Münevver has left her fate in the hands of a stranger in order to save her family. Her journey, which begins in a small coastal town, carries the dark secrets of the past and the ruthless reckonings of the future to the glittering world of Istanbul. In this world, Türkiye's biggest star Kenan Akın is in the leading role behind the glittering scenes, with his own loneliness and addictions that he cannot escape. But neither the glittering scenes nor the dark secrets can hide the manipulative power behind Kenan which is his mother Keriman Akın. While Ahsen Çevik's pen searches for the truth of the story, she faces a different secret in every line. While Özge and Gani Ceylan are in the middle of a difficult love story, tossed between family ties and individual ambitions, they find themselves at the center of these secrets together with Münevver.

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.
