Turkish delight

“Unutursam Fisilda” (“Before I forget”), which is directed by Cagan Irmak, is centred on a beautiful singer. The first part deals with the young, small-town student Hatice, who is inspired to pursue her passion for singing when she meets the dashing Tarik. Unknown to her, her serious-minded sister Hanife, is also attracted to him. Hatice and Tarik run away to Istanbul to pursue their singing dreams with his friend Erhan, and soon, she (with the new name of Ayperi) climbs the highest pinnacles of success. But it brings both highs and lows. The second part of the films deals with Ayperi returning to her family-home, when she is old and retired. She is having Alzheimer-like memory lapses, cannot continue with her singing career, and comes home to rest and recuperate. Her sister Hanife is furious, bitter and unwelcoming. As the sisters ruminate over the past, they slowly come to a greater understanding of each other. The final scene is a memorable one, as Ayperi decides to make a last appearance on stage, to a sell-out crowd. An amazingly poignant self-discovery follows, for both the sisters.
The screening will start at 3pm and is supported by the Embassy of Turkey, who will serve snacks and drinks after the screening.
