What might put you off
  • It's in Turkish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1973: an older pace and style.

Kerem and Ebru are a couple in love. However, their families' centuries-old feud is the biggest obstacle standing in their way. Ebru's family decides to marry her off to Bahri in order to make her forget Kerem. But Kerem and Ebru, who refuse to be separated no matter what, run away on their wedding day.
