That'll stay be

I slept with the entire world.

Are you sure?

-About what?

-Sleeping with the entire world.

I must have slept with someone

and forgotten.

-Your hymen's right here.

-How?

It happens.

It's just the way you're made.

It'll break sometime.

With your husband, or giving birth.

But I can see it there.

It wouldn't have resisted

''the entire world''!

Why do you say things like that?

I don't know.

It's late.

I'm tired.

When I say I'm a virgin,

no one believes me.

Why won't you all leave me alone?

-What's going on?

-They've come to ask for Ece's hand.

Tell them,

''You want coffee? Get it yourself!''

Then slam the door and go.

Open this.

Did they bring it?

Lale, what are you doing?

I'll slap you! Get out!

Don't walk on the biscuits!

Put that salt down!

Be quiet!

Don't push me.

Ece is one of a kind.

She's so helpful.

Thank you.

Elegant...

When it was Ecos turn,

at first she went along with it.

Then she started behaving dangerously.

Another match?

Where are you going?

I'm leaving.

Going where?

Istanbul.

On foot?

Get in, I'll take you home.

No way.

You're right.

It'll only take you

about nine or ten days.

And you're in luck.

Muddy slippers

are all the rage in Istanbul.

Open up!

Maybe it was the fresh air, but it felt

Like returning to the nut-house.

I used to kiss

the soles of my mum's feet.

She made a fuss about it.

I said,

''Mum, don't pull your feet away.

''That's the fragrance of paradise.''

Sometimes she cried.

That's how mothers are.

Coming for a swim?

Easy! You'll end up

a fat cow at your wedding!

Some will understand, others won't.

Feminists won't.

They refuse motherhood.

One,

two, three!

I'm going to dive under the water.

Don't spit at me!

I'm down really deep.

Lale, where are you?

I'm coming to find you.

Look, I found a seashell.

Listen.

Not in front of my door!

You've put bars everywhere.

Aren't you coming back to school?

I'm going to the bank. Stay here.

What's that?

-Shall I beat those boys up?

-No.

Hang them up by their feet?

No, don't bother.

Where are you going?

Across the street.

Gaven TraveI

Istanbul, Ankara, Samsun

Warn me when Errol comes back.

Why are you out of the car?

Now we're here,

can we have an ice-cream?

We don't have time.

Later.

I leave you two minutes

and everybody's out.

And why did you close the windows?

Ece?

I want you!

Is that you, Ece?

It's the guy who got in the car.

I've been taking to my mates

about you all night.

Come into my arms, Ece!

I want you!

Idiot!

Did he follow us?

How does he know where we Live?

I toady him.

Erol, do you hear that?

There are people in the garden.

Go and see.

Are you mad?

Get the hell out of here!

Gris?

Stop!

Teach me how to drive a car.

I've tried Loads of times.

I press down, the engine revs

but it doesn't move.

Show me how to do it.

I cued get in big trouble

hanging about with you.

And me?

You think I should be here with you?

Turn the wheel...

Nice and genii.

Come off the brake.

Well done.

Don't let the clutch out suddenly.

Do it gradually.

Accelerate a bit.

Not all at once!

That's it.

What's this?

The horn.

Watch it!

Accelerated. More!

Very nice.

Huge progress with your shoes, at Least.

Women must be chaste and pure,

know their Limits,

and mustn't laugh openly in public,

or be provocative with every move.

Women must guard their chastity!

Where are the girls who blush

when you look at them?

What's this?

A bunch of these!

Can you read between the Lines?

What's going on?

Leave the tabbies.

Go away!

All right.

Finish your meal.

Serif, get the girls away from here!

Darling, we're going.

Selma, your husband's waiting too.

Lale...

Thank you.

Don't you want to leave?

Where to?

We could go to Istanbul.

Istanbul...

I want to get out of here.

If we get caught, they'll murder us.

We'll do it right.

No one will know we're gone

until we're far away.

What have you done to your hair?

It's hot.

Get up and take the iris out.

They're hot.

What were you doing?

I asked you a question!

Stop that! Stop it right now!

Not sleeping?

I was thirsty.

Not sleeping?

Yes, I am.

It's nice to see you

working hard like this.

You do it really well.

You're a woman now.

It'll soon be time for you to marry.

-What?

-You're a young woman now.

I got married when I was your age.

There were special circumstances too.

Married?

Me?

-Yes, you.

-Marry who?

There'll be plenty of suitors

once you're ready.

I didn't know my husband at all.

But I grew to Love him.

It'll be the same for you.

You'll fall in Ive.

You fall in Love easily at your age.

You're joking, right?

No.

Your son has a very good job.

Nur, sit next to Balent.

Balent will be in the army

for a year and a hafiz.

When you're married,

you'll live with his parents.

They'll be

Like a mother and father to you.

She won't need that.

She can use this one.

All ready.

Welcomed.

Welcome.

What are you doing?

Open the door!

We're playing hard to get!

Girls!

-What are you doing?

-You want to marry him?

No.

Then help me move this.

Open the door!

Maybe they have a surprise for us.

They should have followed us out.

Where are you?

Everything's fine, don't worry.

Let's make ourselves comfortable.

They'll join us later.

It's all the excitement.

It happens sometimes.

They'll be out soon, don't worry.
