The movie is about the experiences of a young girl with heart disease and her boyfriend who tries to save her. Mahmut and Nazlı, who live in a small town, are counting the days for their wedding. Nazlı has a disease whose cause is unknown. Immediately after the engagement, the couple went to Istanbul for treatment, settled in a house there, and started working in a factory. Meanwhile, as a result of the tests performed at the hospital, it is revealed that Nazlı needs serious heart surgery. It is not possible for Mahmut to provide the money necessary for the surgery. At that time, a news he saw in the newspaper pushes Mahmut to make a plan. If the plan is successful, Nazlı's life will be saved. However, in this case, the two young people will have to be separated.
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.
