Plot

The film tells about the struggle between two men who are in love with the same woman. Ahmet and Aziz fish. They both fall in love with Mary, the nephew of the fisherman Veli. Mary's heart is also in Ahmet. However, his uncle Veli, who raised Mary, owes to Aziz's father. Aziz's father threatens Veli Reis to give Mary to his son. If he doesn't, he says he will seize his house and boat.

Sinekatalog’s take

Two fishermen compete for the same woman, while a debt threatens her uncle's home and boat. A coastal Turkish melodrama of rivalry and honor, it will satisfy viewers who like classic sea-and-love dramas.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
