Pita Hall (2025)

[bunniefuu]

[people chattering]

[person, in Turkish]

You see, Kalender.

You're a local. We like you.

But unfortunately,

it didn't work out.

You know, your father was

the owner of the shop.

But when he died, you mortgaged

it and then you lost it.

There were debts. I had to.

And you don't have any securities

registered in your name,

so the loan is denied.

Yeah, bad luck.

You've had your tea.

It's good tea.

Yes, it is.

You drank it.

Shall I go?

There's no tea left.

Then have a good day.

What's this?

Pita. I brought it for you.

Oh, thank you.

It's good with tea.

Enjoy it.

[signal alerting]

[announcer] Attention.

One of the most beloved

members of our city,

Sezgin Yre, has passed away.

May God have mercy on him.

BREAD AND BAKER ASSOCIATION

His funeral will take place

at the municipal cemetery

following the afternoon prayer.

Oh.

Where are you going, Kalender?

[Kalender] Oh, God.

Did you hear, Mehmet Abi?

Oh

KALENDER PITA HALL

Oh, God. Yeah.

Hello.

Dad, where have you been?

I've just finished my business.

- Have you heard the announcement?

- No, I haven't.

[sighs] Sezgin is dead.

Oh. May God have mercy on him.

Amen. Has anyone called?

No. Why would they call?

I want to know if they ordered

pita for the funeral, baby.

- Ah. No, Dad, no one called.

- [scoffs]

Sezgin had a very wide

circle of acquaintances.

Where's the new guy?

He quit, Dad. He

texted me this morning.

- Another one?

- Well, Dad, we demand too much.

What do we demand, baby?

He has to work in the

kitchen and wait tables,

and he has to mop

the floors and so on.

You know, back in the day, we

even used to wash the carpets.

[chuckles] I used to

trim my grandpa's nails.

Once, I trimmed them so short, he

couldn't shape pita dough for two weeks.

Oh, Dad. Shut up for God's

sake. It's disgusting.

- Hello.

- Hello. [chuckles]

I'm here to order pita

for Sezgin's funeral.

Really?

What is it?

I guess you're glad he's dead.

[stammers] No, of course not.

He was so young.

Ninety-seven years old.

Really?

He looked 91 at most.

He was so healthy.

He was sick for 24 years.

That formidable man

Weighed merely 36

kilos in his last days.

He looked healthy to

me, I'm not gonna lie.

Let's just say, may

God have mercy on him.

How much pita bread

are we talking?

PITA HALL

[customer] Thank you, Chef. Bye.

Come again. Let's keep in touch.

My aunt is not well these days.

Dad, what are you saying?

I didn't mean anything bad.

Hello, Cevdet. Where

are you coming from?

Chef, uh, there's a new

place called Pidburger.

We were just there

for the opening.

What's a pidburger?

Dad, it's a pita

and a hamburger.

They've opened a lot of places in

Istanbul. And they came here too.

Uncle Kalender, it's so good.

My dad even says, "Skinny

a*s is ruined now."

Son.

Who's Skinny a*s?

Who's Skinny a*s?

Skinny a*s.

Is that what you guys call me?

How many years has it been?

Well, eight or nine years, Chef.

Did you know about this?

- I'll check on the customer, Dad.

- Excuse us, Chef.

May God give you

plenty of profit.

Go on, Son.

How would you hide something

like this from your father?

NO DELIVERIES

And it's not skinny. Not at all.

Pidburger!

- [festive music playing]

- [people clamoring, cheering]

[Kalender] What's going on?

Pidburger

New taste is here

Pita is old news

This is the future

Pidburger

Two tastes in one

Put your hands up

Iznik won't stop

Come again. Come again.

Put ketchup and mayonnaise

in these. Okay? All of them.

Sorry, brother.

Brother, watch out.

Whoa!

Brother Kalender.

My brother. [laughs]

Don't you remember me?

I don't.

I'm Sermet.

We grew up together in this

neighborhood. Neriman's son.

I don't recognize you.

My mom was a teacher.

My father was a body

shop owner. Hilmi.

Doesn't ring a bell.

I had a sister, Glnaz.

Virgo sign.

I remembered those two,

"Virgo" and "sign."

[chuckles] My sister's

sign was Virgo.

I don't know anything about Virgo.

I'm sorry, I don't recognize you.

The boss said we

should open a branch.

I said if we were going to open a new

branch, let's open it in my hometown.

And thankfully he didn't refuse.

[breathes deeply]

Is there anything like home?

Good luck.

[Sermet] Thank you.

I have a shop over there.

Kalender Pita Hall.

Don't I know it,

Kalender. Don't I know it?

You've forgotten all about me.

How's the place?

The place is a paradise.

Your place is paradise.

Kalender, you don't remember me.

Wait!

Yet I'm gonna

Put it in

No, thanks. I'm fine.

Kalender, I'll throw it down.

I'll stomp on it and both of us will

be smote. You'll be the one to blame.

- I don't want it.

- I'll throw it down.

- I don't want it.

- I'm telling you, we'll be smote.

- Bro...

- I'll throw it down.

- Okay, give it to me.

- That's it.

Goodbye.

Thank you.

That's enough. Drop it.

Dad, this is delicious. I didn't

expect it to be this good.

Here, you try one too.

I don't want to.

How many would you eat a week?

One, maybe two.

Two?

Or one.

One?

Once a month.

- Have you seen the shop?

- I saw it this morning.

It's like a wedding

hall, full of colors.

They don't have any flavor so they

have to do that to compensate.

You're right, Dad.

There are more waiters

than customers.

This town is too small

for a place like this.

They'll be finished in a month.

Just watch, they'll be finished.

I'll definitely

recommend it to everyone.

This is great! I'll definitely

recommend it to everyone.

1 MONTH LATER

They're not finished.

I am surprised. It's incredible.

Welcome, Mesude.

Thank you.

Welcome, Ms. Mesude.

Thank you. I brought

the ingredients.

You always bring your own ingredients.

What don't you like about mine?

It's not that.

What's not to like?

It's how my mom wants it done.

What should I do for you?

Whatever you want.

I mean with the ingredients. You want

pita or lahmacun? Or something else?

Oh, I'll leave it to you.

Uh

There will be around ten

or 15 guests this evening.

A suitor is coming to see me.

Is that so? I wish

you all the best.

What shall I say?

To whom?

To the suitor.

Should I say yes or no?

It's up to you, my dear.

What business is it of mine?

My dear? [gasps]

Then I'll say no.

I'll pick it up around

7:00. Keep up the good work.

Oh, my God. Is she crazy

or what? What's this?

Look, baby.

Do they accept ingredients

at Pidburger? Huh?

Do you really think she's

worried about the pita?

Don't be silly.

That's not the point.

What was I saying?

They won't accept

this, but we do.

I resent our people.

They didn't appreciate us.

But they will return.

Just watch, they'll be back.

Dad, for God's sake, not a single person

has entered the shop since morning.

- God!

- [shouts]

Dad.

- Son. My child.

- [coughs, groans]

[Kalender] Brother.

Huh? Brother.

- Are you okay? Here.

- [Kalender] Look at me.

- I'm fine. I'm fine, I'm fine.

- Get up. Get up and take a breath.

What the hell did you do? Huh?

- Ouch. Ouch.

- [groaning continues]

Get up. Are you okay, son?

- I'm fine. I'm fine. Oh.

- Oh. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Look at this place.

Kid. Oh!

- What happened to your face? Ow, ow, ow.

- [gasps]

- What? What's wrong with my face?

- May God bless you.

Oh!

I'm fine. Normal.

This is how you look?

Yes.

Oh.

Uh, what's your name?

- I'm c.

- What's c?

[groans] It's actually nder

Cneyt, but they call me c.

Oh.

I'm really sorry.

If we can't deliver the

order in 15 minutes,

they take it out

of our paychecks.

In my haste, I stepped on

the gas and lost control.

[groans]

What time is it?

I have seven minutes left.

Where are you going?

Let me deliver the order. I

promise I'll pay for the damage.

But she's right. We

can't just let you go.

Sir, I've been late

two times already.

They'll fire me for sure

if I deliver it late again.

Then I won't be able

to pay anything.

[groans]

- Just a second. Here, I'll give you my ID.

- No.

I have five and a

half minutes left.

- Dad, let's call the police.

- Please, I'm begging you.

- Dad!

- They'll really fire me.

- For your daughter's sake.

- What do you care about my sake?

All right, go.

- Thank you. [panting]

- Dad!

But Listen!

[groans]

- Listen.

- Huh.

You know what happens if

you don't come back, right?

What will happen?

It will be a shame.

Thank you. God bless you.

I promise I'll pay. Okay,

I'll take care of it.

- Okay, you just Put on Yeah.

- It's fine.

I am all fine.

- Drive carefully. Don't crash.

- Three and a half minutes.

Three and a half

God bless you. Look, it works.

- Dad, what are you doing?

- [c] It works! It does!

The fear is enough

for him. Don't worry.

Oh, my brother!

Oh! I hope you're well.

I'm sorry.

I was trying to

deliver the order.

- That's what happened.

- Oh, my dear brother!

I'm so sorry for you.

Of course, the order was

delayed. Three minutes.

- Five.

- I swear it is three minutes.

Three or five, who cares?

Don't worry about it.

Thank you very much, boss.

In my haste, I crashed

through the shop window.

The place is in ruins.

A lot of expense.

Oh!

Can I get an advance, please?

Of course you can.

Won't you, dear brother?

Boss.

You really are a king.

You really are.

When can I get it?

Never.

- Why not?

- You're fired.

Fired?

Your words gave me

hope. You laughed.

You were sweet.

That's my style, dear brother.

Well, I've worked for almost

a month. Give me my salary.

The contract you signed says that

the first month is a free trial.

What am I, a VPN?

What free trial?

At least you tried it. You

won't have regrets, you know.

You won't keep wondering,

"How would my life be different if I

had become a delivery boy at that shop?"

Are you kidding me?

Give me my money, boss.

Don't yell at me!

Don't yell at me!

We're having a civil conversation

here. Don't get on my nerves. Get lost!

[groans] What are you doing?

No one can take away my rights.

Get him.

Meatball, don't come at

me. You're my roommate.

Hey! Hey!

TAEKWONDO COMPETITION

1ST PLACE IN TURKEY

[piano music playing on TV]

Ah [sighs]

[actor, Kalender] It was so

beautiful. Why did you stop?

[actor 2, Kalender]

Because that's all.

I need that warm glow in

your eyes to write the rest.

Welcome home, dear wife.

To our happiness.

[actor 1] Well, Haldun

(DADDY, REMEMBER YOU PROMISED

TO SMOKE ONCE A DAY:)

Hey! Why are you

snooping around the shop?

No, man. No way!

Cc?

Not Cc. It's c.

So it's fixed now?

It is.

What are you doing here?

I got fired.

I came here to say that I will find

a new job, and I'll pay you back.

At 3:00 in the morning?

I thought I'd come early.

Where are you staying?

The office had arranged a

place. We were staying there.

When I got fired,

they kicked me out.

Don't you have anyone here?

No.

Tell me exactly what happened.

The boss fired me unfairly.

And things got heated.

Meatball and Lettuce came at me.

"Yo, Meatball, you were my

roommate. What a shame."

I gave Meatball a little push.

I grabbed Lettuce by the

hair. I pushed him away.

I saw the Pita coming.

You don't hit the

bread, it's a sin.

I held Pita and kissed it three times.

I was going to put it somewhere high.

Lettuce and Meatball

squeezed me between them.

Everyone in the

street was watching.

They beat me up.

[sobbing]

Lettuce hits hard.

Wait for me. I'm coming down.

Excuse me?

I'm coming down.

Wait for me, okay?

Come here.

Come in, son.

- Go in.

- Thanks.

I promise I'll work for free for

two or three months if necessary.

And I will pay my debt to you.

We'll take care of that, son.

Now you can stay here

until you find a place.

It's not much,

but you'll manage.

Why wouldn't it be great?

Look, there's a nice bed.

Dude. Man.

Are you okay? Look out.

- I'm sorry. I sat right in the middle.

- Here.

I'm sorry.

Sir, God bless you.

In this day and age, it's hard to

let a stranger into a shop like this.

No, it's okay.

It's not okay.

What if I'm a pervert?

What if I'm a thief?

What if I'm a m*rder*r?

How would you know?

I am an artisan of many years.

I'm a good judge of people.

I can tell what a person is

like by looking at their face.

You're simply naive.

Okay, I'm naive. But

these are not the times.

- It's not.

- Huh?

How do you know who's who?

You don't.

For example, if I

cut your throat here.

- What will you do?

- Nothing.

In the middle of the night.

- Yes.

- It's quiet.

- Quiet. Uh-huh.

- Huh?

Can anyone hear

you if you shout?

- It's impossible.

- Isn't it?

- Yes.

- They won't.

I've cornered you like this.

- Like this.

- Exactly like this.

- Right? Huh?

- Yes. Yes.

If I grab your arm like this.

[mutters]

Ah! [coughs]

What are you doing?

I was demonstrating.

Are you mad? What were you

trying to do? I lost it.

I'm sorry.

You did me such a big favor, and

I got carried away for a moment.

Don't be silly. Go to bed.

Sweet dreams.

[Kalender] All right.

Have a good day, Cevdet.

- Thanks, Chef.

- Good morning, Chef.

- Thank you, thank you.

- Dad.

- Huh?

- Can we have a word or two?

Tell me, dear.

Did you really hire him?

Baby, he was at the door at 3:00 a.m.

He was looking up at me so innocently.

What was I supposed to do?

Dad, what if he's a thief?

What if he's a psychopath?

What if he's a m*rder*r?

I didn't want to interfere, but

if I were like that for example

Shut up! Don't ever

give an example.

Yes, Chef.

Baby, this child is

naive, believe me.

He was at the door

last night, crying.

Those Meatball and Lettuce

have given him a good beating.

Let's give him a chance.

He has nowhere to go.

Lettuce hits hard, he says.

We'll give him a chance just

because Lettuce hits hard.

Good girl. Let's go out.

Daddy!

We're not going to leave

him in the shop, are we?

Okay, he'll come with us. Cevdet

will take care of the shop.

You put those boxes in

the back of the car.

Cevdet, the shop

is in your care.

- Chef.

- Huh?

When will I get the

payment for the glass?

- Come in March.

- March?

Yeah.

But it's October.

Hey, Kalender. Don't do

this, for God's sake.

Should I lie, Cevdet? Should I

tell you to come get it tomorrow?

You haven't settled

your previous debt.

Okay. I'm expecting some money from

somewhere. I'll take care of it.

From where?

Yes.

- [Cevdet] Yes?

- Come, baby.

- [Cevdet] From where?

- [c] One second.

I don't know either.

Have a nice day.

Thank you.

You get in.

Here we go. Come here.

- What are we going to do?

- Push. Lift.

- Push it?

- Push, push, push.

[grunting]

Stop. Push.

[grunting continues]

One last time. Okay, okay.

Here we go.

[sighs]

Give me the spoon.

Give me the latch.

[sighs] The strap.

Oh.

Chef.

You're sure this

is your car, right?

No, it's Levent's.

- Ooh.

- Here we go.

Kalender.

Since you're borrowing

the car, keep it clean.

When we get out of this car,

it's us who needs washing.

I've even been to the hammam!

Don't exaggerate, guys.

This car is so clean, they point

at it and say it's spotless!

Levent, please! Please!

All right, let's

go. Give me a hand!

Good. Yes.

There's a gearbox

in the back, Chef.

It's usually in the back.

We miss you so much.

SENGL GLLCELI REST IN PEACE

You know that, don't you?

We're fine, though, don't worry. I mean,

we're as good as we can be without you.

- I'm sorry for your loss.

- Thank you.

Mommy.

You know I'm not very

good on the phone.

But just so you know,

every time I get out of

the bath and comb my hair,

I feel your fingers in my hair.

No.

I can't talk, I'm

giving it to my father.

Dad, you talk.

Do you remember? We used to look

at pictures of otters together.

They slept hand in hand like us.

Do you know what this hand

had to go through without you?

Chef.

Don't take this the wrong way,

but what in God's name is Sokomav?

Couldn't you make halva?

Couldn't you make lokma?

We could at least

hand over pita.

The deceased loved that a lot.

That's why we hand it

to people every year.

Dad, do you remember?

Once we gave everyone

cheese chips.

[sighs] She loved

those too. Oh, darling.

Mommy, we're fine.

Everything's going fine.

The shop's a bit

troubled these days.

There's a new shop downtown.

Our business wasn't doing

well. And it got worse.

Why are you telling her negative

things? You'll upset her.

Don't worry, darling. I'll

take care of everything.

Sleep in the light.

By the way, there's been

a hike in electricity

Anyway.

Look, this is our new guy, c.

Dad, don't introduce him to Mom.

What's the big deal?

Let her meet him.

Mrs. Sengl, hello. I'm c.

I've just started work.

I've known Chef Kalender for a day,

but it's like I've always known him.

Uh A person who always

stands up to life.

Of course, your absence

has a lot to do with that.

Now I'll tell you something

to lighten the mood.

Temel went to the

cemetery one day...

What are you talking about?

To change the mood.

- It's changed.

- [grunts]

- Let's go.

- Okay.

See you, Mrs. Sengl.

- Sokomav?

- Give me one.

[sighs]

Bye. I'll come back again. Okay?

But you're hot as always,

I swear. [chuckles]

My dear.

Bye.

Oh.

Shall I put the song on?

Dad, let's not.

I already can't stop crying.

If I hear the song

Your mother's

favorite song, baby.

Okay, we're sad. But shouldn't

we commemorate her like this?

Dad.

Chef.

It's not my place, but

can we not play it?

I can't stand sad songs.

I'm a Pisces. I'm

very emotional.

You stay out of this.

Give me the tape.

- Daddy.

- Can you please give me the tape?

Give me the hairpin.

[daughter sighs]

["lrm Sana"

playing on radio]

[sniffles]

[sobs]

[sobs]

- [grunts]

- Come on. Push a little more.

[Kalender] Okay,

it's in the place.

Hello.

Hello, Mr. Uysal.

- Mr. Uysal is our landlord.

- Oh.

I'm c.

Uncle Uysal, what's

up with the flowers?

Well, you see, when we marry a young

lady, we have to make such surprises.

You know that new shop downtown?

It was left from the

opening of that shop.

I didn't want it to go to waste,

so I thought I'd take it to her.

But let me take the card so

your lady won't feel bad.

"Ponik Autogas Systems,

Cenker Ponik, Nuri Ponik"

Give me that. [scoffs]

Let's have a drink in the shop.

Oh, I almost forgot.

- It's the little things

- Yes.

you don't remember them.

I've put the shop up

for sale, Kalender.

You put it up for sale?

Kalender, you're already three

months behind on the rent.

Either pay the annual

rent or buy the shop.

I have a lot of expenses.

My lady is young,

Kalender. Understand me.

But now

My lady says, "Enough is enough.

How much more are you

going to work at your age?

You're tired of calculating

CPI and PPI every day.

Sell everything and let's

travel the world, my CPI."

Does she call you CPI?

Of course. She's saved

as my PPI on my phone.

True love. I'm gonna cry.

Kalender, I'll give

you three months.

Don't get me wrong,

you have the priority.

My heart is already in favor

of you buying this shop.

What if I can't?

Oh, look.

A bird sh*t on

your shoulder, see?

You're in luck, Kalender.

You're going to buy

this shop. Just watch.

God willing.

[Kalender] Ah. He

sh*t on you too.

It is normal.

My PPI must have gone up. I

won't keep her waiting. Bye.

But, Chef, it is a

big load of sh*t.

- What should we do now?

- Don't worry.

Is it that easy

to evict a tenant?

The new owner can evict us if he

gives us a notice within a month.

Oh.

- We'll sue the new owner, Dad.

- Yes!

It's not going to happen,

baby. Why should we sue anyone?

If we don't get the shop,

we'll leave like gentlemen.

Don't worry, Chef. That

shop will be bought.

We can make great

plans. Follow me.

Come on.

Kalender Chef! The job is done.

It is 14,200 with the old debt.

We're coming, c.

Follow me.

[metal squeaking rhythmically]

Kid, stop this

nonsense. Come on.

Chef, I repeat.

Movement opens the mind.

Is this the opened version?

Dad, why did we follow him like

idiots? Let's go back to the shop.

Cevdet's work is done.

He must have gone by now.

Chef, come and try it.

You'll see the benefit. Come.

[chattering]

Oh, I know. Internet.

- It's already available.

- Not that. Social media.

Dad, what are you doing?

Maybe it'll help us.

I'm going to the shop.

We'll upload attention-grabbing

videos to the shop's social media.

That's what everyone

is doing now.

Don't you see?

All those meat shops, mussel shops,

rice shops have become popular.

I can't do that.

It doesn't suit me.

Let's say we sh**t the video.

Where will we share it?

Doesn't the shop

have social media?

Dad doesn't even want to do food

delivery. What social media?

What?

Chef, what's the big

deal with food delivery?

We'll fix my bike and do

it. It has a tiny fault.

- Tiny?

- Yes.

This place is already tiny.

Everyone knows everyone here.

What am I going to do, deliver

pita to everyone's house?

Right. I have nothing else to do, and

I'll deliver pita to the children.

No way.

[exhaling sharply]

KALENDER - PITA HALL FOOD

DELIVERY IS AVAILABLE

They made nice stickers.

If you embarrass me, I

swear I'll fire you, okay?

We're going to deliver together this

week, and I'll leave it to you next week.

You don't need to

bother. I can handle it.

Let's go, and let's

get back in touch

- with the customers.

- Yeah.

Find out what their problems are, right?

Maybe we're making mistakes. Here.

What is that?

Don't you want us to advertise?

[gasps]

Chef, how long have

you been off the bike?

A long time.

[breathes heavily]

You have five pita and five

ayran. Here's the address.

- Okay.

- Oh, thanks.

- Give it to me. It'll get cold in there.

- In the back Fine.

[sighs]

I feel something warm.

I hope it's the pita.

I hope so.

- Are you ready, Chef?

- I'm ready.

Let's go.

[echoing] Kalender Pita

Hall is at your doorstep.

We're here to explain

pita with the pita.

Give me that for God's sake. We need

to say something more remarkable.

[echoing] Now see Chef

Kalender's package.

Chef Kalender's package is bigger

than before, tastier than before.

Chef Kalender's package.

Chef Kalender's package.

- Oh!

- Don't be silly. Give it to me.

Do this properly.

[singing] Chef Kalender is

coming He gives his pita

When people see it,

they gorge it all

Take this, won't you?

You love the package

Hey, hey, hey

[both] Take this, won't

you? You love the package

- Watch where you're going. Watch it!

- sh*t!

- [laughs]

- We'll die!

[c] I could have delivered it.

That's why I don't do delivery.

This is cold. I can't deliver this.

What's wrong with it?

It's good. It's so crispy.

It shouldn't be crispy.

My pita has to be crunchy.

What's the difference between crunchy

and crispy? Let's just deliver it.

What if someone comes tomorrow and says,

"Chef, this pita is not crunchy at all"

[romantic music playing]

Glsen.

Kalender.

[romantic music

continues on phone]

Excuse me, Chef, they're

calling to order.

[music stops]

c, you deliver the pitas.

Okay.

Then go to the shop.

- Uh-huh.

- [mumbling] Don't say anything to Filiz.

I don't understand, Chef.

[mumbling] Don't say

anything to Filiz.

I don't understand.

[echoing] Don't say

anything to Filiz.

[echoing] I understand, Chef.

I was surprised to see you.

And I was surprised to

see that you came back.

You live in Istanbul.

You got married.

You are very happy.

Are you stalking me?

I would never do that to

a woman. It's not like me.

What do you think

stalking means?

- It's like groping, isn't it?

- [chuckles] Don't be ridiculous.

Some kind of investigating.

Oh. No, I wouldn't call it

investigating. More like, I hear things.

You heard half the story.

I'm divorced. It didn't work.

What can I get you to drink?

I'll have a coffee with

milk. But no lactose.

And you?

Uh, I'll have tea. No glucose.

You haven't changed at all.

[chuckles] Thank you.

No, I didn't mean

it in a good way.

What do you mean?

You're still wearing the same shirt

you were wearing when I left you.

No, this is new.

And I remember your pants.

You wore them to your

grandmother's funeral.

It was a gift from her. She told me

to wear them until they are worn out.

And you did. She

can rest in peace.

Oh, okay.

And the shoes were my aunt's.

Your aunt's?

She was a big person.

She and her husband

shared clothes.

You were always

like this, Kalender.

Someone who can't

let go of his past,

who can't live his own life,

who hates taking risks.

That's why I left you.

I thought you'd changed a little,

but you haven't changed at all.

Never mind.

Please, please don't stop talking.

Keep talking, Sengl Glsen.

Your late wife's name is Sengl.

My name is Glsen.

You didn't even

take a risk there.

Instead of changing wives,

you changed syllables.

Yesterday was her

death anniversary.

Again, I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

You named your daughter Filiz.

So you're still in

love with Filiz Akin.

Let's call it our love.

We were both in love

with Filiz Akin.

If we had a daughter, we even

- Shall we go?

- Let's go.

We've started food delivery.

They'll expect me at the shop.

- I bought a kettle. I have to hurry home.

- Yeah, right away.

Well then, take

care of yourself.

[chuckles]

- Well

- Huh!

- How? Like this.

- Well

Okay.

["Binboganin Kizi" playing]

[music fades out]

I'll be there

tonight, don't worry.

Bring everyone to the table.

Let's talk to the

boss first. Okay?

What is she cooking up?

c. When is my dad coming?

The conversation must

have gotten long.

I know my dad.

He's very upset about this shop.

He is trying to clear his head.

How are we going to buy this

shop by delivering food?

We need a miracle.

Don't think like that. We'll

find a way out of this somehow

[bells tinkling]

Welcome, Chef.

I'm not welcome.

We are rushing everything.

Why are you confusing me with

this food delivery thing?

Dad, why are you saying that?

He's saying it for our sake.

Oh, we're already

defending the gentleman.

You told her everything, didn't you?

Of course you did. Why won't you?

Tell-Tell me what?

You can drop the act now.

You know I saw Glsen.

Glsen?

You mean your

first love, Glsen?

The woman Mom told me about.

Shame on you, Dad.

Yesterday was the

anniversary of Mom's death.

It's a shame. Really.

You didn't say

anything, did you?

No.

Oh, you! What's the point

of being such a good person?

We just met yesterday.

Why are you so honest?

- What do you mean?

- You should have snitched.

She would have prepared herself, had

time to fume and get over her anger.

Damn you and your ways.

Actually, I thought for a moment,

maybe I should tell her, but...

Come on, you can't be a jackass.

You know how to crash into my

shop, but not into my conversation?

[knocking]

[laughs]

- [bells tinkling]

- Have a nice day.

- I wish you the best in your business.

- Thank you.

And you still don't remember me?

What are you doing here?

- How do you talk to a guest?

- But, Chef, you

I don't want to hear it again.

Okay.

- Good luck to you too, brother.

- [grunts]

Kalender, I heard

something today.

They've put this

shop up for sale.

Mr. Uysal has given

you three months.

So?

What about this?

There's no need to wait three

months. You don't have any customers.

It's very difficult for

you to buy this place.

My branch is booming.

I need a second branch.

I'll buy this place. And

you take over as chef.

What do you say?

So you'll buy this place, and

you're going to buy us too?

Wait a minute, you

Or you come too.

Yeah, you come too.

If we need a pita shovel or

something, you can serve.

- [Sermet laughs]

- Do you hear that, Chef?

Okay, just leave this to me.

Look, brother. Don't bother me.

I'll speak so harshly you

won't be able to handle it.

Speak up. Let's hear

it. Say it. Say it.

- I'll say it. I will

- Say it, Chef. Say it. Say it.

- So, here it comes.

- Let's just let it go.

- I'm saying it then.

- Say it.

I'm saying it.

- Get out!

- Excuse me?

Get out!

Get out?

Okay. All right.

All right. [scoffs]

[huffs]

Well, Chef, you

spoke too harshly.

He won't recover for two

days. At least two days.

Five days. He won't

recover for five days.

[inhales sharply] No

sleep for him tonight.

I'm trembling.

He made you talk harsh.

He made me talk dirty. That's

it. He made me talk dirty.

You see? I'm trembling.

Where are you

going? It's bedtime.

Dad, it's only eight o'clock.

Weren't you sleeping

at this time?

Yes, I was. When I was three.

All right. Drink the milk.

You know you gave a whole generation

acid reflux, don't you, Dad?

Can I talk to you for a second?

I'm listening, Dad.

[breathes deeply]

I understand you're angry with

me. You're right, and I apologize.

But I swear, nothing's going on.

We just had a chat as old

acquaintances, that's all.

With your first love.

But you're so obsessed

with small details.

Dad. Yesterday was the

anniversary of Mom's death.

Do you think what

you're doing is right?

Baby, I didn't arrange this to

happen. We met after so many years.

Nothing's going to happen anyway.

But you're right, I'm sorry.

[sighs]

Dad, I understand you.

And you are right.

For years you've devoted

yourself to me, to the shop.

You sacrificed yourself for us.

But try to understand me too.

This situation is more

difficult than I can accept.

You're right.

But like I said, there's

nothing going on.

We just got a date for Monday.

What date?

- The day for the wedding. [chuckles]

- Dad! [laughs]

I have a question. What

will you be wearing?

When?

- At the wedding. [laughs]

- Dad, don't be ridiculous. [laughs]

[sighs sharply] My darling

daughter. I love you so much.

I love you too, Daddy.

I'll get married on

Monday, and you'll see.

God forbid.

What? You don't laugh at jokes.

Heaven forbid!

Oh! Dad!

- Don't. Don't.

- Dad, you overdid it! That's enough.

- [Kalender] Don't you dare.

- Dad!

I swear I'm going to k*ll this guy.

He's doing wrong no matter what I say.

k*lling and such.

Is she a psychopath?

Chef.

You scared the sh*t out of me.

I'm sorry. What's up?

I felt cooped up in

the house tonight.

Oh! Come on. Sit down.

I will.

[sighs]

I'm sorry for today.

I was too hard on you.

No, of course not.

How did it go with Filiz?

We've almost recovered. Nothing

will come of it, anyway.

Tea?

You offer me leftovers?

No. You want me to

pour some for you?

Enjoy yours.

May I ask, how long has it been

since your wife passed away?

It was the tenth

anniversary yesterday.

What do you miss the most?

I'll keep that to myself.

I'm sorry.

There was a time when my hair

started from here, from the eyebrow.

[chuckles]

Now look how my forehead has

opened up. Ten years is not easy.

Think of it this way.

You came out of every fight in

ten years with a clear head.

- [chuckles]

- [chuckles]

You could say that. [chuckles]

Where are your parents?

What are they doing?

My parents are dead.

God rest their souls.

Amen.

I've been a one-g*n

man since then.

- Let me ask you something.

- Yeah.

Is this shop very

important to you?

Very important.

I married Sengl in this shop.

Filiz was born in this shop.

In my father's time, this

was the most popular place.

- Oh!

- Yes,

it was packed from

morning till night.

Then, my father spent all

the money at nightclubs

[chuckles]

First we lost the shop,

then we lost my father.

He passed away.

God rest his soul.

But I had some other

dreams back in the day.

What dreams?

Forget it. The

old days are gone.

I'll go prepare the

dough for tomorrow.

- Let me help you, Chef.

- No, drink your tea.

Chef, over my dead body.

No. No need.

- Please. Over my dead body.

- I'm telling you there's no need.

Look, over my dead

body, but you know how?

Look, I died and no one noticed,

so my corpse is swollen and

swollen and swollen. It is wormy

Okay. I'll shut up.

Call me if you need anything.

Okay, I will.

If you don't, you'll see my dead

body. Okay, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

Oh, God. Come on, pack it

up. Don't be late. Go to bed.

Okay.

[phone rings]

Oh, God.

Incoming call - MOM

Mom Missed call

[dance music plays]

[gasps, breathes heavily]

What is going on?

[sniffs, sighs]

[dance music continues]

- c?

- I'm coming.

[pants]

Sorry. I fell asleep.

Thank God my dad also

went somewhere early.

Oh. Thank God.

c, I didn't thank

you enough yesterday.

For what?

For convincing my father

to make food deliveries.

Actually, I want

to give you a gift.

A gift?

I thought you might use it on

your motorcycle or something.

- It could come in handy.

- There's no need for that.

Thank you so much!

Sorry. I couldn't

wrap it up as a gift.

No problem.

This was my dad's jacket,

but he never wore it.

It was actually passed

down from his aunt.

Your aunt must have

been something else.

If you like it, I can

put it in a bag for you.

- You can wear it.

- I like it. Of course I do!

- The price tag [groans]

- [gasps]

c! c!

[people at market chattering]

I am looking for

- Nice. How is it?

- Yes, Kalender.

Huh?

What?

This belly is awful.

Look. Like this, huh?

- Good?

- [shopkeeper] Let's take this jacket and

- Jacket? It's this belly again.

- Sticks out.

I will pay you next week.

- Okay, Kalender.

- All right, I'll pay you next week.

I swear. Yeah.

- c! c!

- Ah!

- Huh! Huh.

- [c] Oh!

Oh. [breathes heavily]

Come. Come get up.

Get up. Over here.

- Oh. [groans]

- Yes.

- Yeah.

- Oh. [winces]

My jaw is really sore.

I think I bit my tongue. [sighs]

When you make sudden moves

like that I get all jumpy.

I was showing you the tag. It

came off. [inhales sharply]

Anyway, you've had a

taste of my kick now.

It tastes amazing. Just

melts in the mouth.

I'll get you some water. Is

there anything else you want?

Jaw! I can't feel my jaw.

It was already forward,

but now it's shifted like two

millimeters more. [groans]

Do we have a painkiller?

I'll go buy some right now.

[Glsen] Thank you.

Have a good day.

Oh, Kalender.

It's so good to see you. I was

just about to come to the shop.

I was hard on you

yesterday. I'm sorry.

No, don't think that.

I think you were right.

Look. I bought some new

clothes at the market.

[chuckles]

Looks great with

your aunt's shoes.

[both laugh]

- [Mesude] Kalender.

- Oh.

Yes?

I think I'll say yes.

Whatever you say, dear.

Your call.

- I'm leaving.

- Please, please.

Who is she?

I swear she has nothing to do

with me. She's kind of crazy.

- [laughs]

- [Filiz] Dad.

Baby?

Who is this lady?

Oh, she A tourist.

[in English] The person

[mumbles] Called Cinema? No?

[in Turkish] I'm Glsen. Hi.

Hello.

And I am Filiz,

his daughter from my dear father's

late wife whom he loved very much.

I'm very pleased to meet you.

- See you.

- [in English] Goodbye.

- [in Turkish] Dad.

- [in English] What?

[in Turkish] Dad,

what's going on?

Nothing's going on.

We met on the way.

Why are you embarrassing

me in front of her?

Am I embarrassing you?

You, you're not ashamed

of the leek in your hand.

Are you embarrassed

to talk to me?

- Really. Really.

- Is this him?

Everyone's staring at us.

Let's talk in the shop, please.

- What will we talk about in the shop?

- [in English] Please, please.

[in Turkish] Aren't you

the dancing pita man?

What dance, son? What

are you talking about?

Come on, you're him.

Don't lie to me.

What kind of talk

is that, you brat?

Look, you're just playing.

[dance music playing on phone]

Dad.

[diners chattering]

Glsen!

Yes?

I'm Sermet. Don't

you recognize me?

We grew up together

in this neighborhood.

- I'm sorry, I don't remember.

- I had a cousin, Sevval.

[mumbles] You used to

go to school together.

I remember Sevval, yes.

There was a man who

used to walk past us.

He had a really big mustache,

and we laughed a lot. [laughs]

[laughs] I remember him.

I was with you that day.

No. I'm sorry.

I'm the manager here.

Be my guest one day.

- Good day.

- Don't forget. I'm waiting.

- Where?

- I just told you.

I'm the manager here.

Be my guest one day.

Good luck to you.

Who gave you permission?

Master, I shared

it from my account.

How was I supposed to know

it would spread so quickly?

Dad, what's the big deal?

There's nothing wrong with

it. But you do have skills.

I don't have any skills.

You film me secretly and you put it on

the Internet without asking permission.

I wanted to revitalize

social media

Listen, this is the

social media of a shop.

Look. Tendon Hayri, Pixel Nazim.

Split Aysel, Couscous

Skr, Withholding Ayla.

You want a celebrity?

We have that too.

- Who's he?

- Zombie Mehmet.

He was in The

Handle of My p*stol.

He died seven times in four episodes.

Enough is enough. Goodbye, c.

Are you firing me?

I'm firing you.

Okay, Chef.

[bell dings]

Kalender Chef?

Yes?

Well, I saw your video this morning. I

loved it. I said we have to go there.

Come in. Have a seat.

- Welcome, please.

- Thank you.

You see, Chef, it works.

Hello. Welcome.

Welcome. Come in, please.

Cevdet, enjoy your meal.

Thank you for your work. It's

five stars, I swear to you.

- Dad, go on. Tell him.

- Okay, son. Hold on.

- What is it?

- He wants to see that dancing of yours.

No way. Enjoy your meal.

Oh! If he wasn't going to dance,

we should've gone to Pidburger.

- Skinny a*s.

- Tayfun!

Shame on you. What's the big deal

about making a couple of moves?

What moves? Cevdet, the check.

I'm expecting some money from somewhere.

We'll take care of it when I receive it.

Cevdet!

c, c!

Daddy, it's the TV.

What TV, baby? It must be a

joke. Give it to me. Hello?

Yeah

- The morning show.

- [gasps]

- Yes.

- They want a recipe for pita.

High five, Chef.

I don't know about that.

Let's hope for the best.

Let's hope for the best,

yes. Thank you, thank you.

- We're going, aren't we, Chef?

- I'm not going anywhere.

No one can take me anywhere.

I'll never be on TV, never!

What am I doing here?

- Chef. Chef, calm down.

- What?

- Okay.

- Okay?

Your ingredients for

the pita are ready.

If there's an ingredient

you don't know, skip it.

- Yeah.

- And come back if you have time.

- Okay.

- Okay? No excitement.

- Okay, I'm fine.

- No excitement.

- I'm fine. It's okay.

- No excite [grunts]

- c, kid. Kid. c.

- Excite

- Look at me. You all right?

- [sniffles]

- I'm fine. I'm fine.

- Get up, get up. Up, up, up.

- I felt a little faint.

- Don't. Don't.

- I fainted for a moment. I'm fine.

- No, don't. You're fine.

Look, don't Yes [grunts]

- Okay.

- Chef! Chef, get up.

- I Yeah

- Chef. Chef, wake up.

They'll call you now.

Come on, for God's sake.

- I'm fine. You're okay, right?

- You're okay, aren't you?

- You're okay, aren't you? Huh?

- Mr. Kalender, we'll have you now.

Yes. They're calling.

- Okay, get ready.

- Okay.

Ready. No excitement. Don't get

excited. We're not excited at all.

And now in my studio,

I have a guest who has been the talk

of the town for the past few days.

- Kalender Chef, welcome.

- Thank you.

Yes, I've been talked

about a lot for a few days.

I'm very excited. Very excited.

Now you're going to give us

a great flatbread recipe.

- Yes.

- Let's get started.

- Now

- Uh-huh.

- First we take our dough

- Ms. agla, Ms. agla!

We don't want a flatbread

recipe. We want a dance.

- Yeah, you have some kind of dance.

- Yes, we want to dance with the dough.

[chanting] Dance!

Dance! Dance! Dance!

[chanting continues]

[c] You haven't

spoken since Istanbul.

What am I supposed to talk to you about?

Huh? What am I going to talk to you about?

It's not enough that we've

been disgraced in our town,

now we've been disgraced

in the entire country.

We tried a few things to

boost interest in the shop.

Look what we've

gotten ourselves into.

- Chef, it is a good thing to be on TV.

- Shut up! Shut up!

Now I'll ask you. How

can we face these people?

Huh? How can we?

Sokomav?

Sleyman's son was going to join

the army. This must be his crowd.

Chef, look at the

banners! Do you see them?

- Filiz is here too. Look. Filiz!

- [crowd cheering]

You were asking how we would

look people in the face.

Here, look. Here they are.

-OUR PRIDE -LONG

LIVE KALENDER CHEF

-IZNIK'S PRIDE -PITA and DANCE

Dad!

Baby, why didn't you tell

me there was such an uproar?

- Chief made me promise.

- What chief?

- The mayor.

- [gasps]

Sir, this way, please. Come here,

please. Yes, Mr. Mayor. Here, please.

- Welcome.

- Thank you, sir.

- Welcome.

- Mr. Mayor, welcome.

Sir, what would you like to say?

Well, I'd like to say

that we are happy to see

a celebrity like Chef Kalender

coming out of our city.

Of course, this will have positive

reflections on the city tourism.

Let's applaud our chef.

Bravo.

Mr. Kalender, what

would you like to say?

I don't know what to say.

But we are expecting you in our

shop as soon as possible, Mr. Mayor.

Will you go, sir?

I promise that not only me, but all

my council members will come with me.

We are expecting everyone

at Kalender Pita Hall.

Whoever you ask will

show you the way.

Anyone who doesn't either doesn't like

us or is a dishonorable person. Applaud.

[mumbles] Sir, what kind

of pita do you like?

Do you have a special

request for Mr. Kalender?

Well, we will have a special

request from Mr. Kalender.

Whatever Mr. Mayor wants.

What do we want? We want a dance

from our chef. Dance! Play the band.

They are here.

- The tourists are here, Chef.

- Okay, make sure you give them turnips.

Look where I am. Can

you see behind me? Look.

Bravo.

Whoa, boom.

Careful. Look left and right.

- Hello, brother. Can you say hello?

- Hello there.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- What! What happened?

- I said no.

Oh, dear God.

- Kiss him for us.

- Kiss!

- She says kiss. Kiss

- What?

[both] Kiss, kiss.

- Me, kiss him?

- She is telling you to kiss me.

- I kissed him.

- We kissed.

[patron] Thank you.

[patrons chanting,

cheering] Hit! Hit! Hit!

[screams] That's it!

I'm using it for the

oven. It's not a toy!

Take it, baby.

CHAMPION

It's coming, it's coming.

Bring it, bring it!

Whoop. Whoops. It's not for you.

Brother Cevdet.

Film it.

- Uh-oh!

- c.

Okay, okay. Here you

are. Enjoy your meal!

It's hot! It's hot!

[gasps]

Chef, wow! Chocolate pita? Chef,

why don't we put this on the menu?

Pita aren't made with chocolate.

They're made with

cheese or minced meat.

Would Dad ever put

this on the menu?

- Right.

- Come on. One, two, three.

[cheering]

Yes. The last month

has been incredible.

Kudos to all three of us.

But especially to c.

I was a bit upset at first, but we

wouldn't be here today without him.

We owe you a lot.

Not at all.

I'd love to say that, but I think

you owe me a little. [laughs]

[laughing]

Are you ready for the

surprise of the night?

- [door opens]

- Yeah. Kalender.

- [Kalender] You're just in time. Come.

- [c] Welcome.

- Are we ready for the surprise?

- Uh-huh.

- [gasps]

- [giggles]

- Chef, what's this?

- The key to the shop. For you.

YEDEK SPARE

Dad, did we buy the shop?

No, baby.

Look. I've never given the key to

this shop to anyone but my daughter.

But you deserve it, young man. Are

you ready for this responsibility?

- I won't cry. I won't cry.

- [laughs]

I won't cry.

Yes, yes, yes.

[laughs, sighs] Oh.

Chef, there is already

a key in the safe.

That's the key of the

shop. This is your key.

Thank you very much.

[inhales sharply] Let's

go out. We'll take a walk.

- Chocolate pita?

- Pitas aren't made with chocolate.

They're made with

cheese or minced meat.

- Enjoy your meal.

- Good evening.

Good evening.

- You are full of great surprises.

- [Kalender] You liked it, didn't you?

[tuts] No. I I can't accept it.

Seeing them like this brings

me back to my adolescence.

[phone ringing]

- Don't exaggerate.

- Sorry.

Hello? Look, tonight the

sh*t will hit the fan.

I don't care what happens to

me. I'll meet you at the square.

c, I'm in a hurry. I have

to go. See you later, okay?

- Bye.

- [door opens]

What's going on?

I'm glad you told me everything

on your mind when we first met.

I don't think I would have ever gotten

into this social media thing without you.

Look, Kalender, if you hold

on to your past so tightly,

your future will slip away.

- Wow, well said. Who said this?

- Uh-huh.

Your midwife.

Language, please.

No, it's really your midwife.

Remember Saniye, she

delivered you and me at home.

- Yes.

- She lived downstairs.

She used to say that.

What's this now?

You know, in the

middle of the street

There you go, you can't

even take small risks.

You say you've changed. You say

you're open to everything now.

- Yes, I am.

- So?

I like you a lot. But I still feel

like I'm doing wrong by Sengl.

Do you?

- Okay. Walk with me.

- We are walking.

Walk faster.

What the hell is this?

Dear audience, welcome

to our theater.

And this week, here's

Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red Riding Hood has left her

house to take food to her grandmother.

What are you bringing to your

grandmother, Little Red Riding Hood?

I'm taking sushi,

edamame, wasabi to Grandma

And all of a sudden, there's

the big, bad wolf. Hmm.

- [gasps]

- [growls]

Where are you going,

Little Red Riding Hood?

What are we doing in a

cemetery at night? I'm scared.

- Are you afraid of the woman's grave?

- Please don't talk like that

I mean your wife.

Yeah, but what are

we doing here anyway?

Well, Sengl doesn't sleep

early either What do we do now?

- Hello, Sengl.

- Sengl, I don't know this woman.

- What are you saying?

- I panicked for a moment.

Actually, you know

me in absentia.

And I know you from afar. You

and I have one thing in common.

And that's Kalender.

[clears throat]

I want Kalender from you by Allah's

command and the prophet's word.

- She refused. Let's go.

- Please!

I'm sure you want your husband to

be very happy even after you passed.

And that's why you're so

happy for us right now.

- She's going to punish us.

- Can you please just calm down?

Okay.

At our age, it's hard to

love again, to trust someone.

So we don't want to

miss this opportunity.

Right, Kalender?

- She's saying it, not me.

- Kalender!

- Okay.

- [chuckles]

Glsen is right.

Sengl, I still

love you very much.

[sighs heavily]

But I don't want to lose a person

I can love like I love you.

[chuckles]

Life is too short. I don't know

how right it is to tell you this.

I want to hold this hand in your

presence and never let it go.

[chuckles]

And I will never

let go of this hand.

No matter what happens,

these hearts will never part.

I've always been by your side,

and I'll always be there for

her for the rest of my life.

- Oh, God! [gasps, sobs]

- Kalender, where are you going?

Sengl, why are you

doing this? Sengl.

- Kalender!

- I peed a little.

Hunter, thank you so much. You're

wonderful, hunter. Wonderful hunter.

So the hunter slowly

approaches her.

He gets closer and finally

kisses her on the lips.

- [coughing]

- c?

- Are you okay?

- I'm choking!

- c.

- [coughing]

- What's wrong, c?

- Clear, clear, clear!

- I know the Heimlich.

- What's that?

[coughs] What's

going on? No! No! No!

- Last time big. Come on.

- No!

- Last one!

- No, I'm fine.

- Anything came out?

- It did.

I was choking. [coughs]

I'm leaving now.

Filiz, everything

is okay, right?

Yes, everything is fine.

Brother, you're fine too?

I'm great, thank you very much.

But can I tell you something? You're

a lucky man. I know first aid.

Aid, yes. First aid.

By the way, my Heimlich

maneuver is very famous.

I felt it, you know?

- I'm off then. See you later.

- Bye, sweetie.

- Come on, hop on. I'll give you a ride.

- I'm going for a walk.

I'll come with you.

[sighs]

I was almost choking.

Now I'm really

going to choke you.

You're a grown-up man. Aren't

you ashamed to pretend?

I didn't pretend.

[scoffs]

Idiot.

[sighs deeply]

Why are you hiding the

fact that you're acting?

My father doesn't like

this acting stuff.

I brought it up a couple of

times, but he was against it.

It's like a little

hobby for me anyway.

A little hobby? You're very good on

stage. You made many people laugh tonight.

No. You made more people laugh.

- c.

- What?

Are you jealous of me?

Who? Me? I'm jealous.

Me, jealous, of you.

Okay, then why

did you follow me?

Well, this evening you

left the shop saying

"Tonight the sh*t will hit the fan,"

and I thought you were in trouble.

Oh, no. No, uh The city holds

an amateur theater competition.

Ooh.

And they pay the

winners very well.

So I told the director that

we should prepare a play.

He said, "The sketches are going

well. Don't bother with plays."

So I got upset with the boss.

Ooh.

I was worried about you.

What kills the cat is

either curiosity or

[sniffles] Or the Heimlich.

[both laughing]

Excuse me.

Yes? c.

Isn't she an actress

in the theater?

No, she's my daughter.

She works here.

No, I saw her on the news today.

Let me show you. They

even saved this boy.

- c?

- Look,

she's one of the

actors in the back.

It's coming, it's coming.

It's coming, it's coming.

Hey, who's ready

for some pita? Ooh

Open your mouth.

Eat it. Come on.

What are you doing, dude?

Didn't you want me to shovel

the pita into your mouth?

Is this your presentation?

Is this it? Huh?

He can make flatbread seating. It's

a little greasy, but it's delicious.

We can also break

flatbread over your head.

It's also very good

for the evil eye.

Don't be ridiculous. What is that? How

can you do that? You can't do that!

Are we here to eat or

get beaten? What is this?

- Am I right, guys?

- Pita is average.

And on top of that, they shovel it

into our mouths, for God's sake.

- Who are you filming, dude?

- Who are you filming?

What's going on?

Now, everyone, put your

phones down slowly.

Yes. Everybody please calm

down Please don't film

- [door opens]

- [bell dings]

Excuse me. There's

a hair in my pita.

- Here we go!

- And the cheese stinks.

You saw that, didn't you?

Yes, guys, you see. Covering up their

bad pita with this kind of nonsense.

Why are you spoiling the mood? If you

don't want to, then just don't eat.

Disrespectful too.

Okay, I get it. You're

here to make a scene.

Will you please get up?

Oh, my arm!

Look, you saw how he grabbed the

arm. Come on, guys, we're leaving.

But you totally misunderstood.

I just touched him like that.

- Come on, let's leave.

- We didn't do anything.

Kalender Chef would never

do such a thing. Not at all.

- Go, go, go.

- Listen to me for a second.

Please. Don't go.

How rude you all are!

- You will pay for this.

- This is not a place to eat.

- [mumbles]

- [patron] Go.

I don't know what just happened.

- [c] Who are you filming, dude?

- [mumbles]

- Who are you filming?

- Stop. Go back.

- What's going on?

- Yeah.

Who are you filming, dude?

- Who are you filming?

- They won't find out it was us, will they?

- [c] What's going on?

- No, boss. How would they know?

We talked to the guys, they

did the job. It's a clean job.

They did a tremendous job, boss.

Okay, you guys post this on

the Internet. Tell the guys.

Let them make a big fuss

about it on social media.

Big fuss. Yes, boss.

- Boss.

- What?

You know, these guys

These guys did a great job.

It's very good.

They were Oscar-worthy

performances, right?

Yes.

You know, I'm just saying. Should

we give some bonus to the guys?

Okay, I'll take care of that.

I'll send it to you. You

send it to their accounts.

- TR64, 96 26, 72 18, 10

- The hell!

Is that an IBAN? Did

you memorize your IBAN?

[mumbles] 04 15.

The end.

You guys are weird.

What happened today is not

normal. It can't be a coincidence.

I can think of someone.

I don't want to

blame him, though.

What's the latest?

We are getting slammed

in the comments.

There are very strange comments.

Let me see.

"Aren't you ashamed

to poison people?

A pita seller should

be a bald man.

How did this Skinny a*s

become a pita maker?

Anyone who sees my story runs to

the restroom." What's going on?

What are you going to do now?

I don't know. As things

got better, we went bigger.

The bigger we went, the better

things got. Here's the result.

Thanks to c,

there's no stopping.

Now I'm to blame?

You kneeled down and offered me a

key when everything was on track.

I told you to be careful.

That's what you get for speeding

250 all the time in life.

Would it have been better to

go 50 and lose everything?

Look, Chef, what a nice

family we've become.

A family? What do you

know about family?

- [shushes]

- You don't even see your own mother.

c?

- How do you know that?

- We let you into our shop.

I had to check you out at least.

Is it true?

When my father died, my

mother married another man.

What the hell!

What?

My mind went to something

different. Keep going.

You see, I never got

along with my stepfather.

I realized we

couldn't get along.

I left home so I wouldn't

be a burden anymore.

Let's say we believe it.

Aren't you the one who

disgraced me all over Iznik?

Huh? I lost both my

profession and my reputation.

Why are you doing this

to us? Are you a spy?

Are you one of those Pidburger

guys? I knew it when you showed up.

[shushes] Kalender, what

are you talking about?

Do you really think so, Chef?

Wow. Thank you very much.

Dad, does slandering suit you?

Saying stuff without knowing?

Oh. I can't lie as well

as you do, my dear baby.

When were you planning

to tell me about this?

Huh? I'm doing

everything for you.

My daughter is going behind

my back with this guy.

Chef, you don't know what's

going on behind my back.

Shut up! Shut up!

Are you secretly trying to be

an actress? It's shameless.

Is this coming from

Iznik's first phenomenon?

I did everything

for you. Everything.

Get out of here. Get out of

here. Get out, all of you.

- [sobs]

- You have to make people talk rough.

- [door opens]

- [bell dings]

Goodbye, Chef.

[exhales sharply]

Shall we talk a little?

[sighs]

I want to be alone.

You're not my mom.

Here.

[sighs]

You know your father was very

much in love with your mother?

How do you know that?

I came back about five

years after I left him.

Because I couldn't get over him.

Even your father

doesn't know that.

When I came back here and

saw your parents from afar

holding you in their arms,

I realized how happy they were.

I quietly walked away.

Why are we like this now?

Your father is under

a lot of pressure.

For someone who has never changed

anything in his life, it's too much.

And he couldn't handle it.

But you're the most

important thing in his life.

I know that. My father

is the same for me.

He just couldn't

accept this whole acting thing.

Well, not really.

What do you mean?

Look.

- Is that Dad?

- Your father and me.

What? Dad was an actor?

We were acting at school.

And your grandfather was furious because

he wasn't taking care of the shop.

One day he found out that he was

acting. He stormed the stage.

He beat your father

in front of everyone.

Really?

Yes. It was so hard on him

that he gave up on everything.

[sniffles]

Give him some time.

He'll realize his mistake.

He's the best person I've

ever seen in the world.

[cries]

What a terrible day.

No, don't think that.

Today is a very special

day for you to grow up.

Thank you. [sniffles]

Think that way.

And I think you should keep

this napkin. If I were you

[blows]

Never mind, don't keep it.

[both laughing]

[metal squeaking]

[clears throat]

I knew I'd find you here.

I'm sorry, it's just

one thing after another.

I tried to take it out on you.

Say something.

- Chef.

- Huh?

You know, I loved

my father very much.

He was a very special man.

He was my compass.

When he died, I

lost my bearings.

I've been adrift ever since.

Until I met you.

Did you find a new

direction when you met me?

When I met you, I realized there's

no such thing as the right direction.

But when you're with

people who care about you

no matter where the wind blows,

you somehow find your way.

That's why I'm here.

We haven't known each

other for that long but

You know, you can't progress ten

minutes in ten years with some people,

but you can progress ten years

in ten minutes with someone else.

That's exactly what

happened to us.

You know what I mean?

My math is not good.

My brain is fried.

I loved you so much, kid.

See, that's verbal.

I understand that.

I like you too, Chef.

Do you forgive me now?

Apprentices don't

forgive their masters.

They comply with them.

That sounds nice at first,

but when you think about it,

there's a little

bit of flattery.

That's what it feels like

to me now. [coughs] Oh.

So it's not always a good idea to

exercise here, huh? Here we go.

[laughs] All right. Oh, God.

- For example, this isn't a good idea.

- Let's go back to the usual.

It's better this way. [sniffles]

- He does.

- He has that sentimentality.

- [Kalender] Psst.

- Oh!

I'm sorry, baby.

Daddy.

What are you doing together?

Walking.

- c.

- What?

Do you know what Glsen told me?

No, what?

She and my father used

to do acting once.

- No way.

- [Glsen] Yeah.

- You told her everything, didn't you?

- I couldn't resist.

Come on. Let's go.

Don't be silly, Kalender.

- Chef.

- Then we'll walk too.

[Glsen] All right.

Okay, Chef.

[grunts] My dear.

[door opens]

[doorbell rings]

[Kalender grunting]

Why are you here? What? Is

something wrong? What happened?

Chef, calm down, there's nothing

wrong. I just had a very good idea.

I couldn't resist. I wanted

to tell you right away.

What idea? Don't shout. Thank

God you didn't wake Filiz.

You gave me a heart attack.

You're so right, Chef. I'm sorry.

[mumbles] I got carried away.

Okay, we'll talk in the

morning. Good night.

I'm already awake. Tell me now.

Chef, we'll talk in the

morning with a clear head.

And I'll have a clearer picture by

then. Perfect. Have a good night.

- I'm awake.

- We'll talk in the morning.

- But I'm awake.

- Sleep. Good night.

Go inside, you'll get cold.

What time in the morning?

In the morning.

[door bangs]

- c. c.

- [gasps] What happened, Chef?

- Is something wrong?

- No, don't worry. There's nothing wrong.

I was curious about that idea you

had. I couldn't sleep, so I came here.

Chef, we agreed to put

it off till morning.

We'll talk in the

morning with clear heads.

- Son.

- I was having a nice dream. Go to bed.

[c grunts]

- c?

- Huh?

- c.

- Morning.

What a lunatic. He ruined

all my sleep. God forgive me.

[Kalender] So now you're

suggesting to screw up even more.

Chef, okay. I get it. Things

didn't go as we wanted.

But you see, we can win the city's

theater competition and turn the tide.

And with the prize money, we

can save the shop. Right, Dad?

- Yeah.

- Baby.

That sounds nice, okay, but who

are we to do acting? Is that easy?

You've already done

it in your time.

Filiz is an actress.

I'll try too. It's a done deal.

That's not a bad idea.

I thought you were the smart

one, but you're not. Great.

Chef, this might be our last

chance to save the shop.

We're running out of time.

Dad, let's try. What's

the worst that can happen?

No, baby. I don't want us to

embarrass ourselves even more.

I'm leaving now. I'll be back in two

hours with the money the shop needs.

Where am I going to

get that much money?

[siren blares]

What is going on?

POLICE

What's going on?

People got poisoned here yesterday.

We have had a lot of complaints.

We will shut it

down for a month.

- You can't shut it down just like that.

- [officer] The mayor has strict orders.

He says he's disgraced

our beautiful city.

Don't make it difficult,

please. Come on.

Now, go pack your stuff in

there and let us do our job.

Dad, what are we

going to do? c?

You guys pack up

the stuff inside.

We'll come back with the money.

Come on, Chef. Trust me. Come.

Chef Kalender is my

chef and my brother.

Thank you.

Well, son, you've been

gone all these years.

I don't understand. How can a

son fall out with his mother?

Mom, don't make me

talk in front of Ergun.

Huh! Ergun?

What kind of talk is that,

son? Don't offend me.

It's Mr. Ergun.

I'm sorry, Mr. Ergun.

[Kalender] Mr. Ergun,

Mrs. Sermin.

I'm Kalender from Iznik. I'm

the owner of the Pita Hall.

We've been working

together for a while.

Praise be, you've

raised a wonderful son.

- Oh, thank you, Chef.

- It is so, my child.

- I have a daughter, about the same age.

- I'm three years older.

- Is that so?

- Uh-huh.

Sends you love and respect.

I don't believe in

this family feud.

That's why I really want you

to make up today, believe me.

You can't hold a grudge against your mom.

Come on, kiss her hand. Quick, kiss her.

- Mom.

- Come here.

Uh-huh.

So, you were gone all this time.

Why did you come? Come on, tell

me. There's no secrets from Mom.

Right?

Mom, I have something

to tell you, but

[grunts] don't

know if I should.

Don't bring that up.

One second, Chef. Please.

Mom.

I know I've come

after so many years.

It's gonna be a little weird.

But we have very little time.

Our shop has problems.

We need money.

You were almost getting soft,

but you see, he's here for money.

Shame on you, son. You

come here for no reason.

I thought it was out of

the goodness of your heart.

Turns out that it

is about money.

Why would it be for no reason?

Didn't you call me the other

night? I didn't pick up.

No. I didn't call.

It was an accident. Pocket dial.

If I wanted to talk,

wouldn't I have called again?

That's right.

He wanted to help me

in this dire situation.

Don't get mad at him.

He means no harm.

Who the hell are you?

How dare you interfere?

An old man.

You're a loser trying to extort

money by playing the family card.

Shame on both of you.

You're working as a

delivery boy for some guy.

I told you to come work with

us. We own this huge building.

Come work for us. Be a

security guard. Three shifts.

And you're shamelessly

asking for money.

[sniffles]

- You You are

- Okay. Okay. Let's go.

- Open the door.

- [sniffles]

Chef! Chef!

[Kalender] You as*h*le! This kid

is the best person in the world.

This kid needs nothing

but a little love.

He's happy even living in the

shitty warehouse of our shop.

But you're too

blind to see that.

You, Mr. Ergun, a

millionaire full of money.

You're the big one? Yes, you're

big. That's not the point.

But we're even bigger because

we love each other this much.

We don't need anyone.

Shame on you.

[sniffles]

- Let's go.

- Where to?

To go perform.

CITY THEATER OF THE MUNICIPALITY

- Ready?

- [Filiz, c] Ready!

You're too sure. You're

making me nervous.

- Dad, don't be nervous for a change.

- Yeah!

- Why are you yelling at me?

- Why are you scolding her now?

- Calm down.

- Don't yell.

- Pfft!

- I think we're ready. Let's go.

[Kalender sighs]

[sighs, mutters]

- c.

- Huh?

- Can you do this?

- Dad. You said you needed an actor.

I brought Esat from our team.

Esat, come here. Let me

introduce you. My father.

Yes, I'm her father. Kalender.

Glsen. You already know c.

Oh, Heimlich. Are

you okay, brother?

No, I'm still choking.

Welcome.

Chef.

I've actually been on

stage in my school days.

Really?

- Yes.

- What did you do?

- I did folk dancing.

- [scoffs]

Oh.

I'll show you. Let me show

you. [sniffs, clears throat]

Bursa's small stones

- [Kalender] What is this?

- [Glsen] Not this.

- [coughing]

- [Glsen] Oh!

- He's choking!

- Get some water.

No! No! No!

I'm fine.

[breathing heavily]

[coughs]

To be or Not to be?

[Kalender] The cruel chief who

stole my chickens, come out.

I will take my daughter

to the town. I will.

- A little more

- Get out of here!

What is wrong?

What's wrong?

The thought "The thought" is granted.

The whip of cruel fate Not the whip.

- [Filiz screams]

- [c mumbles]

- [Glsen] My chickens are gone!

- We shout too loud. Too loud.

- Who is shouting, Chef?

- I'll tell you something.

That Oh, Chef. Chef, please

let's not play this ball.

Chef, let's cancel this,

please. Over my dead body.

Okay, cancel it.

Let's not do this.

What are we going to do?

I know. We'll do this.

No way.

No, I said we'll do it.

- Let's do whatever it is, for God's sake.

- Ah!

You have three days left,

Kalender. It's not my fault.

Mr. Uysal, let us win this contest,

and we'll take care of everything.

Don't worry.

Okay, let's see!

We are on a trip around

the world with my wife.

We came to Afyon for

the natural springs.

You started the world

tour from Afyon?

Whatever, that's how

we pretend we do it.

They are really beautiful.

- Look at how beautiful the costumes are.

- I'm so excited.

Look who is here.

You're going to do acting, huh?

Huh? You'll win the grand prize.

And then the shop

You won't be able to do anything.

You know that, don't you?

You'll be even more disgraced

than after that Internet incident.

What's your problem with us?

For God's sake. You

- You still don't remember me, huh?

- No.

- You know what my problem is?

- What?

- My problem is you.

- Me?

Yes. I was dying for

you when I was young.

But you were blindly

in love with this man.

You broke up. I was like, "Yeah, I think

it'll work this time," but what happened?

You left the city.

Since that day I haven't

been able to marry anyone,

and I couldn't love anyone.

I thought about you every night.

Every night.

I remember you now.

Yeah.

- Aren't you

- Who?

- Faceless Weasel.

- [gasps]

What is that, a rapper's name?

Oh, I remember now.

You guys haven't

recognized me for days,

but you immediately remembered

this disgusting nickname.

- [gasps] Ah!

- I hate you.

- Come here.

- Where?

- [Sermet] What is it?

- c, calm down!

- What do you think you're doing, huh?

- I'm not doing anything to you.

- What do you think you're doing, Faceless!

- Who the hell is Faceless?

- Calm down, c. [screams]

- [grunts]

[exhales]

Didn't I tell you no kicking?

What kind of advice

is that, Chef?

- Are you okay, Filiz?

- I'm fine.

- Good.

- Faceless, are you okay?

[groans]

Hold on. One sec

But But the branches.

It's not nice to carry

the branches like that.

- [Kalender coughs]

- Chef, you're breathing too fast.

- There's no oxygen left.

- What am I supposed to do?

- Is everyone ready?

- Yes, yes.

But my memorization for

the final is a bit weak.

- I'll cue it for you. Keep an eye on me.

- Okay.

- Thank you, Chef.

- No problem.

[attendant] Kalender pita.

- It's us, we're coming.

- We're coming.

My lady. Please listen to me.

If you don't like it, I promise

I'll sacrifice my own life for you.

Is that so? Well, all right.

[sighs]

Chef.

Chef! Chef!

When I first saw your eyes,

I thought I was drowning

in the sea inside them.

The first time I saw your eyes,

I thought I was drowning

in the sea inside them.

But the color of my

eyes are not blue.

Aren't they? Her

eyes aren't blue.

Chef, her eyes are not blue.

Whatever color your eyes are,

it must be the color of the sea.

Whatever color your eyes are,

it must be the color of the sea.

The mountains should take

the color of your lips,

the sky the color of your skin.

The mountains should take

the color of your lips,

the sky the color of your skin.

Oh, my lady.

If only I'd known long ago, I would

have had the courage to tell you.

Oh, my lady.

If I had known, I would have

had the courage long ago

and told you these

things to your face.

You speak so beautifully.

Please go on.

Do I?

I don't know how to

put this in words but

I can't get you out of my

mind no matter what I do.

Kid, this is not in the text.

Chef, please, just a minute.

[mumbles] Whether you love

me or not, it doesn't matter.

But I have to tell

you these things.

Of course, the important

thing is that you're happy.

[stammers] Let me come to you.

Let me look into your eyes.

I'll say what's in my heart.

c, what are you doing?

c, what are you

doing? Don't climb.

- Kid, don't do this.

- c, let go.

I won't. I really love you.

- Oh, they'll fall.

- Oh! c!

[audience gasps]

- Filiz.

- I'm fine.

- Baby, are you okay?

- I'm fine.

- c? Are you okay?

- [groans]

- [c] I'm okay, Chef.

- [Filiz] I'm fine.

c, come here.

[Filiz] No.

[Sermet] Oh! Dear friends!

What's going on?

What's going on?

Why do you applaud?

Did you watch something

marvelous? Why are you applauding?

Listen! This guy disgraced

us on the Internet.

He's ruined the

city's reputation.

And he's still participating

in a theater contest.

What if he wins?

Are you okay with giving the

city's money to this dancer, folks?

- No, boss! It's unacceptable.

- No, boss!

- Is it okay?

- Speak up, boss!

- Are you okay with it?

- [heckler] You're great, boss! Bravo!

[heckler 2] Speak up, boss!

I just wanted to save the shop.

Stop that.

I thought if I saved the

shop, I could save everything.

I've spent my life trying

to make someone else happy.

But I've had enough.

Tonight, for the first time, I'm literally

doing something for myself. On this stage.

I am doing my favorite

thing with my loved ones.

Is there anything more

beautiful than that? Huh?

And that's why being here is

more important than winning.

Believe me.

Well done, Skinny a*s.

Well spoken. Well done.

Skinny a*s! Skinny a*s!

[audience] Skinny

a*s! Skinny a*s!

[Sermet] But

Come on, for God's

sake. Come. Damn!

Friends, thank you very

much for your support.

But I'm not so sure about this

part. Is it really skinny?

Skinny a*s!

[Kalender] Let's

bow. They loved it.

Good for you. So

you won the contest.

[Kalender] No,

there's no way we won.

Why couldn't you win

after all this, son?

Kalender Chef said, "Being here is more

important than being in the competition,"

blah, blah, blah, and the mayor's

nephew won the competition.

I couldn't help it. I

just got carried away.

We may have lost the shop, but we

didn't lose each other. Right, darling?

Right, sweetheart.

Well, it might be nice to be on

the winning side for a change.

Don't worry, baby, we found a

new shop. We'll start from zero.

Let's say we're not starting

from zero but from minus two.

[all laugh]

We'll make the

upstairs a pita hall.

And downstairs, we'll stage

plays in the evenings.

That's a great idea. And

what will we call it?

The Skinny a*s Pita

and Art Center.

[laughs] c!

[all laughing]

God bless you.

Where the hell do you

get this stuff, man?

- But, Chef

- Yeah?

- This exercise really worked, right?

- Really? You can tell?

They won't ever call

you Skinny a*s anymore.

[chattering]

[dance music plays]

PITA and DANCE

[dance music stops]

- All right!

- Bravo.

[all cheering]

- I love you, brother.

- I love you too, brother.

[laughing]

Well done, everyone.
