Don't get all worked up.

Think of your blood pressure.

Drink some water.

Did you know about his wickedness?

Suzanne, answer me.

Did you know what your son was doing?

No.

Goalie!

Following the pitch invasion

which caused the match to be suspended,

the Turkish Football Federation

has announced

that Trabzonspor's match on Friday

will be off-Limits to men.

Trabzonspor will be the next team

to pay to a solely female crowd.

Women only for the home match

against Galatasaray.

Women know how to support their team

and make plenty of noise...

We have to go to that match!

In your dreams!

The most devoted supporters

are already queuing for their tickets.

I was here at dawn.

-You waited for 4 hours?

-Yes.

I'm grateful to the men!

What's going on?

Coming to the match?

-Are you going?

-All the girls in the village are.

They've organised a bus to take us.

Where does it go from?

In front of the cafe, at 4.

We'll say we're sick.

They'll think we're in bed.

I'm in!

When did you start liking football?

I don't care about the match,

I want to get the hell out.

We can make heads

to put under the covers.

It hasn't even got any hair!

Quiet!

We can't go that way

in broad daylight.

And it's a long way down.

You're mad! They'll skin us alive.

At least something will happen.

-I'm stuck!

-What do you mean, stuck?

-It hurts!

-Push yourself.

-I can't!

-Why can't you?

-Get out!

-I can't!

Get out!

Lale's got no b*obs

so she can get through.

It's not your b*obs,

it's your fat bum jammed in there!

Be quiet!

Up here.

Give us a hand.

-Hurry up!

-I've got you.

Can you give me a hand?

Go on, Ece.

-Nur won't get up with her fat bum!

-Shut up, shorty!

Pancake chest!

Don't push!

Come on, Selma, hurry up!

Wait for us!

Stop!

It's all your fault!

If you hadn't been scared

of a fly...

It was a great big wasp!

You can't even walk properly!

Stop it, Lale! She fell.

What are you doing

in the middle of the road?

We missed the bus

for the match in Trabzon.

Help us catch it up.

Are you mad? No!

-Take us!

-No way!

-Please!

-No.

Stop!

Thank you so much.

Erol, the cable's too short.

Are we going to miss the match

because of a cable?

What's the matter?

What the hell?

There's Light at Durmus Emmi's.

We'll drink here after.

I only found out later

what Aunt Emine did for us.

Quiet!

The fallout from our escape

wasn't what we expected.

Stand up straight.

Put your sleeves down.

Show your face.

That's good.

Your hair needs fixing.

Done it?

Ready?

We're going out for lemonade.

Don't drag your feet.

We'll sit here.

Come here a second.

Wait...

Walk over to the fountain

-and back again.

-What for?

Just go and walk

while I order the lemonade.

She wants us to drink here?

It's a foot fountain!

Grandma started by showing us off.

A few days later some workers came.

Press down hard on the rug.

Lale, do you hear me?

Couldn't you have talked to me

about it first?

You're not always here.

I called the workers.

They're raising the walls a bit.

Now the house

really did look like a prison.

Get this ball out of here!

Play somewhere else!

Grandma, we've got visitors.

Visitors?

Do your hair.

And go get dressed.

Sonay? Selma?

Look how you're dressed!

Put some clothes on!

Bare feet too!

Hurry, Lale,

you come and get dressed too.

Quick, quick, quick!

It's so hard to raise children nowadays.

That's true.

Here she is.

God bless her, she's beautiful!

She's one of a kind!

Sonay, will you serve the tea?

Grandma, I want a word.

Excuse me, pleased.

I Love Eking.

If you try to marry me off

to anyone else, I'll scream.

What?

All right!

All right, all right.

But if you want to see him again,

he'll have to ask for your hand.

Finally Selma will serve the tea.

A beautiful girl too.

You Like her?

Yes, God bless her.

She's one of a kind too.

Go on, serve the tea.

Osman, the lady's son,

has just done his military service.

I'd love all my granddaughters

to be married

while I'm still alive.

What is the young man doing now?

Welcome, Osman.

Thank you.

Come and sit here.

Do you know each other?

By sight.

How are you?

Good, and you?

Very well, thank you.

Do you like her, Osman?

They're still so young and shy.

But they'll grow fond of one another.

With time, God willing.

Shall we ask the men to join us?

To settle the matter.

Right now?

Why not?

The children seem to like each other.

Welcome.

Good evening.

Go and fetch some more chairs.

It seems the children like each other

and the women are agreed.

With God's blessing

and the Prophet's word

I ask for your daughter's hand

for our son.

Very well. It's agreed.

It's agreed.

Osman, your ring.

Congratulations!

At least that was settled.

And while we were at it...

We could watch some matches together.

Who do you support?

The national team!

Do you drink alcohol?

No.

With God's blessing

and the Prophet's word,

I ask for the hand of your daughter

for our son,

with your full consent.

If God wills it,

we have nothing to say.

Two down.

Lale, I have to take

your measurements too.

-Grandma...

-Yes, my child?

Where do I put these?

In Sonay's chest.

Those are Selma's.

We'll keep these for Ece's wedding.

-Ece's wedding?

-Of course.

All About Sex

Do I really have to sleep with Osman?

Straight away?

Why are you so worried?

You're not a virgin?

Of course I am!

You can tell me.

No, honestly.

Listen...

Me and Ekin make love

but I'm still a virgin.

How?

We do it the back way.

The back way?

So I stay a virgin

and no chance I'll get pregnant.

If my mother had a boat,

she'd sail it to me

If my father had a horse,

he'd ride it to me

If my brothers and sisters

knew where I am

They'd come looking for me...

They're coming!

Come on, girls!

They're here!

Get ready.

Where are the veils?

Sonay!

-Where are you?

-I'm here.

Put your veil on, they're here.

Where's the veil?

Hurry up!

Hanife!

Put her veil on, quick!

Erol?

Are you coming?

-Welcome.

-Wait a minute!

Wait.

At a wedding,

the girl's family plays hard to get.

Sit on those chests, girls.

Don't surrender too easily.

Now we're playing hard to get?

My love!

What's the matter?

If you don't want to marry Osman,

run away.

How?

Just get in a car and go.

Where?

To Istanbul, like everyone.

It's

And I can't drive.

Goodbye.

Stop it, you'll make me cry.

It was the last time

we were all together.

-Did it hurt?

-Yes.

-What was it like?

-Bumpy.

Aunt Emine said it'd be hard at first,

but that I'd get used to it.

Did you bleed a lot?

Not at all.

Osman, my son, we're waiting.

Osman, are you going

to show us the sheet?

Coming!

I swear I'm a virgin.

-So where's the blood?

-I don't know.

Show us the sheet.

Just a minute!

What do I tell them?

Where is it?

Good evening.

We just married our son

and the girl didn't bleed.

Your husband doesn't seem very romantic.

I don't know him that well.

You weren't a virgin, then?
