Celal is an unhappy man, living with his wife and son. He lives in a small town, running an electrician shop with his brother. He is not in love with his wife and he is very critical of his son. On the other hand, he is in love with a singer but his love is only one way. His job is not going well and he is really low in cash and needs a lot of money to pay his debts. His wife Sevilay is also an unhappy woman and her only happy times are when Celal shows her a bit of love. She is so desperate to gain Celal's attention and love. However, financially she is well-off as her father in Germany sends her cash every month and she saves her money in the basement without Celal's awareness(that's what she thinks of course).
Before the film released, my expectations was sky high due to the fact that the movie has a great cast. To be quite honest, cast delivers a perfect job from a to z. All actors fit into their roles and does not look ridiculous. Maybe only problem would be that their faces are so familiar as they became famous with TV shows. You see Burhan Altintop sometimes for example.
Screenplay is quite good as well but I believe that it could have been perfect to play on Sevilay a bit more and make her scary more rather than desperate especially when she returns. That would have made the film a big hit at least for me and I believe most people thinks the same. People wanted to see Sevilay take her revenge on Celal after what he did to her. This would have been big fun to see.
Overall, the film is good, as far as I remember there is no other examples in Turkish cinema as subject matter. As the title says it could have been a great hit but with what it is still worth watching.
