The Butterfly's Dream

Kelebeğin Rüyası

Set in the coastal coal-mining town of Zonguldak during World War II, two impoverished young poets, Muzaffer Tayyip Uslu and Rüştü Onur, dream of publishing their work and awakening Turkey's passion for modern verse while battling tuberculosis. When Suzan Özsoy, the educated daughter of an influential official, returns home, both men make a wager to win her heart through their poetry, forging a deep artistic bond that endures through illness, social divisions, and impending tragedy.

  • Neither sail nor ship remains in port Fleeing is left to a long voyage. Ships were on a coral shore Finding them is left to gloomy days. I urgently need to make my beloved watch this, I'm crying. We need to cry together, be on the ship of fools, count cobblestones, and quietly head back home.
