Plot

Bihter, who is desperate for love, sees Adnan, a wealthy and respected older guy, as a way out of the stereotype that society and her materialistic mother have given her. But she soon discovers that she is not satisfied with his attention and has other needs.

Sinekatalog’s take

A young woman desperate for love marries a wealthy, respected older man, then discovers that his attention cannot satisfy her. The adaptation of a classic Turkish novel feels thin and melodramatic. Only for viewers who like soapy period romances.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
