The neurotic Fikret and tavern singer Solmaz, whose 21 year long relationships end on the same day, meet through a funny coincidence. When Solmaz's daughter Zeynep decides to marry her lover from Adana, the ever-fearful Fikret ends up having to play the role of his life. Intended at first to be kept in the family, the wedding becomes a much bigger event upon the insistence of the groom's relatives. Can our heroes come to terms with the traditional Adana family who carry guns and own a kebab restaurant chain, and see the wedding through without mishaps?

VIBE

This film feels like a warm hug from a slightly eccentric friend. It's a gentle, often funny exploration of modern family dynamics, navigating awkwardness with a surprising amount of heart. Perfect for a cozy, low-key watch.
