Ayşe is the child of a poor family. Her father, Rıfat, has been in prison for many years. After her father is released from prison, he forces Ayşe to beg and steal. Fatoş is the spoiled child of a wealthy family. Her father died in an accident. She lives with her mother and grandfather. One day, she sneaks out of the house to play outside. While walking on the street, she encounters Ayşe's father, Rıfat. Rıfat mistakes Fatoş, who resembles Ayşe, for his own daughter. He takes her home by force. Ayşe, meanwhile, is caught stealing by a man. While chasing Ayşe, the man ends up at Fatoş's house. The gardener mistakes Ayşe for Fatoş and takes her inside. The two children unwillingly switch places. They explain the situation to their families, but no one believes them. This mix-up will change the lives of both children.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
