Düş Kırgınları

Kuzey runs a hotel called Karayel in Eski Foça with his friend Sami. In 1998, a young and beautiful woman named Şafak comes to Eski Foça to conduct research on Greek villages and stays at the Karayel Hotel. Şafak falls in love with Kuzey, but Kuzey only cares for her. Şafak leaves Kuzey five times, but always returns… On her final departure, she disappears while driving away. All searches prove fruitless; Şafak is missing. Kuzey continues searching for Şafak for five years with his friend, the fisherman Yunus… In 2003, Çiğdem arrives at the hotel. Çiğdem, who is Kuzey’s brother’s assistant, takes on the hotel’s debts and saves it from bankruptcy. During this time, Çiğdem also develops feelings for Kuzey. This only serves to remind Kuzey of Şafak once again. After Fisherman Yunus tells him that he found the remains of Şafak’s car underwater, Kuzey leaves the hotel. He goes to the same place to meet Şafak…

Directed by Selim Güneş, Düş Kırgınları leans on a strong ensemble — Mert Tanık, Denise Ankel, Bahar Yanılmaz — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 2018.
