two girls discover the secret of life

in an unexpected line of poetry

No one has ever missed another so much.

I long for every part of you.

I want your hands, your knees, your groin, your curves, your lips....

your body hair, how you look, how you smell, your whispers....

every cell from the crown of your head to your toes...

and every word, every movement, every sound becomes a part of me....

And stays with me.

You are still mine. You're still inside me.

Reyhan.

Yes?

Don't say you don't recognize me.

I don't recognize you.

Don't you recognize your childhood friend?

No, sorry. And maybe I don't want to.

You have a heart-shaped birthmark on your abdomen.

Here.

What do you want from me, Eren?

Where have your manners gone?

When you see your childhood friend sees again after all these years...

then you at least go drink tea, right?

Okay, then we'll have tea.

How's it going?

Eren is a childhood friend. Gökhan. -Hello.

We're going to have tea. -Sure, go ahead.

I came back to Turkey last year.

I was in Paris. I studied psychology.

My doctoral degree was on Lacan.

But I never worked as a psychologist.

I was in advertising for a while.

I lived there for twenty years. Then you do become a native.

Last year, my mother became ill.

So then I came back.

Shortly thereafter, she passed away. -Congratulations.

Thank you.

I had nothing more to do in France.

Nothing at all.

I have no idea. Maybe I'll go back, I don't know.

How did you find me?

Social media.

I don't do social media. Silly stuff. -Don't have to.

A friend of mine went to the island.

She took a selfie at your booth.

He's blurry, but I recognized you immediately.

That's not my stall, but Gökhan's. I help him sometimes.

Why were you looking for me? What do you want from me?

I have never forgotten you.

What?

I have never forgotten you.

What about me haven't you forgotten? -Everything.

Your smell...

Your touch, our conversations... Please, Reyhan. Please.

I have been living towards this for days. Let me talk and explain.

Listen, I thought after all these years....

That I had forgotten.

I thought.

That it was crush love and that it was over.

It's not. I've never forgotten it.

I've been with a lot of men.

I got married. Once.

An American who lived in Paris. An asshole, so I got divorced.

It was never like it was with you again.

Reyhan, I still love you.

Don't you have anything to say?

Is this a joke?

Shall we go? Or I'll go, if you...

I've been with other women. That came to nothing.

With you, it was different.

Don't follow me. -Reyhan, listen.

No, you listen to me.

We just messed around as teenagers. We were still young.

How can you as a grown woman show up now and say this?

I am a wreck. I thought about it for days.

At most, I make a fool of myself. So what? I don't care.

Reyhan. -Reyhan, Reyhan.

Look at me. Go on, look.

Is this the Reyhan from your fantasy? I am twenty years older.

Do I look like the Reyhan you knew? -No.

Okay, no. You've gotten older.

Me too. Both of us.

But that's how I love you, too.

You want that girl from before.

Come on. Don't you remember what we did?

No. We didn't do anything. -Nothing done?

Shall I tell you? So that you remember?

What you did with me. And I with you.

We were just kids. We were stupid. And it passed.

It's behind me. I had no other women.

Because you loved me.

From you? Go away. -We promised each other so much.

Letters, songs. I made cassette tapes for you.

Every song was special. Don't you remember?

Cassette tapes? No. That's kid stuff.

So why don't I forget?

Reyhan, I can't get you out of my head. It's like I'm enchanted.

What day is it today?

Thursday? -Yes, why?

Come with me and we'll talk.

You don't like my house. That's obviously beneath you.

Is Gökhan your husband?

No.

Your lover?

We live together. This is his house.

There is bleach on your skirt.

There is bleach on your skirt.

I hadn't seen that. Gökhan didn't say anything either.

Leave this life behind. Go with me.

Leave this life behind. Go with me.

What is your business here?

Eren, we would talk. -We do, don't we?

No, not like that.

Listen, today is Thursday... -Let that be.

Reyhan, this is not your life. What are you doing in this gang?

Life offered me no red carpet. My father was not a minister.

And I did get a red carpet? That's what you think.

Do you have any idea of the mire that lies underneath?

Reyhan, you are the smartest....

funniest and biggest bon vivant I know.

Thanks to you, I discovered a treasure trove of poets and writers.

And look at this. There is not a single book in this house.

With every move I left a bookcase.

The few I still had, got damaged last year.

I'm brain dead anyway.

How can you accept such a life?

How can you give yourself up? Someone like you...

Enough.

We can't even talk. -We do, don't we?

No, you're not listening. Shut up and listen.

You didn't come to me.

Excuse me? -You didn't come here by choice.

Why, did someone send me?

The spell sent you. -What?

I cast a spell on you.

What kind of spell?

A love spell.

According to Aliye, you were come on a Thursday.

At first I waited every Thursday. Later I no longer thought about it.

You came today, on a Thursday.

Who is Aliye?

An islander.

She has tremendous powers. Her spells always work.

A magic spell.

You cast a spell On me.

When was that?

About twenty years ago.

A saying from twenty years ago is only now coming true?

How can you believe in that?

Aliye said on a Thursday. And you come on a Thursday.

Come on. I really don't believe in that.

It doesn't matter. -It's nonsense.

Downright nonsense.

A human being, by the way. Suddenly I think of it again.

Remember when you had a riddle for me? In bed.

A riddle?

You told a riddle, right before my mother caught us.

I didn't know the answer. -What riddle was it?

Which creature first has four legs, then two...

and then three?

A human being.

It turns out to be an acquaintance.

I came across it once. Everybody knows it. It is something Greek.

What brought me here, Reyhan ...

is something you did did twenty years ago.

But not the spell.

My mother gave me these Just before she died.

She hid them for years.

You wrote so beautifully.

If you wrote books, you'd be a teen idol.

"Your hands I miss the most. Your beautiful fingers."

"On my forehead, on my lips And all over my body."

"Your hands had an indescribable power."

"It was like holding the world held in your hands."

That's really beautiful.

No one has ever said anything about my hands.

You didn't answer one.

But I've only just got them.

My mother hid them.

Your father directed all his anger at us. He fired my father.

They sent me to Ankara and then to Paris to study.

Firing him was bad enough, but he couldn't stand that we lived here.

Your father even threatened my father.

We had to move to a basement in Pendik.

I became incredibly antagonistic.

I took a whole box of sleeping pills from my mother.

I just survived.

For many years I not being able to come here.

Then I came one summer.

In the meantime, the earthquake of 1999 had been.

We sold the summer house and were done with the island.

You weren't there.

What did you expect?

That they would approve?

That they would celebrate our wedding?

You are the daughter of Hikmet Kocabas and I simply of Hüseyin.

A crazy wild man.

Street poor, but you don't think like that.

Something like, you know. Rich girl...

falls for poor girl.

A perfect melodrama.

I loved you. -Really didn't.

I loved you. -You went away and forgot me.

My father started drinking And beat me every day.

That man despised me. In the end, I walked away.

I couldn't study. Everything went up in smoke.

On the day we were caught, everything just stopped...

And that's where it stopped.

At that time, I was going to writing those letters.

Like I was talking to you.

It healed me.

And then you say that we weren't in love.

I was in love, though.

Totally madly in love.

And because of that my life went to shit.

Go away, please.

Please, go away, please.

I know them all by heart.

I'm not leaving without you.

If you don't go, I'll go.

Now it's just about us, Reyhan.

All the Kocabas are dead and buried. First my father. This year my mother.

Nothing stands in our way anymore. No one left to ruin our lives.

It's just you and me now. We are starting over.

Come and live with me. I live in Bebek.

For now. We can live wherever we want.

Even abroad.

You dreamed of Italy. You probably haven't been there.

We'll take a trip around the world if you like.

It's also good if you want to live somewhere quiet.

I'm okay with that, too. Whatever you want.

You were always crazy and you still are.

Do you realize what you are saying? Do you realize?

Yes. Every second we're not together is a mistake.

They forced us to stand still. But we can change that now.

Is it that easy?

No thinking. There is no "us.

I thought I was going crazy, but you are insane.

These are the bare facts: We were children.

Our hormones then ran wild....

And we lost ourselves in dreams. Those dreams they threw away.

You haven't seen me for twenty years. No phone calls, no letters.

You can't come and think that we're picking it up now.

My father died in a poorhouse. I didn't hear that until later.

Your father had me followed And had me fired everywhere.

I was living in fear.

My father was a powerful man, but he wasn't behind everything.

How could he get you fired? -No idea, but he did.

I was a secretary in a can factory and my boss said.

That I was blacklisted.

Who else could have done that? -My father is dead, Reyhan. Relax.

I was relieved when he was dead.

Only then did I dare to come to come to the island.

Nothing more stands in our way. We can start again.

Starting over? -Yes.

Really? -Yes.

The way I am now? -What's wrong with that?

I am going insane. I can't focus, I can't do anything.

I get my grandfather's pension and Gökhan barely earns anything.

Do you know how much I have per month? 150 lira.

That's about 20 euros. That's all I have. How do you find that?

Reyhan is no longer there. She is gone, turned to dust.

In all those twenty years, you did nothing to find Reyhan.

Now you come, you have money, a house in Bebek...

And I get to be your slave. -What?

Then I won't say yes, will I? -Sloof? I didn't say that.

Yes. -I didn't mean it that way.

You said it sweetly. -Sleeve. I would never say that.

What kind of sick minds teach you such words?

What is mine is also yours. I ask you to share that with me.

You dumped me. -No.

Yep. -No.

You did nothing when Your father chased me away.

They didn't let me go. -You could have come running away.

But you were too scared. You delivered me at your father's mercy.

Did you think they didn't didn't hurt me?

They treated me rotten Until I got married.

They forced me to take pills and locked me in the house.

I threatened my father threatened him with a knife.

I would have killed him if they had had let me. Do you hear me?

You led the best part of your life without me.

No. The best part of my life I spent with you.

We have said enough.

Sorry I brought you all the way to here.

Forgive me, that spell was silly, but then again, I was only young.

Forget that spell, Reyhan. I came here of my own free will.

There is no spell. Forget it quickly.

If it was, what am I doing here? -Go away.

Take the ferry and leave.

Forget me and don't come again.

My life is ruined because of you. -Cruined? Why?

We can still save our lives.

I have a little peace here. Don't mess that up. Go away, please.

Please.

Go away.

How many times did we tell each other That we loved each other?

Though we whispered, our voices reached a corner of heaven.

They must still be heard somewhere.

Dear passengers, the ferry from Kadiköy-Eminönü has left.

Don't board anymore.

We loved each other And longed for each other.

That could never just suddenly be over?

Or is it?

Hello.

How are you? -Well.

Is your girlfriend gone again? -Yes.

Who is this friend?

From high school.

In Pendik. I haven't seen her for twenty years.

Are you hungry? -No, I ate kebab in town.

My shoulder is stuck. Would you like to massage?

Yes.

Here? -There, yes.

So you didn't leave.

I'm almost going, waiting for the boat.

Meanwhile, have a cup of tea.

Tea?

So you are childhood friends? -Yes.

How so? I mean, it's weird that you guys know each other.

Why?

You are not from here.

Reyhan's father managed our summer house.

He did the maintenance, the garden, everything.

It was down the street. Every summer we were together.

You're not like them either. -How do you mean?

No one would see you together as a couple.

Did Reyhan spend her childhood on the island?

Yes, we were attached to each other. Very close.

That's what women have. Hard to understand.

I told her everything. My parents, how I got here....

Why I quit school, that I stopped drinking.

Everything. Every detail.

But who knows what she didn't tell me?

Anyway, I'll ask that tonight. Then she can tell me.

Don't you want to get married?

I love it, but Reyhan doesn't. She says we are too old.

If it were up to me, I'd have three kids.

I'll just go again. -You still have time.

I want to go up the hill some more.

Thanks. For the tea.

On summer evenings I would wait In my room for your whistle.

Sometimes you didn't come.

Then I heard laughter, voices and the sound of cutlery from the garden.

And I smoke raki and grilled meat.

Sometimes your whistle sounded Like a frolicking little bird at the door.

Then I was the happiest person in the world.

Move over, lady, I have to mop the stairs.

Hello.

Sorry.

Do you live here?

Yes. We recently moved.

My husband had been saving And gave me a surprise.

For my birthday.

Girl, are you crazy? How could I live here?

I am the cleaning lady. -I work for TV.

We are looking for locations for a series. -Really?

Which series? And on what channel? -May I take a look inside?

The owner is not here. Then I can't let you in, can I?

What is your name?

Necla. -Necla.

Here, a little something.

I just look around. No one sees it.

You're not knocking me down to rob the house like on TV?

No, you seem like a good person.

There are hidden cameras, then you know.

Mr. Fikret usually works all day here.

Staff used to live here.

If only we could still do that.

Two small rooms, but spotless. No boats going up and down.

We can plant tomatoes here. Even raise chickens.

Have a nice day -What is it? Don't you like it?

It doesn't fit our story.

Dear residents. Today between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.,...

and with the support of the youth association of the island of Burgaz...

stands the blood bank van of Red Cross in Atatürk Square....

Undo that spell. I can't stand it anymore.

You didn't believe in magic spells, did you?

But you do.

It's all right.

Come here, lie down.

Go ahead, lie down.

Take a breath.

It's all right. Relax.

I am waiting on the shore of the island

and I always look out for you

Dearest, I ask you

cheer me up for your own good

Many songs have been written About island loves.

And what loves there have been.

So many lovers waiting On the shore.

And I... I look from a distance At the island and think of you.

You're in every nook and cranny on the island.

I like the flowers Because you like them.

I like the cats Because you like them.

I miss it all as I miss you.

Hello?

We are doing just fine.

Remember my friend? She missed the boat last night.

She's here again. We had tea and stuff.

No, she doesn't keep eating. She's going again.

Maybe a little walk and then she goes.

You do. Okay, honey, okay.

I'm not leaving.

If I go, I won't come back.

That took you twenty years. -You don't love him, Reyhan.

It doesn't matter. -But you don't love him.

You just chose the easiest way out.

I've had it with this.

Let's do something about the atmosphere. -How?

Laughter. -Smile?

Yes, laughter.

Then smile, please. -Yes.

As if it wasn't twenty years ago...

that we were having fun, as if our lives weren't messed up.

Then smile. Go on.

If so, laugh.

Do you still want to undone?

Okay, then.

Then we go to Aliye.

Then we ask her.

There must be a way to undo it.

I'm waiting for you to say it's a joke.

She'll work her magic on it. -Okay, then let's go.

We'll have it undone. Whatever she has to do to do that.

I want to freshen up first. -You can do that over there.

It must be around the corner there somewhere.

Soon the house will have been demolished.

No. That's the beauty of the island. It doesn't change that fast.

Besides, if she asks for money, you know my situation.

She was asking 50 lira at the time. Who knows what she is asking now?

Wait, here it is.

Locked. -Are you sure this is it?

Yes.

Maybe there is another entrance, up there.

It could.

This is it.

It looks abandoned. -No, the screen door is open.

What can I do for you? -This is Aliye's house, isn't it?

Yes, come on. -Sorry?

Please, come in.

Come on. I wasn't expecting anyone, so I'm still in pajamas.

No, no problem.

Please sit down.

I haven't had guests in so long I've lost my manners.

What do you want? Something to drink? Tea? There's sage tea, lemon tea....

Wait, cherry liqueur. Homemade. Just a minute.

Don't bother too much.

Please.

We want to ask Aliye something. Then we'll go again.

It won't.

My mother...

Previous...

Previous...

Condolences.

Do you really not want cherry liqueur?

No, thanks. -My mother made it. Delicious.

The taste reminds me of my mother.

Everything here in the house reminds me of her.

She was still completely good. Strong and she was still walking.

Maybe not the last few weeks. The doctor said.

That the hills and stairs on the island keep you fit and healthy.

My mother was wonderful.

Weather or no weather, every day she went for a walk outside.

And I don't even get out of the house.

We'll go again. -Why did you guys even come?

Is it something I can help with?

It is something personal. Your mother knew about it.

A magic spell? They came here often for that.

Yes. Do you? -Are you kidding me?

No way. At most, coffee-gazing. And that was about the conversations.

I don't believe in prediction. I do believe in science.

I studied pharmacy for three years. I never graduated.

In Kismet.

But there was something strange going on with my mother.

Do I call it intuition or do they spon just good yarn?

But she did something good, because there were lines at the door.

What kind of spell do you need?

Love.

I don't know anything about that either.

Love, spells and stuff. It's all the same thing.

And they all gone from my life.

We have to go. -No. You've only just arrived.

Stay a while. We're just having a nice chat.

I see so few people. I sit in front of that thing all day.

I used to read books, encyclopedias...

But I am already old. I can't read anymore.

Shall we chat some more? By the way, how long can we do that?

May God give you a long life. -No, it isn't.

They are going to demolish here. The house is going down, let me tell you.

Don't you realize that?

They are already working on it.

The whole house is full of zombies.

A zombie movie, zombie series, zombie commercials, wherever you look.

Why?

Because they want to convince the world.

Of what? -Of what?

The carnage and destruction. They Are going to massacre whole tribes of people.

All those zombies have to justify those killings.

You see, they say...

That there are incorrigibly corrupt gangs on the earth.

These should be exterminated en masse, like mosquitoes.

They talk about "infected people.

They say, Look away, then we'll clean up.

Who is saying that? To whom? -Who?

The real rulers of the world. Against those who survive.

Then they don't have to not feel guilty.

See.

The world's population is now 10 billion. Soon it will be 15 billion.

How far can that grow?

The soil and sea are depleted, the air polluted, rivers dry up.

Even the ice caps are melting.

The earth no longer satisfies to human need.

Massive remediation is needed. Especially here.

The Middle East, Africa...

That's how they scrape a few billion of the world's population away.

Soon we will no longer need oil.

Then we have all of that used up.

And then look. Then there's construction everywhere again.

Then they clean up the pieces and build a new world for themselves.

Giant shopping malls, brand-new star-rated hotels...

Eight-lane roads running past them.

From New York to Shanghai in three hours. Whoosh there and whoosh back.

Life becomes totally different. Buying, selling, eating, drinking, shitting....

No one knows the zombies anymore.

You guys, I...

No one remembers us anymore.

Our love adventures... Our spells...

They turn to dust and blow away.

Sorry for not being able to help. And that I babbled too much.

No, really not. -No problem. Bye.

Hold on.

You still have Pembe, of course.

She can, too. -Who?

Pembe. She is a little strange, but she's a real angel.

Wait, let me find her number. Just a minute.

Hello, I would like to speak like to speak to.

Oh yes, well, then I'm sorry. Bye.

A man answered and said that this is the wrong number.

What do we do now? -I have no idea.

Say there is no spell, that it was a joke. Then we're done with it.

We are screaming anyway.

Reyhan, how did you manage to do it?

You were always joking about superstitious stuff. What happened?

Hello?

Yes, we are customers. We wanted...

I need to send my location, then he will come.

Okay, send.

I don't know how. I've never done that before.

Enter.

Digibeet.

Even a witch is better with technology than you.

Our soldier is the best.

Hello?

He hung up.

Follow me.

What is going on here?

Why so mysterious?

Enter.

You spoke to Aliya's son?

Yes, although we listened more than spoken.

He talks a lot. He goes on and on. And he's also a little crazy.

He just called.

He said he had given my number to two ladies.

You can't trust anyone anymore.

These days I see everybody differently than I used to.

You have thieves. Thieves, police...

You want to undo a love spell undo?

Yes.

Were you the one in love?

Yes. -On whom?

It doesn't matter.

So you're saying that you know what matters and what doesn't.

So what should I do next?

No, it's not. That one couldn't come, hence.

Why do you want to undo the spell? Didn't it work?

Yes. But I regret it afterwards.

Regret... You fell in love with someone else.

Yes, something like that.

What did Aliye read?

Sorry?

I ask about the object of that person.

A sock, a button... What were you on you? What did Aliye read?

I do have an object, but I don't have it with me right now.

Do you need it now? Shall I get it?

No. First, I write down a prayer.

First give me your mother's name And your date of birth.

Kübra.

April 30, 1980.

Did Aliye take blood?

Blood?

Blood. Whether she drew blood.

From whom?

No, there was no blood. She only did the spell.

Good, then it's all right.

When blood is involved, it's much harder.

Well...

take this prayer with you....

climb the highest hill

who is closest to you near you...

and bury this with the man's object

There on top of the hill.

Bury it well, so the dogs don't dig it up.

So what?

What do you mean by that again?

So this is all?

What do you want me to say?

Go live for forty years as a concubine of the troll king?

You deserve a spanking.

No, okay then. Thank you so much.

I arranged it for you. 500 lira.

You had the spell undone. Why is she paying?

I don't have any money with me. My girlfriend lends it to me.

Listen for a moment.

If something is sneaky, say it now. Don't fool the spirit world.

Sorry? -No shenanigans with the spirit world.

They know everything about all of us. Inside and out.

Listen. Twenty years ago we were in love with each other.

We had to break up.

Reyhan cast a spell on me and she wants to undo it.

What do I care?

What does it matter to me Who loves whom?

I am also just doing my job.

Are you still in love? -Yes.

We are still in love.

May God make you better.

All right, goodbye.

Rifki.

This way.

Why did you say everything? That's how it goes all over the island.

She doesn't get out. Who should she tell?

Then again, what if she does?

Are you out of your mind? I live here.

Then don't. Come live with me.

For God's sake.

What object do you have from me? -You can see that at home.

What is it?

It's yours. Do you still recognize it?

This was from my grandmother.

Antique ivory. I didn't know it was valuable when I swiped it.

Did you nick it?

Did you steal it from me?

From your bookshelf.

Unbelievable that they could do that.

All that effort for a box For business cards.

And I never got a card to put in.

Did you take this when you had to bring an object for the spell you had to bring?

So you had all these years a memory?

Then I could sell it when I needed money.

Come, let's go. -Okay.

I just fell in love. This is a very high price, though.

You made me climb every hill on the island climb.

It gets worse when you stop. You have to keep going.

Come on, keep walking.

I think that one lives downstairs. He is coming back.

Go look upstairs.

He's stuck. He's not going back. Wait, look.

Yes, I'm going home.

And now what? -How do you mean?

He is happy in his little home again. Hopefully he will have many little ones.

I don't mean that.

What happens to us now?

Nothing.

We climb the highest hill, We dig a hole, bury the lot.

Eren goes back home and lives happily on. This is what happens.

Come.

I am exhausted.

No more climbing.

The highest hill is St George. That one is steep. Keep that in mind.

No way.

Hold on.

Now don't be a tourist. We've been there so many times.

We once drank wine Until we got nauseous.

We didn't dare go down anymore.

They made their own wine then. And now it's a restaurant.

We bury that box, we undo the spell...

And we'll celebrate at lunch. I'm already hungry.

Okay, let's go.

By the way.

That box belonged to my grandmother.

Suppose she rose from her grave risen in response to the spell?

Is this a zombie movie? Now you sound like Aliye's son.

You believe in spells, not in zombies. Both are fantasy.

Look at this. Was it always here?

Tourist.

It has been here for centuries.

Don't you remember? -No idea.

Mount Christ.

Here stood the fanciest restaurant on the island.

We used to come here all the time. You must have erased it.

This is high enough. We'll bury it here.

No, she said on the highest hill.

There is a name for what you have.

Obsessive-compulsive.

No shenanigans with the spirit world. It has to be by the book.

Come.

It has changed here.

This wasn't there before.

It gets in the way.

Shall we go there? -Okay.

Caution.

There is fine.

What do we dig with? -No idea.

With this, it works.

Go on.

Moment.

Get it?

Here. -Are you ready?

And now? Now it lies there.

We have done that now. What do we do now?

I am starving.

Come, let's get something to eat.

I don't know how long it's been that I had such a feast.

I forgot what it tastes like.

How so?

How so?

I watch my weight, that's why.

Sometimes you can be so naive. Not naive, but ignorant.

We are poor, okay? We can't not afford to eat here.

Sometimes Gökhan goes fishing and then....

So, bunch of troublemakers.

So, bunch of troublemakers.

Is something funny?

What? -You're laughing. Is something funny?

How do you mean?

Aren't you Mr. Hikmet's daughter? -You have the wrong one in front of you.

When Mr. Hikmet still came here, I was a fisherman. Now I have this restaurant.

He used to say to us: So, bunch of troublemakers.

Aren't you his daughter? -I don't know anyone by that name.

In that case, sorry. Enjoy your meal.

My blood stopped for a moment. -With me, too.

That man had exactly the same voice.

Who is he? I must have erased him. I don't remember him.

I am momentarily upset.

You impress everyone. I never do.

No one on the island recognizes me anymore.

Damn. I'd rather not be recognized at all.

Let it be. Let's enjoy this.

What can I do for you? -Nothing.

Beer.

Can I have a beer?

Are you looking at those girls?

They don't look at you, take it from me.

See.

Have you ever been married?

No.

I met a boy and ran away when I was 20.

He said he did theater, but that was a cheap show tent.

We toured with it. I traveled all over the country.

To the border with Georgia, a trillion miles away.

I was on stage with him. Singing and even belly dancing.

I've even been in movies. -O yes, I haven't seen them.

Then he wound up.

I was never long with anyone, except with Gökhan.

It sounds like Les Miserables. It's not that bad.

I have known beautiful times and met beautiful people.

Not everyone was as nice, but that's something else.

How did you get to know Gökhan? -Five years ago I came here again.

The first time since then.

I was afraid someone would would see me and send me away.

But no one recognized me.

I wandered by myself through the streets.

You have seen his stall.

I saw a nice tattoo. He quoted an idiotic price.

I protested and then he gave it as a gift.

That's how we got talking.

He wanted me to stay with him.

And I had nothing better to go to.

You don't stay with someone Because you don't have anything better.

It's not fair. You don't love him.

Burying that box didn't work.

Well, I don't notice any change.

I'm a little tipsy, nothing more.

The point is that you went went to that woman, not for me.

What do you mean by that?

You are smart enough. Just think about it.

Hello.

Can I have another beer?

Uncle, why did you say that? -What did I say?

That those girls don't look at me. Why did you say that?

You don't think I'm good enough? A lot of people think so.

No, it's not. See that girl with the short hair?

Hikmet Kocaba's daughter. Do you know him?

He was a bigwig here. Minister, member of parliament...

A guy with balls. She is his daughter.

She's a lesbian. -You can't be serious.

She had a thing for a girl from here.

That turned into a scandal. They then left.

That can't be true.

Yes. Then you don't believe me. Think what you want.

I tried to forget about you.

Really.

That didn't work until I started hating you.

I killed you countless times.

In my dreams then.

I chased you down strange dark streets...

and killed you in gruesome ways.

Continue. In my opinion undoing is already in progress.

Just when I had forgotten about you, you showed up.

Give me another bash.

There is no normal way to talk to you.

Do you know what I most I admired about you?

I've always felt guilty Because I fall on women.

I hated myself.

I was disgusted with myself.

They do make you hate yourself.

Your parents.

Everyone.

It gets under your skin.

It penetrates like a foul odor.

My head says one thing And my heart says the other....

But you...

Even then, at that age...

You just followed your heart. You were so relaxed.

You just accepted it. How was it that you were so relaxed?

Yes, I was relaxed. I did paid twice over for that.

Time punished me. And I became like you.

But we were also incredibly inconsiderate.

Mulberry.

Remember?

I was the happiest person in the world Until your mother caught us.

Shall we sit here forever?

Yes, we do.

Then we become one with the raki....

with the ground, with the birds....

with the leaves.

Oh yes.

You could always sing so beautifully.

Sing something? -Really don't.

Your father used to cry when he heard those old songs.

My father thought of my mother when he drank and listened to old songs.

I hated that old Turkish music.

I have no memory at all of my mother.

I learned them all And sang them to myself.

You could sing incredibly well.

Do you remember that one song?

My favorite song.

Which one was that?

My life now Is like a long dream

Do you know it?

I have almost no voice left. -With what little you have left then.

Please. -No.

Please, sing it.

Please.

I don't remember.

Yep.

Are you going to sing it?

beautiful eyes

beautiful eyes

made me

fell so incredibly in love

fell so incredibly in love

beautiful eyes made me

fell so incredibly in love

my life is now

like a long dream

If I could see my beloved before me

I would go daydreaming

It doesn't feel like 20 years.

Everything is just as I remember it.

We have to hurry, or you'll miss the boat.

I'm not taking that boat, Reyhan. I'm not leaving you.

Stay here tonight.

Get your stuff tomorrow.

We talk to Gökhan in a decent way.

And then we leave here.

This time in pairs.

Give me some time.

Then I convince Gökhan.

Or rather, then I convince myself.

Do you still need to convince yourself?

Just be patient, okay?

We have already wasted so much time, Reyhan.

I don't want to die like my mother.

How do you mean?

My mother died alone. All alone.

All alone, without the one Whom she has truly loved.

When she got really sick, she kept muttering, "Haluk, Haluk.

When she was at one day, I asked her who Haluk was.

She was startled.

And she started crying.

She pretended to lose her memory.

Then she told.

At school, she and Haluk were madly in love with each other.

Really incredibly in love.

Her parents didn't like him.

They didn't think he was suitable. She submitted...

and married my father, who was "suitable.

When she was 86 ...

Haluk's name was on her lips As she was dying.

We are not going to end up like that.

No.

Why are you smiling?

Why do I always the problems?

How do you mean?

My life was ruined, I had to build a new life...

And now I have to throw that away again.

And you don't have a scratch. Nothing will happen to you.

Reyhan.

I gave you this.

Hold on.

Okay, we don't need to talk anymore.

This is no way. It cannot end like this.

I want an adult conversation.

He throws you out. What more do you want?

Gökhan is not a bad person.

I want to say goodbye. Gökhan.

Gökhan.

Reyhan.
