The film tells the story of Ferit and Tülin, whose paths cross because of a will. Ferit cannot claim the inheritance left to him by his uncle because he cannot prove it. His uncle's other relatives have divided everything left to Ferit among themselves. Ferit decides to go to Istanbul to find the will. He prepares to set sail in the evening. On the same day, Tülin, who is getting married, discovers that her fiancé has been cheating on her. She leaves a letter for her mother and runs away from home. She hides on Ferit's boat as he sets sail for Istanbul. Ferit, who finds Tülin hiding, mistakes her for a thief. He treats her harshly throughout the journey and makes her do the work on the boat. When they arrive in Istanbul, Ferit learns that his relatives plan to hire a married couple as servants for the mansion. He asks Tülin to help him. Tülin and Ferit, pretending to be married, will try to find the will.

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.
