A HANDFUL OF SEA

It seems you've finally developed an interest in piano.

Mom, I can't believe you still keep this here.

It reminds me of how frustrating it was to show you how to play.

How was I to know that my son would turn out to be someone

who can't even whistle?

Mert, it's fantastic to have you here.

Your father...

It's Bora. His third call today.

Ok, fine, I've got everything. No, you don't need to.

My dad's going to give me a ride.

I could be there already if you didn't distract me with your incessant calls.

When you get back, your apartment will be ready for you.

Don't worry mom. I'll only be a short flight away.

If I miss you, I'll catch a flight.

Are you really sure about living in the penthouse?

Yes, Dad.

I'm fed up with being away.

I don't miss you that much but I do miss mom.

You've overtaken my studio!

The house is big enough for the three of us, don't worry.

Perhaps this will bring a new perspective to your paintings.

Don't make fun of perspective. If we don't have perspective, we have nothing.

The boys are packing up, right?

Yes, they've been waiting for me for hours.

Take it easy!

No!

I told you, didn't I? I said this guy doesn't bring bags.

Mert, is this all? What could you fit in that backpack for god's sake?

Man, is this the preparation that took three days?

What did you expect me to bring on the boat!

Careful, Aylin. Don't let them drink and sink the boat.

Don't worry Cengiz, I won't let go of the helm.

Have a nice journey guys...have fun!

Thanks Cengiz. Come on Mert, move! We've been waiting for you for ages.

Your folks don't leave you alone, do they?

It's me who doesn't leave them alone. And I won't leave you guys either.

-This holiday's gonna be beautiful. -Göcek's waiting for us!

C'mon my love.

Do you remember your first days of sailing?

-You took Semih and me to the island? -How could I possibly forget that?

We kissed the soil when we landed.

It was crazy.

I thought you'd never sail again.

I love gambling.

I know that.

If you're a die-hard gambler like me, you learn about losing.

"The man who puts a paperweight on his papers before opening a window".

That's what the school yearbook said about you.

I'd make a terrible gambler.

There are two rules for good gambling.

First, learn how to lose.

Second, never put irreplaceable things on the table.

What would you put on the table?

Only things that money can buy... What about you?

Anything...

C'mon, you're insane!

To my friend, the terrible gambler!

-Didn't this use to be Cengiz's studio? -It's Mert's home now.

I thought he'd move in a skyscraper after living in New York for so long.

Did you ask him why he wanted to move in with you?

Yes, yes. He said he wanted to be close to us.

Mert is calling.

Hello my dear.

Candan and I were just talking about you.

A good guy calls on the uttering of his name.

-Have you arrived in Göcek? -Almost there.

-Just wanted to say everything is ok. -Has Dilek joined you yet?

No, she's flying. We'll meet in Göcek.

I'll call again in the evening. Say hello to Cano.

Will do. Bye.

Typical of Dilek! She can't be bothered with the rigors of a sea voyage.

Don't exaggerate. She's busy and she doesn't like the open sea.

Busy? Yeah, sure!

The woman is a princess!

Land, guys! Back to work! We're about to dock!

Your princess is waiting for you on the shore, sir!

Welcome sailor! Will you take me as your lover in this harbor?

You can only be my harbor.

-You're too salty. -You're too sweet.

Oh please! Save that for the hotel. Hurry up! I'm exhausted.

We're coming...

The fate that waits for me

Let it be to anchor on your shore forever.

If I sail off to the seas without you,

Loneliness will be my only lover in my light less future.

So come to my arms!

Be the reward of this weary sailor,

Make him drunk with your presence...

Either I will be nailed down here with you,

or I will kidnap you just like Helen of Sparta.

We'll sail off into each other, chanting in unison:

Aganta burina burinata...

Who wrote that?

Me!

Mert, it's fantastic.

I didn't know you could write poetry.

I got the muse while missing you on the boat.

Still, let's not sail too far out.

I say, it's good to sail out a little.

From whom have you inherited the artistic gene?

I don't know.

When I was a teenager in the States...

I used to write poems and send them to mom.

To be honest, writing poetry is a great way to impress girls.

Even if it's only your mother.

Hey, you didn't send me your poem!

Because I wanted to give it to you myself.

Because I missed you so much.

I hope this is not one of your lines!

The poem was wonderful.

Please miss me a lot, ok?

I miss you, even now as we speak.

Everything was great. It was an awesome group. And I came all the way with them.

You shouldn't trust everyone. A girl has to be cautious. Right, Aylin?

With you, obviously!

-Hey! Good morning. -Morning!

Good morning.

Have you met Deniz? Mert, Deniz.. Deniz, Mert...

-No! Hi! -You are that Mert from the States.

That's him!

-Have we met before? -Yes... and no...

Bora loves talking about you.

And if I had attended your party last winter, we would have met.

That's the party where you met Dilek.

So, have you been caught in the net?

Deniz came all the way here from Croatia by boat hopping.

She will continue to Rhodes.

Why don't you guys come along to Rhodes, if you like.

-Shall we go? -Yeah, let's go!

Is Dilek up yet?

I am! Deniz! How did you get here?

I got caught in the fishing net.

She came by swimming from that boat.

They sent her bags afterwards. This girl is nuts, man!

Do you know each other?

Of course man! You are the only oblivious one here.

I am going to fetch our lunch.

And I'm going swimming.

It seems you take your camera with you everywhere.

It's my bread and butter. Shall we play backgammon?

Ok.

-Mert...Why did you return? -To Istanbul?

It's not like I've come back permanently. I'm half in London.

No, I meant why did you come back from New York?

I got a job offer.

Why don't others get offered jobs like that?

I'm successful I guess.

Let's see successful boy.

Is this your vacation routine? Hopping from one boat to another...

Yes.

Is it not difficult?

Not at all. I have rich friends who own boats.

Do you always make it to your chosen destination?

I don't have a chosen destination. I go with the wind.

Wouldn't it be easier if you had your own boat?

Perhaps, but what if I get bored?

You could sell it.

Buying... Selling... These are big boys' business.

He who wins at gambling, loses in love.

-Who won? -Mert.

Bottoms up! Cheers!

Do you really have to go, sweetie?

Would I go otherwise?

But she'll be back right after the meeting.

Mert, why is your name Mert (Brave)?

My father gave me this name. Maybe I really am brave.

Nietzsche says "What was silent in the father speaks in the son".

What does this mean?

Are you saying Mert's father can't be brave?

I can't say that but it's a possibility.

So why is your name Deniz (Sea)?

No particular reason.

But the philosophical depth of the name is dizzying.

Tell us.

Life is a sea. We're all parts of it.

Just like waves.

Whether we sink or float is beyond our willpower.

Our destinies are written by the winds that carry us.

Is this fatalism or what?

No, it's not. But fatalism is a great anti-depressant.

Only, fate doesn't exist. There is no route, no track, nothing.

Then what is there?

Nothing, really. There's nothing we can decide with our willpower.

It wasn't my decision to be born into my family,

or to be born in that place.

We're all droplets in an ocean.

Of course, we don't feel comfortable with this fact,

believing in the reverse is more fashionable.

We feel more powerful that way. We feel more in control.

I don't think we're droplets in an ocean but ships sailing towards a destination.

We all have routes.

Can we clear the plates now?

For example, I take this glass and drink up.

I wanted to and I did.

Yes, but the fact that you drank it does not determine you.

What if there was poison in the glass?

The same questions all the time!

Drinking poison would bloody determine you.

But no one would swallow poison just for the fun of it, would they?

You smarty!

Think of this: If it wasn't for the engineers who designed airplanes,

would you be able to fly in a metal box?

Life is similar.

We're told not to worry, everything is taken care of, designed, under control.

We're told just to live. And this relieves us.

We claim victories, thinking we personally won them.

But this is a great lie. In fact, we've done nothing to achieve them.

The point I've reached today is certainly my own making.

And which point is that?

In fact, there is no such point...

But what is all this "Matrix" talk hey?

I think Deniz is right.

-We all inherited our achievements. -OK, I got it.

We're capable of nothing, and Deniz of everything.

Thanks Deniz. You are great!

We are spending tonight discussing the meaning of your name.

Then, here is the last blow.

Are you all ready?

I'm a novel heroine! I'm a movie character!

Hey, show us a movie then!

You, the peeping tom in the boat over there, you'll never get laid by me.

You lonely Seagull, the day will come when you can't fly.

You, fat guy in the armchair!

You're no different from me!

I know you all. You're all in this game.

Come, dive into me.

Take me by the handfuls. Drink me!

All you want is a handful of Sea.

Are you ready to go all lengths? Are you ready?

-I am! -Like hell you are!

Calm down, girl.

You're only ready for a handful... None of you has the courage for all...

Deniz, did you study philosophy or drama?

Do you think I'm being dramatic?

She ruined the night again.

She's nowhere to be seen. Deniz!

Deniz... Deniz...

-Are there any rocks down there? -Don't worry, she'll be fine.

Every mortal will get to know Deniz one day.

-Deniz... -Hey! I'm coming, my love!

-No other option, right? -Come on buddy!

-The water is great! -Wonderful!

-Where are you going? -It's too hot.

I'm going on the deck.

What? Are you watching me?

I couldn't sleep.

-You won again! -Winning your heart is what matters.

Good morning guys!

At last! Do you have any idea what time it is?

Guys, we have some good news and some bad news.

-Bad first, please. -Mert is coming with me to Istanbul.

What! What's going on? I thought we would spend a month on the boat.

Now you're ditching us and it hasn't even been 15 days yet.

What's the good news?

We're getting married.

I don't believe it... This is great news!

How did you decide to tie the knot overnight?

I've thought about getting married ever since I met her.

What a discreet man! You didn't let a word slip.

I told you Deniz would bring good luck. Congratulations!

No, you didn't say anything like that.

Cengiz, come on. The kids will be here any minute now.

It's only been 10 minutes since they touched down.

What are you talking about? It's been half an hour. Get moving.

What do you want me to do Rana? Put on my tuxedo?

Isn't it interesting that they want to come here first?

Yes. Why are you so happy?

I don't know. They seem to have a surprise for us.

Rana, are you willing to give him away as soon as he comes?

No. But Dilek is a wonderful girl.

I know. Here they are.

Mom... Dad... I don't have any gifts for you other than this babe.

Be decent Mert.

Dilek is the real gift.

We weren't expecting you so soon. What's up?

We have a surprise.

We're getting married.

Congratulations! Let's celebrate! Come and help me.

I'm surprised.

Waking up to a proposal was surprising for me too.

Is everything alright?

Yes, dad.

Ok.

Thanks for asking.

So, when is the wedding?

We're in no hurry. We'll go with the flow...

Time to celebrate!

Cheers!

My dad sent a TV. It's a 3D.

Again? He sends something every day. What will we do with it?

I don't know. Let's keep it in your place for now.

We're there all the time anyway.

-Mert? -Yes?

I miss you so much.

Me too honey.

Dad says your CEO is a very close friend of his.

Yeah, everyone in Istanbul is a close friend of everyone else.

Provided their wallets are full.

I need to go now...

Hello?

What's going on man? You have tried to call a thousand times.

Yeah I did. I was worried.

Phone coverage is not the same everywhere, you know...

Are you missing us? Trying to call for 3 days?

Dilek and I may escape for the weekend.

I can't understand you man!

First we were supposed to hang out here for a month.

Then you decided to get married and took off to Istanbul.

Have you started work?

Yes, it's better this way. It would be boring here otherwise.

Mert, What happened to you all of a sudden?

I don't know if I should be happy or worried about you?

But if you have guests on the boat, don't let us disturb you.

Don't be silly. There's no one else we'd rather have.

I don't know. Maybe that girl's friends have shown up.

What girl?

The crazy one.

Oh, Deniz. She left just after you. Hopped on another boat.

Did she change her mind about going to Rhodes with you?

It wasn't she who changed the plan. It was us.

Ok.

I'll let you know about the weekend.

-Give Aylin a kiss for me. Bye. -Ok, buddy. Catch you later.

Nilay, I'll fly to Rhodes with my family for the weekend.

Could you please make hotel and flight arrangements for 4?

I don't know. He insisted we should go to Rhodes.

He said it was a surprise. Cengiz can't cope with the heat.

He's here with me. Yes, I will do.

Kids are going around.

I have another phone call, wait a second...

-Hello? -Hi!

-Dilek, is that you dear? -Yes it's me. Is Mert with you?

No, isn't he with you?

No, he's not. He said he'd left his wallet in the hotel room.

It's been 2 hours and he doesn't answer his phone. Hasn't he showed up yet?

-No, he's not here. -That's weird.

I'd better join you then.

Come, dear, we're at the café in front of the hotel.

Mert? What a coincidence?

Do you recognize me?

Of course I do.

What are you up to? Are you still in the U.S?

How about your mom and dad? Are they OK?

They're fine.

Look, is there any other Turkish boat here?

Don't mind the flags waving.

Half of these are Turkish boats.

What's the matter, are you looking for someone?

Oh no... I was just looking...

-I thought I saw someone from Istanbul. -Who?

You know the youngest daughter of the Demirci Family?

No...I don't know her. But you won't find any of them around here.

Ok, thanks.

Hey, look. If you see her, will you tell her to call me?

She's around 26-27. A beautiful girl.

See you.

He goes off on a vacation for a month, then returns a week later.

He brings this girl to a flat where the paint on the wall is still wet.

He starts a new job in a hurry and now he brings us here

in the middle of this heat and disappears!

I was talking to Candan just a moment ago. She said it must be love.

Yeah, she knows about that sort of thing, doesn't she?

What the hell am I doing? I must be nuts!

Mert, what's going on? Where have you been?

Why did you turn off your phone? It's been hours!

I love you very much.

Mert, what happened?

Good morning.

Deniz? Were you on the same plane?

I was in the seat behind but you didn't even see me.

How are you? What are you up to?

I sell soap.

-I slept the whole way, didn't I? -You did.

Why didn't you wake me up then?

I thought you needed to sleep...

I looked for you.

Really? How?

On Facebook.

Facebook?

But I didn't know you were using your mother's last name.

What a pity!

And what were you going to do if you found me on Facebook?

I don't know.

So the wedding is in July.

Yes.

-Who told you? -Dilek...

Have you talked to Dilek?

Yes, several times.

-Good luck to you, then. -You too.

-Where are you going? -Tarabya.

Let me give you a ride.

Just a second... A second... Can you pull over?

-Where? -There!

-Let's go. -Where?

-Come with me. -Tell me where, where are we going?

Come on!

Hello, welcome...

Hello.

Are you on the bride's side?

We're not on anyone's side... Can we go in?

Of course...

The groom is my nephew, my sister's son.

Let me have you seated here.

Welcome, again. Enjoy.

Hello.

-Deniz! What have we done? -It's funny, right?

But why have we done this?

Mert, you've been passing by this street on your way home for years.

Isn't it strange that you haven't done it even once?

-What would you like, Sir? -Bring us two Raki's please.

Raki? We're going to drink Raki?

Deniz, we have to leave in 5 minutes. What if someone sees us?

Where? Here? Look around you.

This is the only place in Istanbul

where you can drink Raki without the fear of being seen by anyone you know!

Come on, relax.

When was the last time you did something like this?

-Something like what? -This... Spontaneously, without planning.

Last summer.

Hello, welcome...

Hi. Congratulations. Grow old together!

-Thanks. -We...

Yeah my aunt told us about you. Two lovers on the brink of marriage.

Sorry, it seems I only have Pounds.

It's better. Have fun!

I can't believe this! I've pinned money on someone for the first time!

Is it so hard to believe even that? What a boring life you have!

-Come on, let's dance. -Yeah, let's dance.

I used to pin money in the past.

I'm happy for the first time ever since last year.

Me too.

No welcome kiss?

Your phone is off.

What? Oh, yes it seems to be.

You smell of Raki. Have you been you drinking?

Yeah, a little...

We were with a couple of people from London office. I just kept them company.

What's wrong with that?

I don't like the idea of your phone being off.

I thought it was on.

Why are you in bed so early?

Early?

Have you any idea what time it is?

These are so graceful. I haven't grown them before.

Yes, these are a special variety.

How about we organize a workshop together?

I'd love to. Let me think about it. Thanks for your invitation.

Thank you for coming. I hope we didn't bore you Cengiz.

-Not at all. It's a pleasure to be here. -Have a nice day.

I hope you really didn't get bored.

No.

Cengiz... If you don't mind, I want to invite Dilek's parents for dinner.

The wedding is in less than a month.

I don't want them to think we're not interested.

Are we going to invite the children as well?

Of course. They can join us if they want.

A pharmacy that's open! I need to get eye drops.

-Do you need something? -No, thanks dear.

Cengiz, can you buy me a hand cream? Thanks.

-Are you OK? -Yes, yes I'm fine. I'm a little tired.

I've been thinking... The dinner invitation can wait a little.

You're late. We won't have time to eat something.

I got stuck in a meeting. Sorry babe. Did you buy the tickets?

I did. I also ordered pizza while waiting for you.

Mert! Is there anything you want to tell me?

No. Like what?

I don't know.

You look stressed these days.

You have problems at work?

Yes, it's a stressful time at work.

I didn't realize it was so obvious. I'm sorry.

-Is that why you won't talk to me much? -That's not true.

Thanks.

We used to spend all our time together.

Last week we spent only 3 nights together.

Don't you realize how hard I work?

I just want to know if this is because we're getting married.

Dilek, please, eat your meal. The movie is about to begin.

I love you lots.

Any man in his right mind would like to have you forever.

I hope you're in your right mind.

Mert Bey, Deniz Demirci would like to see you.

Send her in.

-This way, please. -Thank you.

Hello.

What brings you here?

Nothing in particular. Just wanted to see your office.

It's not right for you to be here. Someone may see us.

I'm fed up with all this secrecy.

You're my boyfriend and it's in my rights to visit your office.

Or, aren't you my boyfriend?

-Have you had lunch? -No. Where are we going?

There's a nice Italian place I know.

-Good morning, dear. -Morning, mom.

-Can you drop me off at the museum? -Isn't it a little early for the museum?

I'll meet Candan to have breakfast first. I can go if you're busy.

-No, no. I'm not. I'll give you a ride. -Let me go get my bag.

You're always busy these days. It's impossible to catch you.

Yes, I'm running an important operation. I can't even see Dilek.

How are things with Dilek?

Fine.

Why?

Can't I ask this question to my son?

Of course you can. I didn't know you were thinking about our relationship.

I've been sensing a distance between you two lately.

I thought it was your job but I still wanted to ask.

Marriage is a big change in one's life.

It's normal to be stressed.

Thank you mom but your concerns are unwarranted.

There's no tension between us due to marriage.

Good to hear.

I just want you to know that I'll support your every decision.

You're too important to me Mert.

And you're the same for me mom.

The weather is beautiful today, isn't it? Just like a summer day.

I'll see you later. Bye.

Is there something between you and Deniz?

-What kind of thing? -You know...

Don't be ridiculous.

-Exactly when would that happen? -How will I know?

I'm just asking, OK?

We've been friends forever and I worry about you.

She is weird, man. I mean quirky... Do you get it?

She's always been like that. It's better to stay away.

I don't really know what you're talking about.

Ok, then let me go back to my first question. Have you slept with her?

-Is this what you want to know? -Yes.

I haven't, ok?

Are you satisfied now?

Yeah, I am.

Then why this question out of a sudden?

Well, be careful brother. That girl is dangerous.

Yes, this girl Deniz was so hot that I woke up in the morning

and shagged her with 10 boats around us and with my fiancée sleeping below!

And the girl is so good that I can't stop seeing her.

Sure, right!

Right. I'm sorry. I got it wrong.

-Look at you! Funny face... -Funny face?

You've met half of Istanbul thanks to me and this is the gratitude I get?

It's a free country.

Freedom?

Are you a teenager? What happened to that word, "responsibility"?

-What's this supposed to mean? -Never mind. Doesn't mean anything.

I was waiting at the traffic light in Bebek the other day and I saw Deniz.

She looked at me strangely and just walked off.

Maybe she didn't recognize me.

I thought she was in London or something.

You never know when and where she will pop out.

It's a free country, isn't it?

Aylin, you're really in top form today.

Man freedom is a complicated issue.

You know America greets everyone with the Statue of Liberty.

But everyone is a wage slave once they enter the country.

Have I said this before?

Babe, such remarks are out of your depth!

Don't do this to me baby.

I may be a funny face but I have two master's degrees under my belt.

Excuse me for a minute.

Excuse me.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

-What do you mean? -I saw you with that idiot.

You can't do this to Dilek!

-What idiot are you talking about? -Deniz!

She seems pretty smart to me.

-Are you having an affair with her? -Where do you get these ideas?

Now I know why you and your husband keep interrogating me.

Have you told Dilek anything?

-Are you having an affair with her? -Aylin, don't be so paranoid.

I saw you the other day. You were flirting with each other.

We bumped into each other and had a little conversation.

Why did you sneak into the men's room when Dilek told us she ran into her,

instead of telling of this encounter of yours?

Oh, come on! I don't know how you come up with all these silly ideas,

but it's quite something to make out of a mere encounter.

I'll keep an eye on you.

Spooky!

This is beyond me! What kind of a person are you?

You hop into her bed after hopping out of mine, as if nothing happened.

You know it's not like that.

Dilek is a good girl.

I don't want to hurt her.

I need some time to end the relationship properly.

And what does that make me?

A bad girl? Your mistress?

A slut you will forget when you get bored? Tell me! What am I?

I know you're acting up because you love me, but please calm down.

Tell me what I am, you idiot!

You are the woman that I love!

If I am the one you love, what the hell are you doing with her?

Enough! If you won't talk to her, I will... Right now!

Please Deniz, pass that to me.

We have to do this right.

I have to explain this also to Bora and Aylin.

Who cares about that stupid Aylin or Bora?

I won't be a mistress that you spend your free time with!

Deniz, we just need to wait a little longer. We're almost there.

I can't wait anymore Mert. I'm done.

I can't have this relationship any longer.

Get out! You coward!

I see. It seems the whole night's going to be this way.

Yeah. What were you expecting?

Was I supposed to forget everything and moan with pleasure under you?

You lost it completely! You know I don't expect that.

I miss you like crazy when I'm at work, like a teenager.

I tell all sorts of lies just to be able to spend 5 minutes more with you.

I love you so much.

Me too baby.

I love you so much.

Mert, let's escape. Please...

Let's go somewhere where we can live without a care.

We don't have to escape.

We'll live our relationship in front of everyone.

What does this silence mean?

Dilek, we can't work this relationship out.

Let's put an end to it.

We can't work it out?

No, I can't work it out.

This relationship suffocates me.

I need some space. I should stay in London for a while.

What are you talking about?

It's not you, it's me...

I should have seen this coming! All that crap!

What is it that you want and I can't give you?

Please, there's no need for drama. It's not you, it's me.

I'm not ready for marriage.

What do you think I am?

We don't have to get married!

Don't worry about that.

Let's just go to London together.

No, Dilek. That's not true.

You want to get married.

I can't expect you to leave your career to follow me to London.

Our relationship can survive only if I stay here.

The idea of living in this city forever and starting a family, it makes me sick!

Who wants to get married? Let's ditch that!

I know my folks can be too much.

They got too carried away with this whole thing. I understand.

It's OK... We'll make it work.

Mert...

please tell me the truth.

-Is there another woman? -Please...

No, of course there isn't someone else.

Dilek, our problem is wrong timing.

This a bad time in my life.

Listen to myself for a while. You are a perfect girl.

You deserve better than me.

What is all this?

I want you!

I chose you! And you chose me!

When exactly did you start to have a bad time?

Can we take a break?

I might pull myself together if we don't see each other for a while.

I'm suffering and I don't want to make you unhappy.

What suffering are you talking about?

You are at the head of a huge company, you have someone who loves you!

What else do you want? Everyone envies us.

I can't believe this...

I can't believe I've spent months trying to convince you that you're happy!

Damn it!

-I'm out of here... -Dilek, stop.

Don't go.

Dilek, go. Dilek, stop. What is this? Should I stay or go?

Will you be able to drive?

What do you care?

What is it to you if I can drive or not?

Dilek. I love you. Dilek...

Do you realize what you have done to Dilek?

I tried to protect her from myself, OK?

It was impossible for me to carry her when my life was a mess,

when I was trying to find myself.

Oh really?

I gave her the chance to be happy. To stay away from me.

You are under the spell of that she-devil!

Please don't refer to Deniz like that.

She has nothing to do with this.

She's a good friend helping me through this period.

Yeah, I bet! A friend you can take to bed!

I can't see why are you so interested in this.

Dilek is a very close friend of mine. That's why!

-What am I? -You're a lost cause.

Aylin!

What's this preoccupation with Deniz?

If you are the reason why Aylin hates her so much,

don't even think about it!

Do you hear what you're saying?

Those dirty jokes on the boat... Telling me not to get too close to her.

Do you think I'm an idiot?

You know what? Aylin is right.

You are completely lost.

For a talentless person like me,

it's a true challenge to reflect my perspective on canvas.

I think you've done very well.

Dinner time!

Ladies first.

-Did you like my father's paintings? -Yes, a lot.

I'm in a shock! You normally criticize a painting without mercy...

Mert, please don't embarrass Ms. Demirci.

You can call me Deniz.

-Would you like some of this? -Yes, please. Thank you.

What do you do for a living Deniz?

If you're asking my profession, I don't have one.

But there are lots of things in life that I work on.

Deniz is very interested in arts and philosophy.

Mostly photography though.

-Did you study arts in college? -No, philosophy.

But it wasn't an informed choice. I chose it to get my father's attention.

It must've been an overwhelming choice for a young girl.

What we don't choose in life can be more overwhelming than what we do choose.

I remember your mother. She was a very beautiful woman.

-What was her name? Kathryn? -Kathleen... As in Kathleen Turner...

I can't remember her at all. It's been a long time.

Maybe it's because she was too beautiful for other women to want to remember.

Mom, the artichokes are delicious...

-Have you tried them? -Yes, they are really delicious.

-Shall I help clear the table? -Oh, you don't have to. Neşe!

Here comes the joy of our home. Thank you, Neşe!

How is your father?

We talked on the phone last week. He doesn't stay in Istanbul much.

Your father's father was also a rather free-spirited man.

You probably didn't get to know him.

Oh, so it turns out I inherited my free spirit from my granddad.

My poor dad, apparently he wasn't original in that area either.

What about Mert's gene map? Who does he take after?

I took my biceps from dad.

Mert looks more like his father than me.

But as far as character goes, he is completely a work of Rana.

You're wrong my dear. Mert has his own unique qualities.

I just helped him bring them out.

You sound as if you're talking about a flower in your garden.

Oh, that's true.

Rana grows beautiful orchids, did you know that?

I'm Mom's flower. Let's drink to flowers.

-Hello, I was not expecting you. -Mert, can we have a talk?

-Of course, take a seat. -This is fine.

I didn't know you smoke cigars in the building.

The building management complained about it the other day.

Can you imagine?

We can't be comfortable even in our own place anymore.

There's something I want us to talk about.

Now lean back, close your eyes and tell me what you hear...

Sorry?

You heard me.

Lean back...

close your eyes...

and tell me what you hear.

-I can't hear anything. -Go ahead, try it.

There is some office noise...

telephones...

traffic, car horns...

You know what, I don't hear any of these.

It's been like this for years. I don't hear them.

When I was your age, I enjoyed every one of these sounds.

You should realize the worth of what you have, son...

I do sir.

But I heard that you didn't...

I thought you said you couldn't hear anything...

I can't hear things worth hearing.

I've also heard that we lost the wind turbine bid.

Do you have any role in that?

Our chance to win was already very low sir.

Do you have a role in that? That was the question.

Yes, I do sir.

My team and I weren't good enough.

All right. You lose today, you win tomorrow.

This is how it goes... Just stay in the game, all right?

Right.

Keep your ears wide open.

What happened? What did he say?

He seems disappointed about the loss of the wind turbine project.

What did he ask?

He made lots of implications. I really made a fool of myself.

You are his favorite. I hope we don't have to bear the brunt of this.

His favorite? You believe that too?

I'm a Columbia graduate, OK?

You think I'm here because I'm a favorite?

OK, just kidding. Everyone here has an impressive degree.

Don't get all sensitive about it.

Please, just don't get me started on this.

Yet another party?

The house is rocking since Deniz moved in.

Another party every night.

She is her father's daughter.

I'm worried for Mert.

He seems to have lost interest in his job.

-He leaves late every day. -You're exaggerating...

I'm not. Deniz is not good for him.

You're being unfair to your son.

Also, you seem to accuse Deniz of making Mert forget his manners.

No I'm not accusing her.

But she's a different girl, like a wild cat.

Sometimes too sincere... sometimes too aggressive.

I can't figure her out.

We bumped into each other at the door the other day and I invited her in.

She said "I hope you don't expect me to play neighbors."

-She must have been joking. -What kind of a joke is that?

It wasn't a joke.

-Hello! -Hello.

-Do you have any ice? -Yes, we do.

-Who is it? Is it Mert? -No dear, it's Deniz.

It's great to have someone close by that you feel free to drop in on.

Yeah, it's good to have neighbors.

-Hello, Cengiz. -Hello, dear.

The party seems to be in full blow.

Aren't you going to celebrate my birthday?

-I didn't know it was your birthday. -It's a fake birthday party.

A fake birthday party?

I felt like celebrating my birthday. And I organized a party for myself.

-Happy fake birthday then! -Would you like to join us?

Thanks but we're a little old for that kind of party.

I don't think you're old at all.

On the contrary, you look young and very attractive.

Thank you.

Thank you for the ice. You're super!

-I can't believe it. -What?

Deniz just kissed me.

Cengiz, don't laugh. I really can't understand her.

This girl is playing with us like a cat plays with a mouse.

What would you like?

Buy sacher , or something else with chocolate in it...

But please find sacher , and find it quick or I'll have to eat you up.

-You're serious... -I warned you. Quick!

-Hello! What would you like? -A sacher cake please.

-Here it is. Have a good evening. -You too.

Here you are, thank you.

Hello.

-Is Deniz not home? -She's going to be a little late tonight.

How's it going?

-How's what going? -Deniz and you.

Mom, it's not serious.

This is a transition period.

We both know that.

-One million. -One million what?

I just made a rough calculation. I subtracted the elderly and the children.

I eliminated the ignorant.

Then I eliminated the ones who are not beautiful enough to be with you

and I was left with a million educated and beautiful girls your age

who could be your girlfriend.

And you are stuck with Deniz in this huge pile.

-Why are you telling me this? -You know why I told you.

-You know that Deniz is not the issue. -What is the issue then?

Whenever we talk about Deniz, you say it is a temporary thing.

I don't think so because you're too sensitive for a temporary thing.

This girl will suffocate you, can't you see that?

Mom, it's you who suffocates me.

I'm just like a tree that you've been pruning for years.

These are not your words.

These are the words of a shrewish girl who constantly fights.

My father had his books

and you had your son.

I'm your project, your story, your novel.

Mom, I love Deniz.

I am happy. Try to be happy for me.

If you love me, accept her, Mom. Please.

-Deniz? -Yes?

-Can we have a chat? -About what?

About Mert. He doesn't look OK lately.

He's always late off to work and sometimes he doesn't even go.

Why don't you talk this through with Mert?

This has nothing to do with me.

Deniz, I think it may have something to do with you.

And I think you may be about to cross a line here.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. What I'm trying to say is...

What kind of an attitude is this?

Are you going to hold me responsible for your son's mistakes?

No, I didn't mean that.

What did you mean then?

Deniz, you should admit that you have a different lifestyle.

A very active lifestyle. Mert tries to keep up with you

but it seems he can't handle your pace of life.

Are you saying that he did pretty well so far away from you for so many years,

but now he's back home and having problems

because of his girlfriend who has a different lifestyle?

Is this what you mean?

-No, Deniz, you got it wrong... -How can I get this right, Rana?

Deniz...

can you keep this chat between us please?

It's getting to be overcrowded here. Let's move these to the other flowerbed.

These and these, too.

-You're early. -What are you trying to do?

Rasim, can you water the front garden please?

Yes, now we can talk.

I told you to leave me and Deniz alone.

What did she tell you?

You couldn't help it, could you? You couldn't help interfering in my life.

You couldn't stand that I love something that you don't.

Deniz was right about you. You're a dictator.

Mert... I want that girl to move out immediately.

Do you have this in any other colors?

It's only available in black. It's a chic fit for your husband.

-Ok, I'll get the bigger size please. -Sure.

Dilek?

-Hi. -Hi.

How are you?

I'm fine. You?

I'm doing fine.

Actually I don't know who I am these days.

Isn't it ridiculous?

Yes, I have to say it is.

Will you...

ever forgive me?

Would you believe it if I said yes?

I would, if you want me to believe it.

Here, I've brought both sizes. You may try it on if you like sir.

-It's not for me. -I'm sorry.

Meet me at the cafe in half an hour.

-Deniz, hello. -Hello, I didn't see you.

Are you all right?

I'm not feeling well. I'll go home.

I'm going home too. Let me give you a ride.

What's wrong with you Deniz?

I'm tired.

I'm so tired.

What the hell happened here?

You, liar!

Hey, what happened?

You know what happened.

What happened?

-You know very well what happened. -Deniz, what is it?

I hate you!

Wait, wait... What happened?

What the hell were you doing with Dilek?

Are you taking revenge? Is it my turn now?

What are you saying? Is that all?

Answer my question!

Please, I can't get into a useless argument over this nonsense now.

What do you want to argue about then?

Let's argue about your mother who hates me!

Actually it is you who hates her!

What happened all of a sudden? Why are you angry?

-Are you pissed about that? -Yes, I am pissed at that.

She is older than you, you could have more respect.

You're not normal.

Oh, yeah? And you are?

Why do we live in this apartment Mert? Isn't there another place in the world?

Why do we live here?

That argument again?

Good night! No, have a bad night.

You can go to hell. I am talking to you mama's boy!

Deniz, are you fifteen or what?

Deniz, are you fifteen? Yes I am! And how old are you? 5 or 7?

Isn't there one single sane woman in this country?

But I am sane in bed, aren't I? Tell me.

Have you ever done something with a woman other than get into her pants?

Shut up!

I've been around too.

Whenever we go somewhere,

I remember having sex with at least 20 men there.

Enough!

But I did all of that here, not in the US like you!

I slept with everyone. Everyone!

The best and the worst! The kindest!

-Maybe I'll sleep with your dad tomorrow -Shut up! You're insane! Go away!

Am I insane? Insane? Yes, I am! I'm insane!

Deniz, calm down. Pull yourself together! Enough!

-The turbine job has been taken from us. -What do you mean?

Mr. Ruhi took over the job himself

when the English guys made a big fuss about it.

I need to fix this.

Mert! You'll pay for this.

-Mr. Ruhi has guests. -I need to see him right away.

-He is not available at the moment. -When will he be?

I was supposed to be in that meeting too.

Mr. Korkut...

did you have a chance to think about my request?

What you're asking from me is almost impossible.

You want me to put you back in the game, despite Mr. Ruhi.

Why would I do that?

Because you know me. You know that I can pull this job.

You had all the time in the world! Why didn't you do it then?

I have no excuse.

Please, give me a final chance.

-I won't let you down this time. -I am sorry Mert.

I don't think I can help you with this.

I understand.

I told you not to buy this boat, didn't I?

No, you didn't.

This way. Shoes! Well done.

You know what happened last week?

In the middle of the sea, the generator died just like that.

I was stuck in the dark all on my own.

Nothing was working,

no moon,

clouds everywhere...

I checked the generator.

All was fine.

Filters were clean.

So that left me with only one option.

One option Mert...

What do you think is the probability that a fish

in that empty Marmara sea blows out the fuse?

One in a million? One in a trillion?

My mom made a similar calculation the other day.

Your mother's calculations are always right.

So, did the generator work in the end?

It worked right away.

Didn't you already tell me?

How I missed you! You rascal!

Hi.

-What're you doing? -I'm watching Dolce Vita .

So what did you do today?

Work.

-What did you do? -Nothing. I didn't go out.

Deniz...

I can't go on with this relationship anymore.

You say that because of our fight the other day?

No.

We're too different for this relationship to work out.

You have the courage and the free spirit that I will never have.

I don't want to tie you down.

I see. You have a point.

I love you like crazy. Like crazy...

But this is a pathetic relationship...

And I want to heal.

La Dolce Vita, Hasta La Vista.

We've been alienated in this relationship.

Driven away from people.

Isolated. Our friends avoid us. They don't even want to see us.

We don't need anyone's love Mert.

Why should we care about some idiots' friendship?

It's not just that...

Tell me then?

Are you doing all this just to conform to the stupid society?

Is it so bad to be alone and different?

We can't go against the whole world.

The whole world?

What are you talking about?

As if we are the only worries of the whole world!

I tried to be like you but I failed.

Please don't repeat the lines you prepared beforehand.

Let's watch the film and live the moment.

You can't stop yourself from following a route, can you?

You're right.

Thanks for understanding me.

Coward, you're a coward!

You think you're perfect?

You're perfect? Kind? Gentle? You are a coward, a coward!

Then, go and find yourself someone brave.

No

No.

Shut up...

Please shut up...

Just tell me you love me.

Tell me you won't leave me.

-I'm doing this for both of us, Deniz. -No! No!

-You'll agree with me later. -No! No!

Don't touch me!

Cengiz. The door bell.

Mert?

-Deniz has swallowed a bottle of pills. -What?

-Dad, please rescue her... -Have you called the emergency?

No. Dad, call an ambulance! Dad, please rescue Deniz!

How is she?

-Her stomach is being pumped. -I'll go see the doctor.

Have you called her parents?

I called her father.

He didn't answer. So I sent a message.

Mom... I'm so sorry.

It all happened because of me.

I told her I wanted to break up with her.

She was right, mom. I'm a coward.

Calm down son, everything's going to be all right.

No mom, nothing's going to be all right.

Everything's going to be worse.

The harder I try to float, the deeper I sink.

Mom, please help me.

-Hello. -Hello.

I'm Kenan, Deniz's father.

-You must be Rana. -Let me tell Mert that you're here.

-There's no need. We met in the hall. -Let me leave you two alone then.

Please stay, don't go. She's like your daughter too.

Deniz was always a difficult kid.

Her mom and I couldn't give her the attention she deserved.

As a matter of fact, we may be the reason behind all her suicide attempts.

-Did it happen before? -Several times.

I'll pay the hospital expenses.

I don't want her to bother you with more trouble.

She is very lucky to have met a guy like Mert.

I'd better go now.

Despite the circumstances, it was a pleasure to meet you.

Sweetie?

Where is Mert?

He waited by your bed till morning.

Cengiz took him home to get some sleep.

Did my father come?

He did. You were asleep and he didn't want to wake you up.

I'm so sorry that I made you go through all this trouble.

I'm so embarrassed.

I love Mert very much.

I don't want to lose him.

Let's call Mert. Do you want to talk to him?

Mert?

I'm so sorry my love.

I love you so much too.

Yes, I'm OK.

Are you going out?

Yes mom.

How is Deniz?

Better.

I'm happy that you went back to work

even though you have to move to London.

Yes, I've been through a stormy time.

But now the waters have calmed again.

I've started working hard.

It's best to work hard.

Your father always says so.

When are you going to fly to London?

Tonight.

I'll be off for 4 days.

Deniz will be alone at home.

Let me show you the orchids.

Mom, you've done a great job this year.

They are like dad's paintings.

So orderly!

You two are superb.

And you are our greatest masterpiece.

I love this house so much mom.

I want to be happy in this house again.

Like I was before. Is it possible?

Mom, I'm sorry.

There is nothing to be sorry about.

-Hello, may I come in? -Hello.. sure...please do...

-Is the cake for me? -Yes.

I'm so glad you came.

You look good.

I feel like I've been given a second life.

And I'm thrilled to be moving to London to start afresh.

I wasn't able to thank you properly.

I have a gift for you.

You didn't have to... It's kind of you.

I hope you like it.

I haven't been in the same photograph as Mert for a long time.

-Thank you very much. -I'm glad you liked it.

The weather is awesome today, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

Did you know that this was Cengiz's studio before Mert moved in?

Yes I do.

Deniz, I want you to pack your belongings and leave this house.

Is that a joke?

You can't go to London with Mert.

Why not?

You shouldn't if you really love Mert. You're not the one for him.

Do you know what you're saying?

What kind of a sick relationship is that?

You know what, I think I should rescue him from you if I really love him.

Who do you think you are?

Get your hands off Mert!

Mert is what he is and you are what you are.

Neither of you can change. He has a long life in front of him.

Don't make things harder than they already are.

You are the one who stands before him.

You are the biggest obstruction he faces.

I have given my life for him.

If you love him so much you should also give up something.

-Mert gave up his life to live yours! -No, his life...

I won't let you ruin our life. There's nothing left to talk about.

-Get out of here! -No.

Get lost!

-Calm down. Please let me explain... -Out!

I have no problem with your life. I just want my son's life back.

Can't you see how much harm you've done to him?

Get out!

-Do you know how much you hurt him? -Get out!

Get out!

Get out!

Get out!
