- Please, Yilmaz! Hurry! - Almost there, Neriman.
C'mon, hurry!
- What's wrong?. Why did you stop?. - The light is red, Neriman!
- Why didn't you say so! - Should I stop, or go, tell me?.
- Are you crazy?. Step on it! - OK, Neriman. OK
OK, almost there. Hang on!
You said it's 10 days till your due date, right?.
Yes. But the baby hasn't moved since yesterday.
- So what do you say?. - Nothing to worry about.
The heartbeat's quite normal. Let's wait till you go into labour.
- Don't worry. Everything's on track. - Thank you.
Take care now.
- Quick! - Hang on, Neriman! Hang on!
- Why isn't it moving?. - C'mon now, Inci.
Look, we can come back tonight if anything happens. C'mon, please!
Hang on, Neriman! Nearly there!
- What's up, Neriman?. - Look out, Yilmaz!
My water broke, Omer!
Smile! Smile!
OK, Neriman.
I can send you a copy if you like.
That would be great.
LOVE ""JUST A COlNClDENCE""
Hello, honey?.
I'm OK. On my way to the audition. How about you?.
I have a few things to finish, then I'll be on my way.
Come along around 8 pm.
I'll be there as soon as I'm done.
It's the restaurant on the right on the way to Sariyer, right?.
Right. Onur will pick you up anyway.
No need, sweetie. I know the place. OK, wish me luck.
Don't worry, darling. It'll be great.
Love you. Bye.
Me too.
- OK, get yourself ready then. - Shit!
Don't you dare tidy up, mum. You already have, haven't you?.
OK, mum, you angel. Bye.
Centrum Productions. Yes. Till 7 pm. Didn't your agency give the address?.
- I'm here for the film audition. - Here you are.
Sorry to keep you waiting, but...
No, no problem.
You'll have the cover photo tomorrow.
And Ozgur will set aside all day tomorrow...
And here he is! Welcome. How's it going?.
- Good. Forgive me for being late - Hello. Ayse. Good to see you.
- I've been dying to meet you. - Great.
Why don't you start right away?. And I'll go pick up your mother.
Thanks, Onur. This way.
Hello, welcome. Can you introduce yourself please?.
My name's Deniz Usman. I was born in Ankara on September 1, 1977.
I was born in Ankara on September 1, 1977. I lived there till 2002.
At 14, I started acting and drama classes...
...at the Ankara Arts Theatre.
After moving to lstanbul, I started working for a magazine.
Then when I got my own studio I turned to more individual work.
I'm 168 cm. and weigh around 58 kg, I think.
You've had a lot of success internationally.
But you also shoot magazine covers, you do more commercial stuff.
- Which is you?. - Both, actually.
If I'm able to connect with my subject...
...then any kind of work is rewarding.
Do you speak French?.
Yes. I haven't for a long time, but I can try.
But no, I don't need an actress who speaks perfect French.
I need someone who speaks French with a Turkish accent.
Otherwise I would find a French actress. That's why I'm here.
OK.
There are many photographers...
...taking all kinds of different photos. But your work stands out on its own.
What's your secret?.
What makes you different?.
I can't actually say I have a secret.
I think where I'm lucky is that my father was a photographer.
Here she is! Mum, I'll say it one last time. don't talk about work!
OK, son! You've said it 50 times!
- Good evening, hello. - Welcome, dear.
Sorry I'm a bit late. How do you do?.
- My dad, Sadik. My mum, Gulsen. - Great to meet you. Hello.
OK, let's sit down.
- Honey, you wouldn't believe what happened - Wait, darling. You can tell me later.
Excuse me!
Oh, my boy!
- It's wonderful. - Welcome. Thanks.
Neriman Teyze?.
Would you allow me the honour of escorting you around the exhibition?.
- All right. Go on then. - I'll be along in a bit.
How long will you be staying in lstanbul?.
We're heading back tomorrow. Work won't wait, as you know.
- Right. Dad, wine?. - Talking of work...
...when Burak said you're an actress it rather put us off to be honest.
Really?. Why?.
Don't misunderstand, we're open-minded...
Mum, can I have your glass please?.
Don't drink too much, son. You're driving.
Don't worry about me. I have the most gorgeous driver.
Are all actors' lives chaotic?. No.
But they're up and down to be honest.
- Well, it's not good for family life. - Shall we order?.
Shall we order our fish, mum?.
- Want to look at the menu, dad?. - But luckily you seem to be sensible.
Mum, we weren't going to discuss this.
Son, you won't let me say a word! OK, I'll shut up.
Let's drink to the new store in Moscow.
You made the right decision, dear.
- About what?. - Why is no one looking after us?.
- About acting. - Excuse me!
Sorry.
- Can we have the menu please?. - Well, you're right to give up acting.
Thank you.
Dad, what are you having?.
If it isn't farmed, I'll have the sea bass.
- Mum, you?. - Striped red mullet.
Deniz, what will you have?.
To be honest, I don't see why you think that.
- But it's the season for mullet, dear! - No. I mean about me and acting.
Just today I went for a big audition. There's a good chance it'll work out.
And if it does, we'll be shooting mostly in France.
As it happens, I have no intention of giving up acting.
Sorry, I have to get this call.
For a meet-the-parents dinner, it doesn't get better, Zeynep.
But there's this crazy thing going on. I'm about to lose it.
They think I am going to give up acting.
How do I know?. Sure, it's a subject to be discussed with Burak.
She said "We were rather put off to hear you're an actress to be honest.
It's no profession for a woman who's starting a family to be honest.
We have our own views to be honest.
Well done for giving up to be honest."
As you can see, Zeynep, I'm in deep shit to be honest.
Umm, I'll call you back later, OK?.
- Should I send flowers or what?. - What's done is done.
- Why did you lie to them?. - Move over to the right, Deniz.
We have to take a turn ahead.
- Why did you say I'll give up acting?. - Well, what was I supposed to do?.
They've been nagging me for years.
Why do you think they haven't met you till now?.
Burak decided on my behalf and went and persuaded his parents.
So these things happen, right, Burak?.
If you would have told me, couldn't we have persuaded them together?.
Persuaded them of what, Deniz?.
Their attitude is obvious.
- How are you going to persuade them?. - This is my career, Burak! OK?.
And I don't plan to give it up.
- Use the mirrors, will you! - I am using the mirrors!
- Sure! - Don't change the subject!
Call that using the mirrors, huh?.
OK, so you lied. Then what?.
As I won't be opening a store anywhere, what are you planning to do?.
- What's wrong with opening one?. - What?.
- What do you mean "what"?. Why not?. - You have to be joking.
- No. - You don't know what you're saying.
You don't know what you're doing! Today it's the French film, tomorrow...
- It could be the chance of my... - It's always the chance of your life!
Everything's the chance of your life!
Whatever kind of life that is. Whatever theatre doesn't do for you.
- You're doing it again. - What?.
Whenever an opportunity comes up you try to get in the way.
What are you talking about?. Give me a break, for God's sake!
No, the pay's bad. No, it's out of town. No, it's this.
So it's my fault you're a failure, huh?. I've prevent you from getting an Oscar.
- You think I'm a failure?. - Just take a look at yourself, Deniz.
Just take a look at yourself, Deniz.
If it's not the chance of your life, it's a French film. Wake up, Deniz!
What are you doing, Deniz?. Where are you going?.
Deniz, come here!
What is the problem for God"s sake?.
Now I'll go, "One, two, three!" and a bird will fly out of here.
But you have to smile. Here we go. One, two, three!
- Excuse me, whose exhibition is this?. - I think he's over there.
Welcome to you all.
These photographs here were taken...
...by a studio artist, a professional.
- I'm hanging up, Burak. - Deniz.
They're some of the many he took during a career of more than 40 years.
In fact, they're the few that have survived of thousands.
- Burak, what is it?. - l"ve parked in the worst spot.
Shit will fly any second. Can you please come out?.
I can see you. OK, I'm coming.
Foto Turgut was a tiny studio in the Gazi district of Ankara.
And Yilmaz Turgut...
...took photos there every day for more than 40 years.
Ten people a day used to come to the studio.
That makes 70 people a week.
It means seeing 300 faces a month, or 3650 a year.
Or 36,500 every 10 years.
After a while, you stop feeling alone at all.
Because as time goes on everyone becomes a familiar face.
When we lost him around a year ago...
...I felt that staging an exhibition like this would be a way of thanking him...
...on behalf of myself and of everyone in the photographs.
Thanks to you all for coming.
Deniz.
Look, don't let us part like this. I'm flying to Russia in the morning.
- Don't send me off like this, please. - Have a good trip.
Look, OK, I got a bit annoyed. I'm sorry.
OK?.
Burak, if you think like your parents, we should talk.
If I did, I wouldn't be with you in the first place.
But when you...
When you start talking about "the chance of your life"...
...well, I get upset. Understand me a little.
Aren't we the chance of our lives for one another?.
- Let's talk later. - OK. OK.
Give me a kiss then.
This only happens because I love you so much. You know that, don't you?.
Really?.
Really.
Have a good trip.
- Zeynep! - I'm in here.
God damn, Zeynep! Didn't I tell you I couldn't walk in these heels?.
- See?. Broken! - Good! Serves you right.
- How come you never called back?. - You won't believe what happened.
I spoke to you, looked in the mirror and the woman was right behind me.
- You're kidding! And?. - She heard everything. I blew it!
- Good! She heard for herself. - Forget that.
I'm going to show you something. Take a good look, OK?.
Hey, is this you?.
I think so.
Where did you get it?.
Ozgur, don't be angry, but if you can come back sometime..
-...before that shop's rented. I.. Huh?. - I will, I will.
Look, I'm busy the next few weeks...
...but I'll come after that. Promise, OK?.
All right, all right.
- Son! - Mum.
You've made me so happy, Ozgur. But your dad too. Your dad too.
You know what?. If he can really see us out there...
- OK, mum. OK, sweetheart. OK. - He must be so proud of you.
He must be so proud.
OK, c'mon now. Don't be late. Call me when you arrive, OK?.
- I will, but when I get home. - OK, when you get home.
I can't work the mobile thing.
Mum, I want to ask you something.
Remember a photo of me...
...when I was around eight taken at a place called Foto Turgut?.
I'm in a flowery dress, my hair's shoulder-length.
- You mean your uncle Turgut?. - OK. Never mind, mum.
- Listen, I'm hanging up, OK?. - OK, honey.
- Good night. - Good night.
Why did I bother asking?.
Hey, everyone just loved the exhibition.
Wait till the magazine cover's out and people will go really wild.
- Look, I don't plan to stick around. - OK. What time are we meeting tomorrow?.
- Why?. - What do you mean "why"?.
To shoot the cover, right?. You're getting dementia at your age?.
- What's wrong?. - Can we get out of here?.
- Ozgur, what's wrong?. - I need some air.
OK, OK. C'mon. Oh my God, what's going on?.
You OK?.
Watch the stairs. Don't rush. I'll turn on the light, then go up.
OK, OK.
- Feeling a bit better?. - I'm fine, I'm fine.
- Grab hold of me if you like. - No, it's OK. I'm fine going slow.
- What happened all of a sudden?. - I just felt a bit dizzy.
OK, you lie down and rest right now. I'll be here anyway.
- Don't be crazy. Go back to your place. - No, I'm staying.
- There's no need. I'm fine, I tell you. - Are you sure?.
Positive, really.
- OK. - There's a load to do tomorrow anyway.
- OK. If anything happens, call me. - OK.
- Whatever the time. Good night then. - Thanks. Good night.
Medical Testing Centre
Head to the right a bit.
- Don't move. Just a second. - Dad, you be in it too.
Son, don't move. Hold on.
Thank you very much. Do go ahead.
- Can you get home all right?. - Yes.
Off you go then. Show me.
Yusuf, has the Turbo gum come?.
The kids from the next street took the lot, Ozgur.
- Hey, kiddy! Showing off are you?. - Bug off to your own street!
This street is ours!
That's our store! You nabbed all the Turbos!
What's it to you?.
- Bug off or I'll smash your face! - If you can catch me.
Come here and say that!
Two scoops. Not too much, please! That's quite enough.
Ozgur! That bike was supposed to be your birthday present!
- Your dad couldn't wait, could he?. - Can I ride around a bit more?.
OK. Take your dad his lunch then, And grab the yoghurt on your way in.
Are you here?. Wait, just a second.
Hey, what are you doing?. Didn't I say no raw dough, huh?.
- Here. Be careful. - OK, see you.
Goodbye. Ah, just look at you!
Didn't we tell you to keep away?.
Hey, what's going on?.
- If only we had more time. - Keep at it till you're happy.
- I'll handle the other side. - Thanks.
Eren, any chance of putting off the other side for half an hour?.
- OK, no problem. - You're wonderful. Thanks. Perfect.
- Excuse me a moment! - Yes?.
Do you think I could speak to the exhibitor?.
Dad, your lunch... Ah!
Do you know who this girl is?.
- Why do you ask?. - I think it's me.
Well, it's a lot like me as a girl, except I have no memory of the photo.
So you don't know if you're the girl in the photo?.
I know it seems crazy, but I have no childhood photos.
- That's why I can't be sure. - Are you from Ankara?.
- Yes. - Where did you live in Ankara?.
You Ankara guys meet...
...and always end up knowing each other from somewhere!
We lived in Cankaya. Is that where your father's studio was?.
- In the Gazi district actually. - That's where my grandfather lived!
Grandpa's sweet wafer!
Dad, we'll fetch you both tonight and go back to our place.
Off you go to work now.
Don't go outside without your hat. OK, sweetheart?.
Do you have to make A ceremony out of it everytime?.
How come you get all the luck?.
- Sorry, what was your name?. - Deniz.
I'm Onur. Good to meet you.
OK. Now Deniz, how about we take a few photos of you here, right now?.
- You mean, with my hair like...?. - Sure. It's great. Perfect.
In front of your childhood photo for instance.
And suppose we use them later for a magazine cover?.
As publicity for the exhibition.
- I don't really know. - Thank you big time!
You saved my life.
- Hello?. - What should I do?.
Just stand in front of your photo.
Like this?.
Weird, isn't it?. I have zero memory of a photo like this.
Maybe you never came to pick it up. That's why you don't remember.
Shall I tell you something else you don't remember?.
- Yes?. - While you were having this taken...
...I was there too.
Do we know each other?.
I'm really sorry.
If I could find the thing.
Hello, Zeynep?.
I'm on my way.
I have to rush.
My memory's terrible. Can you tell me straight out?.
If you come to the studio tomorrow, I'll give you a copy of the photo...
...and we'll have a chance to talk. Onur, bring me a card, will you?.
- Thank you again, Deniz. - Thanks, Onur Bey.
- Nice to meet you, Ozgur Bey. - You too.
Bye!
Grandpa, what are they doing?.
Shooting a film, dear.
Mum, do you shoot films with dad?.
Our film days are over, dear. Now c'mon, eat your dinner.
Grandpa, when I grow up I'm going to be an actor like you.
Deniz, eat up if you're going to. Otherwise go straight to bed.
OK.
Mum, can you move over a bit?.
One... Two...
- Shall we shoot a film?. - Huh?.
Grandpa's little outlaw! Come here, c'mon! C'mon!
That's it.
Now, Ozgur, let's listen to that heart of yours.
Get better soon, lad.
- You too. - Ah, you too! You too.
- Ozgur?. Does it hurt a lot, dear?. - Aha.
Oh, sweetie! Get up and let's go.
No, no. You must stay.
- Really, why?. - You said there was nothing serious?.
- He has an irregular heartbeat. - It's his heart?.
We need to do an ECG. We should consult a cardiologist.
- It's his heart?. - Yes. Come on.
The man can't even look after himself!
How many times have I said not to let the girl out!
No, it's over. No more grandpa! She's not going!
But we have to leave her with him till school starts!
- Take a leave then! - How?. I don't have any days left!
- Leave the job then. - Leave?. Nice!
- Who'll pay the school fees then?. - Great! So it's snide comments now!
- Zeynep! It's me, it's me! - Really?.
- Yes! - Well?.
Plus the guy knows me. But I can't figure out where from.
- Ozgur Turgut's telephone?. - Can I speak to Ozgur?.
- I'm his manager, Onur. Who's calling?. - I need to speak to him in person.
Anything to add?. If not, I'm done.
- No, you've done a great job. - What's it about?. Can I help?.
- I can't give you any details. - Can you hold on a second?.
- Hello?. - Ozgur Bey, hello.
- I have Dr Erdem on the line. - OK. I'm here.
- Ozgur Bey?. - Hello. How are you?.
Fine thanks. We've scheduled you in.
In order for full recovery, we need to hospitalize you for a while.
I see. How long do I have to stay?.
At least a week, Ozgur.
Well, is Wednesday OK?.
Let's not delay it. Tomorrow is best.
- OK, thanks. Goodbye. - Goodbye.
- What's it?. - Can you cancel this week's schedule?.
- Why?. - I'll explain later. Forget it.
- What am I supposed to tell people?. - Make up some excuses. I'm out of here.
I'm not taking those pills!
Dad, what does 'shooting a film' mean?.
- Shooting a film?. - Aha.
Now look. The button's here.
But taking a photograph doesn't mean just pressing the button.
If you know how to look from the right angle...
...you'll find beauty in everything.
And if you capture that beauty, then you've taken a good photograph.
Off you go then.
There you go! Now to somewhere nicer.
Ozgur Turgut.
Oh my God! The guy's gorgeous!
Don't laugh!
Ankara-born photographer. Awards. Blah, blah, blah...
Look, sure he's not kidding you?. He saw you had no memory.
"How did you get into photography??'
"My dad was actually a photographer so I've been close to it all my life.
But I'd say my real interest began...
...after a bike accident I had as a boy."
What?. What did you say?.
- He had a bike accident as a boy. - That's him?. Why didn't I twig?.
- Twig what?. Who?. - I don't believe it!
This way, precious. Let's sit on that bench there. Good girl!
- Here, a secret notebook for you. - Like my secret box?.
More secret than that.
You must write in the notebook everything you feel in your heart.
Minds forget, hearts never do.
Can I write about the boy with the red bike?.
You little rascal!
Well, they say great romances start with a fight.
Yours started with an accident, didn't it?.
- Grandpa, how does love happen?. - No one honestly knows, Deniz.
But there are certain signs of course. Your heart races, for example.
You always, always want to see and to be with that person.
They mean the world to you. You care about nothing else.
- Were you in love with granny?. - I'm still in love with her.
There's no knowing if it's fate, destiny or coincidence...
...but the heart goes and chooses one person.
When I first saw your mother...
...I said to myself, "I'm going to marry that woman."
Sometimes you know at first sight that person is your destiny.
Sometimes you search for a lifetime and never find the one.
Wow.
Girls, we leave for Ankara tomorrow at 9.30 a.m. from Taksim.
- No one's to forget anything. - OK.
- That was directed at me. - Of course it was!
I'm off to the guy's studio to pick up that photo.
- Want to come too?. - No. Why would l?.
Ooph! Fine then. You're always such a spoilsport.
- Hello. - Come in.
- This place is so beautiful. - Thanks.
- Is this where you work?. - Yes. Well, live actually.
- Look, can we drop the formal 'you'?. - OK.
Perfect.
- Do have... - Did you...?. Sorry...
Did you take all of them?.
Yes. Except that one.
That's you, isn't it?.
- You remembered in the end, huh?. - Yes. More than that in fact.
- Let's say I read about it. - What's that?.
My diary. Look, I'll show you something.
- Look. - What, here?.
Yes.
"l finally met the boy with the red bike.
I jumped in front of the bike just like they do in the movies.
It really hurt, but that's OK."
How do you mean?. You jumped out on purpose?.
Seems so.
I've been plagued by guilt for years and you jumped out on purpose, huh?.
I'm really sorry.
- Tea?. - Sure.
How come you have no childhood photos?.
They got lost.
Well, when we moved some of the boxes got lost.
All the photos, albums and stuff were in those boxes.
When you have no childhood photos, you even forget what you looked like.
That's why it was so weird seeing that photo yesterday.
You're really lucky. I bet you have hundreds of photos.
- Thousands. - Wow!
What do you do?.
I'm an actress.
Right. I should have guessed.
I'm not as good as I was as a kid, but well, I try.
- Where do you act?. - We have a theatre group.
I sometimes go to auditions. Films, TV series and stuff.
Actually there's a chance I'll act in a film any time now. But we'll see.
That's great. What kind of film?.
A romance. I don't know if I'll get the part, but I really want it.
- I reckon you will. - Seriously?.
- I have a hunch. - God, I hope so.
You seem to pick out really special people.
And this is one of them.
- How many years has it been?. - Twenty-five.
Twenty-five.
But your eyes haven't changed at all. They're still the same.
He's looking really deep. So warm.
- Want to meet him?. - How do you mean?.
Well, the captain is a great cook and he is not far away. We could go.
- What, now?. - How about next time we meet?.
- Sure. - Twenty-five years later.
OK. Let's do it.
Agh! Sorry!
Hold on tight!
- What?. - Hold on tight!
- Hey! - Captain?.
- Ozgur! Welcome! - Thanks. How are you?.
Fine, raring to go!
- How about you?. - Good. Great, thanks.
- Deniz. - Hello. How do you do?.
- Nice to meet you. - You too.
Thanks. Sit down, sit down. Just a minute.
It's the first time you've come with a girl.
And you've struck gold. Don't let her go, OK?.
We're childhood friends, captain. From ages ago.
Even better. Sit down.
- What are you drinking?. - What will you have?.
Raki?.
- OK. Some mezzes... - I'll handle that, don't worry.
Thanks, captain.
- Where did you go to school?. - Kolej. You?.
Deneme.
I have loads of friends from Deneme!
- Like who?. - Irem, Aysegul, Idil...
- You must know Alp. Tall, fair... - Curly...
- Right. Curly Alp. - Yes, I know Alp.
Here you go, guys.
- Thank you. - Thanks Captain.
I was at university with Alp after that.
But I've no idea what he did later.
- Neither do l. - What did you do at the university?.
Uni.. I was already working for my dad, so I wasn't that well prepared.
And then, to be honest, I didn't really make a go of it.
So you wanted to be a photographer right from the start.
Yes. Not quite from the start, but let's say so. Want some water?.
- I'll drink it straight. - Here you are, the mezzes.
- Thanks, captain. - Thank you.
I'll leave it to you to serve.
OK, thanks a lot.
- Thank you. - It all looks great.
Weird, isn't it, that we never ran into each other in Ankara?.
- Maybe we did. - Maybe.
In that case...
...to our childhood meeting and that old photo I found years later.
Your lad with the bike still hasn't ridden past?.
- I'm not waiting for him. - Of course you aren't!
- I'm just teasing. Now on your feet! - Where are we going?.
To have a beautiful picture taken of you, huh?.
- I don't want to! I'm staying here. - Staying here, huh?. You just come here!
Alone for all the world to see It just isn't right
How could you go so heartlessly?. You can't just leave like that
Ozgur?. What are you doing, son?. Didn't you promise not to run around?.
- Look, you'll get all sweaty. - Mum, please! I'm so bored.
- Can't I go out?. - Turn that off. Bored, are you?.
Listen, if you promise not to run, you can take your dad his lunch. OK?.
- A man's word! - A man's word.
OK, off you go then.
- Hurray! - Not so fast though!
Hey, what's up?. Lost your guts without the bike?.
Now, turn your head a little to the right.
I know you're bored, but it'll be over in a minute.
Look, like this. That'll come out perfect.
Now I'll go "One, two, three!" and a bird will fly out of here. OK?.
But you have to smile too. Here we go then.
One, two, three! Smile a bit. Smile, come on now.
Dad, your lunch...
Ozgur, what have you done, son?. I'm sorry, Kemal.
You clean up the mess there. Come and I'll write you a ticket.
- You come along too, dear. - OK.
- Shall we shoot a film?. - Aha.
- Thank you very much. - You're welcome.
Raki?.
No, I shouldn't drink any more. Enough is enough.
OK.
- Where are you performing in Ankara?. - At the Sinasi Theatre.
- You know it?. - Yes.
- How long will you be there?. - Three weeks or so.
It isn't clear yet what happens after that.
Ozgur, can we go?. It's just we're leaving really early tomorrow.
Sure.
- Captain, can we get... - Hey, where are you going?.
You think I'd let you go without some halva?.
- Captain, another time?. - It's now or never.
- OK, let's have some. - Are you sure?.
Sure I'm sure!
- OK, captain. You win again. - Excuse me.
- Hello?. - Darling?.
- Burak?. - I'm just found the time to call.
You should have seen the crowd at the opening. How are you?.
- I'm fine. - Any news about the film?.
- Nope. They haven't called yet. - Right. So it didn't work out.
It's only been two days, Burak! They'll call. Just wait a bit.
Well, they'd have called if they wanted you.
I know you get mad at me, but I'm right every time.
- Here you go again. I'm hanging up. - Go ahead if you want to be pigheaded.
- I'm hanging up, Burak! - Have you been drinking, huh?.
You sound weird. Are you out?. Where are you?.
I'm at the Academy Awards, Burak. OK, bye.
Thanks.
- Everything OK?. - Yes.
Fine.
Your boyfriend?.
Yes.
Have you been together long?.
Yes.
Longer than long.
You?. Do you have a girlfriend?.
No.
The captain forgot the forks.
I don't think I can get on that bike in this state. My head's spinning like crazy.
- You think I can?. - No idea.
- No, look, we'll take a cab. - OK.
Hello there.
- Deniz, where do you live?. - Umm, Cihangir.
Can we go first to Cihangir, then on to Balat?.
Deniz.
Deniz, we've arrived in Cihangir. Deniz?.
Let's just go straight to Balat.
With your face on my chest
You drifted off again
As dawn slipped into your room
The sun spilled into your hair
For the first time this morning my shattered life is whole
Just one night with you and I'm complete
Even if I vanished, if I saw my end
Even if I had a taste of death, Still I wouldn't be defeated
Even if I faded away, if I knew my end
Even if I had a taste of death, Still I wouldn't be defeated
All my victories are for you
I rose quietly from your side
I stepped into the new day
Your breath is gold dust in the air
I'm a stranger to this feeling
For the first time this morning my lost soul is calm and at peace
Last night I was born again with you
Even if I vanished, if I saw my end
Even if I had a taste of death, Still I wouldn't be defeated
Even if I faded away, if I knew my end
Even if I had a taste of death, Still I wouldn't be defeated
Even if I faded away, if I knew my end
Even if I had a taste of death, Still I wouldn't be defeated
Even if I faded away, if I knew my end
Even if I had a taste of death, Still I wouldn't be defeated
All my victories are for you
- Grandpa! - I guess he's inside.
Dad!
Dad?.
Is he asleep?.
Deniz. We won't be seeing Grandpa again.
How come?.
Because...
- Because he's gone somewhere else. - No, he hasn't! Grandpa's in there.
Deniz.
No. Grandpa isn't here any longer.
- In that case, I'm going with him. - No, no. Don't say things like that.
- Have a good day, Yilmaz. - Welcome, Yusuf.
- Heard about the funeral?. - Whose funeral?.
Well, he lived in the next street. Kemal.
- The actor?. - Yes, he's passed away.
- Oh no! - Afraid so.
I took his granddaughter's photo only two days ago.
God rest his soul.
Ozgur!
Shit!
Shit! Shit!
- Where are you?. I was worried sick! - I forgot my phone was on silent.
- I'm on my way. Don't go without me! - We're waiting!
- OK. I have to get my bag. - I've got it.
- You're a darling. - Where are you?.
Don't ask. I'll tell you later. OK, bye!
- I'm here, I'm here! Sorry! - Where the hell were you, Deniz?.
- Hey, I'm here. Don't ask. - No, tell me now!
- Sorry, everyone! - Before you get on!
- I stayed at Ozgur's. Or so it seems. - What?.!
I'm really sorry, really.
- How are you doing, Deniz?. - Fine, not bad. You?.
So what kept you?.
I crashed at a friend's. I guess I overslept.
Morning!
Hey, why are you sleeping there?.
I'll give you some good news to wake you up.
They called from the magazine. They're crazy for the cover photos.
- Where's Deniz?. - Who's Deniz?.
Deniz!
Is she gone?.
So sorry for the trouble I caused. Thanks for everything. Forgive me, Deniz.
- Was Deniz that... - Oh God!
Deniz, the cover girl! Hey, you snake in the grass!
Onur, my bike's at the captain's. Can you pick it up?.
- And let me have the car, OK?. - What do you want the car for?.
Unbelievable! No answering, acting, all stuck-up.
- Hello?. - Ozgur Bey?.
- Yes, speaking?. - You're due to be hospitalized today.
Dr Erdem asked me to confirm with you.
Hospitalized?.
OK. Let me call back in a few minutes. Thank you. Goodbye.
Who was that?.
Guess I should be saying get well. You're going to be hospitalized.
- What's going on, Ozgur?. - Look, it's nothing serious.
The other night you passed out. You cancel the whole week's work.
You're going hospital. And it's nothing serious.
- I'm not going to be hospitalized. Really. - So what was that call about then?.
- Well... - Look, I'm worried now!
But there's nothing to worry about.
I'm not going to hospital either. Where's the car?.
- If you want the car, first you talk. - Sit down.
We got in the cab and that's all I remember.
I mean, I was totally out.
Then when I open my eyes I find 20 missed calls from you.
I wake up, I'm in his room.
Like so. That's all.
- So you're saying nothing happened. - It didn't! Stop it, for goodness sake!
Is he as gorgeous for real as he is in that picture?. Huh?.
Ooph, Zeynep!
Yes, Deniz?.
Burak, how are you?.
Fine. Having lunch. You?. Still at the Oscars?.
I'm in Bolu. On my way to Ankara for the tour.
I completely forgot. Sorry, I can't keep up with you.
Burak, I'm sorry I hung up on you last night. OK?.
But we have problems. You know that. Get back and we'll talk face to face.
But you'll be on tour when I get back, won't you?.
That's the whole issue anyway. Right, honey?.
I have to go. The minibus is leaving.
- Talk to you soon. - Bye.
Ozgur! C'mon, aren't you going to pick up your report card?.
Yes, I am!
Don't forget to stop by your dad's on the way!
OK!
In truth, I am that merry wanderer of the night. I jest to Oberon...
- What's going on?. - I'm practising for the theatre exam.
Ankara Arts Theatre.
Young talents wanted!
- Inci! - Yes?.
- Do you know about this?. - What's that?.
Missy here is preparing for the theatre exam.
So who's taking the exam for science high school?.
I don't want to do science! I want to be an actress.
Fine. So let's take you out of school. We won't waste the money. Right, Inci?.
Since missy wants to rough it as an actress.
- Well, if you didn't shout... - Don't make me shout then!
- Forget AAT! Put it out of your head! - No, I won't!
- What did you say?. - I'm taking the exam!
- Deniz! - What's got into her?.
- She's growing up! - Great!
We inherited her from your father.
Dad, it's me!
Come here now. I was expecting you.
Close your eyes. I have a surprise for you.
Hold out your hands.
Open your eyes.
Dad. Thank you. It's really great.
Your present for the report card. Like it?.
Aha. It's really great.
Caner. Will we have guitars like that one day?.
- You can today if you want. - How do you mean?.
- If you have the guts. - What does that mean?.
- Hey, who threw that?. - C'mon, forget it.
- No way! Who threw that, huh?. - It's OK. Let it go.
Let me just wash my hands. Just keep quiet. Here, hold this.
So here we are, at last.
- Zeynep, I don't believe it! - Hey, what's going on?.
- Out, quick. Here, take my bag. - Hand it over.
- How come?. - You forgot this.
- Did you... Come to bring me this?. - You said it meant a lot to you.
Plus I forgot to give you my number.
Thank you so much.
- Really. - It's nothing.
We're about to start rehearsals any minute now. So...
- Maybe afterwards... - Maybe when I'm done...
- If you want to have a drink.. - That would be nice.
See you later then.
See you.
- What's going on?. - Take this, take this.
He's watching, he's watching.
I don't believe it. I've got it, I've got it.
- How long is it... - Now I'm here...
You first.
I was going to ask how long it's been since you were last here.
And I was going to say, now I'm here I realize how much I miss Ankara.
My dad had this theory.
He used to say that for any person from Ankara, lstanbul is like someone else's child.
When it smiles you love it, when it cries you want to run away.
That's exactly it, I guess.
- I was a pain yesterday. I'm so sorry. - It's me who should be sorry.
I mean, when you didn't wake up I couldn't figure out what to do.
- So what will you do in Ankara?. - See to my dad's studio.
It needs tidying up before we rent the place.
Tenants have to be found. My mum has to like them and so on.
It must be hard for your mum.
It's not easy. But she's a strong woman.
- How are your folks doing?. - Fine. They're fine.
