Ne pleure pasPlayed by Tülay German. This is the best movie I have seen lately. It is perfect in every way. For me, the acting and story construction are fantastic. The story is simple, but it is a complex film with many layers. In the foreground, there are many events and characters. In the background, the charming Istanbul, but expressed very subtly. Most of the story takes place in the alleys of the Beyoglu district, where difficult lives are intertwined with human warmth and friendships. Underneath all this, there is a layer with all kinds of emotions that grab you from the beginning of the film until the end. And all those emotions stay with you long after the film. Please go and see it!
