After the death of a veteran lutist, a star songstress calls on his relatives, and a long chat with his sister spurs the singer to reassess her friendship with the musician. Flashbacks limn the duo’s growing attraction, a love founded on mutual artistic interests.

Türkan Şoray, one of Turkey’s most celebrated actors, delivers a transcendent performance in this quietly powerful film. She transforms a tender story of camaraderie into a many-layered exploration of love, music, and artistry, and in so doing creates a timeless cinematic treasure.
