On the Water Surface (Su Yüzü)

Miss!

This is the last stop.

We have arrived. This is the last stop.

- Last stop? - Yes.

You were supposed to drop me off earlier.

I called out, but you didn't hear me.

Deniz?

Deniz!

Sweetie!

We came to pick you up, but you weren't there.

We kept on waiting.

Turns out Miss Deniz was already home.

Pass me your plate for the salad. - No.

I can't eat that. - Why?

I don't eat cheese, I'm vegan.

I made some pastries since you like them. Take some.

Mom, actually, I can't eat that either.

I've been eating gluten-free lately.

What does that mean? You can't eat anything.

You've got some new eating habits?

Not eating cheese? I'll be damned.

Darling, young people are trying such different diets.

I used to have my tea without sugar.

So, tell me. How did you meet?

- Tell her. - No, you tell her.

- You tell it much better, Tulin. - You tell it well too.

One day, I was driving.

I saw someone far away, drenched completely in blood.

Some guy looking around in a daze.

As I got closer, I saw that it was a man

with a wounded lamb in his arms!

I'm that man.

He's trying to put the lamb on a scooter.

I took them in the car and drove to the vet.

All lives matter was our maxim. We saved the animal.

It felt like we've always been together, right?

What did you do to the lamb once it recovered?

Did you eat the animal?

No way!

- Of course not! - Deniz.

We let it loose.

Deniz.

Why didn't you turn on the lights, sweetie?

Huh?

I brought you some towels.

You miss it here?

What about the galleries? - Shall we buy my return ticket?

I'm still waiting for a response. So

should we buy my return ticket, Mom?

The return ticket...

Sure, but...

I mean, let's have the wedding first.

Right? We'll sort it out later.

Deniz.

I'm leaving you the house, sweetie.

Suat and I decided. We've talked.

After the wedding, I'll be moving in with Suat.

I'm leaving this place to you. After all, it's your daddy's legacy.

I'd want it to help you.

Help me how?

I don't know. That's for you to know.

So, how did you like Suat?

Suat...

He seems like an all right guy.

He's all right.

You'll get to know him better,

but he's all right.

He says he'll take you for a ride on his scooter.

Don't look at me like that.

This place changed a lot since you left.

It'll be nice for you to see it. Huh?

A bit young, isn't he?

Well, you must be tired.

Mom!

No internet at home?

Used to have it. I had it shut down since I'll be moving.

Use my cell phone. Here you go.

It'll be of use.

Use it.

These must be dirty.

Yeah, they are.

Hello. I could only get back to you just now.

There were too many applications.

We had to proceed with other artists.

Please try again in the next submission period.

Have a nice day.

The plumbing will be replaced, the ceilings are leaking.

So are the bathrooms, the washrooms, and the floors.

This is how we lived for years.

You should have got it fixed, Mom.

You should have got it fixed, Mom.

How was I supposed to deal with it on my own? You try some.

- What flower is that? - Wedding.

- What? - It's for the wedding.

Suat gave me the seeds when he proposed.

So, I said, let's plant these,

and grow our own wedding flowers.

It's very beautiful, isn't it?

So?

What are you doing today? What do you have in mind?

I don't know, maybe I'll go out for a walk.

I was so scared you wouldn't go out like the old days.

That was the old days, Mom.

It's over now.

This is bug-infested.

- Mom? - Yes, sweetie.

Do you need any help?

I mean, with the wedding? Huh?

No, thank heavens all is set for the wedding.

Okay, anything else?

I'm almost packed, Deniz.

That closet is full of your dad's stuff.

Have a look when you get around to it.

Set aside what you want to keep, and discard the rest.

That's your father's armchair over there.

Get it reupholstered, and it'll be good as new.

Okay then. I'll be off, Mom.

We also need to alter the dress you'll be wearing for the wedding.

I thought you looked chubbier on our video calls.

I'll pick out my own dress, Mom. Thanks.

Girls and I have a fitting today. You should come.

Three o'clock.

I don't want to, Mom.

This is all you have to do. You've got no other business.

Three o'clock!

- Beautiful, isn't it? - I bought this. It was a size 44.

I couldn't find another dress. I said, Senay, help!

But it looks great. God bless.

- How do you like it? - It's great. I loved it.

See how that is.

- Did you like it? - It's very pretty.

Sweetheart!

Look at you! You're skin and bones.

Deniz! You couldn't find anything to eat in the whole of France?

Welcome, sweetie. - She doesn't eat.

It's how the youth is. They want to be thin as rails.

- Welcome, Deniz. - What about this veil?

Senay, you put that veil on your wedding dress.

It didn't fit, right?

Deniz? Deniz. Should I put this on?

Okay.

Nah. Take this.

- Take that off. - Let's make an updo.

Deniz.

Wow, Deniz!

Stand up straight, your hump is popping out.

Can we make it a little shorter at the end?

It will be too plain, it will lose its flash.

That's the thing about the dress.

It flows like water, beautiful. Let it go.

Mom, but I'll fall. Please, trim a little at the hem.

Can't you just grin and bear it, Deniz?

It is so beautiful.

You look like a fairy. You're none the wiser.

- What should we do now? - Leave it.

Good, good. I love it.

Hey, look.

As if they live to spite us.

What will happen to this place?

No idea.

You know, work and stuff.

Until recently I was working.

Yeah, you have quit.

Don't look at me like that.

The locals are curious about your Paris adventures.

We were upset after your breakup.

We were looking forward to having a French groom here.

Don't even ask...

You started smoking.

I've had some changes in my life too.

Not as much as you.

You miss it here?

I don't know.

Everything is both the same

and

different.

Mom's leaving me the house.

What's your plan?

No idea. Sell it, I guess.

What would you do?

Hell if I know.

Last time we were on the same page was in high school.

I don't know what to say.

Did you make these?

What happened? Are you surprised?

No, I'm not. You were always talented, but

you've improved a lot.

It's just crockery, it's no big deal.

Selen, you're an artist!

Can you not exaggerate, Deniz?

No, it's important. Don't say that.

These are really nice.

There is the Deniz I remember.

The dramatic Deniz, exaggerating everything.

I don't do it anymore.

They're only good for decorating the house.

Why don't you?

I mean

I could if I wanted to,

but I like doing other things more.
