FATED HEARTS
Zeynep is a girl who lives in a small Anatolian town. Her childhood passes as carefree as a festival with her best friend, Yusuf.
But many things change while she reaches adolescence. Yusuf is her best friend and becomes her first love, too. While Zeynep can't name the emotional change yet, Yusuf disappears from her life completely. This is her first big loss.
This loss and her disharmony with the customary life style in her small town turns her into a lonely woman. She tries hard with all the methods she knows, to get rid of this fusty town and its pressure which affects her each and every cell painfully. She looks for the communication that she can't establish with anyone around her and the love she lost with Yusuf, by being a pen friend with prisoners via a newspaper column. This is is her adulthood game and a way to breath.
Eventually, this game leads Zeynep to a lifer out of town. And this correspondence brings her to a point she can never expect.
‘…Then life plays a game. But the game never remains unfinished. The failings always getting fixed…’
