Tahsin is a respected police officer who lives a happy life with his wife and daughter Gamze. Despite earning little money and struggling to make ends meet, this does not hinder his happiness or his love for his job. He will retire soon. His assistant Aydın, who is as successful a police officer as he is, has a romantic relationship with Gamze. One day, the experienced commissioner finds himself pursuing drug dealers on orders from his superiors. Tahir, the leader of the drug gang Tahsin had previously arrested, devises a revenge plan with his associate Naci. Naci makes Gamze fall in love with him. He takes her to a house under the pretext of introducing her to his mother. The woman he introduces as his mother, Nalan, is actually Tahir's associate. They give Gamze drugs.

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.
