The film tells the story of a man who is betrayed by his closest friend while trying to marry the woman he loves. Emrah, a taxi driver, wants to marry his fiancée Zeynep as soon as possible. However, he cannot find a rental home that fits his budget. As a last resort, he asks his boss, Asım Bey, for a loan, but he is unsuccessful. A few days later, he learns that Asım Bey has died. He thinks that Yusuf, the son of his close friend Asım Bey, will now help him. However, instead of helping Emrah, Yusuf will cause him to break up with Zeynep.
Directed by Ümit Efekan, Sevdim leans on a strong ensemble — Emrah, Gülten Ceylan, Müdrike Coşansu — 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 drama titles of 1989.
