Mertkan (Bartu Küçükçağlayan) slides through each day working as an office assistant at his father’s construction company—when he’s not gobbling burgers at the mall with his buddies. Then one day he meets Gül, a shy but charming Kurdish girl, and suddenly his demeanor begins to change: he becomes more confident and aggressive as their relationship deepens.

But then there are his parents, upon whom Mertkan is completely dependent, and who won’t even consider the idea of their son settling down with a Kurd.

Seren Yüce’s impressive first film is a revealing portrait of a generation that is caught between old ways and a new world that they are brought up in but can never fully enter.

Seren Yüce was born in Istanbul in 1975. He graduated from Bilkent University, Ankara, with a degree in archaeology. In 2006, he was the first assistant director on Özer Kızıltan’s Takva (A Man’s Fear of God) and Fatih Akın’s The Edge of Heaven, and he recently worked as first assistant director on Yeşim Ustaoğlu’s Pandora’s Box. Majority is his first feature-length film.
