together at home.

-Mr. Sadi, I have some work to do. -Get him in! Get him in!

Okay, I was kidding. Come on, get in.

How did you know it was my birthday today?

My sister got you a present. She left it on the table.

-How did you know? -The date was written on the report.

When I learned about it, I insisted that we make a surprise for you.

Of course, my sister said “No way!” at first, but...

...I still brought the family together. What do you think? Great idea, isn’t it?

Great idea, Mithat.

I really shouldn’t bother you.

Oh, of course you won’t bother us.

We’ll talk about art, and humanity.

I have a lot to do tomorrow. It will be hard to get back.

-Come on, brother. I’ll give you a lift on my bike. -Please, enough with that already!

Okay, we won’t insist.

-Good evening, son. -Good evening, Mr. Sad.

I really didn’t want to bother them any more.

They’ve been trying to make me happy all day.

And Nurhan might call me soon.

She must have made preparations for the birthday.

Suit yourself.

-Don’t get wet. -Thank you. I’ll bring it back tomorrow.

Okay.

She’s calling right now.

-Hello? -Hello...

Aykut, do you know what day it is today?

What day is it?

Weren’t we getting mom’s wedding dress today?

I forgot about that.

Okay, I’m hanging up now. I’m busy. Bye.

The rain stopped, so I thought I’d bring your umbrella back.

And since you made the preparations...

Happy birthday Aykut!

-Congratulations, brother! -Make a wish!

Let’s take a photo.

Smile!

Okay.

Thank you very much, Ms. Sude.

And here’s my gift.

-Happy birthday, brother. -Thank you.

-She touched me! -She did...

So, who wants to play charades?

Me!

Me!

Three words...

The first one...

It’s a man!

-Oh, it’s... -Meet the Parents!

-It’s big... -Meow...

Not the same one?

Well done, dad!

No.

Two words.

The King of the Street Cleaners!

-That’s... -My favorite film!

Mine too!

-The brothers were so funny. -Right, the fighting...

I think that’s the funniest scene.

-So, you want me to teach you a game? -Okay.

Come on, brother, teach us.

-It’s called Crack the Whip! -What?

Give me something I can blindfold myself with.

Does anyone not know the game?

-Me. -It’s very easy.

You’ll learn it in no time.

We used to play it in my village. Here’s what you do.

Headman, headman! Keep your rooster!

Vay vay vay vay.

The headman’s roosters Stole away the chickens

The headman put the rooster Into a coop

The rooster ran away from the coop He killed everyone’s chickens

Gone, gone are the chickens!

Rooster, come out! Rooster, come out!

Who has their eyes open?

-Mom! -It’s you! You!

Are you alright?

Have you gone crazy?

-But she had to do like that! I told you... -Aykut!

-She had to do that! -Mom!

Call a doctor!

Open your eyes...

My family gave you a birthday party, and you beat them up with a belt!

Don’t say that, Ms. Gülşah.

-We were playing. That’s the game. -What a crazy game!

It’s actually more fun with a crowd.

-I’m sorry. -She almost went blind.

Your family are the sweetest people I’ve ever known.

I’d never want to upset them.

-But anyway, they won’t want to see me again. -Let’s hope so.

Because otherwise, their lives are in danger!

Please, Ms. Gülşah. The game may be my fault...

...but whose fault is it that things came this far?

Yours! You just couldn’t make them hate you.

You arrange dinners with my dad. You tell them we’re engaged.

Your aunt steals from our house.

-She’s not my aunt! -I don’t care whose aunt she is!

If it doesn’t work this time, let’s stop trying.

Let’s just talk to your father. Tell your family the truth.

We can’t do that. Things have gotten too far.

Besides, you don’t know how they are. They’ll be very sad.

Dad will be very sad.

No, you don’t know your dad!

I shoot him with a shotgun, and he says “That’s my boy!”

What kind of a family is this!

I shoot them, they say “Well done!” I break things, they say “Break some more!”

I say “I’m dying”, and they want to celebrate!

I say “I should go”, and they raise a toast!

They’re always happy! It’s like they have all the happiness reserves of the country!

Your family is making me really anxious.

Aykut! You and I, we should do something new! We’ll make the art work go crazy. What do you say?

Şule, come on!

-Let’s do it. Call me. -Come on, have some rest.

They must think I’m a messiah!

I just don’t understand this family.

Oh sweetheart!

We chose the cake, but...

...I’m sure your folks won’t like it.

-Who are my folks? -Your mom and dad, of course! Who else!

Oh, Aykut...

I wish you found your parents a few months ago...

They could’ve helped us a bit.

We got everything we need ourselves, Nurhan. What more do you want?

You have no idea what kind of weddings the rich have!

-Oh no... -Be grateful that your sweetheart...

...has tricks of her own. I’ve got my own agent in the family!

-An agent? -Come here, girl! We’re here!

Here comes my lovely sister-in-law!

Come here, girl! Don’t stay away.

We’re relatives now. Let’s kiss and greet, right?

Come here.

But Aykut, why are you sulking?

Gülşah, we chose our wedding cake, but I’m really not sure.

It looks a bit tacky to me. What do you think?

No, the cake is great, Nurhan. It’s all good.

Aykut got the best one again.

Oh, you’ve really relieved me, girl.

Okay, so you two wait here and chat.

And I’ll go in and buy the cake.

What’s going on?

Your fiancee called me, so I had to come!

You shouldn’t have!

-What was I supposed to do? Tell her I’m not your sister? -That’s right!

-I’m playing along. What more do you want? -Don’t! Don’t play along!

She keeps calling me all the time!

Look at them! You two are so sweet!

Gülşah, you know what... Aykut, you listen too.

You know what I’ve been thinking?

I’ve had a lot of time to think, you know.

Perhaps once we’re married, Aykut’s family will give him...

...a management position, make him a CEO or whatever...

...and he’ll get rid of this silly job.

I like my job, Nurhan. What’s silly about it?

Come on, Aykut. You sell phone cases! That’s not a job!

-He’s surprised... -Nurhan...

It’s a virtue to stand on your own feet.

I too got my own job, independently of my family.

Oh, girl... She’s such a smart girl, Aykut.

Gülşah, believe me, I tell him the same thing.

I tell him he should be more aggressive. You know, in the job market...

But you know how he is.

Withdrawn. Shy.

Nurhan, we’re sorry...

Brother Aykut...

...dad is calling us.

-Really? -Yes.

Okay. Let’s go, sister Gülşah.

Aykut...

Dad has been talking about shutting down the construction site in Kazakhstan.

He thinks we should focus on the communication business...

...rather than waste money there. Right? Perhaps the meeting is about that.

Right. It must be.

Come on, go. Don’t keep dad waiting.

Dad will think you’re a naughty boy.

Don’t keep him waiting.

Goodbye.

But this thing doesn’t look like us! My Aykut isn’t nearly that tall!

You’re really good at lying. I’ve seen that again today.

My name is Aykut Aslan. Lies are my...

...habit. Lying has become a habit in me!

Since I met you, everything I say sounds like lie to me. You’ve ruined me!

-I’ve ruined you? -Yes, you!

Things weren’t supposed to come this far. We were supposed to get it over with.

You just couldn’t do it.

-I couldn’t do it? -You couldn’t make them hate you.

I punched your brother. I hit your sister with a pitcher!

I broke the sculptures. And believe it or not, I shot your father with a shotgun!

Should I have done something to your mother too?

-Forgive me God... -Watch your mouth! Do you hear what you’re saying?

Should I get Mithat into gambling? Should I give drugs to Sude?

You say I couldn’t make them hate me. These people have no hate in them!

Once this is over, I don’t even want to see your face!

Is this what I think it is?

Great.

Aykut!

Aykut.

Aykut, are you alright?

The quince tree has blossomed Is is summer yet?

This is the top selling model of last year.

Nice.

Aykut, please calm down!

Hello! Have a nice day.

Oh.

Welcome.

Welcome.

The hall...

For the wedding...

Ours?

I’ve always meant to do this. Perhaps I should do it today!

A new performance!

-Don’t be silly! Stop it! -Let me go!

-I can’t think of anything else to do! -No way! Don’t be silly.

-Let’s get this thing over with! -Aykut, what’s going on?

Oh, I’m really sorry.

Who are you?

What is he saying?

What is this place?

Sir, this is the Rüstem Pasha Mansion.

Rüstem Pasha? Right. Where is he? Bring me Rüstem Pasha!

Bring Rüstem Pasha to me!

Sir, Rüstem Pasha is dead.

Shame on you! The man is dead, and you’re hosting weddings here!

He didn’t build this place for you to host weddings in it!

I reject such betrayal!

One more time and loudly, for Rüstem Pasha!

Teach us, educate us!

And make us useful for our country!

Aykut, enough!

You said enough!

Aykut is not my boyfriend!

What?

What is he saying?

You pushed me too much.

I don’t know, I just had to pretend he was.

Do you even know what you’ve done?

-Sadi, wait... -I can’t wait!

Sadi, don’t be mad. We’ll talk and cry at home.

We’ve lost a great artist!

I’m so, so sad.

Shame on you!

Shame on you!

The wedding is tomorrow, so I thought I’d get him to hate me...

Why did you say it?

It was the right thing to do. Since the beginning.

It’s my fault.

What will you tell your family?

Why do you care?

Why? Wasn’t this what you wanted anyway?

I couldn’t have let you mistreat my family any more!

You embarrassed me!

You’ve been dragging me around like refugees whose passports have been taken!

Then you hold me responsible. You’re making me lie!

I almost lost everyone I had in my life.

You know what, this is why you have nobody!

Because you’re afraid of losing everyone in your life. You try to get along with everyone.

You’re blind. You’re so rude, but only to my family.

I’m the only one you’re not afraid of losing, Aykut.

Well, wasn’t this what we were trying to do in the first place?

I guess so. But that’s different.

Do you think this is easy for me, Gülşah?

I have a wedding tomorrow.

You keep talking about your wedding!

You think it’s only your life that’s hard.

It’s only you who’s going through unthinkable things!

You’re blind!

Stop calling me blind, Gülşah. Don’t you understand me?

I told you, I made a promise. It’s you who can’t see my feelings for...

Here. Your report.

Like I promised.

You keep your promise too.

I wish you the best.

WE’RE GETTING MARRIED

WE’RE HAPPY

Bride!

Aykut!

Auntie Muhteşem!

My kind hearted one!

Aykut...

I can’t believe how I gave in to the temptation.

I’m so embarrassed.

Look, it’s all here. I haven’t even touched them.

-Take them back. -Okay.

Look, I live my life for my honor.

I’ll never let anyone blame me for nothing.

I have to go now. They might need me down there.

Oh, and there’s this.

I wouldn’t bother with it, but when I noticed it was a will...

...I thought I’d bring it to you.

-Whose will is it? -Read it.

You’re like a son to them. You should demand your share.

Okay? Make sure you do.

WILL AND TESTAMENT

And don’t ever forget auntie Muhteşem’s favor.

I bequeath all the personal and real estate property I own...

...to my granddaughter Gülşah Atabeyoğlu...

...on the condition that she gets married by May 2020.

Otherwise, my inheritance is to be donated to the charities listed below.

Hatice Taşdik.

Dear...

Mom!

Where is this guy?

I don’t know. He won’t answer his phone.

You’ll make me sell that bike in the end!

Why, dad? I use protection.

-What? -I mean, I wear a helmet.

You rascal!

Aykut.

You’re here!

Oh, my brother is here!

Welcome... Son.

I liked all of you!

I acted like the man I was. I poured my heart out to you.

You were the first people to ever celebrate my birthday.

I thought you all were real.

I thought that despite all I did, you loved me back.

Money conquers everything!

It never stopped troubling me.

Right, crazy boy?

Here.

Here’s your gift. You can give it to your real “brother”.

Right, Dilşah?

Ms. Sude...

I read thirteen pages of the book you gave me.

I didn’t understand a word, but I still read it.

Because it was the first book I ever got as a gift.

And it’s you whom I despise the most, Ms. Gülşah. You really made me love you.

You really made a fool of me.

“Let’s make my family hate you.” “Let’s make plans.”

“Let’s lie to dad.”

Of course you knew I’d fall in love with you in the meantime.

But don’t worry, you’ll get the inheritance. It’s not like you can’t find another man.

For you it’s all about the money, and...

-Get out of my house. -Alright.

Dad...

Dear, we were going to tell you about the will.

But when you brought this boy, we thought you were getting married anyway.

There wasn’t much sense in telling you beforehand.

I’m not after the money either.

Your grandmother left it all to you anyway.

We were going to give it to you.

Our business isn’t doing well, Gülşah.

-We’re in a tough situation, so... -Come on, dad!

You told us you loved this boy.

So? You lied to us too.

I never lied to you.

Well done, dad. Was it worth it?

Was it worth hurting Gülşah, and an orphaned man?

Let’s go, dear.

-Isn’t that him? -Oh, he’s here.

Where have you been, brother?

Aykut!

Aykut, where have you been! I’ve been going crazy here.

-I’m here, Nurhan. -Where is Mr. Sadi and the others?

They’re a bit busy. They’ll be coming late.

What? We told everyone they were coming.

We told them they’re a rich family. And luxury cars will come.

There will be a convoy. My father did all the preparations.

Preparations?

That’s right.

Here comes the bride!

Lift her!

Keep it steady! I’m excited here.

Nurhan, what is that!

What’s wrong with it? Don’t you like it?

We need to talk.

Aykut, this is not a bus! I can’t just get off!

Everyone is family here. Just say it.

I’m not getting the insurance money.

Oh, Aykut! You’re an Atabeyoğlu now!

You have a fortune!

We don’t need your silly credit and the few pennies you’ve saved!

Look into my eyes.

Come closer.

Aykut, you’ve been getting more and more handsome by the day!

Look at the man I’m marrying!

Nurhan, I can’t marry you.

You should find someone like yourself.

What?

By the way, I’m not the son of the Atabeyoğlu family.

And I’m an orphan. Thank God.

He’s shocked her!

I’ll shock him now! You just wait!

-Enough with your nonsense! -Get out of here!

Come and kill me!

-Let me go! -Let him go...

Enough! God, take my life and end my misery!

None of you ever asked me, “Aykut, are you alright?”

“Son, do you need anything?”

“Aykut, is there anything we can do to help?”

You’re all about the money! All about power! You care about nothing but your own interests!

What happened to us?

What happened to humanity?

Fuat, you tell them. Fevzi, you tell them. These people don’t hear me.

For God’s sake!

I just want some understanding. Some tolerance. Don’t you have a bit of compassion left in you?

Answer me! Don’t you?

If you don’t, just say you don’t!

Who throws a sedan chair at another man!

They threw a drummer at me!

And who throws a man at another man!

Why all this aggression? What happened to people’s conscience?

Stop following me!

-Brother! -Mithat!

-Open the window! -Brother, come in!

Mithat, you’re really something! Step on it!

Why did you do that?

Did he call him brother?

Where is Gülşah?

Gülşah is very upset with you, Aykut.

No, I’m upset with her!

She made a fool of me!

If you’re talking about the inheritance, that’s my father’s fault.

-She didn’t even know about it. -Is that right, Mithat?

-Unfortunately, brother. -Oh no. I was so harsh on Gülşah, then.

I really broke her heart.

Dilşah, I was going to get married tonight. But I couldn’t. Do you understand me?

No.

Oh, right. You were angry.

-Brother, wait! -I threw the ring away!

Because I love Gülşah!

-Okay. -I’m not getting married!

Okay, but you have to tell her that. Because she doesn’t know.

Come on, Mithat. She’s like an angel. Why would she love me?

We don’t understand why either.

That insinuating voice...

-Ms. Sude! Were you in the car too? -Right.

So where is Gülşah? I should apologize to her.

She got her ticket. She’s going abroad tonight.

-Which country? -Does that matter?

You have a point. What time?

-At eight. -Eight!

How come! It’s nine!

I’m kidding. It’s at eleven.

-I’ll kill you! -Stop it!

This is no time to joke, Mithat!

Look out!

-We almost had an accident! -Come on, drive!

I’m not going to miss happiness this time!

-Go! Run! -I’ll go and bring Gülşah back!

-Run, run! -Gülşah, wait for me!

What do you mean it was Sabiha Gökçen Airport?

I’m sorry. I couldn’t think of that, brother.

When I say “airport”, I think of Atatürk Airport.

We all think of Atatürk Airport, Mithat...

...but why didn’t you check the ticket! We let her go!

Don’t be sad, Aykut. There’s nothing we can do. She’s gone.

-It just wasn’t meant to be. -She wouldn’t have forgiven me anyway.

That’s what it feels like when your loved ones disappoint you.

-I’m upset with my aunt too. -Why are you upset with her?

The dance contest! We were going to compete, even though we knew we’d lose.

Everyone will make fun of me.

I could train you, Ms. Sude, but I guess the rules require someone from the family...

Thank you, Mr. Aykut. It’s kind of you to suggest.

You’re welcome, Ms. Sude.

-So, shall we go now? -Let’s go.

Let’s go.

Let’s keep this team together, though.

Of course. You have a special place in my heart.

I’ll remind you of that, brother!

Let’s go.

Do you know that song...

-Which one? -By Ruhi Su...

-I know it! -You’re really a special child, Ms. Sude.

ONE MONTH LATER

Welcome to the 15th İstanbul Varlık College Traditional Dance Contest!

-Mom, do you think we should withdraw? I can’t do this. -I can’t either.

We told them he was her uncle. It’ll be a disaster if they find out.

Don’t be silly. You’ve been rehearsing for months!

We’ll keep that “uncle” matter between us.

I haven’t done this dance for years. We should have chosen something else.

We should have?

I didn’t like it!

Everyone is doing the popping dance with their dad!

Uncle Mithat just told me I was “Walking around like an Albanian bride”!

-Is that what you said? -Yes.

Don’t listen to him.

-The Caucasian dances are very special. -So stop complaining.

Okay, don’t mind me. I need to drink some water first.

Yes, that would be good.

-Sorry, where is the backstage? -Up ahead.

Thank you.

Your aunt is here. Gülşah is here!

Calm down. So what if she’s here!

-You’re here! -I’m here.

-Sister, welcome! -My dear!

-Gülşah, my dear! -My dear!

I’m so sorry for not being there for you. But I’ve been following you.

I came here to applaud you today. Is that okay?

It’s enough that you came.

Aykut did so much for us.

-She rehearsed with Aykut. He never left us alone. -Thank you.

Sude, you can come with me. It’s your turn.

Come on. Take your hat.

So, we’re going. You’ll join us, okay?

-Good luck! -Thank you!.

Brother!

How are you?

Oh, hello. How are you? When did you come?

I see you still couldn’t get my family to hate you.

Since I couldn’t, I just let things slide.

You’ve always been good for our family.

-Don’t say that. I didn’t do anything. -No, you have.

I just like being there for them. That’s all.

Good.

So, I’ll go. They’re waiting for me.

Okay.

Aykut.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Ms. Sude!

Yes, Mr. Aykut?

If we fail, will you be cross with me?

Mr. Aykut, we started rehearsing with Atabarı.

I said, “We’ll take this all the way.”

We had a wonderful period, thank God.

We danced so well. How many rehearsals did we have?

-Seventeen? Eighteen? -Eighteen.

And now, we’re in the final.

I’m telling you, we will win. We’ll do our best to win.

But no matter what happens, in my heart, you’re always the winner. Always the champion.

And you will remain so, uncle! May God be on your side!

Uncle?

You were never angry with me, no matter what I did to you.

You insisted on loving me. Shall I give you a secret?

When little girls like a man a lot, they keep teasing him.

That sometimes applies to big girls too.

Thanks to all our contestants.

And now, the final duo.

Let’s invite Sude and her uncle Aykut on the dance floor.

Come on!

-Go ahead, Aykut! -We trust you!

You’re the man!

Dear parents, the jury has assessed all the contestants.

Once again, we’d like to thank everyone who joined.

I hope everyone had fun, and had a good time with their children.

Now, the results.

This year’s champions of the Varlık College 15th Dance Contest...

The champions of this year’s contest are...

Sude and her uncle Aykut!

We won!

Did you hug me because you forgive me, or because we won?

Why did you enter the contest?

Will you leave again?

No.

Can we have the champions on stage for the photo shoot?

Come on, it’s photo time!

Mithat, Mr. Sadi, come on. Not without you!

-Me too? -Altogether!

Come here

Here, mom!

Sude!

You’re so sweet!

Sorry, but we’re photographing the champions only.

We’re only champions with our family. Take our picture together!
