A day to die will come, for me too.

And all those I have seen
and heard will go away.

Even if others live
this must be the last judgement on me.

My face in marble will
wear away in weeping.

For I am all women,

and also none.

TO HAPPINESS

RESISTING TO HAPPINESS
IS FUTILE

Who were you, what kind
of person were you?

I came to the match with the hope
of seeing you for the second time.

Yet, hope of what?

I already took the risk of being
disgraced by this letter.

I am shivering...

What if you don't come?

You came.

It's just turned to 14:00
in Ece's timezone.

I was watching you since the beginning.

How beautifully you waited me...

Stop!

You're so beautiful! Don't go.

I solemnly declare this place,

“You're-So-Beautiful-Don't-Go“ Corner!

We are going to love each other.

But it feels like we don't have
the right to do that.

Yet, right of what?

What we should have done then?

Should we have surrendered
ourselves to this life

organized by those
who resist against the happiness?

Despite all I will stay
in touch with Erman.

Because we're part of the same choir.

And what we will see is going
to be a man decaying, vanishing.

We may not be able to find peace,
the thing we need the most.

And this would lead us to a disaster.

Ali, what the hell is this?

I posted our selfie on Instagram, bro.

Well, you fucked up!

What happened?

Zeynep saw our photo

and sent a message asking
whether I am in Istanbul.

Well in this case...

Heart...

Heart...

Heartbroken...

- Broken...
- Bro...

Last Summer...

One night I could not sleep.

I decided to take the
first flight to Istanbul.

Why didn't you call us then?

I directly went to Zeynep's street.

Even her disgusting
curtains stay the same.

I waited maybe more than three hours!

I even don't know
if she's at home or not,

just looking to her window like an idiot.

Could not find the guts to ring the bell.

Oh my...

Seems like we haven't become
mad enough with love.

We had a stuffed mussel seller boy,
on the Galata Bridge.

Found him. He got older.
Still at the same place.

Giving me one by one
with squeezing lemon on it.

I eat constantly...

Fucking tears came from my eyes bro?

Could not stop crying like a baby.

The mussel seller swears
not to put chilli inside.

I eat non-stop by the way.

In the end I finished the whole plate.

Say farewell to him...

And take the first plane back.

Hey bro, how are you?

I am not good Mazhar.

What's up?

Come on.

She's with you, isn't she?

I don't understand Erman.

You're lying. Don't.

I bet Ece's next to you,
wondering what I'm telling you,

how I'm shaming her.

How would you build
happiness over my misery?

You're making no sense.

Aren't you ashamed?

On your conscience be it! Liars!

Go on, tell her!

There is no need to care
about me anymore.

Say “Erman the Armenian spawn,
with no mother and a useless father,

loves you so much!“

Tell her, “He says you're the only
person that he can really talk to.“

You really buried me alive.

What a great mate you turned
out to be, congratulations!

I never asked much from anyone...

I was happy with things
the way they were.

My mother was the only person
who ever loved me.

I hope you get what you deserve!

A WORLD FOR US BOTH

The Knight With Innocent Face.

I came for the haemorrhoids doctor,
but they sent me to you instead.

Worrying about my wife
catching something...

Have you had sex with her
within 2 or 3 months?

Once.

OK.

Doctor! Nurse!

The doc will check you all.

We have at least fifty more patients.

OK.

I really don't go near her much.

Do you use a rubber when you have sex
with other people apart from your wife?

Does it hurt when you sit down?

I've got an inflatable ring,
it does the trick.

We need to send you and your
wife for an HIV PCR test immediately.

The nurse will take care of it.

Come back to me as soon as
you get the results.

You're not to touch your wife
at least two months. OK?

It feels good to lay
my hands on your soft skin.

As if you scrub my skin
and open up my pores in a hammam.

When you leave the hammam
they wrap you in clean towels...

you have an ice-cold soda.

The liquid slipping down your throat,
brings such a bliss...

That is the effect you have on me.

Sometimes you're asking me
whether I'm hurting?

Probably my face looks
as if I'm in pain...

You're so deep inside me,
you're really scaring me...

But sometimes I want to hurt you too.

As if I will finally get through
to you by hurting you...

Still, it scares me that
I want you so much.

What's so scary?

Aren't you my knight with innocent face?

You can do something
for your knight.

What is it?

Heat up some milk while I'm in the shower!

My Spermman!

Superman.

Clark Kent during the
day at the hospital...

Superman in your arms at night!

No silly! Not Superman, Sperm-man!

Sperm-man...

Superman!

Hi?

Hi.

- Thank you very much.
- See you Mr. Haldun!

Please let us know if you need anything.

I'm so sorry.

I told Ece I wouldn't be
coming back, but I got soaked.

I see...

You are Mazhar I guess?

- Spermman, will you scrub my back?
- I'm Tijen.

Nice to meet you. I'm very sorry.

No no prob...

Cimcime who let you out?

- I'll try to...
- No, don't you bother...

Cookies with tahini and white tea!

VIP treatment from TJ!

You've gone to too
much trouble Ms. TJ.

Ms. TJ!

Our fool loves nicknames,
my proper name's Tijen.

I'm sure she also found
something for you...

Let this tea bless our ancestors!

I can't make tea to save my life.

- This is you I guess?
- TJ is identical to my mum.

They're twins but she's
more of a fizgig.

Take it easy Cimcime!
We can't chat, my boy...

Cimcime is the man of the house.

He sometimes loses his temper

but always has a place
on top of our heads.

Ece knows me, I say it how it is.

Please...

Dear Mazhar, why you are here is obvious.

If we ask her mother, she'll
treat Ece like the 'Virgin Mary'...

Can you stop it?

No.

Is there any need to?

Well, it depends on the man.

Is this girl not going to make love?

Of course she will.

You'll only go to a hotel

then they'll ask for
a marriage certificate – more rubbish.

Meet here. So much better!

Well, it's only a year and a half

since I came back from
my post-grad in Canada.

I got appointed to
the state hospital straight away,

so I haven't had time to
find a new place to live...

And that's the best thing for you.

There's nothing like
a mother's home-cooking...

No.

I don't know the first
thing about cooking.

Look at this girl,
she's wasting away.

Hopefully her mother comes from
Izmir and fills the fridge for weeks.

My mum passed away two months ago.

I'm so sorry. My condolences.

You weren't to know.

She had a tumour that
might have been cancerous.

So we thought it was
best to have it removed.

I thought...

Sadly, she never came
round after the operation...

From here on, it's just us.

What do you mean?

This is the male ward.
You are not allowed.

Are you serious?!

He's just 19, how can I leave him?

Where's his father?
He can stay with him.

There's no father!

- Sorry the new rules are like that.
- Let me in!

- I will call the police!
- Go ahead. Just there.

- Ha run, what's going on here?
- Professor, she tries to enter.

- I am his mother!
- Have some respect!

Ha run, get the patient inside!

- I am his mother.
- Sorry ma'am.

He is my patient, let her inside
for a while. Professor?

- Ha run!
- Yes sir.

Calm down.

- Are you Mesut's mother?
- Yes.

I'm the duty doctor tonight.
Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him.

Step back a bit.

Is it new?

You did not like it?

It's a bit different.

Gift...

Don't worry, OK?

We will work separately with you.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Mazhar, Şahika. They are my friends.

Thanks.

Dip it into salt also.

How is it?

Sour but nice.

Hello.

Come my girl.

Come on you already ate one kilo
of green plums since morning!

Hold that.

And you too please.

Don't leave them otherwise
my belly will get bigger and bigger.

Come on you're really thin.

- Am I really?
- I mean thin in a good way.

Ladies, as your doc worked
hard all week his head's done in.

Shall we start heading off slowly?

Oh you start talking like
a 70-year-old again.

Indeed, you are so boring.

My dear Şahika we should
hangout separately.

You can join our church choir
in my neighbourhood.

A church?

- But I am not a Christian.
- Nor am I.

As they don't have enough community anymore,
they accept choristers from Muslims to atheists.

And even some eager souls like me.

Don't say that.

I mess up after having
singing lessons for years.

I'm just not as talented as İlhan.

İlhan?

Dear parents and dear children,

today, at this fete organised to
raise money for our sister-school

I am honoured to announce
that we accept Elif Sena

with full scholarship
to our private school.

- Elif Sena?
- Thank you.

Dear Teacher Ece, come join us
to have a picture.

- At least hold this.
- It's already funny come on please.

Are we ready?

Can I apply lipstick also?

It's mine I hope it's OK?

Hold this.

Just a sec.

- Is it fine?
- Super fine.

It works better on you than me!

You ready? I'm shooting.

“You're-So-Beautiful-Don't-Go“ Corner.

...How many times have I told you
not to squabble with İsmail?

Professor...

Her son's face was badly
burnt because of the explosion.

She was a wreck from
waiting in the corridor.

I let her sleep on the stretcher
in my room.

I was in Emergency until morning.
I've got witnesses.

Why do you need such
a statement from me my dear...

Don't I know you?

Am I a dickhead?

Sorry professor.

Well... We can say that
I'm the head of all those dicks.

İsmail undermines me anyway...

Fortunately I learned of the issue before
it went straight to the Head Doctor.

If you continue like that they
can see off your professorship too.

Now take some leave.

Have a rest.

Besides Avni and İsmail
both leave over Ramadan.

How is Şahika by the way?

She was not well at the funeral.

They trapped people
between hon our and career.

The administration asks
for the catering company,

a list of the ones who doesn't
fast during Ramadan.

Better not to give your name.
Eat outdoors.

I've got two years until my retirement.

Then I'm off to the island.

But you're still young...

Either you be patient until you
become assistant professor.

Or you go for money at a private hospital.

Or simply you take your
beautiful lover and go abroad.

COMPANIONSHIP

Isn't it to time to learn finally?

Actually, İlhan wanted to teach me...

You mean Mr. İlhan, your father?

Once we went to
my gran's summerhouse,

but as they had a quarrel,
we had to leave early with mom.

I didn't get round to learning there.
I never got the chance again.

I can teach you in an hour.

I'm not saying I don't want to learn!

But you only get leave once so I'm
just saying let's not waste it on this.

Please you don't say also 'leave',
it's my 'right', a holiday.

So now... Ready...

Give me your bag at least.
It will upset your balance.

Spermman will protect me!

OK.

- Ready!
- Go!

- Holding.
- Don't let go.

1... 2... 3... 3... Go... Pedal!

Baby there are cliffs up there...

Come on!

I told you not to let go!

Look how far you went on
your own. That's not bad, is it?

It's bad!

Better now?

Aren't you the Knight With
Innocent Face?

You just need to find your balance
and you'll never forget...

Promise, believe me.

I've had enough now!

Look darling, nobody forgets
the first moment riding a bike.

So the memory of our first holiday
would never leave you.

You really screwed up the day...

In my dream, I was besieging
Vienna for the 3rd time.

Surrounding me muscled janissaries,
cannons, rifles...

Blow!

They keep asking me for my
order to capture the city this time!

Bloody janissaries...

Could you capture the city then?

Oh no...

Wolfgang seduced me through
the city walls with his piano tune.

Wolfgang who?

Amadeus.

Blow!

Oh I know freckly Ece I know...

The craters of the moon
are named after VIP.

So if the excellency accepts,

we should name the mole
on your belly, 'MAZHAR'.

With pleasure Spermman.

What if we got married?

You must be kidding!

I'm serious.

Why wait?

We marry then we go away...

Go away where?
How would we get by?

Look who's talking about getting by!

What's that supposed to mean?

Of course, I'm not saying
right this minute,

but how about in the spring?

No need for a fancy wedding –
just a small party within family...

We could go to India for the
honeymoon, just like your dreams?

Oh! I mean, India...
You hit me from my weakest point.

But as your knight with innocent face,
I can bless you...

with my sword and maybe
marry you off to someone else.

Forget it.

Mind you, I'd be jealous. I'd chop
off the other woman's head right here.

Let's just drop it.

What's up with you...

Just having fun...

I got it but it hurts.

Come on were you being serious?

I didn't want to make you feel
awkward with a clean-cut proposal...

But you could at least show some respe...

No, really, I loved it that you proposed.

And I loved it that you turned me down.

Ooo he gets upset so
easily... There there...

Should I throw myself
into your lap, crying with joy?

I'm not intending to marry
anyone until I'm at least 45.

OK, you'll live alone then.

Why alone, my kid will look after me.

In Turkey? Without getting married?

Why not? You don't
want us to have kids?

At least three...

Two! I am already a daughter of twins.
We have a high chance to have twins.

Every weekend we walk
all together at Bosphorus.

You cook and change their diapers.

We leave them from time to time to TJ...

And we send them to
Islamic public school...

Or we spend the half
of our income to private?

As if I am going to give birth tomorrow.

What if if you don't
plan every shit darling?

Come on...

What's up again? Go to sleep...

You farted.

Farted like there's no tomorrow.

My mommy used to complain
when my dad farted at any occasion.

He came out saying...

"He who farts good
will be a good father...

Besides nothing bad will stay
inside a good person."

Babes come on give me a hand.

What the hell is that?

It's hard my dear, really hard...

Ah, how pretty it is!

Yep!

What's that?

Leave it. I'll unpack that.

- Huh heavy!
- I will handle it don't worry.

Caution there's a nuclear bomb inside!

- Who is it?
- Open!

What's he doing here?

He insisted on helping, saying
you wouldn't be able to manage.

I told him to come afterwards
but he wouldn't listen.

Is it really your dad coming?!

Why didn't you say?

I didn't get that
he'd come in the end anyway.

You should have told me...

Hera, what a surprise!

Hera calm down honey.
I miss you too...

She is jumping at home even when she
hears your name

as you don't come for a visit.

So I brought her for
good luck to your home.

How it's going?

Good.

Enjoy your new home.

They've not done a bad job.

But you should have had
new PVC windows...

We'll sort everything out bit by bit.

Weren't you going to
get a cornice for curtains?

Will do.

So where is Ece?

She went out to
buy a few things...

Good... Good...

Ma'ashallah! The house has
hardly got a cup in it...

But you invested in a huge bed.

Come on daddy!

OK... Go away... Go.

Go away... Go.

Let's leave here.

Slowly...

Daddy have a rest, if you wish.

It's all right if a doctor
doesn't screw bolts.

Open the window
of the rear room let it breeze a bit.

Istanbul was never hot like that.

It looks like that girl's not coming...

What are you doing?

It's Ramadan time, he is fasting.

How's the poor girl supposed

to know what to get
in a hardware store?

You can tell simply
that she is privileged!

It will be so...

He finally found a girl but we
never hear a word from him...

When your mum gave birth
to you she was 23, I was 24.

For god's sake dad, don't start again...

We've so many things to do.

- Leave it to me... Just a minute.
- Listen to me!

If you marry today, the earliest
you'll become a father is 35.

It'll break your back when the baby
starts bouncing and jumping!

Your lovely mother left us
without seeing her grandchildren.

Everyone wants to see their own
grandchild and hold them in their arms.

- What's wrong with that!
- Dad, calm down!

All the neighbours are hearing us.

Ece will be here soon.

It is not that easy after working
40 years working with a lathe!

Attention! It's heavy!

Dad!

Shower curtains in this time!

The girl deserves a shower cabin!

Why there is no water?

Water supply has been
cut off since yesterday night.

How did you find this
old shabby district?

Mr. Haldun?

What's the matter?
Do you need help?

You're so kind, young lady. Thanks.

I'm Ece, Uncle Haldun,
your upper neighbour.

Really?

That's good...

I went to the shop to get
some milk in the morning

but it looks like I forgot my keys.

I can't find my key...

No worries...

Come to ours for now and catch
your breath. I'll call the locksmith.

How are you Cimcime?

Please sit down, Mr. Haldun.

You're already tired.

It's better if I don't
sit down, my girl.

Absolutely no problem. Let me
accompany you to the bathroom.

No, it's OK. I'm wearing a diaper

but I was sitting on the stairs for
so long, my trousers got messed up.

Don't even think of it, Uncle Haldun...
Please... sit down.

If you don't mind, is it OK if I
have a look for the key myself?

Of course, my girl.
If only you could find it...

No...

I could not wake Mücella
from her beauty sleep.

I rang the bell so much but...

No need uncle Haldun.

Maybe we should try
once again. It's tea time.

Mücella should be woken up already.

Auntie Mücella was my idol.

May she rest in eternal peace.

Well...

I am too old to remember.

The ticker doesn't work
as well as it used to.

When Mücella was alive,
she used to keep me organised.

She used to help me out
when I was confused...

But now...

We were together for 53 years.

I left the Archaeology Faculty...

And did 3 years of military
service at the navy.

Then I got a job at the museum.

In my office there was
this a pain in the ass girl.

Oh god...

I always liked big women...

When she was annoyed with me,
she used to say,

“I don't understand what
you liked about me in the first place!“

I used to look straight
into her eyes and smile.

Last year, I woke up early in the morning.

I looked and there she was,
sleeping next to me.

I watched and watched.

“Dear Lord, I could never have
too much of her“ I said to myself.

“Please take me first...'“.

Now, I just count the days.

I'm really sorry, Uncle Haldun.
I'll bring you another one.

I'll go and check the locksmith.

Uncle Haldun...

The locksmith came and opened your door.

It looks like you left
your key in the door.

Oh, no need to wake Mücella then...

Love me.

Love me.

NEITHER WITH NOR WITHOUT YOU

- Thank you once again Doctor...
- You're welcome, kiss Mesut for me.

Anymore patients?

- Where did you come out from?
- From the fortune cookie!

You should've let me know.

Why? Does every patient tell
you before they come?

I got a proper appointment and came.

- You took an appointment?
- Yes... Look...

So she did, the maniac.

We don't lie.

- Nurdan, you enjoy tea if you wish.
- Of course.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

Did you come to play doctor, miss?

Yes, Mr. Doctor, I have
a problem, that I suffer...

What is it then?

Well, every once in a while,
my legs get red and itchy...

Maybe some food causes it...

Maybe somebody else, I don't know.

It must be from stress.

Oh, and I also have this on my hand.

You didn't have this last night?

It happened while pouring
tea today in the morning.

That's why I came to you.

But you can get an appointment
no later than two weeks ahead of time...

I'm with a patient!

Doctor...

Come come...

I examined you months ago!

Why didn't you do
the test straight away?

Doctor...

Our free social security
card just got issued.

I got better with the
ointment that you gave...

So I thought I could manage.

But then I got also sores in my mouth...

Let me see...

Nurse...

Please...

Mazhar...

Wake up...

Come on!

The gulls have nested in the chimney.

Come on! Let's have a look.

My dear, there's no nest here.

You checked with a torch also?

Come and see yourself darling!

It has probably left now...

Listen! There are noises again.

It probably fell down the chimney.

Oh my...

Give us this mezze and bean salad.

Stuffed grape leaves and mackerel.

Some octopus too,
so we can get a good hard-on.

Don't give me such food for erection!

Hey calm down,
people are listening.

My bed's been like the Gobi Desert
for three months!

- You should download 'Bang my Friend'.
- What the hell is that?

You jerk-off looking at duck face selfies
of your Facebook friends, right?

Yes indeed bro.

As if you don't do so.

- Never...
- Absolutely not.

So you download the app and mark
all the women in your friends list

that you'd like to ficky-fick with...

Or men if you prefer.

Stop for a sec.

- He's marked indeed!
- I welcome everybody bro!

If one of your friends has downloaded
this filthy app and marked your ugly mug,

the app sends both of you a message
saying, 'Go forth and bang!'.

Ulaş, you're really
into immorality of the West.

Babes... The top one percent
holds 82% of the entire wealth.

Just if the new Chinese middle class starts
to eat seafood as much as the Japanese...

Professor Ulaş, Chinese middle
class fucks you, don't spoil the chat.

OK we got it, there will be war soon;
Trump is already there...

Just tell us if your dear wife knows
about this Bang Bang app.

Of course!

Whatever I say is just pure theory.

This ties the bird somehow
and doesn't let him fly.

Who told you to go and marry
your first student that you lay with...

and then have a bloody kid as well?

Look at me...

I've closed that chapter forever
and give my shirts to dry cleaning.

We all know that
this chapter never ends...

You'll find yourself again looking
at those disgusting curtains.

And everything goes even shittier...

Where is the asshole called Erman?

Where the hell is he?

I called him so much, he does not reply.

Mazhar?

I thought your precious
was also coming?

Yeah, we're curious!

He finally found a girl after all.

Of course he's not going to show
her to scum like us.

You saw her before.

Where?

She came here once when I wasn't around...

With Erman.

You could not find
someone else to betray?

Poor boy... Plus he's an Armenian!

OK guys, you exaggerated already.

No more fucking around!

- What do you mean Ulaş?
- Come on boy, we know it already.

You know what?

- My dear doc, you still did not get it, huh?
- What?

Erman called us months ago! Relax...

Why did you invite me
instead of him then?

Because...

We...

Love you more, you motherfucker!

We desire you more...

Emokid...

Who is he? Your lover?

Why don't you talk?

Ah, you're on antibiotics?

My place is close but unavailable.

Well... I'm not a chatty guy.

You neither...

But we'll try to figure out somehow...

I am really sorry.

Şahika?

I just slept with a guy
that I don't know.

I cheated on Mazhar.

Just wanted you to know...

You're so beautiful.

Don't go...

...AND WRAPT THE SPIRIT
IN WILD CONSTERNATION

Why didn't you tell us, you
tightlipped bastard?

Don't know... I fucked it up...

To be honest bro, you fucked it up

and you've been fucked
at the same time.

My mum said there was
a girl she wanted me to meet.

I was pissing about.

My mum went on and on.

“Her parents are from our town,
she's a great cook, really good-looking“.

She even did an intelligence operation:

learned the internet and Facebook
so she could find pictures of her...

What an effort from Auntie Şükran!

I gave in just to show willing.

When I saw her...

Just like you melt the butter in a
copper pan before breaking an egg into it.

You?! An arranged date?

Did she like you then?

She did! I wish she hadn't...

Anyway, we went out and in three
months we got engaged.

You got engaged?

Just between me and her, I swear...

I am not mad enough
to tell this to my mum!

I was ready for the whole package:
military service+wedding+baby...

Together, we were great.
I was dying of happiness.

When was this? How come
I didn't know Ali?

You'd just gone to Canada.

Straight afterwards,
during an ID check I got caught

and called up to the military in a week.

Anyway we've earned
our stripes after one month.

But she started playing
games on the phone.

I didn't know what was going on.

Then she said...

“Ali, I can't do this anymore...“

“I want to break up.“

I tried to escape, they caught me.

They "welcomed" me
at the military prison.

Anyway, I kept calling her over again.

In the end, she said...

“Don't keep bothering me...“

“I am with somebody else.“

She saw my sister and got scared.

Our parents are cousins, you know.

That's why she
chickened out and left me...

We would have been
waiting for a baby now...

It would have been our love child...

I still love her and it hurts!

I am burning!

Burning!

What are you doing Ali?

Don't look at me like that bro!

Haven't you ever seen
any lover man in your life?

- Hold this.
- What are you doing?

I am burning!

- Ali!
- Burning!

I am burning!

I love youuuu!

Oh the water is lovely bro...

I am going!

When did you make it?

While you were boring me...

Spermman, you gonna cook
us with this quilt in this season.

I got cold at nights,
what can I do?

Simply hug me my dear.

Come on find the edge down there.

Stop grinning
and help me, you toothy!

I'll show you the tooth!

What's up?

When the voices stopped, I thought
it had finally escaped and flown off.

We can't do anything.

Even the fire-brigade couldn't get it out.

Let's smash the wall.

What if we kill the bird
smashing the wall?

And you know the landlord...

It must be stuck between two levels.

Come down! What are
you doing there?

Cleaning...

Oh Istanbul almighty...

Against your evil,
we again find refuge in you…

Even if we are left
with no air to breathe,

even those fault lines below sooner
or later shake us like a cradle,

even if the loveless pack
of the city blast bombs,

is there a Bosphorus in those
peaceful-looking lands,

in whose waters we can let ourselves go?

Even if we were able to go,

those cities, where we couldn't
readily mingle with the flow of life;

don't they also have their past
and present loveless lots?

And, our unrest, which will
find us there for sure;

let's put ourselves aside -
won't ruin those lands as well?

Fear won't save us from fate, my dear.

Come and nestle on my chest.

Let us cling and unloose ourselves.

Maybe the endless joy is
at the bottom of Bosphorus?

I'll whisper into your ears
while we sink into the depths:

All these endless cloisters
are ours ever after.

Forever we shall live here.

Together we shall die.

Wasn't this construction supposed
to be finished? One year already...

Yes.

Erman emigrates to US
to join his relatives.

Who told you?

Ece.

Did you ever see Erman?

Şahika!

Didn't I tell you to put aside the
ripe ones to distill raki? (anise drink)

- Dad, they are not that ripe yet.
- Give it to me.

He doesn't even look at me?

He must be upset
because you came alone.

Well... He's on full alert
for a grandchild.

The other day...

He opened mum's dowry chest,
took out some wonderful fabrics.

He told me to pick one, go to the tailor
and have a dress made for your engagement.

Mom even bought French guipure lace
for me and her future daughter-in-law.

You must see them...

She talked me about them before the
operation... As if she felt what would happen.

Did you see my distillation adapter?

Nope...

Look, if you hide it,
just tell me the place.

Daddy, you'd cut down on drinking?

I have just cheap pleasure in life...

And everybody admires my raki.

I'll find it! You care the dog first,
she has a problem on her feet.

When he holds his grandchild, he'll stop
drinking. He may even become vegan!

I guess Ece hasn't told you.

She is on heavy medication.

You were also using after the funeral?

Not the same...

I used it for shingles.
They were different.

If she gets pregnant while she's taking
it, the child might have birth defects.

It could even die.
Something could even happen to Ece.

She needs to stop at least
two years beforehand.

So she can stop taking it then.

Don't you love this girl?

You do.

But, Ece is out of this world...

That's what you love in her.
Don't you get it yet?

Is Şahika coming alone?

Can't you make it even if it's just
for the second half, Spermman?

I can speak to Doctor İsmail if you want?

I understand...

OK. It's just that...

We've been rehearsing for months.

Yes, TJ is also coming.

Can't you at least come
to the end of the concert?

OK.

I'm fine...

I love you too...

It would have been
good if you'd come...

The money goes for an orphanage...

We've been rehearsing for months...

Once upon a time a kid came home

to find out she's all alone.

Then she found some pills

that tasted like candies...

Look at you!

Wasn't that you who crushed all the pills
at home into your break time milk...

when you were just at primary school?

I suppose it seemed like a good idea to
knock back all the happy-pills in one go...

and die in front of your best friends...

Anyway it wasn't like
when you tried it again-

Are you OK?

Why did you do that?

Is it also wrong to vomit?

Of course not... Sorry, I misunderstood...

I just thought that...

Sorry, I misunderstood...
I was upset...

Why were you upset?

No way!

Something that I ate
made me sick I guess...

Don't worry I wouldn't kill myself
because of your sorrow.

No cure for what is gone my
dear Knight with Innocent Face...

Mazhar.

Can we talk a bit?

I'm really tired. I need to sleep.

A man must hide his face,
if he wants to be loved.

Why couldn't you hide yours, Mazhar?

Let yourself know me first...

Give me flowers... Show some compassion.

At the end of the night that I just
let you know, my dear Sahika,

I got free of all your burdens.

Without words, without speech,
I belong to a total stranger.

And also that stupid
arrogance of yours...

which you try to avoid
by humiliating yourself...

Me seeing how utterly desperate you are
and going to others;

doesn't that show
you that I still pity you?

Why are you reading all of these?

Get angry!

I don't want your love.

Because I don't love you.

Is there a fire?!

Don't believe it!

You know me...

Don't believe it!

Don't believe it!

It's not true...

No-one has ever
humiliated me as you.

I've never loved anyone
as much as I love you...

MEMORY IS A FESTERING WOUND

Hagia Sophia's famous Perspiring Column,
also known as the Wishing Column...

Legend says that the column is
humid by Virgin Mary's tears.

For centuries, people believed that
putting their thumb inside this hole...

And turning it round will
make the wishes come true.

My dear teacher, my mum sent this for you.

We made it together with
the quinces from our garden.

Thank you so much.

She shouldn't have.

It's all natural. I hope you'll
enjoy it with your fiancé.

How dare you?!

He can't resist quince jam.

He won't leave me a drop.

So will you come to our wedding?

Yes but first I have to
buy proper shoes.

Why not now?
Let's go and buy some now.

Excuse me.

- Welcome!
- Hello.

What did happen to your lip?

Nothing special.
Some patient punched me...

They're crazy! How can anybody
raise a hand on a doctor?!

This is the 2nd time already,
I got used to it.

I have brought you
some of my tahini cookies...

- Thanks a lot.
- You're welcome.

How have you been since
we last saw each other?

Fine...

I mean I've been
really busy at work.

Work is fine, but you shouldn't get
too hung up too much on work anyway.

Work was invented to prevent people
making love from dawn until dusk.

Look dear Mazhar...

I know that you are a good person.

Because you are not good at
hiding your judgements about people.

But understand what you think about me,
I'm not a fool you know...

Don't worry. I don't think
that you dislike me.

No... I... I really like you.

I like you too, dear Mazhar.

I did not grow up like you.

I mean...

I always had to claw my way
up in order to achieve something.

Maybe that's why I have this
sneaky kind of jealousy, this fury...

Of course it is nonsense... I mean-

Have you spoken to each other?

No, not for 3 months...

How is Ece?

96 days...

She's counting every day.

I hope you haven't hurt
each other too much...

I think we have.

I've never seen her as bad as this.

Her mum even came from Izmir.

Her asshole father visits her
maybe once in a year...

But he just sends money.

Is she taking her medication?

Well...

Ece was always different.

It's hard to comprehend
her vivid imagination.

If she keeps those diaries...
again it's all for you.

Since she learned how to write,

she was writing in her locked diaries
and leaving them at open.

So that her father could read
and show her some affection...

Once he sent her a postcard
while he was in India for a concert.

My poor love...

For months, she wrote her imaginary
souvenirs of India in her diaries.

Love has never been
a problem between us.

If I'd had my own child, I couldn't
have loved her any more than I love Ece.

She means the world to me...

To me too...

But...

It's so difficult to love somebody...

that you can't change...

neither help nor leave.

Maybe the dosage has
to be increased...

So you can't handle
her emotions, right?

Too much passion, huh?!

She doesn't take medicine any longer.
I told her to stop many months ago.

How you told her to stop?

Of course I did!

You want the girl's liver
to get destroyed?!

How can you let yourself
to make such a decision?!

Actually, based on
what right can you decide on

matters that fall outside your
field of specialization?

- Do you have training in Psychiatry?
- I didn't decide, the specialist did.

Come on, you sent her to your friend.

And he wrote the prescription
like you wanted. Simple as that!

You didn't really think about
Ece, not at all, sorry.

Stop stop!

15 Liras.

It's not even half an hour yet...
I park here often.

Then they say, rapists are everywhere...

5 liras more.

They increased the price recently.

Come on we're in the end hollabacks here.

Pervert... Pervert...

You think you can rip me off with
your legal mafia tone?

You don't know the difference between
flirting and harassment or rape and sex!

You come months late to the doctor

and when you can't find a cure, you
beat him. What is my fault, you vermin!?

Very soon we all die!

Cut me up... Come on,
cut me up more!

What "an honest believer"
who rips off tourists!

What should I do, ha,
should I meet my pisser friends?

You know you completely
missed your lives...

But you pretend not to notice,
sitting there just talking about shit.

Where are your great dreams?

But you are different, aren't you?

You don't say a word when this prick
talks positively about rape.

But you get angry just for money.
You're the coward...

Do you have the guts to
jump into Bosphorus like Ali?

The thing you most feared was mediocrity.

See, you just became
an average dermatologist!

Now let's watch you bow
in front of those boneheads...

The poor boy's face was burnt by
the bomb explosion.

When I let his suffering mum
sleep a bit in my room,

She becomes a whore and I a womanizer!

Didn't you take the Hippocratic oath, what
is the difference with the parking mafia?

You gossip and go to mosque
to pray every Friday!

Weren't you telling me,
the world is mortal, faith is secret?

Your only concern was
also that you fill your pockets!

Enough is enough!

Your father beat you,
then forced you to kiss his feet.

And now you take revenge from us.
Very well done!

Do you even realize that
you messed up my youth?!

If you have never fallen in love,
how is that my fault?

Even Mehmet The Conqueror let his soldiers
pillage Constantinople only for three days.

You've constantly destroyed this
beautiful city for 600 years!

How dare you change the original door designed
by Architect Sinan with a new PVC one?

You shouldn't turn back to this hell...

You shouldn't...

You were hurrying to let your mum be
operated on, thinking you would 'save' her!

You are the one
who sent her to heaven!

As if I don't think of Ece! Do I think
of anything else than Ece?

You are the only one
who loves Ece, huh?

And I made my specialist friend
prescribe whatever I want!

Shame on you!

Ece...

I thought that my love yorou could save
me as well as our compassion.

But I can't hold on anymore...

Leave Ece.

Leave your father.

Leave Şahika...

Leave your friends.

Leave here...

Just go away.

Just go...

Şahika...

I'm hungry like a wolf.

Let's fry some eggplants!

We'll put yogurt with garlic on it!

At 3 am?

Do you crave as if you're
pregnant or something?

Besides, weren't you saying
that you're in deep sorrow?

I don't know about the sorrow,
but I won't starve to death.

I wish I'd been happy-go-lucky like you...

Me and my family,
we are all addicted to grief.

I'm my still father's
daughter on that score...

We are good all together,
aren't we Ece?

You'd fight, then you'd make up.

When I was with you both, I felt so
happy I could have stayed there forever.

You know, you're my only friend left.

After Erman all of my high
school friends walked out on me.

I'm so angry with you.

It's eating me alive.

How people cheat themselves
so much with “You're the only one“...

“I couldn't be with anyone else...“

As you look at me with compassion,

I feel myself loved
when I'm with you two.

And I can't help but weep thinking of you.

Why you are still separate?

Why you don't get back
together and make love?

How can two lover who licks passionately
each other's asses become strangers?

All of a sudden, he said
what if we all become like Ece...

How many times did you wake me up in
the night when I was staying with you?

You didn't even care...

I'm not unattractive myself...

My body's alright and with
a bit of make-up I look OK...

One day I'm sure someone
will come along and love me too.

But you two...
Why are you still apart, Ece?

Because Mazhar forced me to take pills.

How can I help you?

Sorry doctor.

I came here to present my gratitudes...

Excuse me?

If it wasn't for you, my husband might
have been dead now.

If we'd waited longer,
he wouldn't have survived.

Don't mention it... It's our duty.

- May God make it easy for you.
- Well, it is not that easy...

Dear Mazhar...

Professor...

Sorry to hear what happened.

Well, that's a part of the job as well…

Thanks professor but I
already signed the contract.

What can I say?

By the way congratulations
on becoming head of department.

Thanks thanks...

Still, we can discuss,
maybe I can change your mind.

How about talking now, over lunch?

I'm going to the mosque
for Friday prayers.

May God accept...

Amen... Amen...

Sorry for that...

My husband doesn't even
have the strength to lift his arm.

He just sleeps all the time.

I have to feed him.

I've been praying to God for years:

“Please, take this bastard away
so I can see daylight with the kids.“

He beats me...

And if the children run,
he beats them too.

I get some pin money
from house cleaning;

he takes it and disappears
for two days.

I don't know whose bed he's been
in, and then he comes back drunk...

I understand but...

Why are you thanking me?

If he'd died he would have
been saved from his misery,

but you made sure he survived.

Now he lays crying in agony,
wondering how he is to be in that state.

Even now, I can't wait to go back
and see him like that.

I never leave his side.
I give him his medicine.

The neighbours say,
“Ayşe is such a loyal woman.“

But now my husband has
a lot of years ahead of him.

I'll look after him until death...

May God bless you, Doctor.

Come my son.

I've really started to forget things.

Sometimes I don't even
remember Mücella's face.

I'm so afraid...

You'll be fine, just fine...

There's nothing worse
in life than forgetting.

If I can, I would go to the place
where I saw Mücella for the first time.

You will go, together we go!

Sarcophagus of the Mourning Women.

I'd lived with you because of you.

I thought, I almost died because of you

it was long time, long time before
I rose up from where I'd crumpled

and believed you were no longer living.

I'll bring my hands
together on the tomb

my face a curtain,
my breast a plumb line in stone.

Burn those diaries
all the way to the end...

I will still keep writing...

You'll be infatuated with me!

I'm sorry, dad...

Honestly, I can't stay, live here.

- I like to take your permission to lea-
- As if I would, my boy!

If you two have made your
mind up, then go of course.

I'm going alone.

A wise decision.

I'll be able to help you
out more from over there.

I mean it will be also
good for Şahika.

It's your life.

- You will know what's always best for you.
- We don't know what is best always.

Sending mum off for a preventive
operation and I screwed all our lives up.

I certainly don't know
what is best daddy.

You can't help blaming yourself for
everything since you were a child.

What more can I say to you?

Shall I go? Shall I stay? Say that much...

Did your mum tell you?

Tell what?

When we ran away from Bulgaria in
'89 your brother was just one year old.

They placed us temporarily
in a refugee tent.

I know, she suffered a lot.

A year later they transferred
us to a public housing building.

It was a tiny apartment
but we were very happy.

Except him...

As he took the tent
for a normal house,

he cried his eyes out, nonstop.

When you were born

he held you in his arms
and you finally stopped crying.

Your mother and I worked
ourselves to the bone

so you could study and be somebody.

But the harder you
work for a child,

the more likely they
are to go away.

When you first went, I thought you'd find
your way in Canada

and never come back.

I learned that they beat
you at the hospital...

I was devastated when she told me...

I think you should go where
people will value you more,

But I don't know
if such a place exists...

- What are you up to, Ece?
- I don't know!

Is this what you meant by
"let's go clothes shopping"?

Are there any better clothes than this?

I can't get my head round these dresses
dripping in lace! Is that guipure?

Neither can I to be honest.

That one is also beautiful!

That might suit you well.

- That?
- Yes.

I never think anything suits me...

What do you think Şahika?

To be honest...

No, it's too plain! I deserve to
be a bit more glamorous.

You're right. You only
get married once...

No, it's my third already.

This?

Let's make a selfie for Ilhan...

Come.

I think we should get this now,
give Mazhar a surprise.

- What kind of surprise?
- I'll propose.

We're going to be
really happy Şahika!

You were always saying you'd
never leave Istanbul? I don't get it.

Yes.

You're talking about marriage?

I haven't thought
about the honeymoon...

Maybe we could go to India...
But no clue yet...

İlhan... It worked! He's calling!

- Dad...
- You know my brother's going to Canada?

Is he going to a conference?

We can wait.

We haven't even settled a
date with the registry office yet.

And we're going to get PVC
windows fitted in the house.

We've already decided...

I have no idea about it...

Otherwise I'd have known, wouldn't I?

Is there such a thing
as absolute happiness?

If you need to get your revenge
in order to find this, I accept that.

We've already suffered unbearable pain.

Don't you see...

I love you.

And it's none of your business.

I just want to forgive and be forgiven.

I don't want anyone
to suffer any more...

If the pain we've suffered up until now
was essential for knowing the truth;

The truth is not worth it.

Is New Year on a Wednesday?

Great! You can get leave on Thursday
and Friday and we can go to İzmir.

We'll be stranded in snow.

Aren't you my Superman?
Fly me there if you want.

And İlhan's also nearby occasionally.

I haven't seen him for 22 months.

- You can meet my dad.
- Ece, would you sit?

Just before we got back together, I went
to Rome for a conference, you remember?

There, I met up with the doctor that I'd
worked for as her assistant in Canada.

I explained her that I got beat up
two times at the hospital...

I was walking on the thin ice...

They can even take me to the prison
whenever they want...

She said “I heard about what's happening
but did not know that it's that bad.“

Of course she has no idea.

She had pity on me...

In fact I deliberately played the victim.

I know that she had a crush
on me back then.

She said there might
be a position for me there.

I sent my CV and they
got in touch with me...

They invited me to Vancouver.

How long are you going to stay?

I'm not sure, but at least one year.

But if things go well, I could
become a citizen in five years.

Honestly, everything happened at once.

Why aren't you saying anything?

I don't know what to say.

You're probably annoyed that
I didn't tell you about it before.

I've been thinking about
whether or not to go for a while...

But I didn't want to upset you
unnecessarily then decide to stay.

I didn't notice anything...

didn't suspect.

Even when Şahika told me you were
going to Canada, I didn't believe.

Why tell me now?

Why not last week? Or next month?

I'm flying tomorrow evening.

They want me to start
straight after New Year.

I need to get up early
and pack my case.

I will help you.

Thanks, but you don't need to.
It would be a bit weird.

Anyway, I've decided what to take.

There's just a navy-blue
jacket that I couldn't find.

What do you need a summer
jacket for in Canada?

- It's still at the dry cleaners.
- True.

I'll run and pick it up in the morning.

I've got the receipt.

No need... Şahika
can get it afterwards.

She'll come and get the other
things I'm leaving here as well...

You can stay here if you
want. I'll handle the rent.

If you wish you can live together
with Şahika until she's graduated.

Do you think when you come back,
you'll find me as when you left me?

I don't really care.

Canada is just an excuse.

I want to evaporate, I want to go...

I want to breath.

I don't have the guts to look into
the eyes of my dad and Şahika.

I can't bear any more of your
aunt's forced bohemianism.

You lost your mum. My father is
alive but non-existent.

I don't want to struggle with
your ups-and-downs anymore.

I know you don't deserve this.

And that I still love you.

Maybe I even love you more
since I made up my mind to go.

I was so unjust to you.

Leave it, for god's sake...

Neither of us is good or bad...

Neither of us is guilty or not guilty.

Look around...

No-one is happy.

How can we stay happy

in the middle of all this disgrace?

My poor love...

Poor me who has done
his first and only conscious evil

to the person that he loves the most.

Anyway. I don't want you
to have pity on me.

It eats away my soul.

What are you going to do there
alone, you will eat your heart out...

I need to stay alone
with my biggest enemy...

Let's battle together with that enemy?

What time are you
setting the alarm for?

Five...

That early?

I can wake you up later if you want?

Have you been to Vancouver before?

Once.

Can you tell me what is like?

Ece please...

Don't disappoint your
knight with innocent face.

A bit like Istanbul.

There's one part that
looks like the Bosphorus.

But much cleaner of course.

There are some huge parks.

You often see foxes, squirrels
and raccoons in the middle of the city.

So beautiful...

Come on, sleep in my arms.

Maybe it's better if I pack
now and get going.

Mazhar...

We're both tired.

Come on...

Sleep in my arms...

You shouldn't have.

I brewed it just how you like it.

Thanks.

As it's our last breakfast,
it should be beautiful.

Ece! Give me your hand.

Are you OK?

In the next month you can
take two Siralex per day.

You are afraid that I would disturb you
there with calls and letters?

You know I don't mean that.

Ece don't forget your medication.

Every morning, every evening...

If only your Ece goes well.

Have you ever known me
without this Mazhar?

You just want to see
yourself in my eyes.

Did you ever dare to see
the world through my eyes?

You decided to take them.

I thought that my love could
save us as well as our compassion.

Poor TJ was exhausted to cook me artichokes
believing that it's good for the liver..

But... How dare you?

Anyway forget it...

Don't be late...

It might not work out there...

and I'll come pattering back
in a few months...

What would change
even if you come back?

You did not believe me so many years,
will you if you come back?

I did not believe what?

- Come on... Ask me and relax...
- Ask you what?

It's been constantly aching
in your head since years.

- What should I ask Ece?
- Ask it and relax.

Come on...

While we were together...

Have you ever slep-

But even if I did...

Is it that important?

Mazhar...

If only we could be powerful
enough to live just for each other.

If only you never go.

We could try to work out
where we went wrong.

We might even have a baby.

Can't you promise me
you'll come back?

You're being unfair.

You could at least
console me with a lie.

Come on, hug me...

Hug me...

Mazhar...

Hug me...

I don't want you to go.

You're not going.

- Don't go...
- Please...

another year has passed

Judas trees blossomed late

cherry blossoms, tulips shed

no-one picked up a
fig from a tree and ate it

and no-one turned a head towards Bosphorus

no-one could take refuge in Istanbul
against the evil of Istanbul.

FOR SALE

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

TOGETHER, WE SHALL DIE
