Abandoned Man (2025) Movie Script
FOR CHILDREN WITH WOUNDED SOULS
AND REPAIRERS
Fall in love for my sake too
Don't put life on hold
If you want to settle for so little
Just live your life
How many of us are there
Who defend love?
Yes.
That's it.
Brother, I saved your notes.
You idiot!
A hit-and-run? What the hell did you do?
Dad, I didn't know what to do.
It was dark and there was no one around.
You ruined yourself and us.
Atf, save him, I'm begging you.
Good evening, Atf.
Your vehicle was involved in an accident.
I know, Captain.
Good evening. I just heard.
My son
The man he hit has died.
He's coming with us.
Baran, you heard the captain. Come on.
But, Dad I didn't
Son.
It'll go by quickly.
You're a minor, son.
Your brother would be ruined,
but you'll get out in no time.
Come on, son.
Brother, they're taking me.
Come on, son.
Let's go.
ABANDONED MAN
T.C. MINISTRY OF JUSTICE
OPEN CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
15 YEARS LATER
Good luck.
Good luck, Baran.
Good luck.
Baran.
Man, I didn't recognize you
when you first came out of the gate.
Your eyes are the same though.
Wow, I almost didn't recognize
my own brother.
Lidya, this is your uncle.
- Baran, stop. Stop, for God's sake.
- Let me go, man.
Don't be so stubborn.
I'm here to take you home.
- Let go.
- Baran, please stop.
Look, I let you go once.
I'd rather die than do it again, okay?
You want me to beg at your feet?
Please give me another chance, Baran!
So you can feel better?
Not going to happen again.
I don't owe you that.
Baran, we've no one left.
Neither of us has anyone left.
It's just us now.
You're gonna give me another chance.
Dad, please get up. Get up.
I guess Uncle doesn't like us.
Man, get up.
Don't make a scene in front of the girl.
You will, Baran!
I won't! No way in hell!
Fine. Then I'll just sit here.
I'm going to stay here.
I'm not going anywhere.
Have you been drinking?
Of course.
Uncle!
Wait.
What if I begged?
Will that work?
So handsome.
Fatih, shut the door.
Fifteen years, Fatih. It's been 15 years.
We don't know him, Fatih, do we?
What are you saying? He's my brother.
I know him better than anyone else.
And he's more decent than me or you.
Been drinking again?
- Of course.
- I barely got him here.
He'll hear us. Shame on you.
- How long is he staying?
- As long as he needs to, Arzu.
They only let me eat the foam.
What?
- What foam?
- Coffee foam.
What's your favorite?
"Lacte"? Americano?
"Jortado"?
He was in there with psychos,
maniacs and God knows who else.
I have no words for you.
We're going on vacation, Arzu, dear.
We'll be on vacation anyway.
Please, let him stay here.
Just let the kid relax here for a bit.
Sure, Fatih. You're right, he should.
- To hell with us. It's all about him.
- Why do you say that?
You messed everything up, that's why.
And you still worry about his comfort.
The man is a murderer.
How old were you there?
Fourteen.
Brother, they're taking me.
Could you bend over?
Bend over.
- Why?
- Because.
A bit lower.
- But why?
- Just do it.
You're so sulky.
That's why it's hard to see.
See what?
How handsome you are.
Am I?
No girl has told you that?
No.
No one has told me that.
- Have you seen my childhood photos?
- I haven't.
Can I show you?
Okay, go ahead.
Phew. You finally agreed to something.
Balm says, "Well done"
and wants to kiss you.
- Should I bend over again?
- Yes.
Lidya.
Didn't we say you'd finish your homework
before dinner?
Why don't you ever listen to me?
But Mom,
I told you I finished my homework.
All right, but still. Go over it again.
But I was going to show Uncle
my childhood photos.
Ugh, Lidya, you shouldn't pester people.
I wasn't.
Just go to your room.
You're being tiresome.
She isn't. It's fine.
Still. She needs to learn some things.
Arzu. All right, that's enough.
- Dad.
- My love.
Uncle likes plain coffee.
Just plain Turkish coffee.
Oh, right. I
I wasn't thinking. What can I get you?
I'm good. I'm not staying anyway.
Sorry for bothering you.
Come on, Lidya. Let's go.
Come, darling.
- Baran, where are you going? Stop.
- Let me go.
- Please don't go.
- Move.
- Move!
- Baran! I'm your brother, man.
You'll listen to me.
Can someone in this house
take me seriously?
Don't make me beg for shit.
I don't know about your other shit.
But begging won't work for this shit.
Now, move.
Stop it.
- Baran!
- Move, man!
Listen, man.
I showed up to every single visit, okay?
You didn't want to see me, not even once.
You didn't take the money I sent.
You didn't write at all.
You think you were punishing me?
Every time I went there,
the thought of looking you in the eye
was killing me.
So, you did me a favor
when you refused to see me.
You didn't say a word.
Not in court either.
Why didn't you say something?
Why didn't you say, "They sold me out"?
You did your time and got out.
I can't, Baran.
I've created my own prison here, man.
I'm scared of making my daughter unhappy.
For God's sake, help me. I'm begging you.
Baran.
I can't live with this remorse.
Balm was right.
You and I looked alike, even as babies.
You were a very good boy.
My dad told me.
You
Never made him cry.
You never upset him.
You'll stay, right?
Excuse me, brother.
I need to ask you something.
Oh, fuck off.
What did you say?
What the hell?
Sorry, I didn't see the earbuds. My bad.
- Are you mad?
- Hey! Sha, he's my friend.
What are you doing? Go, you psycho.
- God give me patience.
- I said go.
God. I'm like a magnet for psychos.
You got out early.
Why didn't you say?
I could have prepared something.
Shame on you.
Prepared something? Like what, a cake?
I'd have come pick you up.
You've made me feel like an ass.
Are you done?
Had a chance to see
if there're any shops for rent?
Don't worry, bro.
I'm here to help you adapt as needed.
- The route is being created.
- What are you talking about?
This shop is my only chance.
Have you looked?
I have, bro. Found a cheap one too.
- Who's the owner?
- Some retired guy.
I'm here for you. Leave it to me.
And buckle your seat belt.
Bird shit on you.
Baran, we're out, man.
There's the sky, the wind, the birds.
Look, it shit on my shoulder.
We can buy lottery tickets if we want.
If we win, we can go on
We can go to Sicily, man.
We talked about it all the time.
There's so many dreams.
We'll do all of them. You get it, right?
I do, but
The shop is my dream. Come on, show me.
Let me wipe off this shit.
We'll be free of all the shit, finally.
Don't even worry about it.
Just see the place, and we'll sort it out.
Esat, your Highness.
Get back to work
if you're done messing around.
I'm coming, boss.
Go three blocks down.
Zone three, number 56.
The shop's there. Oh.
- We're celebrating tonight. Be there.
- All right.
SHOP FOR RENEsat, who is that guy?
Excuse me, boss. I've got some work to do.
How do you know him?
He's a friend from prison.
This is another world, okay, boy?
They won't put up with lowlifes here.
You wouldn't be here either
if I knew early on.
How do you know he's a lowlife, boss?
Are you kidding me? He's clearly a psycho.
Boss, please don't do this.
You'd be ashamed of your words
if you knew Baran.
And the worst of lowlifes
and murderers are out there.
You know it too.
Have some mercy.
Veli.
Play this for us. It's his birthday.
- Right away.
- Thanks.
Why did you lie?
To tell you I'm glad you're here.
Cheers.
You've given your heart
To your very first summer fling
Once you've drunk
An entire bottle of mastic rak
You wept a little too
Fall in love for my sake too
Don't put life on hold
If you want to settle for so little
Just live your life
How many of us are there
Who defend love?
Wow, brother.
You'll have your first heartache soon.
You'll talk my ear off about it.
We'll come here and get smashed.
I can tell you'll be a handful.
What's this?
- Heartache.
- Oh, really?
What do you think? I made it.
Very nice.
Esat.
Let's sort that shop out
first thing tomorrow,
so I'll stop worrying.
At least I'd have a place to stay.
Not comfortable at your brother's?
What's up with you?
You're sulking. What's the matter?
The landlord.
Well? What about him?
The jerk changed his mind.
Someone offered more money.
So, he doubled the down payment.
He'll sign with the other one
if we don't pay.
- Who's the other one?
- Just some guy.
He put in a big offer though.
How am I supposed to pay double?
Fuck this shit!
- Don't get upset, man.
- How can I not?
This is all I've saved.
That shop was my only way out.
Do you know how much crap
I had to deal with so I could have it?
Okay, please calm down.
We'll just find another shop.
- Maybe you should talk to your brother.
- Esat, don't push me.
I will. He's a big shot engineer.
- He can help you.
- He should help himself.
No, he should help you. He owes you.
- Stop it.
- Why, man?
What's with the pride?
You spent half of your life in prison.
You've suffered so much.
Stop carrying all this weight.
Just let him pay.
Your brother owes you his life, okay?
And you're worried about a fucking shop.
I owe you too.
I owe you big time.
I swear, we'll sort this out.
Don't you worry.
- What are you doing here?
- Waiting for you.
Come, I'll show you my photos.
Can we do it later?
I'm exhausted.
Exhausted? What does that mean?
It means I'm tired.
Come on.
Look, this is Zpzp.
Dog took it at the park.
But it's okay. I still have Balm.
I carry Balm with me all the time,
so no one takes it.
Good girl. Don't ever let Balm go, okay?
Lidya, are you out there?
Baran, can we talk inside for a second?
I'm home.
Dad's here!
Baran, you know we're leaving.
I wrote down some important stuff.
Here's some of it.
Aynur comes in to clean
every Thursday at 8 a.m.
Leaves around 6 p.m.
She doesn't like men around the apartment.
So, plan for that.
Trash goes out at 9 p.m.
Absolutely no smoking.
The people here are particular.
Please use a mat for pans when you eat.
Oh, and most importantly
If anyone asks, you came from Germany.
Not everyone needs to get it.
This is so embarrassing, Arzu!
Did I say something wrong, Fatih?
Honey, sweetie,
could you go to your room for a bit?
You said you wouldn't fight today.
Go on, honey. To your room.
Come on, my love.
What's so embarrassing, Fatih?
Besides you yelling at me in public?
Put that list down.
I swear, you're getting on my nerves.
You think he's an idiot,
and you need to tell him
how to use a towel or how to eat?
Is he stupid?
Arzu, don't test my patience, okay, woman?
I've got things to say
if we're talking about patience.
Baran, you look like a nice kid, dear.
I wouldn't want
anything bad to happen to you.
So, you shouldn't be seen
with your brother outside.
God forbid you'd get a knee injury.
Arzu, please.
Seriously, don't make me do
something I'll regret.
Sure.
You know all about regrets.
Baran, can you give us a minute, bro?
- Arzu and I need to talk, clearly.
- Why?
Isn't he family?
He should learn everything.
Baran, this one's even worse
than the guys you did time with.
He'll hang you out to dry.
He did it to his partner,
his painter, his workers.
I'm just telling you
in case you want to trust him
and go into business with him.
He can't even afford his kid's tuition.
Oh, we're behind
on the rent for this apartment too.
That's how bad we're doing.
You think he'll help you? Yeah, dream on.
I'm not expecting any help.
I've rented a shop.
I'm starting my own business.
So, I don't need your husband's help.
I'm just here to get my stuff.
Baran, brother. Just
Arzu must have gone mad.
She's going through something.
Don't even listen to her.
You're the one I can't stand.
Leave me alone. Go deal with your family.
Okay?
Where did you sleep last night?
At the beach. Don't worry about it.
What's that car?
Some rich old guy brought it in.
Inherited it from his dad.
Let me have a look.
What are you doing today?
I'll check the job ads.
And maybe some lease transfers.
- You?
- I'll be working.
The guy said he'd pay good money
if we could fix up this antique.
Boss got all excited, of course.
We've all joined forces and gave it a try.
But to no avail.
May it rest in peace.
What are you talking about?
This is too precious.
It's been two years, man.
What are you guys doing here?
- Boss.
- Well?
Didn't I tell you not to touch it
without my permission?
- Boss, let him have a look. Baran's good...
- Enough of this.
We have work to do.
I'll keep in touch.
I don't want to see him here again.
- Good day, sir.
- How can I help you?
I was wondering.
Are there any shops for rent around here?
There was a spot on the next street.
I'd check it out.
- That street?
- Yeah, that one.
Thanks. Have a nice day.
- Good day, sir.
- Thanks.
- Are you moving out?
- No, I changed my mind.
- Okay, thanks. Have a nice day.
- Good luck.
Don't worry, man.
There are tons of spots around here.
We'll find one.
So many options. We'll figure it out.
Wait.
What's this place?
Abandoned.
They'll tear it down soon.
Are you sure?
Don't you see, man? It's in ruins.
There's no owner?
I don't know.
Let's go.
Baran, sir?
Remember me? Selami from the shops.
- Oh, yeah. Why don't you have a seat?
- Thanks.
Esat sent me.
It's a go for that shop of yours.
But how?
The landlord felt guilty.
Well, you deserved it anyway.
He sent me to get a deposit
and have you sign these papers.
- He just decided to be a good Samaritan?
- Onur's like that.
He got excited at first,
but then it felt wrong.
He's actually a good guy.
He couldn't come, so he sent me in a rush.
But if you've already found a place
No, I haven't.
Let's have a look.
Here.
I can't believe it.
All right.
- Now what?
- You'll sign right there.
- This is great.
- And if I could get a deposit.
This is all I have. Is it enough?
Congratulations.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
- See you.
- Take care.
Hello?
Yes, this is he.
Are you the uncle?
How is she?
She had a minor procedure.
She's okay now, but we lost her mom.
My condolences.
She's been asking for you.
And her dad?
How is he?
The doctor will inform you.
You can see your brother if you like.
Yes, I understand, Duygu,
but you know about my situation.
I assure you, I'd like to help, but...
- I mean...
- As I said, my dad has Alzheimer's.
- I have three kids.
- Okay. It is what it is.
There's nothing I can do.
Okay, thanks.
I'm sorry.
- Thanks.
- Good night.
What did she say?
- Lidya's granddad has Alzheimer's.
- And?
She has to take care of him
and her three kids.
So, she can't help.
Geez! She's supposed to be her aunt.
What about the shop?
I haven't heard from your guy.
Let's figure this out quickly
and get into that.
I haven't even met the landlord yet.
What guy?
The guy you sent.
Was it Selami? Your friend?
The landlord felt bad?
I paid the deposit and signed the papers.
I didn't send anyone, man.
The landlord already signed with someone.
And I don't know anyone named Selami.
You've been conned.
I signed a contract with that guy.
Oh, man. Oh, brother.
How could you fall for this?
She had a minor procedure.
She's okay now, but we lost her mom.
She's been asking for you.
My dad has Alzheimer's. I have three kids.
There's nothing I can do.
Remember me? Selami from the shops.
If I could get a deposit.
The landlord already signed with someone.
And I don't know anyone named Selami.
How could you fall for this?
Lidya.
Uncle.
No, don't get up.
Don't get up.
Balm's gone, you know?
So is Mom.
Do you think they're together?
I don't know.
My condolences.
What does that mean?
It means "I wish you a long life."
I wish you a long life too.
Uncle, you're not going
to join them there, right?
Dad's going to be okay, right?
Don't go, Uncle.
Please don't leave me alone.
Please don't go. Stay with me.
THE OBAN FAMILY
You screwed me over for years.
And once again, I can't do anything.
I'm helpless because of you, again.
What's up?
I'm not talking to you.
Why not?
Where have you been?
I had to take care of something.
And I have a surprise for you.
Aren't you curious?
Look.
Balm missed you so much.
- Aren't you happy?
- That means Mom has no one with her.
She's all alone there.
Of course she has someone.
- She...
- Who?
Uh
She has angels with her.
Promise?
Look, Balm's sad
because you haven't hugged it.
I'm sorry, Balm.
Uncle, give me your hand.
Esat, can you come to the hospital
and look after Lidya?
I need to deal with the shop.
Thank you. I owe you big time.
Good day, sir.
Thanks. Where to?
- The auto shop area.
- Sure.
What's up, bro? Did you wait a long time?
Here.
- What's this?
- Have a look.
Amount payable
outside of insurance coverage
410,000 liras?
What's this?
What is it?
They're saying, "You slept, ate and drank
at our hospital for 15 days,
and this is how much you pay for it."
For fuck's sake.
Maybe your brother has it.
Big shot engineer and all.
- He doesn't! He's bankrupt.
- How can you be so sure?
Let's find his lawyer or his accountant.
Let's ask around.
I know he doesn't. His wife said so.
"His wife said so."
350,000 to go.
Now what?
We're gonna sell your brother's wreck.
What else?
What do you say, efik?
- I'll give you 70.
- What? You're killing us.
- I hope work's going well, efik.
- Thanks, sir.
What, are you ripping people off again?
It's worth 70 tops.
I'll do 90 as a favor to you.
Seriously?
What's this, a Fiat 124? Are you blind?
Give us a better offer.
Go ahead.
Musa, sir, 120.
efik, if you rip these guys off,
they'll turn around and rip me off.
150,000.
Not a cent more.
150 works. It's a deal.
This is the first time
I've seen him do someone a favor.
You're in luck.
- I'll take that.
- Here.
- Thanks.
- Good luck.
Esat!
Yes, boss.
- Give it here.
- What?
My cut. I get 10%.
No, boss, we need this money urgently.
It's not even enough.
Give me my cut.
Do it, Esat.
That leaves us 135,000.
My God.
He's as bad as ever.
It was for the hospital.
His brother's fighting for his life, boss.
He's on his deathbed.
Boss, that shop was his only dream.
The poor guy has been saving for years.
And he lost it in a second.
He's left with nothing.
Please, I haven't asked you
for anything, ever.
Maybe you should think this over.
At least give him a job
until he gets back on his feet.
- And you got a cut thanks to him.
- Thanks to him?
The idiot was being ripped off.
I helped him out.
Why do you hate him, boss?
Just let him work here.
You're paying peanuts anyway.
Get back to work.
Boss.
Please.
You don't know
what he and I went through in prison.
You don't know, boss.
No, you haven't cleaned them.
They're filthy.
Cafer, sir, I swear I did.
I trimmed them too.
Come, I'll show you how to clean yourself.
- Come on.
- Sir.
- Sir.
- Let him go!
- Come.
- Move.
Sir, please. Sir.
Get over there.
We
We were surrounded by monsters.
Have some mercy.
Okay?
Everyone makes mistakes that they regret.
No one knows this better than you, boss.
What do I know? What are you saying?
- Just what needs to be said.
- What the hell?
You don't know what that guy went through.
But I know what you went through
and what you put people through.
I'll fucking kill you.
I get it, you buried yourself
along with your family.
You've no goodness left in you.
You're no help to anyone
and you don't want to be.
Don't think that guy and you are alike.
Because you're nothing alike.
Musa, he's not a murderer.
Okay?
That guy did years to save his brother.
Take that into consideration.
Give it some thought.
Just think.
Mr. Baran, he's not well.
It's not a good idea to transfer him now.
I wish we could keep him here.
If you kept him here,
our whole bloodline
would have to pay off his debt.
It doesn't matter
if he's in a public or private hospital.
He's a vegetable.
Dad!
Where are you taking my dad?
Leave him alone!
Shh. All right, calm down.
They're taking him to a better hospital.
- No, I wanna go with him.
- You're not. Let go.
- Dad!
- Lidya, stop! Stop torturing yourself!
Come on, Lidya.
She has no one to look after her, Doctor.
I can't do it either.
And you know the state my brother's in.
Given her current state, it's crucial
Lidya stays with someone she trusts.
Psst.
What's this?
We worked so hard to fix it, man.
We should get to enjoy it, shouldn't we?
- Jump in.
- I'll drive. Move.
How did it go? What happened?
Nothing unexpected.
What does that even mean?
I'll explain later.
Not now.
I didn't go to school.
I don't have a job.
I'm just a good-for-nothing guy anyway.
But family is important.
Would you trust me with a kid?
Can you bring yourself
to send Lidya to the children's shelter?
Can you bring yourself?
Can you bring yourself?
What are you doing, man? Baran!
I'm broke.
- Slow down!
- I'm just a good-for-nothing guy anyway.
And now I worry about my daughter.
- Uncle.
- Baran!
Do you agree to send her
to the children's shelter?
We look alike.
She'll be nothing like me.
Lidya.
Uncle.
Lidya.
Whoa!
What happened to our stuff, Uncle?
I had to sell it.
It's okay.
Do it for Balm too.
I wish we had a TV.
I'd put on my favorite band for you.
What's your favorite band?
BTS.
What kind of name is BTS?
They're Korean.
- Do you speak Korean?
- Nope. Do I have to?
Right, you don't.
I know who your favorite singer is.
Dad told me.
Who is it?
If you ask me, fortune and luck
They're as elusive as love
Let go of the ones who leave
Welcome the newcomers
No other way around it
Let's eat.
Welcome the newcomers
No other...
You stay here.
Good day, son.
You must be Fatih's brother, right?
He told me about you.
First of all, I'm sorry for your loss.
Thanks. How can I help you?
And I wish your brother a speedy recovery.
Thanks. Anything else?
I'm sorry to bother you,
but I'm your landlord.
I hate to come at a time like this, but
The court reached a decision last week.
You should have received the notice, but
Of course, you weren't home.
You need to vacate the flat in two days.
They haven't paid rent in months,
let alone at the new rate.
I see. Could you give me some time?
If you pay the back rent
and agree to the new rate, you can stay.
But if you move out now,
I'll forget about your debt,
and we'll part on good terms.
It's up to you.
Sir, you let it slide all this time.
If you give me more time,
I could get a job, and
Okay, but please hurry up.
- Okay, thanks.
- Have a nice day.
He's actually a very good man.
Only Mom doesn't like him.
Come on.
You know, he and I feed the cats together.
- Want some yogurt?
- Yes.
- Is this okay?
- It is.
- Water?
- Fill it up.
- You can take those.
- Okay.
- You know what?
- Yes?
I was watching X-Men with Dad once.
To see who the world's strongest hero is.
Guess who he picked.
- Spider-Man?
- No.
- Iron Man?
- Not him either.
- You know who it is?
- Who?
The Repairman.
He made it up. It's not real.
But it is.
It's you.
Dad says there's nothing you can't fix.
That's why he calls you The Repairman.
I wish you could fix Dad too.
Like you fixed Balm.
TIRE TECH WANTED
AUTO SHOP BULLETIN BOARD
Good day, sir.
- Thanks. Welcome.
- Thank you.
Are you hiring?
No, brother.
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
Good day. Is Esat's not in?
He has some errands outside.
I sent him out.
Thanks. Have a nice day.
What's up with you?
Any luck with jobs?
No.
No luck.
People get scared
when they hear about my past.
So don't tell them.
Because if you don't,
you'll forget it too.
No way.
Why not? It would be so easy.
It wouldn't be.
People see it in my face
even if I don't tell them.
When you take a life,
you carry that person's coffin with you
for the rest of your life.
Sir.
So, keep your advice to yourself.
I couldn't carry them, though.
I couldn't carry the coffins
of those I had killed.
I drank too much that night.
I must have passed out.
When I came to
The house was gone.
I burned it.
Along with the people inside it.
I was the sole survivor.
Semra used to tell me
I could never quit smoking.
But boy, did I.
In one night.
Sorry for your loss.
See that?
What?
This.
If you fix it, you've got a job here.
I wouldn't bother with that.
But you know what?
I'd give my life for that car.
Fine.
You have four days though.
Hey! Who are you?
Get out from under there!
- What on earth are you doing, man?
- Fixing it, but this one's hard.
For God's sake.
You've really lost it.

Poor guy's wasting his time.
And he's not going to get hired either.
Why are you stringing him along, boss?
Can't you see he can't do it?
You wanted me to let him work and I did.
I did, but I didn't tell you
to make him work for free. Please.
At least he's getting fed.
Boss, stop wasting his time
and let him get a proper job.
Please, let him go.
Come on, baby.
Come on, tiger.
Come on, baby. Bismillah.
Oh, yeah! Yes!
Are you serious?
I can't believe you, man!
For fuck's sake!
Fucking hell!
It's all right, bro.
You did your best. At least it worked.
You get 5,000 per week.
You worked hard today. Get some rest.
Start tomorrow.
But it stopped working.
I knew it wouldn't work.
But you didn't give up.
Thanks.
Man!
Stop, man. My back's hurting.
You turned him into mush in two days.
Props to you, man.
I can fix it for real.
I'll look at the ignition system tomorrow.
You're insane, man.
Roll me a cigarette.
And get me some coffee and water. No!
You know, Mom wouldn't let me have this.
Dad bought it for me secretly.
Wait, you're gonna get dirty.
And you said I smelled bad.
Look.
I didn't have these.
- Do you like them?
- Yes.
- Go away.
- What are you doing?
It was my turn. You cut in.
Why did you push me? I didn't see you.
Are you okay?
Good girl. You didn't let yourself cry.
Or he'd have thought you weak
and that he was the shit.
He really is shit.
- No swearing. It's not nice.
- You said it.
Grown-ups can do it sometimes,
though they shouldn't.
Anyway.
Look, I may not always be with you.
So, you need to learn
how to protect yourself, okay?
Come on, get up.
Make fists.
Now, hit me.
Uncle, I can't hit anyone.
But you need to learn.
Come on, it's fine.
I can't. I promised Mom.
You won't be able to. Try.
See?
Don't leave any gaps. Boom.
You have to block me.
Hey!
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
Come on.
Okay.
I'll get this.
- Wait, I'll carry that one.
- Can you?
Let's go.
Is she gonna be able to sleep?
She'll have to.
We'll have to make do. God bless you.
You two be careful.
Musa will fire us both
if he finds you here.
No, don't worry.
There's some work next door.
I'll work nights and make rent.
You should get some sleep too.
- You'll be beat.
- No.
I'll come get Lidya
first thing in the morning.
I'll take her to the hospital.
The nurses will look after her.
The hospital? Are you crazy?
All those sick and dead people.
She'd be miserable.
What can I do? Do I have another option?
True. You have a point.
Lidya, honey.
I'm going to go now, okay?
I'll get you in the morning.
Esat will take good care of you.
Don't be scared.
But there are cobwebs there.
Where?
Up there.
It's okay.
Spiders have a life too, you know.
They have families too.
Right? Shouldn't they get to live?
Fine, they can live.
- Where are you going?
- I'm here to work, sir. Toilet cleaning.
Okay, go ahead.
Move.
Is something the matter?
No.
Psst, listen.
Come get a line if you're bored.
No, thanks.
Suit yourself.
Sorry, brother.
I can't fit this junk anywhere.
Apologies.
I apologized, didn't I?
You did. Now, go.
Excuse me?
Go do your thing.
- You're telling me to go?
- I am, brother. Let's leave it at that.
What if I don't want to?
Let's not make a scene.
Let's do it. I want a scene.
Dear God, they say you're great.
You can make anything happen.
So please make Dad get better.
He's such a good dad.
Let Uncle Baran be okay as well.
He's a great person too.
But he got beaten up today.
Make his wounds heal quickly too.
He takes such good care of me.
So, I'm trying not to look sad.
I behave myself.
I don't even cry,
so my uncle doesn't leave me.
Let us never be apart, please.
And take care of Mom up there, okay?
Or she'd be scared, all alone.
Amen.
You wait for me here, okay?
- I'll come back for you. And Balm
- When?
- Huh?
- When?
I'll come back before sunset.
Okay? Balm can stay with you.
Go over there.
Go on, sit.
Come on.
No visitors. Please leave.
Uh, I
She misses her dad so much,
so I had to bring her.
And what are those?
We brought some stuff her dad might need.
In his state?
Can't she stay here for a bit?
And sleep?
I'll pick her up later.
Okay, fine.
We can keep her for a few hours,
but you need to get her after that.
All right, thanks.
Good day, boss.
Sorry I'm late. Won't happen again.
What's up with you?
Did you get in a fight?
No, I didn't.
I fell coming down the hill.
Wait.
I think this is yours.
I must have dropped it. Thanks.
Take the day off.
Take today off.
You're distracted.
You'll make things worse.
Go on.
Here.
Where are we going?
You'll see it soon.
Ugh, I need to take a shower now.
My head's itching.
Okay, honey.
Where are we?
Hang on.
- Give me your hairpin.
- What for?
Hi, kitty.
Come on, Lidya.
Why are we here?
To take a shower.
But it's not our house.
We shouldn't be here without permission.
Yes, it's wrong, but
Sometimes, to get to the right,
you have to go through the wrong.
And you didn't do anything,
your uncle did.
What if the owners come back?
They won't.
I heard them talk to the neighbor outside.
They'll be away for two days. Relax.
But we'll apologize to God later, right?
Totally.
Come here.
Have some food. Here.
Stop it. My back hurts.
Someone's calling.
Here.
It's your Uncle Esat. Hello?
You have to come here, now.
- Calm down. What is it?
- The landlord's here.
He's waiting for you. Hurry.
- Come on, man!
- Okay, we're on our way.
- We got it, Lidya.
- What?
- We got it. Quick, get ready.
- What?
We need to hurry. Come on.
Careful.
Excuse me.
Who are you?
I'm the gardener. And you?
Really? Nice to meet you.
I've been the gardener around here
for the last 20 years.
Run, run.
Run, run. Come here.
Come. Let's go left.
Run, run.
Come on. Run.
Shh, shh. Come here.
Wait here a second.
They went that way.
Where are they?
Let's get him.
Where did they go?
I told you we shouldn't break in.
We didn't apologize to God either.
- I'm glad this happened.
- Okay.
You're right. Let's apologize now.
Dear God, we're so sorry.
We made a mistake.
But we were dirty and needed a shower.
- That's why we did it. Happy now?
- In someone else's bathroom.
Okay, it won't happen again.
We promise. Amen.
All right?
Dad would never do something like this.
And we wouldn't have to run like this.
Esat.
- Let's check that space out.
- Oh.
A bit late for that.
The guy waited for ages and left.
The realtor called.
I guess there's another taker.
He just wouldn't listen.
- Ugh.
- It's gone.
Goddamn it.
Lidya, honey, let's go in.
I'll take that.
Musa isn't in today.
He went to the cemetery.
Ugh.
Can I get some water?
It's not working.
I can't do it.
I'll take her there
once she gets some rest.
Knock it off, man.
Don't rush into this. Just wait.
Rush into it? Are you crazy?
I made her break into someone's house.
I made her take a shower
in someone else's bathtub.
We got caught.
We barely got away.
At least she'll get fed there.
I don't know.
She'll have a proper bed.
I tried, but it's not working.
I can't do it, Esat.
- I've made her miserable.
- Uncle.
Lidya.
Look, I found us a place to stay.
How did you do that?
Thanks to him.
He gave me the keys.
He says he's your boss.
Oh, fuck.
Don't swear in front of the child,
you brute.
Sorry, boss.
I'm sorry, boss. Lidya is my niece.
My brother's not well...
All right, all right.
You're giving me a headache.
The keys are for the storage back there.
It's been locked up for a while though.
Get in there and clean it.
Whatever you need to do.
So you won't have any excuse
to be late in the mornings.
And there's no spider family there.
They like Esat's room much more.
Look.
A friend for Balm.
Balm won't be lonely either.
Did you talk to him or something?
No, why would I do that?
I don't know. He's old.
Probably started fearing God.
I'll go find some cleaning stuff.
I'll be back.
Look.
I haven't drawn Dad yet though.
I'll do it when he comes home.
I'm sorry.
I said bad things to you.
You did something wrong for my sake.
Are we okay?
We are.
Anyway, I need to clean this place now.
Come on.
You clean it too. Help me out a little.
Or that man will get mad at us.
Boss.
Yeah?
We got it all wrong.
Is that so?
I'm serious.
The problem isn't
the ignition system or the coils.
What is it then?
I'll tell you.
It's the old gas in the tank.
How long has it been idle?
How did you figure it out?
We've all been thinking
and none of us thought of that.
Balm told me.
Oh, you.
We need to empty and clean the tank.
Then the owner can come pick it up.
Good night.
I'll be damned.
So you do have an owner after all.
FOR RENThey say some things can't be fixed.
Like the soul of a child,
where every part is worn down,
broken, out of order.
That's a lie.
If you know where it's broken,
you'll know how to fix it.
Whoa.
What is this?
Boss will fire you all if he sees this.
- Are you insane?
- No, he bought them himself.
Let's drink to the Mustang.
Is it gone?
Wow! It is.
Boss.
For you.
- No, I'm still working.
- Have it, man. It's okay.
What about you?
You know I swore off it.
And this is your cut.
Thanks.
- I'll be back. Hold this.
- Where are you going?
Oh, boss. Catch.
Hey.
Life may seem like a dead end,
but sometimes it opens up a new road
where you least expect it.
The road is long,
but it's full of hope.
LDYA CAR-TAL AUTO
Good evening.
Thanks.
Whoa, man.
What did you do?
It looks great in here.
It does, but there's still lots to do.
I'm gonna set up a room up there,
just like yours.
And that can be Lidya's room.
What do you think?
Sounds good, man.
I'm sure you'll pull it off.
How are you doing money wise? Got any left?
It'll all work out. Don't worry.
I'm figuring it out.
You fixed this place up in a month.
Respect.
Be careful with the wall.
I don't want it nicked.
Or I'll hit you, bullseye.
Don't worry, we'll be careful.
- Look, Esat.
- Yes?
- You need to hold it like this.
- I am.
- Thanks, boss.
- Enjoy.
Appreciate it.
Esat, you know what?
I talked to Dad. He's coming home.
I heard, honey. Your uncle told me.
- Musa, sir.
- Yeah?
Uncle doesn't like tea.
He likes plain coffee.
Just plain Turkish coffee.
Oh, yeah?
Then His Highness can make it himself.
But then he won't remember it
for 40 years.
- Says who? Where did this come from?
- Who do you think?
Balm, of course. Who else?
Balm says so?
Lidya. Come, honey. Let's keep playing.
Throw it. Show me again how it's done.
You have to hold it so. But you're not.
Baran, I'm here in the area.
I'll be there in two minutes.
Okay.
Esat, can you bring Lidya's stuff?
Lidya, honey.
It's time for you to go.
What did we say?
No crying.
Exactly. No crying.
- Come with us.
- But we talked about this.
You can come back whenever you want.
Everyone here loves you.
Uncle Esat, Grandpa Musa.
What are you doing, boy?
You're gonna rip the bonnet off.
I'll come visit you anyway.
Move.
Musa, sir.
Yes, sweetie?
Godspeed.
You can't say that, sweetie.
You're the one who's leaving.
I should say it to you, right?
My love.
Come here, my darling.
Cutie.
Baran, brother.
Thank you so much for everything.
Come on, my love.
Lidya.
This isn't goodbye.
I'll come visit you all the time. Okay?
We'll take strolls in the park.
We'll have burgers.
Okay, sweetie?
Balm is staying with you.
- But what will you do without it?
- Balm will take care of you.
Or I won't rest easy.
Look.
This is my lucky stone.
Keep it with you, okay?
Okay.
Come.
Come, my love.
Stop!
- What is it, Lidya?
- Stop!
I love you, Uncle.
I love you too, so much.
So much.
Goodbye, Uncle.
Come.
6 MONTHS LATER
Lidya, I know who these people are,
but who is the brunette?
Your girlfriend.
I don't have one.
You will, soon.
Balm and I talked about it.
I have someone in mind.
That's all I need now, is it?
We can't let those good looks go to waste.
Uncle, stop eating already.
Why should I?
We're going home.
The oven is broken.
Take a look.
Dad's starving.
He'd never let himself starve.
And I don't know anything
about fixing ovens.
You fixed that whole abandoned building.
How do you know the word "abandoned"?
Come on, please. I'll help you too.
Uncle, you know what?
Dad taught me how to make coffee.
I'll make you coffee at home.
Then you'll remember me for 40 years.
I won't remember you for 40 years,
I'll remember you for 40 thousand years.
Okay, let's go.
Let's not let this go to waste.
- We'll feed it to the cats.
- Bravo.
Our next-door neighbor, Gizem.
She loves cats too.
And she makes delicious cookies.
Is that so?
Does she happen to be a brunette?
Yes.
Let's go say hello if she's home. Can we?
Say hello?
Yes.
Now?
When we get home.
Does she live alone?
Yes.
Okay, we'll see.
I haven't met
a better repairer than her so far.
I can only hope
to become as good as she is, one day.
I'm not alone anymore,
nor am I abandoned.

Don't put life on hold
If you want to settle for so little
Just live your life
How many of us are there
Who defend love?
Yes.
That's it.
Brother, I saved your notes.
You idiot!
A hit-and-run? What the hell did you do?
Dad, I didn't know what to do.
It was dark and there was no one around.
You ruined yourself and us.
Atf, save him, I'm begging you.
Good evening, Atf.
Your vehicle was involved in an accident.
I know, Captain.
Good evening. I just heard.
My son
The man he hit has died.
He's coming with us.
Baran, you heard the captain. Come on.
But, Dad I didn't
Son.
It'll go by quickly.
You're a minor, son.
Your brother would be ruined,
but you'll get out in no time.
Come on, son.

Let's go.

15 YEARS LATER
Good luck.
Good luck, Baran.
Good luck.
Baran.
Man, I didn't recognize you
when you first came out of the gate.
Your eyes are the same though.
Wow, I almost didn't recognize
my own brother.
Lidya, this is your uncle.
- Baran, stop. Stop, for God's sake.
- Let me go, man.
Don't be so stubborn.
I'm here to take you home.
- Let go.
- Baran, please stop.
Look, I let you go once.
I'd rather die than do it again, okay?
You want me to beg at your feet?
Please give me another chance, Baran!
So you can feel better?
Not going to happen again.
I don't owe you that.
Baran, we've no one left.
Neither of us has anyone left.
It's just us now.
You're gonna give me another chance.
Dad, please get up. Get up.
I guess Uncle doesn't like us.
Man, get up.
Don't make a scene in front of the girl.
You will, Baran!
I won't! No way in hell!
Fine. Then I'll just sit here.
I'm going to stay here.
I'm not going anywhere.
Have you been drinking?
Of course.
Uncle!
Wait.
What if I begged?
Will that work?
So handsome.
Fatih, shut the door.
Fifteen years, Fatih. It's been 15 years.
We don't know him, Fatih, do we?
What are you saying? He's my brother.
I know him better than anyone else.
And he's more decent than me or you.
Been drinking again?
- Of course.
- I barely got him here.
He'll hear us. Shame on you.
- How long is he staying?
- As long as he needs to, Arzu.
They only let me eat the foam.
What?
- What foam?
- Coffee foam.
What's your favorite?
"Lacte"? Americano?
"Jortado"?
He was in there with psychos,
maniacs and God knows who else.
I have no words for you.
We're going on vacation, Arzu, dear.
We'll be on vacation anyway.
Please, let him stay here.
Just let the kid relax here for a bit.
Sure, Fatih. You're right, he should.
- To hell with us. It's all about him.
- Why do you say that?
You messed everything up, that's why.
And you still worry about his comfort.
The man is a murderer.
How old were you there?
Fourteen.
Brother, they're taking me.
Could you bend over?
Bend over.
- Why?
- Because.
A bit lower.
- But why?
- Just do it.
You're so sulky.
That's why it's hard to see.
See what?
How handsome you are.
Am I?
No girl has told you that?
No.
No one has told me that.
- Have you seen my childhood photos?
- I haven't.
Can I show you?
Okay, go ahead.
Phew. You finally agreed to something.
Balm says, "Well done"
and wants to kiss you.
- Should I bend over again?
- Yes.
Lidya.
Didn't we say you'd finish your homework
before dinner?
Why don't you ever listen to me?
But Mom,
I told you I finished my homework.
All right, but still. Go over it again.
But I was going to show Uncle
my childhood photos.
Ugh, Lidya, you shouldn't pester people.
I wasn't.
Just go to your room.
You're being tiresome.
She isn't. It's fine.
Still. She needs to learn some things.
Arzu. All right, that's enough.
- Dad.
- My love.
Uncle likes plain coffee.
Just plain Turkish coffee.
Oh, right. I
I wasn't thinking. What can I get you?
I'm good. I'm not staying anyway.
Sorry for bothering you.
Come on, Lidya. Let's go.
Come, darling.
- Baran, where are you going? Stop.
- Let me go.
- Please don't go.
- Move.
- Move!
- Baran! I'm your brother, man.
You'll listen to me.
Can someone in this house
take me seriously?
Don't make me beg for shit.
I don't know about your other shit.
But begging won't work for this shit.
Now, move.
Stop it.
- Baran!
- Move, man!
Listen, man.
I showed up to every single visit, okay?
You didn't want to see me, not even once.
You didn't take the money I sent.
You didn't write at all.
You think you were punishing me?
Every time I went there,
the thought of looking you in the eye
was killing me.
So, you did me a favor
when you refused to see me.
You didn't say a word.
Not in court either.
Why didn't you say something?
Why didn't you say, "They sold me out"?
You did your time and got out.
I can't, Baran.
I've created my own prison here, man.
I'm scared of making my daughter unhappy.
For God's sake, help me. I'm begging you.
Baran.
I can't live with this remorse.
Balm was right.
You and I looked alike, even as babies.
You were a very good boy.
My dad told me.
You
Never made him cry.
You never upset him.
You'll stay, right?
Excuse me, brother.
I need to ask you something.
Oh, fuck off.
What did you say?
What the hell?
Sorry, I didn't see the earbuds. My bad.
- Are you mad?
- Hey! Sha, he's my friend.
What are you doing? Go, you psycho.
- God give me patience.
- I said go.
God. I'm like a magnet for psychos.
You got out early.
Why didn't you say?
I could have prepared something.
Shame on you.
Prepared something? Like what, a cake?
I'd have come pick you up.
You've made me feel like an ass.
Are you done?
Had a chance to see
if there're any shops for rent?
Don't worry, bro.
I'm here to help you adapt as needed.
- The route is being created.
- What are you talking about?
This shop is my only chance.
Have you looked?
I have, bro. Found a cheap one too.
- Who's the owner?
- Some retired guy.
I'm here for you. Leave it to me.
And buckle your seat belt.
Bird shit on you.
Baran, we're out, man.
There's the sky, the wind, the birds.
Look, it shit on my shoulder.
We can buy lottery tickets if we want.
If we win, we can go on
We can go to Sicily, man.
We talked about it all the time.
There's so many dreams.
We'll do all of them. You get it, right?
I do, but
The shop is my dream. Come on, show me.
Let me wipe off this shit.
We'll be free of all the shit, finally.
Don't even worry about it.
Just see the place, and we'll sort it out.
Esat, your Highness.
Get back to work
if you're done messing around.
I'm coming, boss.
Go three blocks down.
Zone three, number 56.
The shop's there. Oh.
- We're celebrating tonight. Be there.
- All right.
SHOP FOR RENEsat, who is that guy?
Excuse me, boss. I've got some work to do.
How do you know him?
He's a friend from prison.
This is another world, okay, boy?
They won't put up with lowlifes here.
You wouldn't be here either
if I knew early on.
How do you know he's a lowlife, boss?
Are you kidding me? He's clearly a psycho.
Boss, please don't do this.
You'd be ashamed of your words
if you knew Baran.
And the worst of lowlifes
and murderers are out there.
You know it too.
Have some mercy.
Veli.
Play this for us. It's his birthday.
- Right away.
- Thanks.
Why did you lie?
To tell you I'm glad you're here.
Cheers.
You've given your heart
To your very first summer fling
Once you've drunk
An entire bottle of mastic rak
You wept a little too
Fall in love for my sake too
Don't put life on hold
If you want to settle for so little
Just live your life
How many of us are there
Who defend love?
Wow, brother.
You'll have your first heartache soon.
You'll talk my ear off about it.
We'll come here and get smashed.
I can tell you'll be a handful.
What's this?
- Heartache.
- Oh, really?
What do you think? I made it.
Very nice.
Esat.
Let's sort that shop out
first thing tomorrow,
so I'll stop worrying.
At least I'd have a place to stay.
Not comfortable at your brother's?
What's up with you?
You're sulking. What's the matter?
The landlord.
Well? What about him?
The jerk changed his mind.
Someone offered more money.
So, he doubled the down payment.
He'll sign with the other one
if we don't pay.
- Who's the other one?
- Just some guy.
He put in a big offer though.
How am I supposed to pay double?
Fuck this shit!
- Don't get upset, man.
- How can I not?
This is all I've saved.
That shop was my only way out.
Do you know how much crap
I had to deal with so I could have it?
Okay, please calm down.
We'll just find another shop.
- Maybe you should talk to your brother.
- Esat, don't push me.
I will. He's a big shot engineer.
- He can help you.
- He should help himself.
No, he should help you. He owes you.
- Stop it.
- Why, man?
What's with the pride?
You spent half of your life in prison.
You've suffered so much.
Stop carrying all this weight.
Just let him pay.
Your brother owes you his life, okay?
And you're worried about a fucking shop.
I owe you too.
I owe you big time.
I swear, we'll sort this out.
Don't you worry.
- What are you doing here?
- Waiting for you.
Come, I'll show you my photos.
Can we do it later?
I'm exhausted.
Exhausted? What does that mean?
It means I'm tired.
Come on.
Look, this is Zpzp.
Dog took it at the park.
But it's okay. I still have Balm.
I carry Balm with me all the time,
so no one takes it.
Good girl. Don't ever let Balm go, okay?
Lidya, are you out there?
Baran, can we talk inside for a second?
I'm home.
Dad's here!
Baran, you know we're leaving.
I wrote down some important stuff.
Here's some of it.
Aynur comes in to clean
every Thursday at 8 a.m.
Leaves around 6 p.m.
She doesn't like men around the apartment.
So, plan for that.
Trash goes out at 9 p.m.
Absolutely no smoking.
The people here are particular.
Please use a mat for pans when you eat.
Oh, and most importantly
If anyone asks, you came from Germany.
Not everyone needs to get it.
This is so embarrassing, Arzu!
Did I say something wrong, Fatih?
Honey, sweetie,
could you go to your room for a bit?
You said you wouldn't fight today.
Go on, honey. To your room.
Come on, my love.
What's so embarrassing, Fatih?
Besides you yelling at me in public?
Put that list down.
I swear, you're getting on my nerves.
You think he's an idiot,
and you need to tell him
how to use a towel or how to eat?
Is he stupid?
Arzu, don't test my patience, okay, woman?
I've got things to say
if we're talking about patience.
Baran, you look like a nice kid, dear.
I wouldn't want
anything bad to happen to you.
So, you shouldn't be seen
with your brother outside.
God forbid you'd get a knee injury.
Arzu, please.
Seriously, don't make me do
something I'll regret.
Sure.
You know all about regrets.
Baran, can you give us a minute, bro?
- Arzu and I need to talk, clearly.
- Why?
Isn't he family?
He should learn everything.
Baran, this one's even worse
than the guys you did time with.
He'll hang you out to dry.
He did it to his partner,
his painter, his workers.
I'm just telling you
in case you want to trust him
and go into business with him.
He can't even afford his kid's tuition.
Oh, we're behind
on the rent for this apartment too.
That's how bad we're doing.
You think he'll help you? Yeah, dream on.
I'm not expecting any help.
I've rented a shop.
I'm starting my own business.
So, I don't need your husband's help.
I'm just here to get my stuff.
Baran, brother. Just
Arzu must have gone mad.
She's going through something.
Don't even listen to her.
You're the one I can't stand.
Leave me alone. Go deal with your family.
Okay?
Where did you sleep last night?
At the beach. Don't worry about it.
What's that car?
Some rich old guy brought it in.
Inherited it from his dad.
Let me have a look.
What are you doing today?
I'll check the job ads.
And maybe some lease transfers.
- You?
- I'll be working.
The guy said he'd pay good money
if we could fix up this antique.
Boss got all excited, of course.
We've all joined forces and gave it a try.
But to no avail.
May it rest in peace.
What are you talking about?
This is too precious.
It's been two years, man.
What are you guys doing here?
- Boss.
- Well?
Didn't I tell you not to touch it
without my permission?
- Boss, let him have a look. Baran's good...
- Enough of this.
We have work to do.
I'll keep in touch.
I don't want to see him here again.
- Good day, sir.
- How can I help you?
I was wondering.
Are there any shops for rent around here?
There was a spot on the next street.
I'd check it out.
- That street?
- Yeah, that one.
Thanks. Have a nice day.
- Good day, sir.
- Thanks.
- Are you moving out?
- No, I changed my mind.
- Okay, thanks. Have a nice day.
- Good luck.
Don't worry, man.
There are tons of spots around here.
We'll find one.
So many options. We'll figure it out.
Wait.
What's this place?
Abandoned.
They'll tear it down soon.
Are you sure?
Don't you see, man? It's in ruins.
There's no owner?
I don't know.
Let's go.
Baran, sir?
Remember me? Selami from the shops.
- Oh, yeah. Why don't you have a seat?
- Thanks.
Esat sent me.
It's a go for that shop of yours.
But how?
The landlord felt guilty.
Well, you deserved it anyway.
He sent me to get a deposit
and have you sign these papers.
- He just decided to be a good Samaritan?
- Onur's like that.
He got excited at first,
but then it felt wrong.
He's actually a good guy.
He couldn't come, so he sent me in a rush.
But if you've already found a place
No, I haven't.
Let's have a look.
Here.
I can't believe it.
All right.
- Now what?
- You'll sign right there.
- This is great.
- And if I could get a deposit.
This is all I have. Is it enough?
Congratulations.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
- See you.
- Take care.
Hello?
Yes, this is he.
Are you the uncle?
How is she?
She had a minor procedure.
She's okay now, but we lost her mom.
My condolences.
She's been asking for you.
And her dad?
How is he?
The doctor will inform you.
You can see your brother if you like.
Yes, I understand, Duygu,
but you know about my situation.
I assure you, I'd like to help, but...
- I mean...
- As I said, my dad has Alzheimer's.
- I have three kids.
- Okay. It is what it is.
There's nothing I can do.
Okay, thanks.
I'm sorry.
- Thanks.
- Good night.
What did she say?
- Lidya's granddad has Alzheimer's.
- And?
She has to take care of him
and her three kids.
So, she can't help.
Geez! She's supposed to be her aunt.
What about the shop?
I haven't heard from your guy.
Let's figure this out quickly
and get into that.
I haven't even met the landlord yet.
What guy?
The guy you sent.
Was it Selami? Your friend?
The landlord felt bad?
I paid the deposit and signed the papers.
I didn't send anyone, man.
The landlord already signed with someone.
And I don't know anyone named Selami.
You've been conned.
I signed a contract with that guy.
Oh, man. Oh, brother.
How could you fall for this?
She had a minor procedure.
She's okay now, but we lost her mom.
She's been asking for you.
My dad has Alzheimer's. I have three kids.
There's nothing I can do.
Remember me? Selami from the shops.
If I could get a deposit.
The landlord already signed with someone.
And I don't know anyone named Selami.
How could you fall for this?
Lidya.
Uncle.
No, don't get up.
Don't get up.
Balm's gone, you know?
So is Mom.
Do you think they're together?
I don't know.
My condolences.
What does that mean?
It means "I wish you a long life."
I wish you a long life too.
Uncle, you're not going
to join them there, right?
Dad's going to be okay, right?
Don't go, Uncle.
Please don't leave me alone.
Please don't go. Stay with me.
THE OBAN FAMILY
You screwed me over for years.
And once again, I can't do anything.
I'm helpless because of you, again.
What's up?
I'm not talking to you.
Why not?
Where have you been?
I had to take care of something.
And I have a surprise for you.
Aren't you curious?
Look.
Balm missed you so much.
- Aren't you happy?
- That means Mom has no one with her.
She's all alone there.
Of course she has someone.
- She...
- Who?
Uh
She has angels with her.
Promise?
Look, Balm's sad
because you haven't hugged it.
I'm sorry, Balm.
Uncle, give me your hand.
Esat, can you come to the hospital
and look after Lidya?
I need to deal with the shop.
Thank you. I owe you big time.
Good day, sir.
Thanks. Where to?
- The auto shop area.
- Sure.
What's up, bro? Did you wait a long time?
Here.
- What's this?
- Have a look.
Amount payable
outside of insurance coverage
410,000 liras?
What's this?
What is it?
They're saying, "You slept, ate and drank
at our hospital for 15 days,
and this is how much you pay for it."
For fuck's sake.
Maybe your brother has it.
Big shot engineer and all.
- He doesn't! He's bankrupt.
- How can you be so sure?
Let's find his lawyer or his accountant.
Let's ask around.
I know he doesn't. His wife said so.
"His wife said so."
350,000 to go.
Now what?
We're gonna sell your brother's wreck.
What else?
What do you say, efik?
- I'll give you 70.
- What? You're killing us.
- I hope work's going well, efik.
- Thanks, sir.
What, are you ripping people off again?
It's worth 70 tops.
I'll do 90 as a favor to you.
Seriously?
What's this, a Fiat 124? Are you blind?
Give us a better offer.
Go ahead.
Musa, sir, 120.
efik, if you rip these guys off,
they'll turn around and rip me off.
150,000.
Not a cent more.
150 works. It's a deal.
This is the first time
I've seen him do someone a favor.
You're in luck.
- I'll take that.
- Here.
- Thanks.
- Good luck.
Esat!
Yes, boss.
- Give it here.
- What?
My cut. I get 10%.
No, boss, we need this money urgently.
It's not even enough.
Give me my cut.
Do it, Esat.
That leaves us 135,000.
My God.
He's as bad as ever.
It was for the hospital.
His brother's fighting for his life, boss.
He's on his deathbed.
Boss, that shop was his only dream.
The poor guy has been saving for years.
And he lost it in a second.
He's left with nothing.
Please, I haven't asked you
for anything, ever.
Maybe you should think this over.
At least give him a job
until he gets back on his feet.
- And you got a cut thanks to him.
- Thanks to him?
The idiot was being ripped off.
I helped him out.
Why do you hate him, boss?
Just let him work here.
You're paying peanuts anyway.
Get back to work.
Boss.
Please.
You don't know
what he and I went through in prison.
You don't know, boss.
No, you haven't cleaned them.
They're filthy.
Cafer, sir, I swear I did.
I trimmed them too.
Come, I'll show you how to clean yourself.
- Come on.
- Sir.
- Sir.
- Let him go!
- Come.
- Move.
Sir, please. Sir.
Get over there.
We
We were surrounded by monsters.
Have some mercy.
Okay?
Everyone makes mistakes that they regret.
No one knows this better than you, boss.
What do I know? What are you saying?
- Just what needs to be said.
- What the hell?
You don't know what that guy went through.
But I know what you went through
and what you put people through.
I'll fucking kill you.
I get it, you buried yourself
along with your family.
You've no goodness left in you.
You're no help to anyone
and you don't want to be.
Don't think that guy and you are alike.
Because you're nothing alike.
Musa, he's not a murderer.
Okay?
That guy did years to save his brother.
Take that into consideration.
Give it some thought.
Just think.
Mr. Baran, he's not well.
It's not a good idea to transfer him now.
I wish we could keep him here.
If you kept him here,
our whole bloodline
would have to pay off his debt.
It doesn't matter
if he's in a public or private hospital.
He's a vegetable.
Dad!
Where are you taking my dad?
Leave him alone!
Shh. All right, calm down.
They're taking him to a better hospital.
- No, I wanna go with him.
- You're not. Let go.
- Dad!
- Lidya, stop! Stop torturing yourself!
Come on, Lidya.
She has no one to look after her, Doctor.
I can't do it either.
And you know the state my brother's in.
Given her current state, it's crucial
Lidya stays with someone she trusts.
Psst.
What's this?
We worked so hard to fix it, man.
We should get to enjoy it, shouldn't we?
- Jump in.
- I'll drive. Move.
How did it go? What happened?
Nothing unexpected.
What does that even mean?
I'll explain later.
Not now.
I didn't go to school.
I don't have a job.
I'm just a good-for-nothing guy anyway.
But family is important.
Would you trust me with a kid?
Can you bring yourself
to send Lidya to the children's shelter?
Can you bring yourself?
Can you bring yourself?
What are you doing, man? Baran!
I'm broke.
- Slow down!
- I'm just a good-for-nothing guy anyway.
And now I worry about my daughter.
- Uncle.
- Baran!
Do you agree to send her
to the children's shelter?
We look alike.
She'll be nothing like me.
Lidya.
Uncle.
Lidya.
Whoa!
What happened to our stuff, Uncle?
I had to sell it.
It's okay.
Do it for Balm too.
I wish we had a TV.
I'd put on my favorite band for you.
What's your favorite band?
BTS.
What kind of name is BTS?
They're Korean.
- Do you speak Korean?
- Nope. Do I have to?
Right, you don't.
I know who your favorite singer is.
Dad told me.
Who is it?
If you ask me, fortune and luck
They're as elusive as love
Let go of the ones who leave
Welcome the newcomers
No other way around it
Let's eat.
Welcome the newcomers
No other...
You stay here.
Good day, son.
You must be Fatih's brother, right?
He told me about you.
First of all, I'm sorry for your loss.
Thanks. How can I help you?
And I wish your brother a speedy recovery.
Thanks. Anything else?
I'm sorry to bother you,
but I'm your landlord.
I hate to come at a time like this, but
The court reached a decision last week.
You should have received the notice, but
Of course, you weren't home.
You need to vacate the flat in two days.
They haven't paid rent in months,
let alone at the new rate.
I see. Could you give me some time?
If you pay the back rent
and agree to the new rate, you can stay.
But if you move out now,
I'll forget about your debt,
and we'll part on good terms.
It's up to you.
Sir, you let it slide all this time.
If you give me more time,
I could get a job, and
Okay, but please hurry up.
- Okay, thanks.
- Have a nice day.
He's actually a very good man.
Only Mom doesn't like him.
Come on.
You know, he and I feed the cats together.
- Want some yogurt?
- Yes.
- Is this okay?
- It is.
- Water?
- Fill it up.
- You can take those.
- Okay.
- You know what?
- Yes?
I was watching X-Men with Dad once.
To see who the world's strongest hero is.
Guess who he picked.
- Spider-Man?
- No.
- Iron Man?
- Not him either.
- You know who it is?
- Who?
The Repairman.
He made it up. It's not real.
But it is.
It's you.
Dad says there's nothing you can't fix.
That's why he calls you The Repairman.
I wish you could fix Dad too.
Like you fixed Balm.
TIRE TECH WANTED
AUTO SHOP BULLETIN BOARD
Good day, sir.
- Thanks. Welcome.
- Thank you.
Are you hiring?
No, brother.
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
Good day. Is Esat's not in?
He has some errands outside.
I sent him out.
Thanks. Have a nice day.
What's up with you?
Any luck with jobs?
No.
No luck.
People get scared
when they hear about my past.
So don't tell them.
Because if you don't,
you'll forget it too.
No way.
Why not? It would be so easy.
It wouldn't be.
People see it in my face
even if I don't tell them.
When you take a life,
you carry that person's coffin with you
for the rest of your life.
Sir.
So, keep your advice to yourself.
I couldn't carry them, though.
I couldn't carry the coffins
of those I had killed.
I drank too much that night.
I must have passed out.
When I came to
The house was gone.
I burned it.
Along with the people inside it.
I was the sole survivor.
Semra used to tell me
I could never quit smoking.
But boy, did I.
In one night.
Sorry for your loss.
See that?
What?
This.
If you fix it, you've got a job here.
I wouldn't bother with that.
But you know what?
I'd give my life for that car.
Fine.
You have four days though.
Hey! Who are you?
Get out from under there!
- What on earth are you doing, man?
- Fixing it, but this one's hard.
For God's sake.
You've really lost it.

Poor guy's wasting his time.
And he's not going to get hired either.
Why are you stringing him along, boss?
Can't you see he can't do it?
You wanted me to let him work and I did.
I did, but I didn't tell you
to make him work for free. Please.
At least he's getting fed.
Boss, stop wasting his time
and let him get a proper job.
Please, let him go.
Come on, baby.
Come on, tiger.
Come on, baby. Bismillah.
Oh, yeah! Yes!
Are you serious?
I can't believe you, man!
For fuck's sake!
Fucking hell!
It's all right, bro.
You did your best. At least it worked.
You get 5,000 per week.
You worked hard today. Get some rest.
Start tomorrow.
But it stopped working.
I knew it wouldn't work.
But you didn't give up.
Thanks.
Man!
Stop, man. My back's hurting.
You turned him into mush in two days.
Props to you, man.
I can fix it for real.
I'll look at the ignition system tomorrow.
You're insane, man.
Roll me a cigarette.
And get me some coffee and water. No!
You know, Mom wouldn't let me have this.
Dad bought it for me secretly.
Wait, you're gonna get dirty.
And you said I smelled bad.
Look.
I didn't have these.
- Do you like them?
- Yes.
- Go away.
- What are you doing?
It was my turn. You cut in.
Why did you push me? I didn't see you.
Are you okay?
Good girl. You didn't let yourself cry.
Or he'd have thought you weak
and that he was the shit.
He really is shit.
- No swearing. It's not nice.
- You said it.
Grown-ups can do it sometimes,
though they shouldn't.
Anyway.
Look, I may not always be with you.
So, you need to learn
how to protect yourself, okay?
Come on, get up.
Make fists.
Now, hit me.
Uncle, I can't hit anyone.
But you need to learn.
Come on, it's fine.
I can't. I promised Mom.
You won't be able to. Try.
See?
Don't leave any gaps. Boom.
You have to block me.
Hey!
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
Come on.
Okay.
I'll get this.
- Wait, I'll carry that one.
- Can you?
Let's go.
Is she gonna be able to sleep?
She'll have to.
We'll have to make do. God bless you.
You two be careful.
Musa will fire us both
if he finds you here.
No, don't worry.
There's some work next door.
I'll work nights and make rent.
You should get some sleep too.
- You'll be beat.
- No.
I'll come get Lidya
first thing in the morning.
I'll take her to the hospital.
The nurses will look after her.
The hospital? Are you crazy?
All those sick and dead people.
She'd be miserable.
What can I do? Do I have another option?
True. You have a point.
Lidya, honey.
I'm going to go now, okay?
I'll get you in the morning.
Esat will take good care of you.
Don't be scared.
But there are cobwebs there.
Where?
Up there.
It's okay.
Spiders have a life too, you know.
They have families too.
Right? Shouldn't they get to live?
Fine, they can live.
- Where are you going?
- I'm here to work, sir. Toilet cleaning.
Okay, go ahead.
Move.
Is something the matter?
No.
Psst, listen.
Come get a line if you're bored.
No, thanks.
Suit yourself.
Sorry, brother.
I can't fit this junk anywhere.
Apologies.
I apologized, didn't I?
You did. Now, go.
Excuse me?
Go do your thing.
- You're telling me to go?
- I am, brother. Let's leave it at that.
What if I don't want to?
Let's not make a scene.
Let's do it. I want a scene.
Dear God, they say you're great.
You can make anything happen.
So please make Dad get better.
He's such a good dad.
Let Uncle Baran be okay as well.
He's a great person too.
But he got beaten up today.
Make his wounds heal quickly too.
He takes such good care of me.
So, I'm trying not to look sad.
I behave myself.
I don't even cry,
so my uncle doesn't leave me.
Let us never be apart, please.
And take care of Mom up there, okay?
Or she'd be scared, all alone.
Amen.
You wait for me here, okay?
- I'll come back for you. And Balm
- When?
- Huh?
- When?
I'll come back before sunset.
Okay? Balm can stay with you.
Go over there.
Go on, sit.
Come on.
No visitors. Please leave.
Uh, I
She misses her dad so much,
so I had to bring her.
And what are those?
We brought some stuff her dad might need.
In his state?
Can't she stay here for a bit?
And sleep?
I'll pick her up later.
Okay, fine.
We can keep her for a few hours,
but you need to get her after that.
All right, thanks.
Good day, boss.
Sorry I'm late. Won't happen again.
What's up with you?
Did you get in a fight?
No, I didn't.
I fell coming down the hill.
Wait.
I think this is yours.
I must have dropped it. Thanks.
Take the day off.
Take today off.
You're distracted.
You'll make things worse.
Go on.
Here.
Where are we going?
You'll see it soon.
Ugh, I need to take a shower now.
My head's itching.
Okay, honey.
Where are we?
Hang on.
- Give me your hairpin.
- What for?
Hi, kitty.
Come on, Lidya.
Why are we here?
To take a shower.
But it's not our house.
We shouldn't be here without permission.
Yes, it's wrong, but
Sometimes, to get to the right,
you have to go through the wrong.
And you didn't do anything,
your uncle did.
What if the owners come back?
They won't.
I heard them talk to the neighbor outside.
They'll be away for two days. Relax.
But we'll apologize to God later, right?
Totally.
Come here.
Have some food. Here.
Stop it. My back hurts.
Someone's calling.
Here.
It's your Uncle Esat. Hello?
You have to come here, now.
- Calm down. What is it?
- The landlord's here.
He's waiting for you. Hurry.
- Come on, man!
- Okay, we're on our way.
- We got it, Lidya.
- What?
- We got it. Quick, get ready.
- What?
We need to hurry. Come on.
Careful.
Excuse me.
Who are you?
I'm the gardener. And you?
Really? Nice to meet you.
I've been the gardener around here
for the last 20 years.
Run, run.
Run, run. Come here.
Come. Let's go left.
Run, run.
Come on. Run.
Shh, shh. Come here.
Wait here a second.
They went that way.
Where are they?
Let's get him.
Where did they go?
I told you we shouldn't break in.
We didn't apologize to God either.
- I'm glad this happened.
- Okay.
You're right. Let's apologize now.
Dear God, we're so sorry.
We made a mistake.
But we were dirty and needed a shower.
- That's why we did it. Happy now?
- In someone else's bathroom.
Okay, it won't happen again.
We promise. Amen.
All right?
Dad would never do something like this.
And we wouldn't have to run like this.
Esat.
- Let's check that space out.
- Oh.
A bit late for that.
The guy waited for ages and left.
The realtor called.
I guess there's another taker.
He just wouldn't listen.
- Ugh.
- It's gone.
Goddamn it.
Lidya, honey, let's go in.
I'll take that.
Musa isn't in today.
He went to the cemetery.
Ugh.
Can I get some water?
It's not working.
I can't do it.
I'll take her there
once she gets some rest.
Knock it off, man.
Don't rush into this. Just wait.
Rush into it? Are you crazy?
I made her break into someone's house.
I made her take a shower
in someone else's bathtub.
We got caught.
We barely got away.
At least she'll get fed there.
I don't know.
She'll have a proper bed.
I tried, but it's not working.
I can't do it, Esat.
- I've made her miserable.
- Uncle.
Lidya.
Look, I found us a place to stay.
How did you do that?
Thanks to him.
He gave me the keys.
He says he's your boss.
Oh, fuck.
Don't swear in front of the child,
you brute.
Sorry, boss.
I'm sorry, boss. Lidya is my niece.
My brother's not well...
All right, all right.
You're giving me a headache.
The keys are for the storage back there.
It's been locked up for a while though.
Get in there and clean it.
Whatever you need to do.
So you won't have any excuse
to be late in the mornings.
And there's no spider family there.
They like Esat's room much more.
Look.
A friend for Balm.
Balm won't be lonely either.
Did you talk to him or something?
No, why would I do that?
I don't know. He's old.
Probably started fearing God.
I'll go find some cleaning stuff.
I'll be back.
Look.
I haven't drawn Dad yet though.
I'll do it when he comes home.
I'm sorry.
I said bad things to you.
You did something wrong for my sake.
Are we okay?
We are.
Anyway, I need to clean this place now.
Come on.
You clean it too. Help me out a little.
Or that man will get mad at us.
Boss.
Yeah?
We got it all wrong.
Is that so?
I'm serious.
The problem isn't
the ignition system or the coils.
What is it then?
I'll tell you.
It's the old gas in the tank.
How long has it been idle?
How did you figure it out?
We've all been thinking
and none of us thought of that.
Balm told me.
Oh, you.
We need to empty and clean the tank.
Then the owner can come pick it up.
Good night.
I'll be damned.
So you do have an owner after all.
FOR RENThey say some things can't be fixed.
Like the soul of a child,
where every part is worn down,
broken, out of order.
That's a lie.
If you know where it's broken,
you'll know how to fix it.
Whoa.
What is this?
Boss will fire you all if he sees this.
- Are you insane?
- No, he bought them himself.
Let's drink to the Mustang.
Is it gone?
Wow! It is.
Boss.
For you.
- No, I'm still working.
- Have it, man. It's okay.
What about you?
You know I swore off it.
And this is your cut.
Thanks.
- I'll be back. Hold this.
- Where are you going?
Oh, boss. Catch.
Hey.
Life may seem like a dead end,
but sometimes it opens up a new road
where you least expect it.
The road is long,
but it's full of hope.
LDYA CAR-TAL AUTO
Good evening.
Thanks.
Whoa, man.
What did you do?
It looks great in here.
It does, but there's still lots to do.
I'm gonna set up a room up there,
just like yours.
And that can be Lidya's room.
What do you think?
Sounds good, man.
I'm sure you'll pull it off.
How are you doing money wise? Got any left?
It'll all work out. Don't worry.
I'm figuring it out.
You fixed this place up in a month.
Respect.
Be careful with the wall.
I don't want it nicked.
Or I'll hit you, bullseye.
Don't worry, we'll be careful.
- Look, Esat.
- Yes?
- You need to hold it like this.
- I am.
- Thanks, boss.
- Enjoy.
Appreciate it.
Esat, you know what?
I talked to Dad. He's coming home.
I heard, honey. Your uncle told me.
- Musa, sir.
- Yeah?
Uncle doesn't like tea.
He likes plain coffee.
Just plain Turkish coffee.
Oh, yeah?
Then His Highness can make it himself.
But then he won't remember it
for 40 years.
- Says who? Where did this come from?
- Who do you think?
Balm, of course. Who else?
Balm says so?
Lidya. Come, honey. Let's keep playing.
Throw it. Show me again how it's done.
You have to hold it so. But you're not.
Baran, I'm here in the area.
I'll be there in two minutes.
Okay.
Esat, can you bring Lidya's stuff?
Lidya, honey.
It's time for you to go.
What did we say?
No crying.
Exactly. No crying.
- Come with us.
- But we talked about this.
You can come back whenever you want.
Everyone here loves you.
Uncle Esat, Grandpa Musa.
What are you doing, boy?
You're gonna rip the bonnet off.
I'll come visit you anyway.
Move.
Musa, sir.
Yes, sweetie?
Godspeed.
You can't say that, sweetie.
You're the one who's leaving.
I should say it to you, right?
My love.
Come here, my darling.
Cutie.
Baran, brother.
Thank you so much for everything.
Come on, my love.
Lidya.
This isn't goodbye.
I'll come visit you all the time. Okay?
We'll take strolls in the park.
We'll have burgers.
Okay, sweetie?
Balm is staying with you.
- But what will you do without it?
- Balm will take care of you.
Or I won't rest easy.
Look.
This is my lucky stone.
Keep it with you, okay?
Okay.
Come.
Come, my love.
Stop!
- What is it, Lidya?
- Stop!
I love you, Uncle.
I love you too, so much.
So much.
Goodbye, Uncle.
Come.
6 MONTHS LATER
Lidya, I know who these people are,
but who is the brunette?
Your girlfriend.
I don't have one.
You will, soon.
Balm and I talked about it.
I have someone in mind.
That's all I need now, is it?
We can't let those good looks go to waste.
Uncle, stop eating already.
Why should I?
We're going home.
The oven is broken.
Take a look.
Dad's starving.
He'd never let himself starve.
And I don't know anything
about fixing ovens.
You fixed that whole abandoned building.
How do you know the word "abandoned"?
Come on, please. I'll help you too.
Uncle, you know what?
Dad taught me how to make coffee.
I'll make you coffee at home.
Then you'll remember me for 40 years.
I won't remember you for 40 years,
I'll remember you for 40 thousand years.
Okay, let's go.
Let's not let this go to waste.
- We'll feed it to the cats.
- Bravo.
Our next-door neighbor, Gizem.
She loves cats too.
And she makes delicious cookies.
Is that so?
Does she happen to be a brunette?
Yes.
Let's go say hello if she's home. Can we?
Say hello?
Yes.
Now?
When we get home.
Does she live alone?
Yes.
Okay, we'll see.
I haven't met
a better repairer than her so far.
I can only hope
to become as good as she is, one day.
I'm not alone anymore,
nor am I abandoned.
ABANDONED MAN
Life's not so bad.
