NEVER A ROSE WITHOUT...
ZEY

There's this distance in love.

You may see a person every day,

you may spend years with him,

but the distance you take
is never the same.

Then one day, comes a moment

where you can see that person
without looking,

and hear without listening.

If you find that person,

your soul will know
he's the one who understands you.

If you live by your heart,

when he kisses you without touching,

you'll feel it.

The vacation destination
of the couple,

who have been together for
two weeks, is Maldives.

Do you think this is the love of the year?

Fast loves end quickly, honey.

I hope they don't break up but we
saw a lot of love that ended here.

Is this why you went to university?

Is this why I went to university?

Just when I was about to go out,
you put beans in front of me.

Didn't you go to a culinary school?
Aren't you supposed to cook?

You don't even know how to shell beans.
Give it to me.

First, remove the strings from the beans.

I could teach you how to cook,
why did you go to its university?

We all learned it
from our mothers or grandmothers.

Mom, I didn't study to be a cook.

I keep telling you,
but you refuse to accept.

I graduated from a culinary school.

I want to have an academic career.

The girl we'll marry off
is a cook, supposedly.

She doesn't even know
how to cook or shell beans.

I won't cook for anyone.

Sorry, not my thing.

What's it?

What's going on?

Gosh, did she get a bonus or something?

I don't know. We'll see what's it about.

When did she get a driver's license?

Saadet, Elya. Open the door for me.

Come here.

Open it.

No way.

It's hard to believe.

But I'm officially engaged.

Come here now.

Gosh, when did it happen?

Just cool it.

When did it happen? Who're you engaged to?

You know the man I broke up

after seeing his photo with another woman?

We decided to meet up for one last time.

I went there
and I couldn't believe my eyes.

There were rose petals everywhere.

Come sit down and tell us everything.

He has a handsome, filthy rich friend.

I want you to meet him.

What?

Do I have to meet with someone

just because he's rich and handsome?

Is that all you care about in life?

Do we interfere in your marriage?

If one wants to stay single,
you shouldn't interfere either.

Let us find our soul mates,

someone to love deeply.

You can't even find your socks,

don't make me open my mouth now.

Stop this nonsense and bring us tea.

Looks beautiful.

Look at you.

Mom, are you done with it?

She just wants what's best for you.

Forget it.

Who's calling me?

Hello?

How are you doing, sister?

My dear.

Listen, Zeyno, either you make it happen

or I'll call Perihan's son.

I said my piece.

Yes, dear?

Right.

Shame on us.

We can never make you smile like that.

Would you look at this?

He sent me flowers
to celebrate our two-month anniversary.

He was going to come Izmir,

but he had guests over
on a moment's notice.

Why didn't he send flowers to your home?

Now...

He once sent me teddy bear,

but Mom refused to believe
that I bought it.

Look at this.

My favorite flower.

I bought you a cactus, what about it?

Let's say I couldn't cook anything
after marriage,

should I show my husband
photos of some dishes?

Is this acceptable?

Gosh.

We talk every day.

He's so sweet.

He got to know me pretty well.

He must have too much time on his hands.
Is he unemployed?

On the contrary,
he's been working since a young age.

His family owns a wood workshop.

He oversees the craftsmen there.

- Isn't it cool?
- So cool.

Will you eat cold stones for dinner?

- Okay, then take a look at this.
- Gosh.

Are you ready for it?

What's this?

Is this a drawing?

He's your soon-to-be brother-in-law.

- He looks great.
- When I saw this photo-

So, Zeyno? Did you convince her?

Mom, we talked it out.

I'll go to Istanbul.

- What?
- What?

Stay where you are.

Where did that come from?

I got a response for my job application.

They want an interview.

Is there no job in Izmir?

Saadet, she got the response just now.

They sent the mail right now, I saw it.

I'm surprised too.

You don't even know them,
will you go there for an interview?

- Exactly.
- Mom, I can't further study in Izmir.

I have to go to Istanbul.

I'll both work and study there.
You know I want to do a master's degree.

Okay, then leave in the morning
and return in the evening.

It will be hard to do that.

I'll leave the day before,

I'll have the interview

and return the next day so I can rest.

- Just three days.
- Three days. She can stay that long.

She can stay at my cousin's house, even.

Let me get tea for myself.

Will you think about it?

I will.

- What do you think?
- Have you gone crazy?

Will you stay with someone you don't know?

I won't stay at his house.

But I'll visit him.

We can see each other.

I'll stay at your cousin.
But I want to see him.

I really do.

Sure, go see that handsome man.

- Have you thought about it?
- I have.

Go there and be back.

You only have three days.

If you don't come back after three days,

a suitor will come here
to discuss a marriage with you.

Mom, where did suitors come from?

That's final.

Okay.

Mom.

Mom, what's with you?

Three days,
or I'll be expecting some suitors here.

Enjoy your trip now.

Hello.

Dear, if you here for a survey,
you chose the wrong day.

Just yesterday we signed
a petition for animal rights.

No, you misunderstood me.

I'm here to see Semih.

Is Semih here?

- Yes.
- She's here for Semih.

Semih is taking a bath right now.

Should we invite her in?

Come in, don't stay at the door.

- Okay.
- Come in.

I came here from another city,
that's why I got a suitcase with me.

Will it be alright if I leave it there?

- It's alright.
- Okay.

What a well-mannered woman.

A dainty one too.

Look, they don't bark at her.

They don't sense any hostility.

What's your name, dear?

It's Elya.

El-ya.

- What does it mean?
- It means a flower from same family

as azalea and camellia.

I've also read that
it means a flower from Heaven.

My late mother used to listen to
Mermaid Eftalya's songs.

- Do you remember?
- Right, right.

Don't stand there, why don't you sit down?

- Thank you.
- Azalea.

Her name is Azalea.

She just said it's Elya.

She said Azalea.

- Tea?
- No, thank you. Please don't bother.

I don't need anything.

How well-mannered.

Remember how Uncle Ünsal

skipped drying his hair

and had facial paralysis.

- Don't mention it.
- Yes.

Let me introduce us.

I'm Nermin.

My sister, Nesrin.

She's Semih's mother.

And this is our little sister, Nevin.

How do you and Semih know each other?

From school.

We're old friends. Really old.

Are you perhaps Münevver's granddaughter?

Her granddaughter Azalea?

No offense, but you were so ugly before.

You've grown into a beautiful woman.

I'm Elya, not Azalea.

And my mother isn't Münevver, it's Saadet.

It's alright.

Dear, look. We have a guest.

My dear!

- He passed out.
- My son is dead!

He's dead!

- He's dead, he hit his head!
- He's not.

He's having a brain hemorrhage!

- Go bring the cologne!
- He didn't hit anything.

- My dear.
- He didn't hit his head.

Calm down, mind your blood pressure.

He didn't hit his head, he's alright.

My dear, please wake up.

Hurry!

I asked cologne for him, not for myself.

Pour some on his hands and feet.

- Wake up.
- It's because he's always on the phone.

- Pour some on him.
- Give it to me.

I always warn him.

You should sniff it too.

- Don't pass out like him.
- I'll sniff it.

Are you okay?

Sniff the cologne,
your blood pressure may go up.

I'll be back in a minute. You continue.

Don't run, dear.

You just woke up, don't run.

Semih.

Semih, I need your help.

Are they having a gathering again?

Semih, I did something really bad
and I can't come clean now.

Alper, my mother kept warning you.

She warned you about the people online.

There are many dishonest people.

You're too easy to trick,
it was just a matter of time.

Okay, calm down.

You must've gotten into trouble, tell me.

It's not that. Since my mother
keeps talking my ears off...

Since she doesn't know you.

Anyway,

- I want to open a dating site.
- Yes.

- I'm doing research and stuff.
- Right.

For research purposes,
I created some profiles on those sites.

Okay, I understand.

I met someone on a site.

Well done. And?

Right, the thing is

we kept talking and hit it off.

Good job. What happened after?

She's here, downstairs.

What? She's downstairs?

With my mother and aunts?

Go check on her, she might've run away.

Why did you leave her alone with them?

Go to her, stop talking to me.

You're right.

You're right about absolutely everything.

- I agree with you one hundred percent.
- Then go to her.

- Really, I do.
- Go now.

I will, I won't stay here.
But there's something I must tell you.

Can I?

Okay, go on then go to her side.

- It's just something trivial.
- Okay, got it.

I created that profile with your photo.

It just happened.

What should we do?

It's terrible.

Pardon me?

She's asking for Semih,

which is you.

She didn't realize it's me.

She's asking for you, downstairs.

What should we do?

Alper, you did the same before.

- We dealt with it before anyone realized.
- We did.

Now you're doing it again.

You maniac.

Do you want me to kill you this much?

What do you want from my photos?

Hang them on every corner you can find.
Just get over with it.

Don't yell.

Calm down, don't yell.

I tried to use my photos.

No one replied to me, no one cared.

Why would I try to date someone online?

Why would I try to date someone online?

Because you do.

That's what you did.

But it's not my thing.
It's something only you would do.

Okay, my dear cousin.

My brother, please help me.

Please save me, play along for now.

Just for one day. Please, I beg you.

What do you expect me to do?

Do you want me to act like you?

Just what do you expect from me?

I'm trying so hard
to maintain my self-control.

Look, I've a great idea.

You'll go downstairs and tell the truth.

Tell her that you're not Semih,

that you used someone else's photo.

That you used his photos
but you're the one talking to her.

Tell her everything you did.

Be honest, let her yell at you and leave.

I can't,
I panicked and passed out just now.

There was a disaster, it was so chaotic.

Both in me and downstairs.

I can't confess like this.
Please, play along.

Just for one day.

Act like you're the one she's looking for.

Please, I beg you.

She's a sweetheart,
she looks like a pure-hearted one.

Just see her once.

You can never know,
life's full of surprises.

- Listen.
- Sure.

I've had it up to here
with your stupidity.

- Are you with me?
- Get your hands off.

Why are you not like the other cousins?

We can do it. Help me out.

She's so beautiful, so pretty.
She's a heart of gold.

For real. Let's go.

Just see her once.

God give me patience.

You're helping me big time.

- Why are you my cousin?
- Come on.

Other people have decent cousins,
why am I stuck with you?

Gosh.

Gosh, are you happy with what you've done?

What's going on?

Alper, does it even make sense?
You're the one who talked to her.

I don't know anything at all.
What should I say to her?

We'll handle it.

I'll help you out.

Don't act like this,
your mother may have a panic attack.

They'll never let this go.

They will, Alper, they will.

Aunt Nevin didn't make
the soup grandma wanted before she died

and they didn't let that one go.

Think about how they'll react to this.

Please, Semih.

Okay, but this is for the last time.

Okay, I promise.

I won't clean up after you again.

- Promise me.
- I promise, this is the last time.

Thank you.

Look what you've done. Shameless.

Don't worry, it'll be okay.

- Let's tell the truth.
- Keep your eyes on me.

- I changed my mind.
- You can't.

We'll twist the truth.
It'll be the new truth.

- Is it okay?
- It is.

It just went down a little.

She said it went down a little.

She's eating too much salt.

Let me see.

- Why must I talk to her?
- Talk to her as if you're me.

But I'm not you.

It's a little low.

Hello. Welcome.

Hello.

Your photos
didn't do justice to your beauty.

Look at him.

She came here from Izmir,

but all he does is greeting her.

Mom, I'm just shocked to suddenly see her.

I didn't expect to see her here.

I'm just shocked.

It's rude.

Why would it be rude?

Why?

After what we talked about yesterday,

I thought we don't need to wait any longer

since we're both ready.

Ready for what?

To meet in person.

For that? We're ready, yes.

We are.

Why did you pass out when you saw her?

He's never seen
someone as beautiful as her.

What are you saying? I just got dizzy.

He turned yellow
from looking at screens too long.

So true.

He doesn't have breakfast.

I told you,
a healthy breakfast is important.

In the end, you'll have problems
with your blood pressure like us.

Then we'll have to deal with you.

I don't have blood pressure problems.

You're still young, that's why.

It took me by surprise too.

You said you're living with your mother.

Turns out you've three sweet aunts.

We're a large family, we live together.

I feel like I've three mothers.

After your grandmother...

After what?

You told me about it.

Right, seems like
I can't keep anything private.

Hello.

- Are you okay now?
- Hello.

Thank you, I'm great now.

Something weird happened at that moment.

Suddenly, everything was spinning.

It got really bad all of a sudden.

But I'm great now. So great.

- Are you sure you're okay?
- Absolutely.

Do we know each other from somewhere?

We? From somewhere?

What are you saying?

- I don't think we do.
- It's not possible.

There's no way we do.

This is my first time seeing you.

Of course, as expected.

Okay then, I'll get us some tea.

Would you like some?
Never mind, you shouldn't drink tea.

It affects your blood pressure.

I thought your mother's name was Nevin.

You told me so.

No, but people get confused
about it all the time.

-We're-
-We don't mind it all.

In our family, we don't separate
our aunts from our mothers.

I, personally,
call all three of them 'Mom'.

I'll help with the teas.

I'll make you pay for this.

- Calm down.
- Why should I?

- Calm down.
- She's in the kitchen.

Isn't she pretty?

She's pretty,
but she's here for you, not me.

- My dear.
- She may be pretty,

but she's here for you.

- No, that's not what happened.
- You maniac.

I talked to her as you.
She's interested in you.

Please, play along for one day.

Just one day.

Sugar?

Gosh, I've that problem too.

I was asking for tea.

Add four cubes. Don't tell the others.

I really have diabetes.

- Are you sure?
- About how sweet I am?

You're funny.

I really am.

Maybe more funny than sweet.

- Don't let anyone know.
- Okay.

I'll go to my cousin's house soon.

- My, you should stay here.
- I'm sorry.

- It's my cousin.
- Tell her you can't go to her house.

- I'll talk to her and be back.
- But you won't stay at her house, okay?

Deal?

My, my.

Woman of love.

How's my brave princess doing?

Have you found your soul mate?

Are you having a great time?

- I can't call it great.
- How so?

Tell me everything, I'm curious.

Semih turned out to be a little timid.

Maybe he got shy because of his aunts.

Hold on. You met with his family already?

Oh, my dear.

You probably got along with them too.

I did, that's not what bothers me.

You used to say
you don't want a family or marriage.

They're all forgotten now.

My girl takes what she wants.

The thing is, I get along with his aunts,
I don't have any problem with them.

But I don't get Semih.

What do you mean?

I don't know.
He gave me some compliments, sure.

But we've known each other for a while.
We talked about many things.

He could act more sincere.

He was so cold, I don't get it.

Perhaps, he didn't like me in person.

Don't be ridiculous now.

You visited him without a notice.

He must be surprised.
You're lucky he didn't pass out.

If you say so.

Elya. Are you okay, dear?

I hope you didn't catch cold.

I'd put a fresh hand towel in there.

I'm okay, I'm coming.

Dear, I'll call you back later.

I've to hang up now.

Okay, see you.

I prepared a fennel tea for you.

You didn't have to. Thank you so much.

Our bathroom floor is a little cold.
You may catch cold.

You may not be able
to conceive a baby then.

Won't you get up?

I want to see how tall you are.

- Is that for me?
- Yes.

Okay, sure.

Let's see.

It looks good on her, no?

Looks amazing.

I started this
with no one particular in mind.

Last person to knit me something
was my grandma.

Thank you so much.

Seems like you were expecting
a daughter-in-law.

- Hope it ends well.
- Hope we find one too.

Where are you going?

I'll go check on the horses.

After Alper's father's death,
we got a phone one day.

He was always a man good for nothing,
even when he's alive.

He left some livestock behind.

We thought they're cows or bullocks.

How nice.

How can it be nice?

I'd rather he was still alive
but living far away from me.

Anyway, he was kind of okay.

You buried hm once more, Nermin.

Gosh!

You two should walk around together.

I would take her with me,
but she has a long skirt.

Her skirt will get dirty.

What's wrong with her skirt?

Dear, you've your suitcase here.

There must be a suitable outfit.
Just go and change.

We wear the same size.
Do you want to wear my tights?

Please don't bother, thank you.

I'll change my clothes.

My tights may not be her size.

Okay, I'll be waiting outside.

Okay.

Look at her.

It's so peaceful here.

It is.

The workshop is also close here, right?

It takes five or ten minutes by car.

That's great.

Do you remember
everything we've talked about?

I try my best to remember them.

But your memory is better than mine.

- No way.
- It's true.

Sometimes I wonder if you take notes.

Right.

What's it?

They postponed my interview by one day.

Interview for what?

My job interview in Istanbul,
I told you about it.

Your job interview, right.

My brain is still too shocked to function.
Let's pet the horses.

Linda here is
one of our most well-behaved girls.

She's so cute.

- Can I pet her?
- Of course.

How beautiful!

Come.

I used to spend
a lot of time here with my father.

Really?

He always told me, to know someone,
I should bring them to horses.

Why's that?

He would say a man's judgement is clouded.

People confuse their emotions
with their thoughts.

Sometimes they believe someone too much,

or their prejudice takes over.

But horses?

They only go by instincts.

They don't act on their thoughts.

If they are calm and content
around someone,

that means they trust that person.
He carries no ill intentions.

Would you like to try riding her?

She wants you to.

Why not?

I cooked these stuffed green peppers.

You should try some and get Vitamin C.

Thank you, they look delicious.

- Semih?
- I'm good, thank you.

She's trying to treat to you.
It's rude to reject.

Mom, I don't eat it.
I don't like stuffed green peppers.

You do.

Since when I like them?

I never eat it.

Remember,

you hated it as a child,
but one day you took a liking to it.

You eat it every day.

You're so...

Since when?

You said your aunt makes
the best stuffed green peppers.

He's a weird habit.

He likes
eating his favorite dish the last.

Such a weird habit, really.

But for once, he'll eat it first.

Come on. You will, right?

Sure, I'll eat it.

Then, please give me one of them.

I'll eat it, give me one.

Because my aunt makes
the best stuffed green peppers.

I can also show Mom how much I love them.

Looks delicious.

Can you pass me the bulgur salad?

It's delicious.

It's also prepared by me.

It tastes so good.

Delicious.

Delicious, aunt. It's delicious.

It's only a stuffed green pepper.

It's disgusting.

It's delicious, no?

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Who's it?

It's us.

Come in.

Hello.

We wanted to bring water

to our daughter-in-law.

I wanted to.

Thank you, you didn't have to.

It's tastes like soap, how nice.

Thank you.

Your hair is so soft.

May I?

Silky smooth.

Do you use almond oil?

Yes. How did you know?

Sis.

Her heels look as smooth as a baby's butt.

Did your feet touch ground
when you were little?

My, my. Would you look at that?

Look how silky her skin is.

How nice, how great.

And her elbows?

Look at them.

So white and clean.

Leave my daughter-in-law alone.

Gosh.

Oh my.

Your shoulder blades are soft too.

You probably won't have hernia either.

I know it because I'd it after pregnancy.

- That's right.
- Elya,

do you have a lovely, single friend?

Why's that?

What? My son is single.

You raised him like a race horse,

you made him disconnect
with the world around,

and now you want to marry him off.
It won't do.

Right, and you keep praising him.

"My son entered the school in first place,
graduated in first place."

"Entered and graduated in first place."

Look what Semih did?

He found
the best daughter-in-law possible.

- You're right.
- Totally.

What are you doing here?

- We're wishing her good night.
- Right.

I see, please leave her alone now.

Let her sleep.

What's that in your hand? It's beautiful.

This one? I used to craft thing with wood,

but more skilled craftsmen
took my place in time.

He crafted it himself.

It's pretty.

You can have it.

- Really?
- Yes.

You can put it on your desk
in your new office.

Good night. Let her sleep.

- Good night.
- Good night, dear.

No.

- What happened?
- We forgot the key.

We almost did.

A key? For what?

They say that if you're staying
at a house for the first time

and put that house's key
under your pillow,

in your dreams, you'll see
the person you're going to marry.

Here, take it.

I'll put it.

Let's see if it'll be Semih.

It will.

- I hope so.
- How romantic.

Good night.

- Good night. Thank you.
- Have a nice sleep.

You too.

Sweet dreams.

Let's go.

You couldn't sleep either, no?

I don't know.

I guess there's too much oxygen here.

What about you?

I'm wandering around, lost in thought.

Life is so strange.

We were strangers just yesterday.

But today...

We weren't quite strangers.

I don't know,

someone I didn't even know
that was out there

comes out of nowhere.

And she looks at me prettily.

With her beautiful smile.

She smiles so beautiful

that I wonder where she has been.

May she's always been here.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Good night.

I'm coming.

I'll open it.

Sorry, I thought it's your aunts.

No, it's me. Can I come in?

Sure.

Let me close the door
so we don't wake the others.

Did they bring you the key?

They did.

It's a tradition for them.
They do it for every guest.

I hope they didn't bother you much.

No, not at all. They're lovely.

They clung to each other
after grandma's death.

Well, our family was always crazy.

Being crazy has its upsides.

I really took a liking to them.

They have a great energy.

It reminds me
the old Turkish cinema's naiveté.

They're so sweet.

- Just like "Neşeli Günler."
- Exactly.

It's my favorite movie.

Yes, I know.

You probably do. Everyone does.

Everyone watches such movies.

Elya,

- I've to tell you something.
- Okay.

Perhaps,
I also need to tell you something.

- Is that so? Let's get some fresh air.
- Sure.

What did you want to tell me?

Now,

I hope you know that it's illegal
to go through your cousin's phone.

Why does everyone think I'm a hacker?
I'm a software developer.

How else would you know my favorite movie?

You read our messages.

Elya, I need to tell you something.

But promise me to stay calm first.

Okay.

I'm not good at talking to women.

I get nervous.

I don't have much experience either.

But Mom keeps pestering me about marriage.

They can't do the same to Semih,
he'll lash out if they do.

I've a pressure on me all the time.

But how can I find someone?

As if everyone is waiting in line.

If I find someone, will we even get along?

I can understand.

After a certain age,
mothers tend to pester their children

about marriage.
I can relate to your situation.

You can relate, right.

So, I decided to build a dating site.

And to do some research,

I created profile on some of these sites.

Let's be honest here.

Who didn't, am I right?

We all did, we all do.

- We all did.
- Of course.

Yes, you're right.

But there's a problem with my accounts.

I created them using Semih's photos.

That's what it is.

What have I done?

Damn it, what have I done?

I'm so ashamed.

- It's so shameful.
- But you promised to stay calm.

Your face fell in no time.
You broke your promise right away.

Does that suit you?

I'll kill you.

- I'll kill you. How dare you?
- Don't yell.

- How can you?
- Don't yell, you'll wake the others up.

- Let's get inside.
- How did you?

- How can you do that?
- Stop it.

You humiliated me.

Calm down now.

I will die either at your hand,
Semih's or my mother's.

Please be quiet.
They will really kill me.

I'll do that if they don't.

It looks like that.

But how could I know
that you'll come here?

Because Semih told me to-

It wasn't Semih, it was you.

Of course, you told me that. Not Semih.

You're disgusting.

You're such a perverted man.

You really are disgusting.
You're a pervert.

You both are disgusting.

Let's not call each other names.

I may look like
that kind of a person right now.

But Semih is just an ordinary man.

And I feel like
this will have a good outcome.

A good outcome?

I can't see
anything good about this situation.

What good can come from it?

That's great.

Was everything a game?

-I'm so-
-It was a game.

You played with me.

- I'll tell everything to your mom.
- No.

Please, don't. They'll be devastated.
They'll kill me or do something worse.

It'll be the end of me.
Please play along for one day.

I made a mistake, I aware.

And I'm really sorry about that.

Semih may be a little cold

but he's a good person at heart.

And you look like a kindhearted person.

You mean I'm a gullible person.

No way. You listened
to your heart and came here.

This takes courage.

Just for one day.

I'll really strangle you to death.

I don't know what to do.

I can't go back to Izmir.

Why's that?

I have a job interview in two days,

as you know.

And Mom is waiting at home with a suitor.

You're dealing
with the same struggle as mine.

I didn't know, you never told me that.

My, I'm so sorry.

I should've told you that,
how dare I deceive you?

My mistake, I won't say anything else.

Okay, I accept.

Thank God.

I won't say anything to the others.

- Okay.
- Got it?

- But I've a condition.
- Anything you want.

I don't have a place to stay in Istanbul.

I'll have to stay here for two more days.

You're absolutely welcome here.

Okay.

Thank you.

Let me ask you something.

Is Semih aware of this?

He is, I told him. He accepted to help.

Don't say anything to Semih either.

We don't have to be that cruel to him.
He's not the one-

Okay, as you wish.

- Go away now.
- Right away.

Keep that cinematic naiveté in mind.

Don't forget the "Neşeli Günler",
the old Turkish cinema.

Remember the serenity, naiveté, nostalgia,

those three women, Adile Naşit.

She's not breathing.

Okay, I feel a little breath.

- It's alright, she's breathing.
- Thank God.

Did we wake you up?

We thought you were dead, you worried us.

Get up slowly.

Or else your blood pressure will go down,
you'll feel dizzy.

Good morning.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

If you wonder why we're all here,

it's noon,
and you showed no sign of waking up.

We thought something bad happened to you.

In my sleep?

My mother passed away

during her sleep.

When we entered her room,

she wasn't moving at all.

She was lying still.

Enough. I kept checking your breath
with my finger as you slept.

You're so cute.

I usually sleep like the dead.

Did you have a dream?

She did.

- Did she see Semih?
- I don't know.

Was it Semih?

You won't believe what happened.

Your mother really
invited Perihan over for tomorrow.

What's the rush?

Never mind her.

Talk to me about your love, your romance.

It's too complicated now.

There's an urgent matter at hand.

Have you heard from your cousin?

I might need to stay at her
until the job interview.

Why though?

He's three aunts living with him,
it'll be rude to stay here for three days.

Dear, my cousin didn't get back to me.

She probably thinks I'll ask for money.

This proves how unnecessary it is
to keep in touch with your relatives.

Since you're already there,
hang out with your lover.

You'll miss him later.

Looks like it's time to say goodbye

to my Istanbul dreams.

One, two, three, four.

And down.

Bombastic. Fantastic.

Elastic.

We did good by finding this instructor.
She has a good energy.

- You're right.
- Good morning.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning, dear.

- Good luck with that.
- Good morning.

Were you the one
wandering in the garden last night?

It was me. I wanted some fresh air.

You should be more careful.
What if there was a wild boar?

We should have breakfast, girls.
Let's go inside.

How about we take a walk?

- How about it?
- Let's go.

- I can help you in the kitchen.
- Sure, come help us.

My dear son.

Are you okay, girls?

- We are.
- It was refreshing.

I feel refreshed.

I'm trying to hide this.

Sis, it's 2021,

but you still put sugar in your tea.

Elya,

does anyone from your family
have diabetes?

As far as I know, no. Why are you asking?

That's great.
We have many diabetics in our family.

And my father passed away
because of a lung disease.

Don't lie, that's not the reason.

He passed away because of stress.

He bottled up his every problem.

What a nice conversation to have
early in the morning.

Alper, don't go out today.

Why?

There's a sand storm coming.
I heard it on the news.

Are you sure it's not African news?

Why would there be a sand storm?

Don't say I didn't warn you.
They expect a temperature increase too.

Elya, you shouldn't go anywhere either.

I thought I'd go to my cousin today.

No way, haven't you heard Nevin?

I could talk to your family
so they wouldn't get worried.

You don't have to, I'll talk to them.
I'll explain the situation them.

My cousins are really kind people,
they probably missed me too.

It's too much.

Are you trying to kill him?

Open wide.

- What's that?
- Semih can't eat it.

Why?

His stomach can't handle it.

You.

Did you tell her this?

He told me he loves eating
tomato with paprika at breakfast.

Open wide.

Oh no.

You should start preparing a fennel tea.

Will you be able to stomach it?

His face is all red.

- What are you doing?
- What's it now?

- You didn't eat its seed.
- Yes, I didn't. What about it?

You said you always eat olives
with their seed.

Did I, how?

You said all its vitamins are in its seed.

It sounded ridiculous first,
but then it made sense.

That's right, don't you remember the time
we challenged each other about it?

It was quite funny.

You'll get a stomachache, dear.

I'll be damned if I know.

Should we read book after breakfast?

No, I've something to do.

- Do it later.
- She's right.

Just do it later.

Gosh.

I bought you one of my favorites
from the literary classics.

Something you haven't read.

I'm sure he hasn't read it.

Dear, maybe there's
a miscommunication between you.

I'll be damned if I know.

No way, Semih reads a lot.

But he does it in secret,

you could never know how many he read.

But maybe he has
important business to do.

We should not bother him now.

What important business he can have?
She came here from Izmir,

she would get bored
if she hangs out with us all day.

Why?

We know how to entertain a guest too.

Of course.

Want one more tomato?

No, I'm full. You can eat it.

The air here is so nice.

Not like Istanbul's.

How's the book?

It's good.

I need to digest what I read.

Feeling better?

Much better.

Look at them sitting together.

What a smart woman.

Meant for my son.
Lively and strong-minded.

She managed to put a book
in your son's hands.

Unbelievable.

If they had met before,

Semih would become a professor.

Remember how Semih and Alper

almost had an intestinal knot
when they were little.

How could I forget it?

They challenged each other
to eat olives with their seed.

Alper still eats its seed, though.

Are you faking it
to get away from reading?

I don't usually eat tomato skin.

And I'm allergic to paprika.

Semih.

It's raining last night,
you'll catch cold.

They'll get diarrhea.

Look, he's running inside
with his hand on his belly.

Nesrin, go make fennel tea.

Dear, are you okay?

He's like a five years old.

You spoiled him too much.

There's not many fish on the surface.

I don't have to see them.

That's where they live.

They live here, right.

But it'll melt before they eat it.

"Last Birds."

I didn't get it.

In one of its stories,

a fisherman catches a small fish,

he kisses it and gives it back to the sea.

His companions asks him why,

he replies, "there's now a fish
in this sea, kissed by me."

This part of the story moves me the most.

The fisherman submits to the reality
and gives up.

It's beautiful.

I've told you this story before, Semih.

Looks like you forgot it.

- It's her.
- Come.

- Elya!
- Come.

Why don't you join us?

- Come join us.
- It's great.

No, thank you. I better not.

If you plan to spend all day outside,

keep your hair wet.
It's too hot today.

Use sunscreen SPF 50,
or else you'll get blemishes.

Okay, I'll make sure to use that.

Have fun.

Thank you.

Silly boy.

- He's so cute.
- Look at him.

Look at him.

My dears,

I think she fell in love.

She did.

When should we have the wedding?

Have you decided?

I was thinking of a spring wedding.

Do they have to be this loud?

How shameless.

I'm sure he'll catch her.

Can't you crack the seeds quieter?

- No.
- No.

I'm quite surprised.

When I saw her in this white dress,

I remembered the days
when I first fell in love with her.

Are you okay?

I'm okay. Why?

- Why don't you follow her?
- Why would I?

She might need help in the kitchen.

She can handle it herself.

Just go, blockhead. Just go.

Gosh.

Hold on.

My, where's this smell coming from?

Elya made pastry.

- Did she?
- Really.

She did it by herself.

- Did you help her?
- No, we didn't.

Really? Be honest with me.

You didn't expect it, right?

- She really did.
- Oh my, oh my.

My dear.

Thank you for everything.

- Hope you like it.
- It's hot.

I'll eat you in one bite.

Looks delicious, my dear.

How great.

- It's amazing.
- Elya.

You made pastry for us.
Great thinking, really.

- Thank you.
- Can I have one too?

My, I'll have the one with potato.

- You made this all by yourself?
- Enjoy it.

It's delicious.

- Who's it?
- Who's here?

Hande?

Hande? I'm not home.

Hande?

Go hide.

Welcome to TK.
It's "I-missed-you-so-much" flight.

Please remain seated.

She's our...

- What do we tell her?
- I don't know.

What's your seat number?

Pardon me?

I meant, who are you?

- Who are you?
- She's Elya, Hande.

- Elya.
- Elya.

A weird name.

It's some kind of a flower like azalea.

Just play along with it, okay?

Don't be taken aback by her.

- Who's she?
- I'll tell you everything later.

Hande, I thought
you're no longer a flight attendant.

- My dear Semih.
- Yes?

After you broke up with me
and pushed me down the cliff,

I couldn't get over my fear of heights.

What cliff?

She must be talking about our garden.
She's joking.

They offered me paid time off
and a position as a ground hostess.

I'll be here until I get back to work.

- Don't you say.
- Oh my.

Alper. Alper.

I'll explain it all.

She said she'll be here
until she gets back to work.

There's a misunderstanding.

A huge one. I'll tell you everything.

Your pastry was amazing, by the way.

A long time ago,

A really, really long time ago,

Hande fell in love with Semih
when she's a child.

We don't know why,

but she thinks they are lovers.

She's been with us since her childhood,
we can't dare to hurt her feelings.

So sometimes she loses it.

Loses it?

Completely loses it.

She's crazy.

One in a year, she visits us.

Last time she visited us, though,
she stayed for two months.

Why don't we go back to our movie?
We left it at its most exciting part.

- That's right, let's get back to it.
- What's going on here?

I'll cancel your ticket.

She's just joking.

So?

Would you like a drink?

- Why not?
- We would.

I'll prepare the drinks then.

What's going on?

She'll finally leave her husband.

Right, this is the most exciting part.

He got what he deserved.

I think my brain is fried.

- What? Your brain is fried?
- What's going on?

- Hold on. Where's fried?
- I'm okay.

There's nothing fried. I'm totally fine.

I really am.

You're scaring her. What are you doing?

- I don't know.
- Don't act hastily.

- She said her brain is fried.
- Sit back down.

Alper, why are we watching this movie?

What? Why are we watching it?

Because it's your favorite movie, Semih.

It's a good movie.

- My favorite?
- That's right.

Here.

Thank you, Hande.

- Please enjoy it.
- Thank you.

Thank you, dear.

Thanks, dear.

Take one when she offers you.

Hande, thank you.
It's a pleasure flying with you.

Enjoy them.

But,

please be careful
while walking on the aisle.

Please turn on the airplane mode.

It's great.

Elya?

- Yes?
- Can we talk?

How did you unfasten your seat belt?

Come in, make yourself at home.

Are you okay? What happened?

I'm okay. How about you?

How about me?

There's nothing.

What happened? I don't get it.

How could you not get it?

Yesterday happened, right?
Everything was great yesterday.

But you've been acting strange
since this morning.

Won't you tell me the reason?

Yesterday didn't happen.

Nothing happened yesterday. Okay?

What do you mean by that?

What I said.

Are women all the same?

Unbelievable.

- They're all the same.
- Are men all the same?

Are you playing with everyone?

You live by your delusions
as if they're the truth,

then you continue your life
as if nothing happened.

- Is this who you are?
- Is it about Hande?

Great, really.

Bravo.

You make a fool of people,

then sit in front of me
and shamelessly talk about yesterday.

Just continue your game.

Since everything is a game.

A game?

Good morning.

Good morning.

They're not with me.

Good morning.

And welcome.

I should take my place.

You scared me.

Have we landed?

- Get up.
- What's happening?

We landed.

- What's going on.
- We landed.

Finally.

Welcome.

Thank you, dear.

Thank you.

Gosh, really.

Come here.

Would you look at them.

Look at him, he's not afraid of her.

I love this girl,
our little boys love her too.

- They didn't bark at her at all.
- Really.

They're so cute.

Good morning.

- Have a safe flight.
- Sit down.

Semih.

What have you done, dear?

- What have you done?
- What have I done?

We would never expect this from you.

- Never.
- Would never.

- We would never expect this.
- Never.

What have I done?

Baby, you didn't check-in.

Alper, come with me.

- Can't I sit? I fastened my belt.
- Just come.

For check-in.

How about we drink coffee?

Good idea. It'll be refreshing.

- I can do it.
- What check-in?

You must be tired, I'll do it.

Okay.

How'd you like your coffee?

- Without sugar.
- Without sugar.

Without sugar.

Nermin drinks her coffee with sugar,
but make her one without it.

Okay.

I don't drink when I'm on duty.

How can I check-in here?

She wants to feel like a flight attendant.

Can I have a coffee too? Without sugar.

You like your coffee with sugar.
I'll make it so.

- No, make it without sugar.
- You prefer coffee without sugar.

- Do whatever you want.
- She's being weird, I know.

I hope he'll get to drink
a coffee with salt too.

Hold on, dear. I can get the cups for you.

I handled it, don't worry.

- Coffee is here, right?
- It is but wait.

Don't use that one.

Use this instead. It's freshly ground.

It smells amazing.

Before these machines were a thing,

I used to brew the best coffee around.

Would you like to brew it?

No, please, you do it.
We want to drink your coffee.

Okay then.

Stove top coffee
still tastes different.

We're just using machines to save time.

Otherwise, everything you do tastes great.

What if there's no foam in your coffee?

Then I'll make more.

Okay.

That night, Mom

wanted to have lentil soup.

But there was no lentil at home,

and it would make her stomach upset.

So I didn't cook it.

She died in her sleep that night.

Don't feel bad.

You'd done everything you could.

You dedicated yourself to your mother.

This is more important
than everything else.

My dear.

We always thought that

we'll eventually be dead and buried
in this house, all alone.

We got used to this life.

The things people get used to...

Our Semih

retired into his shell
after finishing his military service.

Ans as you can see,
Alper is always on the computer.

We swallowed the truth,
no grandchild for us.

But now, you and Semih

are giving us hope.

I don't think
Semih really is an introvert.

"Semih, revert into your old self,
my late mother would say.

He had a girlfriend from Izmir,
but I'm not comparing you two.

She cheated on Semih with his best friend.

Semih broke off their engagement
and went to do his military service.

His father asked him
to wait for a little more,

but Semih didn't listen.

Semih went to do his service,
and his father was... Bam.

- Bam?
- Heart attack, then he's gone.

Anyway, dear. Is it done?

Yes, they'll be delicious.

Come here.

What's it? Stop being a blockhead.

What are you doing, grabbing me suddenly?

Your mother doesn't check
her blood pressure these days.

- Have you noticed?
- Why?

Thanks to you two.

Wait here.

Let's eat sweet, talk sweet. Go now.

They are ready to drink.

Thank you so much.

They smell delicious.

They smell delicious, dear.

- Thank you.
- My.

Here, take one.

Let her pass first. Can I have my coffee?

- Thank you.
- Which one is mine?

The first one's yours. Take that one.

The first one's mine.
I'll take that one, thank you.

Thank you, dear.

They're calling.

- Gosh.
- They're calling!

Don't run,
you'll trip on the carpet and fall.

There's no carpet there.

Maybe she'll trip on her own foot. Gosh.

My coffee and Alper's got mixed.

- Why would they be?
- They are, look.

I can't drink it.

You should've thought of that
before causing this mess.

He loves coffee without sugar.

- Mom.
- There's no mom.

There's Semih. Come here now.

He loves it.

- Don't do it. Don't yell.
- How did it end up like this?

Elya on one side,

- our aunts on the other.
- Don't yell. Mom.

Don't, please don't.

They're calling.
They're calling me from work.

- Really?
- Emergency exit protocol.

- We're so happy to hear that.
- Bravo.

- How nice.
- At last.

That's great, that's wonderful.

Semih.

I'm leaving. You'll miss me, won't you?

You'll miss me when I'm not around.

You should.

Miss me more. Because that's what I'll do.

I hope you'll miss me too.

- We will.
- Goodbye.

- We'll miss you a lot.
- Bye, dear.

Bye!

By the way, take a good care of this girl.

I like her.

Hurray.

Hurray.

That's wonderful.

We can now drink our coffee in peace.

Thank God.

Your mom asked me to give this to you.

Thank you.

We can roast delicious chestnuts here.

I used to do it a lot when I was a kid.

Well, I just thought of
having a really tasty sujuk sandwich.

Do you like sujuk sandwiches?

Do I like it? I love it.

But first you've to toast the bread well.

That's the trick.

Gosh.

- What are you laughing at?
- Come sit down, I'll tell you.

Come here.

Okay.

One day I was lighting a fire here again
with my then-girlfriend.

She saw the fire and asked,
"So, when are we roasting marshmallows?"

I said, "Didn't you grew up
in a stove-heated house?

Did you grow up eating marshmallows?

Is it something I don't know about you?"
Then she broke up with me.

- You must be joking.
- No, I'm totally serious.

Okay, I admit,
I may have been a little hard on her.

But if we're arguing about this,
that means we're not compatible.

Yes, that's right.

I think you did well.
She deserved more, to be honest.

Everyone thinks they're a princess.

Everyone is trying
to portray themselves differently.

It's all lies and deceit.

Maybe they don't know herself yet.

How can I know someone
who doesn't know themselves?

How can I know them
if they don't know themselves?

They're trying to take the easy way out.

One must be transparent to me.
Not just to me, but to life.

I get nervous when they're not.

Tricky stuff makes me tense.

Anyway, let's light the fire.

I cook whatever I want here.

We'll toast the inside of the bread first.

How do you like your sujuk?

What do they like about sitting outside?

Get some air and come back inside.

It's full of insects out there.

Should we give them a bug spray,
fly repellent or something?

Don't bother them. Do they always
have to talk in front of us?

Why not?

Gosh, seriously.

What are they whispering about?

I hope it's about
when they will get married.

I hope so.

- Is the fire on?
- What's all this?

What else am I to do?
The youth today is wild.

Their blood flows like wildfire.
They're too young to play with fire.

- They might burn the house down.
- Don't be ridiculous.

You overdid it a bit.

You say so?

- I see.
- Go find something else.

But it only takes a spark.

A little wind is enough.

You're right.

That's how Aunt Halide's house
burned down.

Their wealth got exposed by that fire.

She hid money
in every corner of the house.

What happened this time?

That's better.

- It's right?
- It is.

The other one
would leave residue everywhere.

You're right, this is better.

Let's see what they'll do.

You can't laugh this much
at my best friend's pain.

But, don't you think it'd be better
if he sent the ring with flowers?

Really, it would be better.

Gosh.

I warned her,

but I don't want to tell her
I told you so.

I have to say,

that's a rough story, really.

I'm laughing right now,
but I would never wish it upon anyone.

Semih.

Despite everything,
it was a good three days.

I can't understand it.

Then I'll also say something.

It was a great three days.

I can see how it looks from there,

but it would be unfair
to call it all a game.

I'm sorry. I should've been
honest with you from the start.

But I couldn't know.
And why would I ever use dating sites?

I could never. I would never use them.

I didn't mean to offend you.

I was just talking for myself.

Think about it.

Sometimes, people spend years together,
but they fail to get to know each other.

You spend years together,
but don't know your partner.

The dating sites, meeting online,

these are not my thing.

I think your method is bolder.

Seriously, I can't understand,

how can someone
as beautiful and intelligent as you

not meet someone in her daily life.

I've had my share of relationships.

Like all of us.

Right.

Once again, Saadet proved to be right.

Saadet?

I had hopes and dreams
of finding my soul mate.

Saadet's the one who broke all my hopes.
She's my mother.

Behind every hopeless child
is a mother who does not believe in them.

Right.

Elya.

I'm really curious about one thing.

Is one photo enough?

Is one photo enough for you to meet,

talk to each other, or visit the other?

Is it really enough for these?

That's the thing.

I only listen to my heart.

Everything else is silenced.

I follow its desire.

No break,

no thinking.

I followed my feelings and came here.

I came here,

and realized that
I should put my trust in it.

I believed in it and came here.

- What do you think?
- It's amazing.

Elya.

Not everything was a game.

Not all of it, that'd be absurd.

Here.

What are you doing?

You can't sleep when there's a fire.

I wasn't sleeping.

- You scared me.
- Sure, sure.

You almost woke her up. Just leave.

- Don't stay out late, you'll catch cold.
- Got it, leave.

When I went,
they were lying there together.

- And?
- Her head is on his lap,

he's caressing her hair.

She's asleep. I got worried.

The fire was running high,
so I threw water at it.

There's smoke everywhere.

My dears.

- Congratulations.
- Yes.

Dear, aren't they cute?

So romantic.

Just like our time in youth.

It's delicious.

My dear.

Where to?

It's time for me to leave.

I don't count this as a proper visit.

Dear.

Tell you single friend about my son.

Okay.

My dear, my love.

- Here you are.
- I'll miss you.

I finished knitting the sweater.

It's amazing, thank you so much.

Wear it well.

It looks great.

Thank you for everything.

I'm really happy that I got to know you.

We are, too.

He got nervous.

He got nervous.

Alper.

I forgive you.

- But please delete that account.
- Okay.

- And don't do this to anyone else.
- Okay.

Semih is sleeping.

You can find him at his room.

Come on.

Go there, go on.

Okay, sure.

Partings are always hard.

We got used to her.

We really did.

My dear.

I feel a pang of sadness.

You don't need to wake up.

I'll go back to Izmir.

I'm here to say goodbye.

What do you mean by that?

What about your job?

The interview was today.

I cancelled it.

This is the end of my Istanbul journey.

Thank you for everything.

Take care. See you.

I'll miss you.

We will, too.

Hold on, hold on.

- I'm here.
- What happened?

Wait, let me put this on.
Let's leave together.

- What?
- What?

It's my turn. You met with my family.
Now it's my turn to meet yours.

- Are you serious?
- I am. Let's go.

Nice one, dear. Nice one.

How touching. Well done.

Let's leave. Open the door, Alper.

- Okay.
- Let's go.

My dear.

Go on.

One glass would be enough.

I want them to come back quick.

Good thinking.

Time to take the real photo. Come here.

Take a photo with us too.

Shouldn't we take one all-together?

You're right, we should. Smile.

Okay. You should smile.

Come on.

It looks great.

Okay, now.

What are you doing?

You made my clothes wet?

It'll refresh you.

I'll call you.

- Sure.
- Bye.

- See you.
- Bye bye.

Take care.

Wave your paw.

- See you.
- Bye bye.
