When I heard the concept of the film, I'll be honest I wasn't that interested.

But, a moment in this film made me realise I was watching cinema. Thank you, Turkey, for this film. It was a treat! Now time to tally all the times someone called it 'About Dry Glasses.'
2 Hours of gripping drama, the final hour is happy hour from the director.
FADE OUT.
