A tragic love story.

The story is about the soul-searching of those people leading small lives, searching for little happiness, only to fall into big predicaments. Based upon the logic of "winning-and-losing", these soul-searchings are directed towards their loved ones, towards life in general but, most importantly, towards themselves. Needless to say, as usual, it is a woman who suffers most within these patriarchal soul-searchings. (imdb)

Story begins a rather psychologically tormenting scene depicting the daily routine of husband Yusuf and wife Süsen. Both drunk and high, they enter their dingy house on the economically lower side of İzmir as they shout at the top of their lungs. She tells him Zahit will come back from the mountains and kill Yusuf, and Yusuf curses her and her brother. The banter continues with all the love-hate dynamics that a married couple can possibly muster and ends with passionate love-making. (Today's Zaman)
