Gülsoys, one of the leading families of Cappadocia, came together after Ateş returned from America. Ateş did not bow to the overwhelming authority of his grandfather Ömer and left the house. After many years, at the request of his mother Gülfem, he returned to his home with his brothers Yaman and Okan to take over and expand the family business from his grandfather. Now is the time to unite for Ateş, Yaman and Okan. After his brother's return, Yaman decides to propose to his lover Feraye. When Yaman was a child, he secretly bought the family heirloom Sapphire ring from his mother and proposed to Feraye. While Feraye and Yaman are counting the days to get married, confessing their great love by risking everything, a tragedy upsets all the balances. Feraye and Yaman are about to get lost on dangerous roads full of love, passion, revenge and tyranny. Ateş will both win new enemies and confront his brothers with the radical decisions he takes to protect everyone he loves and his family.
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.
