The film tells the story of a mother who has lost her child. After losing her husband in a traffic accident, Güzin is left alone with her physically and mentally disabled son Sedat. She spends a long time looking for a caregiver to look after Sedat. All the caregivers she finds refuse to work because Sedat is disabled. Güzin locks Sedat in his room and leaves him alone at home while she goes to work. However, one day when she is called to the hospital for an emergency, she forgets to lock the door. When she returns, she finds her son’s lifeless body. All investigations determine that the death was the result of negligence. Therefore, Güzin is found guilty. However, Güzin, who does not believe the verdict, begins searching for her son’s killer.

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.
