Our take

A satirical look at overbearing parents and the arrested development of young adults, Can Kılcıoğlu’s offbeat romantic comedy approaches its characters with a warmth and joy that exude from the screen. The chemistry between the two leads, Tülin Özen and Serdar Orçin, gives it all extra heart.
