Nesibe lives with her parents on the outskirts of Istanbul; the family is poor, and her consistently unemployed father often takes out his frustration on the rest of the family. Nesibe knows that there has to be something more to life, and she finds it—at the movies.
Adapted by Füruzan from her groundbreaking short story, this melancholic, beautiful melodrama recalls the growing pains of a film buff on the outskirts of Istanbul. As memories merge with scenes from dozens of Hollywood romances, the gap between harsh reality and dreams becomes heartbreaking.
