Is it possible to maintain a long-lasting marriage when one waits for the other partner all the time? What makes the wait worthwhile? In this documentary, Latife and Arif Mardin shared for the first time their thoughts about why they thought their marriage worked. The documentary reveals why they believe their marriage has lasted for so many years enduring through thick and thin. As we learn from Latife and Arif Mardin, love was not the only thing that made it last.
