Synopsis

It tells the story of two lovers who cannot be together. Ibrahim earns his living as a truck driver. Ceylan is the daughter of Bekir, a wealthy landowner. Bekir does not want his daughter to marry a driver. The two lovers elope and get married. Ibrahim accepts an offer to transport goods to Syria because it pays well. The job will last eight months. However, due to a mix-up, Ceylan receives news that İbrahim has died in a traffic accident. When Ceylan returns to her father's house, she learns that her father has also died. Ceylan, now alone, attempts suicide but abandons the idea for the sake of the baby she is carrying. A difficult process begins for the two lovers, who are unaware that the other is still alive.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
