You tried this kind of stuff before?
Sure.
Good... Clean
and confidential.
My partner wants
to wear a basketball cap and shades.
That doesn't bother you,
I hope.
OK. No problem...
My only condition is
I won't go underneath.
Otherwise, like I said, I'm
up for anything.
ALONE
I arrived in this world
With soil on the ground,
stars in the sky
Parched on the one hand,
with sea on the other
They gave me two hands and a head
A pair of eyes and told me to cry
People like me all around
Tongues, they say,
are to speak the truth
Here is your heart. Love! They say
They lied to me
They lied to me
They never said anything about fate
They lied to me
They lied to me
They never said anything about fate
You are alive, so let my life pass by
At least let every day brim with joy
So what about the things,
the people I love?
And those I have lost my heart to?
When longing dies, then I die too
So what happened
to the people I love?
To those I lost my heart to?
When longing dies, then I die too
enol, don't do anything to show you
recognise the guy.
- You didn't use his name, did you?
- No.
Good.
He looks nothing like
in the paper.
It's not like his
column is massive either.
He's just anyone.
But you treat him like royalty.
If the guy doesn't leave satisfied...
You'll carve me up
with the smallest knife.
Good... Hold it.
- Hello?
- What are you up to?
- I'm good. How's things with you?
- Are you free?
I guess business is
bad again.
Well, it's midweek, isn't it?
Don't tell me you're
getting old.
Ooph! Are you coming over or not?
OK. I'll come. A couple
of words don't do it.
- Half an hour.
- Well, fine. Superman's ready to fly...
I need a quick nap.
OK. I'll tell him if I see him.
OK, OK. Hang up.
I'm on my way. Ooph!
- Don't pull my hair! It hurts!
- Shut up! Let me fuck your hair!
It's the only thing left to fuck
anyway, animal!
- Who am I?
- You're my man...
You're my animal. You're my pasha.
You're my husband...
You're my
everything!
So... Yasemin...
I didn't hurt you, did I?
I mean, look, you know me...
Oh God! OK, I know you.
Can I pour you a drink or something?
Vodka or whatever...
Well, hey! No kidding. Look who's
getting old!
In the old days, I'd bust
my ass to get a drink...
...and a couple of words out of you
when we were done.
And you'd look me straight
in the eye to make sure I left.
What's going on with you?
You want me to play something?
Sure, go ahead.
But play it for yourself.
I'm out of here.
Hey, don't stick it here on the edge of
the table like I'm the cleaning lady...
If you want treat a woman nicely,
slip this into my bag...
...without me noticing. Let's have
a bit of finesse around here...
OK.
OK. Don't leave it long.
Or I'll get upset... One day
I'll do the schoolgirl for you.
You haven't sorted
through your dirty laundry.
I was going to put
the machine on...
OK, I'll do that now,
Glten Hanim.
Oh, and you're out of Domestos.
Washing-up liquid too.
I'll call the grocery store.
They'll send it.
Try and leave around six.
But there's the windows
to clean too.
OK, make it seven.
All right then.
Ahhh!
So it showed up...
Where did you find it? I asked you
to put it aside for me.
I'd never have forgiven you
if it had been sold, Figen Hanim.
The girl must have put it there. I
mean, it must have been the girl.
I'm sorry.
Oh, sorry...
Sorry. It's just nervous
laughter. That's all.
Far From the Madding Crowd.
Thomas Hardy. Do you have it?
No.
Good as new.
Excuse me.
Goodbye.
How much do I owe you for this,
Figen Hanim?
How much shall we say?
Let's say 150.
And that's special for you.
You know how hard it is to get
hold of. So 150 for you.
Alper. Alper! A bag! A bag!
I suppose you did laugh in there but...
Do you know that this LP was released
in 1984 in only 2222 copies...
...and there's only around
And because the record company later
closed down...
...meaning no CDs were ever
brought out...
...I'm holding a real
treasure in my hand right now.
I didn't know that was the album
you had.
I ve learned something more in
my old age.
You should consider
inserting a pause...
Using one long sentence
doesn't mean...
...you've made some
kind of impressive speech.
It just means your command of
language is lousy.
Hello.
Do you have?
Far from something... The book...
Far from Angry People...
By what's-his-name...
It's a matter of life and death...
No. That's not the title.
Forget I ever said it.
Harvey...
That's the writer's surname.
Come on there! Please help me!
His surname's Harvey...
Thomas Hardy.
Far From the Madding Crowd.
That's it!
Let me get that right away.
Just a second, the classics
are in the back.
You're wonderful!
This is enough, right?
I don't want a receipt.
But I have to scan the barcode.
OK, so just use another copy...
Thanks a lot. Goodbye.
Found it! I found it.
The book.
You mean?
You wanted this.
It's not hard to find.
Every bookshop has it.
I particularly wanted
a second-hand copy.
A collector like you
doesn't get where I'm coming from.
This is second-hand.
Look, this is how it works.
The book's mine, see?
It's mine, mine, mine...
It's warming up.
Now I give it to you. So what happens?
It becomes second-hand
Gift of the day. To umm... Make up.
- Sounds like your phone is ringing.
- Yes. It's normal, right?
Aren't you going to answer it?
I get my mates to call
for background music...
Your jokes suck, you know.
Straight off a sitcom.
I'm sorry. I've talked too much.
OK... I mean, I'll take it then.
I mean... Actually I...
I understand.
Please... Don't say anything.
LITTLE HEROES
Sorry, this is kind of strange.
It's like I've followed you...
...but that's not
really the case.
The shop sign caught my eye.
When I took a closer look,
there you were inside.
Right. It can happen. I've seen other
people do that sometimes.
Isn't it kind of late
to be opening the shop?
I wasn't opening it. I'd opened up
already. I just went out at one point.
You mean, it's you who makes all this
stuff? How does it work?
Like this. On big days, say birthdays
or festivities at school...
...kids get to
be whatever they want to be.
- Thanks to you.
- Well...
I'd like to be Zagor.
We don't do XXX-large.
I'd like to get something for my son.
But I don't even know what he likes.
Well. We could ask.
But there's not much point left then.
Is there?
I'm sorry. I don't want to pry but...
The classic story. We got divorced.
I see him once a week.
That doesn't leave a lot of
time to ask him...
...who his all-time hero is.
I find he's grown from one week
to the next as it is.
- It must be hard.
- It is.
Very...
Anyway. I ve talked too
much again. Take it easy... Goodbye.
Suppose we do something like this.
Bring him here one day...
...let him choose a costume
and I'll make it.
Or get his measurements and
it can be a surprise.
OK... Wonderful
I'm Ada.
Alper.
Hello? I think you called.
- It's me, Ece.
- Sorry, who?
I'm sorry. My phone packed up.
All the numbers went.
That's why I didn't
recognise you.
And I was waiting for you to call.
OK. It was nicked back then.
After that I got a new one.
And that packed up.
It fell in the water at home.
Don't swear, please. It's rude.
Oh God! What a jerk!
Welcome.
That's the guy.
The wizard behind all this artistry,
the man himself!
Alper Bey, about the only thing we
haven't done is not come for high tea.
Enjoy the meal.
What will become of me? I've put on
five kilos since I started this job.
All thanks to you...
We have a diet menu.
Let's find something there for you.
I read this
in a magazine somewhere.
There are two lines men use without
believing a word of them.
One is, I love you. And the other is,
I'm only going to eat salad today.
Once a while
you tell the truth.
enol. Take a salad to Table Three.
To Kerem Bey.
Do something funky
with the garnish.
OK. I've got you.
This is what you say.
Gentlemen, here's wishing you convince
the ladies at the table.
Eat it with faith and conviction.
It's on the house.
Sorry... I don't think
I understood.
You're doing your
English trip again...
Off you go now.
They'll understand.
Can you run through
the sentence again?
What the hell did I say? No way,
I can't come up with it again.
Go and take them a dessert.
Don't say anything either.
Next time you call... Don't give me all
that shit about losing your phone.
You take me for an idiot?
Don't get me wrong. I have to
get up really early tomorrow.
There's a meeting on.
Are you crazy? How do you expect me
to leave when I m as stoned as this?
I'll get you a cab. Voom!
Lt'll take no time.
- I'll give you the fare.
- What fare? God!
What are you upset about?
I have a meeting.
Fuck you! Go fuck yourself!
You're all the same load of shit.
- Shhh! That's rude.
- Fuck off!
Hello, Mum...
How are you doing?
Son! I called you this morning but...
Was it too early?
No. I was busy.
You never stop,
day and night, son...
Every second you're running
about the place.
You don't get anywhere if you don't,
Mum. Are you OK?
Yes, fine. Your sister and her family
are here. Your brother and his lot too.
They say to say hello.
I heard. I heard.
How's the little monster?
Fine as ever. Growing up fast.
He's started talking.
He never stops chattering now.
Granny this, Granny that...
How's my sister
and my brother?
Fine. He's here too. He fixed the back
wall of the garden yesterday...
It fell down.
He found a builder, bless him.
If you need anything,
I can send it to you.
Has anyone asked you
for money now?
For goodness sake! I have money of
my own. I miss you, that's why I...
Listen. Remember
old Mahmut Hodja s son?
Erdem. You were
friends with him at school.
I remember.
He's getting married. They've asked
me to the wedding in Istanbul.
They want me
to be a marriage witness.
I couldn't let them down so I'm thinking
about coming up for a few days.
Then I'll get
to see you too.
We all know how
difficult is for you to come down here.
- When will you be coming?
- Well, not for another 10 days.
OK, Mum... That'll be nice.
It will, won't it? Is there anything
you want from here?
OK, love and
kisses then, son...
OK, Mum.
Good morning. Take it easy there.
Good morning.
Have any spare coffee?
Sure but... Look, I m sorry but are you
always going to show up like this?
Well, there you go. What can we do?
Cake...
Carrot and cinnamon.
Sure.
So did you get your son's measurements
then?
Not yet. I haven't seen him yet.
That's why.
That's normal. How would you
measure a son who doesn't exist?
You could guess a
few numbers...
...or pull a whole new stunt and
drag the neighbour's boy here...
...like he
was your own son. Right?
Don't look like that. Do I look
like some kind of idiot?
All that stuff
about splitting up.
The irresistible charms of a
single guy with a son.
A stunt to pull
young girls. How many sugars?
Two.
Guys like you cruise Badat Street on
Sundays for that reason alone.
They drag their nephews and
nieces with them...
So it looks like the kids are theirs...
They stare about the place with eyes
like dead fish.
The whole emotional trip, the young
guy who's been dumped on...
...by life and all that. And they use
the kids for that, the bastards.
Hold on... I stayed for the punches,
seriously.
After a couple of times in bed, it's
I can't, I'm confused...
...there's a pile of stuff I have
to sort out in my life...
...I don't deserve you, it hurts now,
when you find the right person...
...you'll thank me... That story...
Well, they wouldn't fall for it.
To be quite honest, you sound like
you did fall for it some time.
Get lost!
Pig.
Welcome.
Can I get a T-shirt?
Large?
- What kind of thing?
- I'm not looking for any kind.
A T-shirt...
Find me something, anything.
How are they?
Are you taking the piss?
This stuff is for queens!
Where are the T-shirts for
regular guys?
But I don't know your style
so I can't help.
We generally do our own designs...
Retro... From the 60s to the 80s.
There's a dark colour here.
How's that?
What did you say?
What could I have possibly said?
Good morning, Boss.
Welcome.
Take it easy there, kids.
I'll chop up anyone who looks at this
T-shirt for more than two seconds.
Meltem, stick this in bleach,
will you?
There's coffee all over it.
Do we have anyone important for
lunch? enol, answer.
No... There's an old pop singer,
past-it. I've forgotten his name.
That's no regular coffee spill.
Someone spilled it.
At this time of morning?
The guy doesn't do morning or evening.
He's all over the place.
Meltem! Are you reading coffee
fortunes there or what?
Here comes the clapping.
We're cooking here.
It's a great review, Alper Bey.
Good... enol, read this out loud.
We're cooking here.
My latest discovery in Tnel is
Leblon...
Like the celebrated American
food writer says, I adore everything...
...that's made with love and passion.
Food especially.
- Have the girls left?
- Yes.
Go on. Off you go too. I'll lock up.
Do you need me for anything else?
No, thanks.
You left your phone in the kitchen.
Hello?
Well, hello... It's Ada.
Ada.
I'm calling to apologise. It's
good you wrote down your number.
I have to spill coffee on you
again for that as well, but...
OK, do that some time
when you're free.
Then you'll have to apologise
again.
You better save my number
on your phone.
I called to apologise. I mean,
don't look for anything underneath.
God forbid... I've had my
head bitten off already.
Hey, come on. You really know how to
make someone feel bad.
OK, OK. I'm not saying any more.
Listen. Your number's showing now.
Should I save it? Next time you
call and I use your name to answer...
...don't get mad at me.
You mean, I'll be calling you again.
Really?
That's not what I meant.
I mean, it was a kind of joke.
I told you already, your jokes suck.
And actually, I did gate-31-gate...
...but you don't
accept private numbers...
So then I had to
call normally.
Hey! How can you be so confident
about yourself?
Excuse me, but this was supposed
to be an apology call.
And I'm still
taking a knocking here.
Say something nice for once.
Something that works like medicine.
The cake was nice... Will that do?
By the way, where did you get it?
Don't say your mum made it, did she?
Hah! There! Now sit tight! I made it.
Oh yeah! I really swallowed that!
I actually did swallow
it. After you left, I sat down...
...and ate the whole thing,
I was so mad.
I didn't feel at all bloated.
A whole cake!
Who made it, honestly?
Ah! I don't believe it!
I promise you it was me.
I don't normally talk about
my talent to people straight off.
So should I feel privileged now?
Shouldn't you? You want to feel like
someone ordinary, someone regular?
I think you're doing
yourself down, young lady.
I'm hanging up... Look, I'm telling you
in words I'm going to hang up.
So it's not like
I hung up in your face...
OK, see you. I mean... It just
came out like that.
See you...
Has your friend turned up?
Sure, she's here. We're all
dressed up waiting for you.
Are we talking a Lolita?
A true Lolita. Don't
scare the girl on the first night.
Don't be an animal
with her. OK?
OK. I'll be with you
in ten minutes.
Don't be scared. He won't hurt you.
I'm here, honey. Only do
what you want to do.
I'll hold your hand.
Don't worry. OK?
I can't live with you or without you
It's too bad, there are no answers
Being either together or apart
It's impossible, for no reason
What dreams we had, what hopes
How we longed to be happy
Neither you are to blame nor I
Hi, Mum... Mum... How are you?
I put 2000 lira in your account today.
Withdraw it from the bank today.
Well, OK. You were talking about a
wedding and stuff.
Go and buy yourself a dress.
OK, Mum. OK.
I'm hanging up now. We'll talk again
later. I have work to do.
It's us! Good morning!
Good morning. Welcome.
Thank you. All's well, I hope... Is our
costume ready?
Yes, absolutely. The young lady
will go down in history today...
...as my first
female cowboy.
Well, I really don't know where
she got the idea from.
I told you! That film with Selma
Hayek...
Today's kids... Couldn't you have been
a princess, darling?
Wouldn't that have
been better?
That's so boring, Granny.
Ah! We'll end up with a little boy
Fatma at this rate.
Hey, come on! I want to put it on.
Well, it rather suits you. Really. Huh?
Can I take a
picture for my collection?
I mean just
for the store.
Of course. Go ahead.
- Are these the others?
- Yes.
Well, they re
marvellous. I mean, honestly...
But wouldn't it be easier if you
used a digital camera?
Hmmm.
Now come here.
Do a huge smile for me. OK?
My name is Bond, Alper Bond...
Oh, please! You mean people
are still doing that?
It takes me
back to middle school.
So it's not that outdated after all.
- Why am I here, right?
- You took the words out of my mouth.
You owe me a shirt.
I soaked it in bleach but
the stain didn't come out.
Oh God. I'll get you
a new one right away.
You have another choice. Forget
the shirt, but have dinner with me.
I'll do the cooking.
Right in front of your eyes.
I'll make another cake too.
Carrot and cinnamon.
OK... I'll get the shirt.
Don't do this to me.
I want to say something. Maybe I'm
married. Maybe I'm a lesbian.
Maybe I have a boyfriend who's a
boxer... God!
Don't you want to know
the slightest thing?
Maybe... I'm trying out the other side
of maybe...
At the end of the day, I'm
trying it out... Allow me... Dinner.
Just dinner. I'll leave you in peace
afterwards. Promise.
All the secrets of carrot
and cinnamon cake...
A new skill you'll be proud of.
My record collection. Something
with vegetables, light and harmless.
Just one glass of wine and
a lift home afterwards.
That's
all part of the package.
- I'll come at 7 and leave at 10.
- 11.
- The shirt.
- OK, 10. Tonight.
I'm off before you change your mind.
I'll call you at 6.
To give you directions. Make
sure you hear your phone.
Ooph...
I mean, 70s or 80s pop.
Something not too well known.
Listen to this. It came in just
yesterday.
Hello, Sinem? How's things? Ooph!
I've done something really dumb tonight.
God knows what I'm doing.
Stop me, please...
Look, I'll explain now.
Hope you don't have it already.
No, I don't. Really.
Where did you find it?
Come in. You know how hard it is
to track down the original?
Hold a vegetable in your hand and it
tells you how long it needs cooking.
You just have to learn to look at it,
see it and listen to it...
You can't put everything in one dish.
A pinch of this, a pinch of that.
No way.
That would be
vulgar and ignorant.
What we need is
the beauty of harmony.
Don't believe it when they say things
like throw it all in together and stir.
They all have different cooking times.
Zucchini, mushrooms and this lot...
...cook the quickest. You can't throw
them in with carrots...
Just listen to what they tell you...
Vinegar, mustard, they're dominant
flavours...
You should think twice
before using them.
They can be wonderful in some dishes,
but they can also murder others.
Wait, don't drink yet. I always think
it's something that people do wrong.
Will you taste the food first?
Wow! It's like poetry...
Ah! It's like...
Individually they're all different,
but they're all the same as well.
There you go... Look, if you'd
had some wine beforehand...
...the food would only
have tasted of wine.
Like this, the wine goes with it.
The first taste is the
most important.
Because the second follows it.
There's something else my
profession gives me as well.
I know people from the way they eat.
You, for example, are a one-by-one
kind of person.
You like living life slowly, serenely
and without hurrying.
Alternatives and abundance
are things that scare you.
Hmmm... I see.
There's no rule to say that's how it
is. It's just the fun part of the job.
The fun part. Really? Fine, then.
All right... You know what the most
beautiful thing about cooking is?
What?
Feeding someone... Or rather, seeing
the expression on their face...
...when they take the first mouthful...
There, that's like the picture of my life.
Just like the kids on your wall...
I did fine arts at university. Stage
design and decor. I spent a while...
...working as an art director
on films and TV soaps...
But the way the market
operates isn't exactly up my street...
How should I put it?
It's kind of like the system's based...
...a bit on exploitation... Plus
a load of people don't value...
...what you do in the first place.
I haven't severed all my
connections though...
I hire out costumes for films
or make them...
But at the end of the day,
I'm captain of my own ship.
I like films.
Everyone does... But I mean, it's a
crazy business.
Not my kind of thing at all. I had two
years in the business.
When I realised that in all that
time I hadn't spent...
...a single rainy evening shored up with
a book and a glass of tea...
I fled without so
much as a backward glance.
God! And you call me Bohemian...
You were supposed to be
teaching me the secrets of cake.
Hey, hold on! It's only 9.15.
How about
we listen to this?
Wait. Don't...
Oh God! The glasses are the size of
bell jars as it is!
Nil Burak. I'm Alone. Without wine.
I don't think so.
It's a clean copy... Wonderful.
This is a human voice, you know?
Back then there was no machine
they could make the sound with.
It's beautiful.
This could be the group Istanbul
Geliim. They played to a load of...
...people back then. Look, nothing's
done on the cheap, you see?
It's the real thing.
What dedication.
Beautiful.
You've made me very happy. Thanks.
I don't believe it... They're such
great songs, these.
But I'd never have guessed the sound
quality could be this good.
It's really better quality than a CD.
It's what everyone says when
they start out.
You know why? Because records are
analogue and haven't been compacted.
Here, listen... There's real depth to
it. It has the effect of being live.
In fact, look. Close your eyes.
It's like you're at a concert...
...like she's there
singing right in front of you.
Wow! It really is.
- Alper, I want to go home.
- Don't go.
- I must go.
- Stay.
- No.
- Stay.
- Please...
- Please.
- Alper...
- Ada...
It was strange... I'm sorry...
I guess
I got a bit over-excited.
It's OK. It doesn't matter.
Good morning.
You've cleared the whole
place up.
Yes... I had nothing else
to do. So I did it.
You should have woken me up.
Shall I get you one too?
No. I'm fine like this.
Did you sleep well last night?
I guess you got up at one point.
Yes... I'm not that used to sleeping
with someone.
I mean, it's got nothing to do with
you. It's just I'm not used to it.
In fact, I could even say
you're the first.
Is that supposed to
make me feel good?
Or the opposite perhaps?
We're just talking.
What are we talking about, huh?
I mean, is that it?
There was a guy I
talked to last night, yes.
But for the last 10 hours...
Since we had sex, in other words...
We're back to the kind of shallow
small talk you'd hear on the bus.
Ada, look. I'm just confused, that's
all. I'm a bit, you know...
A bit what? Why are you confused?
Yes, I'm expecting an answer.
Look, hang on! Where are you going?
Let's have breakfast.
Let me give you a half-baked
analysis of your coffee-drinking.
Your wanting
to share wasn't about sharing at all.
It was about finishing the coffee as
fast as possible. Believe me...
Whatever you may think, this isn't the
fun part of analysis either, unfortunately.
I have enough experience of life to
know that.
Hello? Good morning. How are you
doing? I'll explain.
Look, come to the
store and we'll grab breakfast. OK?
Hello, Glten Hanim?
Can you come today?
I'll be going out. I'll leave your
money in the normal place...
OK, take
it easy then.
Slow down, girl! What's going on?
Ada, talk to me.
Here. Drink this...
How about we go to
the bathroom? You can freshen up.
Ada, have you fallen in love?
- Don't be ridiculous.
- You have.
Look, I said no, didn't I? Are you off
your head?
Well, what else would you say?
It's him... What shall I do?
Pick it up, girl! You're being so
weird, Ada.
I'm not picking up right away.
Let him call a second time.
Hello? Ada's phone...
It's her friend here.
- Isn't she there herself?
- Yes... She is but...
She doesn't take
calls too often.
Ada, what's this bullshit?
Didn't you move a bit fast there?
No. I just turned around
while I still could.
What's all this about? OK, I was a
bit distant this morning. I agree.
That doesn't mean anything...
Ada, please.
Look, let's not turn this
into something ridiculous.
Ada, are you there?
Yes.
Please... Give me another chance.
Let's speak later.
It's not a good time.
- When should I call?
- Later... I don't know.
All right.
I did well, didn't I?
You were fantastic.
Sinem, are you taking the piss
or telling the truth?
In your current mood, you
object to everything anyone says.
I'll just agree with everything you say.
So it's that cycle...
You'll be back to normal in a few
days. Then I, you know...
Well, I got you a plaster.
- What shall I do with these?
- Toss them.
At least have a look, won't you?
What are they?
Toss them.
I'm hungry.
I make a sauce for this with soya sauce
and a splash of balsamic. It's so good.
Come on.
Take me somewhere.
Somewhere
quiet where we can listen to music.
There's this place I know. It's like
travelling back in time.
- You won't believe it.
- Make me believe it then.
Didn't you know
as you were caressed?
Didn't you laugh as I told you?
Our fortune holds longing
And separation, didn't I tell you?
You'd never have understood, never
You'd never have believed in fate
either
And you were supposed to be someone
Who could never cause hurt or be
heartless
I wish you happiness, my love
May life smile on you even if I am not
there
On your head be it
You leave behind a pair of crying eyes
OK. This is it.
See you in the morning.
I shouldn't come in?
No.
Let me come in.
Alper, suppose I had a chance to think
and sleep...
OK. We'll just sleep. That's all.
OK. But we just sleep.
OK.
Oh, baby! Oh!
- Alper, wait a sec...
- Quiet! Quiet!
Alper, what are you doing?
I'm sorry.
Will you look at me?
I am.
No. Look properly.
Feel my hand...
Feel that I'm touching you.
Right on your forehead are the
lines of my hand...
Can you feel them?
Open your eyes... Look at me.
What can you see?
You.
Yes... But you ought to see a load of
things along with me.
How do you mean?
My face should change.
It should become everything you love...
Otherwise it's a no-no...
Keep looking... I should be more than
just me now...
When you look at me it's like you should
capture a moment from your own life.
There should be a story...
That moment, I should be everyone you
love... And everything...
Hold my hand.
Can you tell which is your hand now?
They should become mixed up.
You should
mix them up.
I should become you, and you me...
You should get confused...
As though you re
making love to yourself...
- Ada... This is so beautiful...
- Yes...
Ada... My love...
Shhh...
Ada... I love you...
I know.
Ada... Ada...
Hey, don't look. I'm embarrassed.
OK... But I can't help it...
I want to say something...
You're very beautiful.
If you say so... OK.
I want to say something. I hardly know
anything about you.
Don't get me to talk about myself, will
you? I'm a straightforward guy.
What I mean is, I am what you see.
No more.
I bet there is more.
If there is, I don't know about it. I
want to just lie here quietly now.
All right.
Ada... It was beautiful...
But... It's
beautiful now as well.
Good morning!
- What is that?
- Breakfast.
The cupboards are completely bare!
This is all I could find.
There weren't any roses so
I made do with the flowerpot.
The bread was stale too. I toasted it
in the frying pan.
The shades?
To look cool. I'm ugly in the morning.
But let me tell you something.
This isn't going to fill me up.
I want a decent Sunday breakfast.
Bear it in mind.
Come here for a bit. You cute thing.
- Umm... Does my breath smell?
- No! Mine?
Of strawberries.
You're not ugly in the morning.
Not at all.
Hold on. I want to look at you a bit.
OK.
You have a face with a story.
How do you mean?
You almost have no forehead. It's like
your hair couldn't wait and grew in a
big rush... So you always
seem to be running...
Your eyes are completely the
opposite.
They tell you to stop for a bit...
To walk one step at a time...
And they really look a lot... I mean,
how can I put it?
They look really
deeply. And you know that.
Which is why you can't look
at anyone for a long time.
Your beard, it's like honey...
And it's kind of in-between the two.
It's like, Hey, don't be so serious.
We're having a good time here.
Plus you have such a mature and
well-structured face...
...it's like you were never a child.
You were never a child, so you've
always stayed a child...
What's the story called?
I don't know. Something blue or
green... Blue Frenzy...
Drop the frenzy.
Just stick to the blue.
Is this it? I've been here before.
So you didn't notice me...
Hah! Stop there. There you go. I don't
look at customers with those eyes.
In fact, you're the first...
Hmm. I see.
You want to see the kitchen first? We
can make breakfast together.
Sure.
Good morning, guys.
Guys... Meet Ada... Ada... The guys.
Hello... Welcome.
Hi. Take it easy, everyone.
We're going to get ourselves some
breakfast over there...
...without getting in
anyone's way.
Ada, meet enol. enol's our head
waiter... Ada.
Nice to meet you.
- Do you need anything, Alper Bey?
- No thanks, enol.
- Omelettes. What do you want in yours?
- Everything.
OK. An everything omelette.
Right away.
Ladies. Let's get back to work.
OK, we've had a look.
It's all over.
Feel free to ask anything you like
about the kitchen.
The recipe for carrot
and cinnamon cake?
Of course! You're right.
Wait. Its turn will come.
I'm hardly going anywhere.
How come you stay so thin
when you eat so much?
I burn it off.
It's just the way I'm built.
How did you learn to cook?
When I was at primary school... We only
kept the kitchen range alight during...
...the day... Because it was warm I
always did my homework in there.
My mother was so enthusiastic about
cooking, it was fun to watch.
Oh, by the way, my mother's coming to
stay from Tarsus. Where's your family?
Bursa... I've really neglected
them actually.
I reckon I should go and see
them at some point.
What is it you like about
second-hand books?
That they have a past, a history... I
love finding clues about other people.
Notes, phone numbers, odd mementoes
slipped between the pages and then...
...forgotten. Their stories... I love
thinking about who they belonged to...
I make up new lives in my head, in my
dreams...
I sometimes find those things in the
records I buy.
So what do you do?
I don't know. I'm more interested in
the songs really.
It was my friends in the student house
I shared at university...
...who opened my eyes... They
said I should open a restaurant...
I kind of liked the idea. So I got my
father - he's dead now -
...to sell a couple of fields
and then opened this place.
He really had a soft spot for me,
bless him.
He was confident I wouldn't go
under.
You know one of my happiest
moments ever?
Before he died, he came
to Istanbul and had something...
...to eat at the restaurant...
He looked and said,
Well done. It really
was worth me selling up.
Are you crying?
Nothing. It just moved me
a bit I guess...
So why don't you have any
friends?
Why? I do actually. I don't know.
I don't feel a huge need.
I like being alone, I suppose.
Or is it me that's difficult or what?
God, I don't know.
Everything's changing, Ada.
Everything... Everything I know,
everything familiar looks different...
Smells are changing...
Sounds and
voices are different...
All since I met you...
How can I say?
There's joy
everywhere, like a holiday morning.
Wow! That was good... You're really
moving ahead with the stories, Alper.
Alper, I want to say something.
Yes?
I... Whatever, it's nothing.
Hello.
Are you at home?
Are you available?
What's going on? God! Don't tell me
you're out on a run...
Come in. Come on...
I've even poured you a vodka.
We leave
our shoes outside, right?
You haven't called for ages.
I was all set to give
you a hard time, believe me...
Alper...
What's the matter? Did you get up?
Hmm. I had some water.
And a cigarette.
Alper, you smoke too much.
Come on, Alper... Time to wake up.
Alper!
Come on!
Your mother will be here in
two hours. Get up.
Good morning.
I've tidied the place up a bit. But you
have a look around too.
There's nothing that'll shock
the poor woman, is there?
Like what?
Magazines or whatever.
Boys stuff.
Things left over from your
bachelor days.
- What's the matter?
- Nothing.
I was only joking...
Why are you looking
at me like that?
We're not about to get married.
Don't worry.
Ada, don't be ridiculous. It's not
that.
Aren't you behind the times...
You think magazines are still a
concept?
Alper... Do you really want me to come?
Yes. What's the problem?
Maybe the woman wants to see
you first, to catch up with you.
And I'll suddenly turn up just
like that, as soon as she arrives...
You'll turn up later anyway.
What's the difference, now or later?
I don't have to turn up at all
if you don't want.
Why are
you so stressed out this morning?
Who, me? I should be asking you the
same thing.
Look, there isn't a problem.
Come along.
You'll get to meet each other.
I have to go to work at noon anyway.
Then she won't be
by herself at home either.
OK, no problem. I'll give Sinem a call.
She can take care of the store.
Sorry. I forgot about that.
Let me remind you. I have a job too.
Or is it that you don't
want me working?
- Ada...
- What?
Mum!
Ah! My son!
Are you tired?
No, son. How could I be?
I've been sitting all the way.
The seats in these new buses
are like living room armchairs.
- You have any bags to collect?
- Have a look for these.
Mum. Give that here.
Come with me.
Look, Mum. This is Ada. My friend.
Introduce yourselves.
I'll be right back.
Hello there. How are you?
I'm very well, dear. I hope everyone's
as polite to you as you are to me!
Well, aren't you pretty, darling.
Mashallah! Mashallah!
Your name's Ada,
is it? What a lovely name.
Thanks. You're very beautiful too.
But I've got so old now.
You're Alper's friend, huh? What kind of
friend? A good friend?
Mashallah! That's lovely.
Are you hungry?
We'll have breakfast now.
Then you can have
some sleep.
In Alper's apartment? I'll have a sleep
of course but aren't you there too?
I mean, living as friends. Right? I don't
know, sorry. That's why I'm asking.
Let's say I come and go sometimes.
Oh, good. Come all the time, dear.
All the time.
You ve come
loaded to the gunnels again.
Don't shake it about like that, son.
There are dolma inside.
Oh, Mum! Come on, let's go.
Mzeyyen Hanim, are you comfortable
there? I wish you'd come in the front.
I'm very comfortable, dear. The car's
vast inside.
But do stop calling me 'hanim'.
Forget all this formal business.
- Just call me Mzeyyen Abla.
- OK.
So, Mum... Let's hear it then.
What can I tell you, son? Things are
always the same back home.
Your brother
and his lot all send you their love.
Come and see the boy one day. Has he
grown! But let's hear about you.
How are you?
You're the one with the news.
I'm fine. No change.
Well, that's good.
Give those to me, son... Let me put
them in the fridge right away...
What a lovely home you have.
Mashallah!
It's just like the
advertisements...
I said I wasn't tired, but I'm beginning
to feel a bit the worse for wear.
Have a little rest if you like while
I get breakfast together.
- No, dear. Thanks.
- It's up to you.
Where shall I put it?
Ooh! You have two fridges, son!
Mashallah!
Which one should I use,
I wonder?
Whichever one you want, Mum.
This is your bag, right?
With the clothes beside.
Let me take them to
your room.
Don't get too much out, dear.
They fed us on the bus anyway.
A glass of tea
will do me fine.
I'll put some on to brew right away.
Wonderful! I can't stand those tea-bag
things you get.
Leave that. I'll do it all.
Look, there's pure olive oil in here.
A friend brought it.
We'll pour it over
some dried mint and oregano.
It's perfect for dunking bread.
Where does he keep his herbs?
They should be there.
So when's this wedding, Mum?
Tomorrow evening at eight. In ili,
they said. Wait.
The invitation's in my bag. The address
is written there. Have a look.
So OK, Mum.
The place is easy to get to.
You are coming, aren't you, son?
No, Mum. What do I want at a wedding?
You know how claustrophobic those
things make me.
Ah! But that's shameful, son.
Your friend from primary school...
OK. We'll see... I've also got a large
group to cook for tomorrow evening.
You have to work, huh?
Couldn't you at least make an
appearance for five minutes or so?
The thing is, it's a very big group...
Well, if there's work to do, that's
different of course.
Suppose we go together?
If you'd like to.
Bless you. That's wonderful.
Now I won't be on my own there.
Hmm. That's great.
Look. I'll take you there.
Then I'll come and pick you up
later.
I'll pin some gold on the bride and
groom and offer my congratulations.
Thanks.
You're going to wear this?
No way. You can't.
It's a perfectly
good dress.
- Mum, it's so old-fashioned.
- Alper.
Let's get you something nicer here.
I'm not the bride, son!
I'm hardly in any state to wear
a ball gown at this age.
Listen. I'm going to work now. You and
Ada take yourselves off to the shops.
Ada's an expert at these things.
Buy a dress, have a wander around.
And get me
a gold coin to give. OK?
Don't go wasting your money, son.
What do I need a dress for?
You do, come on.
Be beautiful, Mzeyyen Hanim!
Everyone should marvel at you!
He's making fun of me
now.
I'll come and pick you up this
evening. And we'll go out for dinner.
OK? I've got heaps to do today.
All right. Take it easy, son. Have a
good day.
We can have dinner at your
place, right?
I'd like to see it again.
OK, Mum. Sure. Ada, come here a sec.
Look, sorry, Ada.
It's OK. At the end of the day,
it's not me who's getting married.
Ada!
What? Alper, you're rushing straight
off to work.
Couldn't you have stayed?
Isn't that
being shameful to the woman?
She'd only get fed up with me. She'd
find all these jobs to do in the house.
She'd clean the place 50 times,
she'd cook, I know her.
I'll make up for it
this evening.
All right then.
- Get something for yourself too.
- Sure.
Really, I'm serious.
Don't be ridiculous, Alper.
Go on. Off you go. OK.
Oooh! Look at that! How on earth did
they build this place?
Mashallah! You said there's
everything here, didn't you?
Shops, restaurants, cinemas, they stick
them all together...
...in one place these days.
So as not to tire people out, huh?
You come here, get everything done
all at once and go.
That kind of thing... Like an aquarium.
Heavens, it's so crowded! Give me your
arm or I'll get lost.
I don't want to
be trouble for you later.
Don't say that, Mzeyyen Abla!
There's even a jeweller's, you said, huh?
I'm flabbergasted!
Let's get the gold from there, then
have a nice cup of coffee.
Bravo! That's just what's needed. Let s
treat ourselves, right?
Now we're in
Istanbul...
Oh, you lovely girl...
Thanks. Oh!
Yours is big enough to feed
a whole family of orphans! Mashallah!
Sit down and let's have a little chat,
shall we?
I'm not going to beat about the bush.
And don't go getting embarrassed
in front of me.
Think of me as your
mother. Do you love my son?
Oh, my beautiful!
We've only just met really.
It's been a month or so.
My darling! Knowing that in my old age,
I won't worry even if I drop dead!
In all this time, you're the only one he's
valued enough to introduce to me.
He's always been completely alone here.
How can I explain, dear?
Alper is a bit different really.
Strong and silent.
He never shows his affections, never
talks, never airs his troubles.
Then there are times when
he's downright rude...
He's been like that since
he was a small boy.
He never liked crowds. He always
wanted to sit in his room.
What do they say? Human
nature, that's it.
Some people are like
a closed book all the time.
What I'm saying is... Don't be
defeated, dear.
Don't turn round half way. Look,
in all these years...
...he hasn't once kissed me on the
cheek just like that, out of the blue.
I know he loves me. I know it.
Know that for yourself too.
Friendships, or what do you call
it? Dating?
Whatever. It's hard of course. Work at it,
dear. Don't leave him.
These places, big places,
they always fool you.
In all the hullaballoo people
don't realise they're alone.
Be a voice...
A breath of life beside him.
Does it fill up like this every
evening?
At this time, it generally does.
It's not even particularly full.
Weekends get very crowded.
Mashallah!
That's too much for me, son. They serve
everything for giants in Istanbul.
The poor boy's been rushing around
like mad since morning.
He must be tired.
Would you like anything else?
No thanks, son. That'll do me. Sit down
and rest, darling.
Alper, we had a great day out, your
mother and I.
Didn't we, Mzeyyen Abla?
She did a great job taking
me around.
We went to Ortaky. I bought
heaps of beads...
For the
girls, your nieces.
Great.
From there we went home and dropped off
the packages.
Then off we set again,
for Ada's store.
I adored those costumes. Don't ask!
It makes you feel...
...like a child all over again.
Look what Ada gave me.
For Murat.
He won't just be thrilled, the rascal.
He'll adore it!
- Thanks, Ada.
- Well, I hope he enjoys it.
You know what made me laugh
most today? They've put exercise...
...machines in those parks. So you see
these enormous women on them...
...grabbing the handles and puffing away
as though they're running. Like this...
- Oh no! Oh goodness!
- Leave it. The guys will handle it.
Has it spilled on you?
Mum, leave it. enol will handle it.
Mum... MUM!
Alper!
It's no problem at all. I'll take care
of it right away.
This sort of thing happens all
the time here.
I've given you all this trouble...
Let's take a ferry tomorrow. In the
daytime.
We can see something of the
Bosphorus.
You haven't mentioned the
most important thing.
The shopping mall. Alper, we got your
mother a beautiful suit today.
Like I said, my family's in Bursa,
Mzeyyen Abla.
Have you ever been to
Bursa?
I haven't had the chance, darling. It's
a beautiful place.
That's what I always hear. I've driven
through a few times but...
- I'll take you one day.
- God willing...
There's always traffic like this, even
at this time of day. You're so lucky.
You get peace and quiet in a
place like Tarsus.
This city's almost
uninhabitable these days.
You should see Tarsus then.
You'd love it.
Look, even if Alper can't make it,
you come.
I'll be expecting you any
time.
Mum, let's drop Ada home first.
And when we get home you can go
straight to bed.
You must be tired after today,
both of you...
Ada, I'll come and pick you up in the
morning again around nine or ten. OK?
- OK.
- For breakfast.
Oh goodness, I've spoiled your routine.
Shame on you, Mzeyyen Abla.
Don't think that!
I go home all the time
anyway.
I could have curled up and slept
anywhere, son.
It's OK, Mum. It's not a problem.
Ah! Mum, I'm making up the bed for you.
What are you doing?
I won't sleep in it, son. I'm fine
here. It's plenty big enough.
I can't turf you out of your own bed.
It's light here too. Look. Much nicer.
How's my brother? My nephews and
nieces?
They're all fine.
I miss them a lot.
I know you do. Why wouldn't you?
Mum...
Darling?
It's so hard, Mum...
What's hard, darling?
We're proud of you, son.
You've got yourself established here
without help from anyone else...
Mum...
Yes, darling?
It's hard, Mum... So hard.
What's hard, darling?
Have we had a bit to drink?
A bit.
So did you buy the flowers before
drinking or after?
What does it matter?
A lot.
First I decided to buy them, then I had
a drink, then I bought them.
I drank in my room. Fast. In a blue
frenzy. Mum's asleep at home.
I came to give you the
flowers.
I went all the way to the Flower Passage
thinking there wouldn't be...
...any florists open at this time. I
got them from you know, the kids there.
I want to say sorry, give you a kiss
and go.
If Mum wakes up at home, she'll
get scared being on her own.
I love you.
But if you'd been sober, I
wouldn't have been able to say that.
Now go. Quick.
Mum! It's us! We're back!
We're going to take a gypsy boat
today.
What's that, dear?
You get on at Bebek. And you wander
up and down the entire coast.
I mean, it's something
like a Bosphorus cruise.
Alper...
Erdem...
How are you doing? Welcome.
- Wow.
- What are you up to?
Fine... I brought you the
wedding witness.
Mzeyyen Abla, hello! How are you?
Congratulations.
I'm not going to
be able to stay.
I have a function on at the restaurant
tonight. A large group.
Well, business, you know.
Do you pin it here?
- Let me give this to you.
- Whatever. OK.
- I wish you happiness.
- I wish you'd stay.
I'd have really loved to.
I have a lot of guests. I must go.
Do you Nalan Hanim, Erdem Bey,
as your partner in marriage?
- I do.
- Applause.
Do you Erdem Bey, accept Nalan
Hanim, as your partner in marriage?
- I do.
- Bravo!
I hope it's your turn next, dear.
Look after Ada. Don't hurt her...
Don't ever think of leaving her.
Ada is the most precious gift God has
given you all your life.
Remember that... That's
all I have to say.
I'm hungry... Remember that pot of
dolma we finished the other day?
Your mum went to the trouble of making
more the other morning...
...before we went on the
boat trip, you know.
She said, I've
put them in the small fridge.
You want some too? Well, don't if you
ask me. Let me eat the lot.
Ask for some if you like. If I eat them
all, I'll probably wind up in hospital.
It happened a few times
when I was little.
My aunt made a potful like this
and put it away in the fridge.
My Mum and my
aunts were all asleep...
Having a midday nap...
The heat! It was summer anyway.
I came back from playing...
In the street.
I sat down and polished off
the lot. With bread and stuff as well.
I mean, I couldn't stop myself... Then
I got this incredible stomach ache.
- The pain was killing me...
- Ada... I want to break up.
I'm thinking why I'm not in the
slightest bit surprised. Huh?
I knew actually.
I mean, I tried to scare you but
I imagine it was a waste of time.
But why do people cry so much over
things they already know. Right?
Well, OK. I won't cry.
Why did you run after me then so
persistently? Huh?
Why? You knew it wouldn't work, you
knew you couldn't do it. So why?
WHY???
Fuck you! Fuck you!
Who did I kiss here just a minute ago?
WHY???
Don't be ridiculous. I'm not about
to hit you. Are you out of your mind?
There's just one thing you should know.
I... I don't deserve you, Ada.
I never have deserved you.
Maybe you feel bad now but when you
find the right person in life...
...you'll thank me.
Can't one of you come up with something
different?!
Which film is that from...
Is it the Red Crescent that feeds you
these son-of-a-bitch lines from 1980s
American teen films? To come to the
rescue at tough moments like these.
I was being quite sincere.
Ada... I've
experienced a lot of things.
I've wasted a lot of things...
Myself... Life... Everything...
I'll never get
over it now.
I'm living with
contaminated blood.
I don't want to be
a part of anyone's life...
I don't want anyone to be a part of
mine...
That's the way I am, the way
I was born. There's no reason.
Don't look for one. If only there was a
reason, if only I knew it and could...
...change things...
You were
the most beautiful thing in my life.
Remember that...
If it's any help to you at all...
Yes. It really helps. Thanks.
I want to say something and then I'll
go.
You're in snow, about to freeze to
death.
Sleep seems so sweet but you
don't realise you've died.
enol!
Happy birthday to you... Happy birthday
to you... Happy Birthday dear boss...
Happy Birthday to you...
- Alper Bey...
- Come here, enol.
If it's OK with you, I'd like to have a
glass of wine with you this evening.
Wow! Nice surprise. What's the
occasion? At last!
Tonight is different. Because it's a
special evening for me.
So fill them up then! What's with the
thimbleful? Look how stingy you are!
You've made me a rich man like that...
Shame on you, Abi! That's not the
reason. You know I don't drink a lot.
Sorry, I called you Abi,
there all of a sudden.
Of course you did. Anyway, I have my
suspicions.
You have some blue English
blood in you, right?
The truth will out soon enough...
So what are we celebrating?
Gamze is pregnant. We're
going to have a baby.
Wow! My little father! My man! I'm
really happy for you, enol.
Thanks. Thanks, Abi.
Hey, hang on a second.
I'm being an idiot here.
What does that make me
then? An Amca?
Yes... Alper Amca.
God, it feels like only yesterday. I'd
just opened this place.
You walked in and said you'd come
about the job ad...
...and could you speak
to the boss please.
When I said I was the boss,
you didn't believe me and...
...looked at me in that
English way of yours.
Umm, Alper Abi... I want to thank you
very much for everything.
On behalf of
everyone here...
You've been very good
to us, very generous...
We owe you a
lot. I want you to know that.
Oh God! Come on! Don't be ridiculous.
Of all wines, you had to open this one
tonight, huh?
Look at the news, look at the wine.
You'd expect a Bordeaux or
something.
Stingy...
What's this here? What's this?
Vrrrmmm... It's coming... We're flying!
We're flying!
Alper Amca, we're going to the cinema,
aren't we?
Are you kidding, handsome young man?
Ice Age, right?
Ice Age... How many
Ice Ages is this now?
Hmm... A year younger than you.
Hello! My name's Bobo. After breakfast
I'll be yours.
What's your name?
Mithatcan!
Come on, Mithatcan.
- Ice Age.
- Yes, Ice Age.
Look, we got the tickets earlier on.
You'll give them to collector.
- OK?
- Fine.
Good. Smart thing.
We'll be inside.
Dad! Dad! Isn't Alper Amca coming?
Alper Amca... Alper Amca!
He'll be along, son. In a bit.
Hi there, Alper. How are you?
Hello... Ada... It's kind of a
surprise, this...
Oh God.
I called you
a few times.
Your numbers have changed
of course...
I moved to England... Got married.
Really?
I'm very happy for you...
Your husband?
Hakan... He works for a company there.
I've kept on my business...
We opened another store there...
That's how things look now.
That was enol's son presumably.
Right?
He's cute... Mashallah...
Look. This is my daughter... Elif...
She's three.
What a sweetie! She's lovely.
- Bless her!
- Thanks...
I grabbed the chance to come
over while I could.
Both to go see my parents in Bursa,
and catch up with Sinem.
I go back tomorrow
morning.
I left Elif there with her father
and au pair...
We might come back at New Year,
all of us together.
I'd say come and have a coffee with us
but I guess you're going to the cinema.
How are you? How's everything going?
Have you still got the restaurant
and stuff?
I'm fine... Very good.
Everything's on track.
I'm not fine at all, Ada. I've never
forgotten you...
I never thought this
would happen. I'm nothing.
Everything's a pile of shit.
Are you really over it
or are you getting revenge?
You're smiling... Is it real?
I never thought it would be like this.
Right after we
split up I felt light as a bird...
I thought I'd done both you and me a
favour...
Until the smallest thing
messed me up completely...
That day, a miniscule hairclip of yours
laughed at me.
It was that morning that
I realised I'd lost you...
...and so many other things. You'd never
be there again...
I'd never have this with
anyone else...
Life kept laughing at me.
I saw similar faces to yours...
...felt similar smells...
...heard similar voices.
Or I felt so.
I don't know.
You know what? That tiny
hairclip you lost one day...
...but never knew where...
It's still in my pocket.
I'm fine. Really good.
They turned your store
into an estate agent's.
Right. Sinem said.
I walked past there the other day...
I had things to do over that way.
No, Ada. That was a lie... I sometimes
go to have a look at that street.
And I imagine everything is like it once
was. I just stand there.
I imagine you're sitting inside and
still creating little heroes...
I delude myself... I try to console
myself, Ada.
How's your mother? Is she OK?
She's fine... The same as ever...
Raising the grandkids. She comes to
visit now and again. I go down there
sometimes. That kind of thing...
I miss Mzeyyen Abla. Really... I was
supposed to go and visit her.
But it was never meant to happen,
I guess.
It was right after you I went to see
her. To the house you were born in.
To the town you spent your childhood in,
my love.
I took a short trip with your
mother, into your past...
I made her vow never to tell you...
Good for her.
She's kept her word.
I saw the house you grew up in...
The bed you slept in, my love. I
imagined you and your childhood...
You were there and you didn't yet know
you'd meet me one day.
You lay across my lap. I told you a
story... You grew up...
A story in my head...
You know how I loved that...
Then I wrote us a happy ending...
I sat with you in that
house... We said nothing.
You sat beside me in silence. That
was the end. It was another life.
It was just you and me.
You looked at me...
Blue and unfrenzied. We said
nothing.
Another happy ending in another life...
We deserved that... Our story is there
somewhere.
It'll stay with me forever. Because that
was the only way I could go on.
So a person's smell always stays the
same... I was surprised.
I took something of yours away with me.
A 45 single. Arda Karde's Fairytales.
If you go back home one day, you'll
never know how that record went
missing.
And Mzeyyen Abla won't tell you.
We won't let you have that
satisfaction.
I still got your record.
But you don't know it...
And when I close my eyes,
it's you I have in my arms...
...not anyone else...
And you don't know it.
Oh God. It's seven.
Yes. The 7 o'clock showing's started.
Hurry or you'll be late.
No, I'm not going in.
It's a kids film.
I'd get bored. I have other plans
anyway.
They're more tempting, I guess.
Hmmm. So there's someone waiting, huh?
There is actually. Yes.
Great. I'm glad about that.
No... There's no one out there. I was
lying.
I know, my love. There's no one.
There never will be.
You'll just borrow other people's
kids, lives and bodies.
To be returned later...
And you'll always be alone.
Well, if you'll excuse me then...
Goodbye... Take care.
You too.
Oh, by the way, you were going to give
me the recipe...
...for carrot and cinnamon cake.
Oh right. Damn!
I found the recipe. In a cookbook. I
made it. We enjoyed eating it...
It wasn't as good as yours, of course.
But it will be. I mean, there's hope.
I'm determined. I'm going to crack it.
Congratulations in advance.
Goodbye. Take care.
Goodbye.
I wish time would stop. That you'd be
sitting there forever looking at me
just so. I wish we could stay like
this... That it would never end...
I'd like so much to be able to tell you
this... There are so many things...
...in fact, that I haven't
been able to tell you... Anyway...
Goodbye, Ada...
Goodbye, my love...
You'd never have believed
in fate either
And you were supposed to be someone
Who could never cause hurt or be
heartless
I wish you happiness, my love
May life smile on you even if I am not
there
On your head be it
You leave behind a pair of crying eyes
Dedicated to its audience
