Hasbihal

Hasbi, an obsessive man in his 30s, lives with his family. Hasbi spends his life reading books, which gives him considerable knowledge of Ancient Greek and Ottoman Turkish. Caught between his tactless father and devoted mother, Hasbi falls in love with his neighbor, Müjgan. However, Müjgan does not share the same feelings for Hasbi. Müjgan is in a relationship with Tanberk, a wealthy and spoiled man, but she ends the relationship once she realizes what kind of person he is. Unaware that Müjgan has left Tanberk, Hasbi devises a plan to separate them.

Directed by Elife Özker, Hasbihal leans on a strong ensemble — Ayhan Rüzgar, Betül Çiçekli, Mehtap Bayri — 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 comedy titles of 2019.
