The film tells the story of a young girl who secretly becomes an actress behind her brother's back. Mehmet runs a coffee house in one of Istanbul's suburbs. Mehmet, who is engaged to Ayşe, the daughter of grocer Hatice, cannot manage to come up with the required dowry. Mehmet's mother, Fatma, works as a seamstress at a theater. Mehmet's sister, Zeynep, decides to help her brother collect the dowry. To do so, she starts working at the theater with her mother. At that time, a big musical is being performed at the theater. Shortly before the musical, starring Erol and Meral, is set to premiere, Meral announces that she is leaving the show. Erol and the theater owners listen to Zeynep's voice and like it. As a result, they decide to cast Zeynep in the lead role. However, this situation must be kept secret from Mehmet.

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.
