Synopsis

The story of a family of nine who migrate to Istanbul from Yozgat. Thanks to their diligence, Hacı İlyas and his family wish to quickly expand their business and open a grocery store in an upscale neighborhood.

Our take

One of the most astonishing works of Turkish cinema, The Bride is a testament to the commanding orchestration of Lütfi Ö. Akad. The first part of the acclaimed “Migration Trilogy,” this emotionally vivid melodrama offers a kaleidoscopic portrait of the conflict between the traditional and modern.
