Leyla has become a stranger to her culture as a result of her family's wrong education. During her musical education in Vienna, she meets Mehmet, who is deeply connected to his roots, and they begin a relationship.

Sinekatalog’s take

A woman alienated from her culture meets a man deeply rooted in his in Vienna, and their romance tests East and West. The sentimental tone fits a classic homeland-longing story. For fans of 1970s Turkish romance.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
