Plot
Two friends originally from Izmir-Eşrefpaşa have settled in Istanbul… While Tayyar (Hüseyin Soysalan) has become a mafia leader based on his passion for power and ruling, Davut (Turgay Tanülkü) has been managing a café in his small neighbourhood. Both have loved the same woman, Madam Eleni (Sermin Hürmeriç).
Sinekatalog’s take
A nostalgic comedy-drama about two old friends who ended up on opposite sides of life, with an old love between them. The feeling is warm but the writing is loose. Mainly for those fond of neighbourhood stories from Izmir.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
