Sibel is a young woman struggling against the demands of her strict Turkish father and brother. She just wants to be free to drink and dance and make love, and the only way she can escape is to marry a Turkish man. Cahit, with a hangover from hell, is very surprised when he receives a proposal of marriage from this beautiful, crazy girl he has just met in hospital. The biggest surprise of all however, is the turnaround that occurs in both their lives as Cahit and Sibel come back to their roots, a lost culture, and themselves.

Powerful Drama.
