Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for people who'll be humming afterwards and people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. If you loved Hairspray or The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, start here.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 23 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in Turkish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1941: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Keloğlan and Tekin are two brothers. One night, they come to a coffee shop with the desire to become apprentices. Since the coffee shop has not had any customers for a long time, they are not hired. The two, who spend the night there, wake up when three dervishes arrive. With the dervishes' prayers, the coffee shop fills up with customers. The two brothers are regarded as miraculous. Tekin's fame spreads throughout the world, and princesses from India, China, and Kaf want to marry him, sending envoys to the coffeehouse. Tekin rejects all these offers and eventually falls in love with Zeynep, a shepherdess.
