Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating.
What might put you off
  • It's in Turkish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1966: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

The film is about a rich man who falls in love with a poor woman. Cüneyt, the son of a millionaire businessman, is about to get engaged. To test his fiancée and her friends, he tells everyone that he has gone bankrupt. As a result, his fiancée breaks up with him. His friends also do not attend the engagement ceremony. As a result, Cüneyt decides to distance himself from his social circle and spend some time in the outskirts of the city. With the help of a worker who is employed by him, he begins living in Kumkapı. Cüneyt will fall in love there and decide to marry.
