00:00Oh, look at you, sweet little baby girl.
00:02Goochie, goochie.
00:03You're my sweet little baby, aren't you?
00:05I love you.
00:08My baby.
00:14Sweetheart.
00:16My memories are slipping away.
00:19I don't want to forget the ones I love.
00:22I don't want to forget the ones I'm angry at.
00:25The ones I hurt.
00:26I don't want to forget the pain.
00:28I want to remember everything.
00:31But they want to forget you.
00:34So, my sweet little girl, we belong together now.
00:38And we're going to start a new life together, you and me, far away from everyone.
00:49Of course, my childhood was perfect.
00:51My father and mother were so in love with each other.
00:54We had a beautiful house.
00:59My mom loved to travel.
01:02We had so much fun together.
01:06And I had a great relationship with my father, too.
01:10He used to call me his little Rose.
01:12I was happy to find out I was pregnant with you.
01:17I really was.
01:18But your father didn't want to keep you.
01:20And I didn't want to get an abortion.
01:23Because I could feel someone growing inside me who would love me forever.
01:28I thought I was strong enough to take on the whole world.
01:31I thought I could keep you by my side.
01:36I wasn't strong enough.
01:38They didn't let me keep you.
01:44You know the rest of the story.
01:46Why come to me?
01:47You denied it before.
01:49Why accept me back into your life now?
01:51I'm not the one who needs to accept this.
01:56I'm asking you to accept me.
01:59I want to be your mother, Elif.
02:04Who's my dad?
02:06Who is he?
02:08Was he a boy from your school or someone else?
02:11Just give me a little more time.
02:14I'll tell you the whole story.
02:15You really want more time?
02:17How much more do you need?
02:18Because you've had 20 years to remember your daughter.
02:32Have some water.
02:33Have some water.
02:48Don't give up.
02:57Maybe I should go.
02:59She watched as her mother, bit by bit, forgot who she was.
03:04She's not just angry at you.
03:06She's angry at the world.
03:10Yesterday you were just a possibility to her.
03:13But now you're here.
03:14You're real.
03:15Don't disappear.
03:37You've been waiting 20 years.
03:40I'll wait for you.
03:41I want to believe you're my mom.
04:07I do.
04:09That's all I have to hold on to.
04:40You know, our house had a view of the ocean,
04:45but I never really looked at it.
04:47Here we are.
04:59What are you doing?
05:04You're not serious.
05:06I am?
05:10Come on.
05:20Come on.
05:22Come on.
05:23Come on.
05:24Come on.
05:25Come on.
05:26Come on.
05:27Come on.
05:28Come on.
05:29Come on.
05:30Come on.
05:31Come on.
05:32Come on.
05:38I'm sorry.
05:39Come on.
05:40Come on.
05:41I'm sorry.
05:43Mert!
05:48Mert!
05:51What are you doing?
06:12I need to be too?
06:14I'm gonna be pretty mad if you throw better than me.
06:25Not bad at all.
06:42My mother is my mother.
07:12We'll take two rooms.
07:15Uh, two rooms, please.
07:39This is our first photo of you.
07:41It belongs here.
07:43When we returned from the village, this wall was empty.
07:50I thought I'd feel relieved after finding my real mother.
07:54I didn't know how hard it would be emotionally.
07:56It takes time, Elif, like everything does.
07:58And that includes love, my dear.
08:01Collecting these pictures takes time, too.
08:04I know it's hard for you.
08:06But it's not easy for her, either.
08:08What is a mother?
08:09What is a mother?
08:10How does one speak?
08:11How does she eat?
08:12It's impossible for her to know.
08:14Yeah, but I don't know anything, either.
08:15And you never will if you stay cooped up in the house.
08:18You need to spend some time together.
08:27I wanted to give you everything.
08:29Instead, I'm leaving you with nothing.
08:32Stay true to who you are.
08:34Do what's right.
08:35You have a good heart, son.
08:36Follow it.
08:37It hurts me to leave you.
08:40No father should ever do this to his child.
08:45I shouldn't be leaving you alone.
08:47The concert tickets are sold out.
09:02There's nothing left.
09:03Bummer.
09:04Nothing.
09:05Don't worry.
09:06I'll tell my dad.
09:07He'll get us in.
09:08I'll tell my dad he'll get us in.
09:09Oh, my God.
09:10You're amazing.
09:11Thanks.
09:12So, we're all gonna go together?
09:14Yep.
09:16No, no.
09:17I'm good.
09:18It's cool.
09:19Why not?
09:20Are you training?
09:21Man, what am I supposed to do at a concert with your dad's chauffeur?
09:22Oh, my God.
09:23You'll just have to sit next to me.
09:25I'll hold your hand.
09:28It's possible.
09:29I'll have to think about it.
09:32I'll think about it.
09:34That's it.
09:35Whoa.
09:36Who threw that?
09:37Zuhal.
09:38Zuhal.
09:39Move.
09:40What's she doing?
09:41Zuhal.
09:42Hey, Zuhal.
09:43Zuhal.
09:44Who threw the ball?
09:45Let it go.
09:47Who threw this, huh?
09:48Can you throw our ball back?
09:49Hey, did you throw it?
09:50Answer me.
09:51I should go look.
09:52Murek, no.
09:53Don't get involved.
09:55She's really overreacting.
09:57Yeah, seriously.
09:58Hey, Zuhal.
09:59Was it you or him?
10:00You want me to keep it?
10:01Is that what you want?
10:02It won't happen again.
10:03Hey, Zuhal.
10:04What is Zuhal?
10:05What?
10:06They're kids.
10:07They said they were sorry.
10:08Move.
10:09Out of my way.
10:10Move.
10:11The kids said they were sorry.
10:12What do you want?
10:13And?
10:14Why would you care?
10:15Are you their father?
10:16You just don't get it.
10:17You'll see when you have your own kids.
10:32I don't know what I know.
10:33I want you to go.
10:34I'll go for it.
10:35I'm gonna go for it.
10:36Go for it, Laura.
10:37Right away.
10:38Excuse me.
11:05Sorry to bother you.
11:06Would you mind taking our picture?
11:08Of course.
11:08Can I please take the picture, Mom?
11:10Sure you can, sweetheart.
11:11Come on.
11:14Take a few, okay?
11:20What a pro.
11:22Pound it.
11:23Thanks so much.
11:25You're welcome.
11:26Have a great night.
11:36Delete it.
11:37No.
11:38One more.
11:41One more.
11:41One more.
11:43One more.
11:44One more.
11:44One more.
11:56One more.
11:56One more.
11:57Okay, let's go.
12:27Uh, sorry.
12:57I think we'll have to disappoint the moon tonight.
13:27I think we'll have to disappoint the moon.
13:57Are you all right?
14:16Are you all right?
14:46I think we'll have to disappoint the moon.
14:48I think we'll have to disappoint the moon.
14:52I think we'll have to disappoint the moon.
14:58I think we'll have to disappoint the moon.
15:04I think we'll have to disappoint the moon.
15:10I think we'll have to disappoint the moon.
15:16I think we'll have to disappoint the moon.
15:22I think we'll have to disappoint the moon.
15:28Great.
15:29Come right on in.
15:30Great.
15:31I'll leave them on.
15:32It's fine.
15:33Come.
15:35I bought a few Simits.
15:36Do you like them?
15:37Oh, yeah.
15:38I love them.
15:39It's been ages since I've eaten one.
15:42Here.
15:43Views, uh, push the meeting to tomorrow.
15:45Uh, I don't mind coming back later if you're busy.
15:48Of course not.
15:49You are my number one priority right now.
15:51Come here.
15:58All right.
15:59So why don't you sit here and give me a few minutes and we'll go out for a nice breakfast.
16:04Or not.
16:07I'll make you breakfast.
16:10The ingredients required for making chilber.
16:13Are you ready?
16:14You are about to eat the chilber of the century.
16:17Pot of water.
16:18Let it boil.
16:19Bring a pot of water to boil.
16:21Okay, then.
16:23Pinch of salt.
16:24And a tablespoon of vinegar and let it boil.
16:28Okay.
16:29Splash of vinegar.
16:31Perfect.
16:32Swirl the boiling water with a spoon to create a whirlpool.
16:35Drop the eggs into the whirlpool.
16:37You grab one.
16:41Let the eggs cook for four to five minutes.
16:44You'll be still ready.
16:45You'll be still ready.
16:46You'll be still ready.
16:47You'll be still ready.
16:48You'll be still ready.
16:49You'll be still ready as they cook.
16:50Use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs into a plate.
16:54Oh.
16:55It looks like a jellyfish.
16:57Oh.
16:58What did we do?
16:59Start.
17:00Start.
17:01So, as you know, presentation is everything.
17:04You're doing it.
17:05You're doing it.
17:06You're doing it.
17:07Hm.
17:08Oh, no.
17:09It's terrible.
17:10Yeah, I think I should have used even more vinegar.
17:25Who is it?
17:26It's me.
17:27Murat.
17:28Hm.
17:29Say hi.
17:31Any food.
17:33There's allywyk.
17:34Am more.
17:35On the ground.
17:37Hi.
17:40Who is it?
17:41It's me.
17:43Murat.
17:44Murat.
18:06We're going back home.
18:08I don't want to raise my son here anymore.
18:11Ali will be starting school soon.
18:14And the other kids...
18:17They can be so cruel to anyone the least bit different from them.
18:22How was I supposed to tell him that his father left him growing up?
18:27Some kids don't have a dad. Others don't have a mom at home.
18:31That's what I told him.
18:33That's all he knows.
18:37Look, I'm not trying to hurt you, okay?
18:39I don't resent you.
18:41I'm not even mad at you.
18:43But I am going to protect my son.
18:49Your son...
18:50You left. You abandoned me.
18:53You said you couldn't take it and you left us.
18:56And now you want to come back?
18:58What if you can't take it again?
19:00What if you walk out on us because you're scared?
19:04I'm not going to let his heart be broken again by you.
19:12Thanks for everything.
19:14I'm sorry, really.
19:16I have a few things I need to sort out.
19:19I'm going back to Berlin.
19:31At least say something.
19:35What do you want me to say?
19:38Tell me to stay.
19:40Tell me to stay.
19:41Tell me to stay.
19:45Okay.
19:58Okay.
20:28We're blood sisters.
20:29I'm jealous.
20:30Do I get to be your brother?
20:31Yeah, yeah, of course.
20:32Here.
20:33I'm jealous.
20:34Do I get to be your brother?
20:39Yeah, yeah, of course.
20:40Here.
20:41I'm jealous.
20:42Do I get to be your brother?
20:44Yeah, yeah, of course.
20:45Here.
21:09Girls, the secret to remember about this tint is to blend right away.
21:17It sets quickly, so you need to work fast.
21:19Mr. Hall, wouldn't now be a good time for today's selfie?
21:22Let's do it.
21:22Great. Taking it now.
21:25Ready?
21:25Elif, come here.
21:27No, no.
21:28Yeah, get in here. Selfie time. Come on.
21:31That's it.
21:34Here we go.
21:35I'm blown away by the collection.
21:36ZT on three.
21:36One, two, three.
21:39ZT!
21:44Views, take Elif home. I have some work to do.
21:49You got it.
21:51Okay, we're good. Good.
21:53I'm sorry, Ms. Wall.
21:54It's fine. Don't worry.
22:03Can I help you?
22:06Well, I'm getting out of here, Zuhal. For good.
22:15I need money.
22:18You wanted to stop by the Zuhal ATM.
22:21No. Why would you say that?
22:23How much do you need?
22:34Oh, I was thinking.
22:3750,000 should do it.
22:40No.
22:41I'm gonna pay you back.
22:42Uh-huh.
22:42I'd need time to get you that much money.
22:51I can wait.
22:55If you're getting changed, I'll head out.
22:57Yeah, thanks.
22:58Thanks.
22:58Thanks.
22:58Thanks.
22:59I'll be right back.
23:29Hey.
23:31Hi.
23:33I appreciate you coming out.
23:35Of course.
23:37Um...
23:39What's wrong?
23:47There's no use hiding this from you anymore.
23:51Look, I have a family.
23:55I mean, you know my mom and dad already.
23:58But it's not them.
24:02I have another family and I've been hiding them from you.
24:18I don't know what to say.
24:20What can you say, Banu?
24:22I've...
24:24Your closest friend has a son you've never even met.
24:27He doesn't even know I'm his father because I abandoned him.
24:35And he will never know.
24:37We'll both live our lives like strangers.
24:39Maybe it's all for the best, you know?
24:43This way he'll grow up unhurt.
24:47It's not about that. Being hurt is just a part of life.
24:51What we've forgotten is how to heal.
24:53I guess I ran away from my responsibilities.
24:59Even if I wanted to, I don't know if I can take the responsibility back.
25:03I think that ship has sailed.
25:05I don't know.
25:06I don't know.
25:07I don't know.
25:08I don't know.
25:09I don't know.
25:10I don't know.
25:11I don't know.
25:12I don't know.
25:13I don't know who hurt my friend.
25:14Who would know how to hurt me better than myself?
25:15Nobody.
25:16Because I won't let them.
25:17I've only got orange juice.
25:18I hope that's okay.
25:19Yeah, no worries.
25:20Thanks so much.
25:21Oh dear miss Fatma.
25:33Feels like she's going to pop right out of the photo and start asking about my essay.

30:55You have no idea what we go through.
30:57But I can learn. I can learn if you let me.
30:59Nevra, I'm not going to mess things up this time, I promise.
31:05I will be a better father to our boy.
31:08I will.
31:13So I just bailed.
31:15You didn't say that.
31:18Anyway, I better get going.
31:21Why don't you stay here?
31:30What are you going to do at home?
31:31Stay.
31:32My people are waiting for me.
31:34What?
31:36My people are waiting.
31:40Sure, I'd like to.
31:41I'll stay if you want me to.
31:43Okay, let's bring on the likes.
32:08Today was just perfect.
32:10Come on, let's take a selfie.
32:15Get ready.
32:18Oh, it's so cute.
32:19We're gorgeous.
32:21We look really good together.
32:24Wow.
32:26Do you remember your words?
32:28My words?
32:29What do you mean?
32:30The letter you wrote.
32:33Of course I remember.
32:35How could I forget?
32:40Dear Elif, I have to leave you with Miss Fatma after you're born.
32:52And I feel awful.
32:54You look just like a tiny little bean when I first saw you.
32:57They told me you would grow inside of me.
33:00I'm scared.
33:01I'm only 17.
33:02I can't be a mother.
33:03I know you'll love Miss Fatma.
33:06She knows how to be a mother.
33:08She loved us as if we were her own children.
33:10And she'll love you too.
33:11Miss Fatma would never let anyone down.
33:14With love, your mom.
33:16Even though this letter's saying goodbye, you still wanted to find me.
33:20I wanted to know you.
33:21I'm really glad you're staying with me.
33:33So am I.
33:34So am I.
33:36Tomorrow I want to take you somewhere.
33:38And where is that?
33:40It's a surprise.
33:41It's a surprise.
33:41What's up with you?
33:57I don't think I want to deal with this, Zuhal.
34:01I mean it.
34:03All this is too much.
34:08What is too much?
34:10You're not normal.
34:11If we fool around together, I...
34:14You'll never leave me alone.
34:15Mer, don't say that.
34:17Zuhal.
