A simple plot, predictable plot..story that will tug at your heartstrings..although run-of-the-mill dialogues, a much cliche sequences with obvious gaps such as a missing depiction of child's reaction and emotions after losing her only parent, somewhat incongruous pieces in the story but overall the story glides fluidly, it is riveting that forces you to overlook the glitches.. filmed in Istanbul and good cinematography but above all, it is the violin that fills one's heart with joy and captivates through out .. the compositions are indeed a treat to the ears.. This movie will not leave you cold.

Yikes, i see many negative reviews but i enjoyed it a lot. I thought the acting was very good. Seeing engin alton in a 21st century piece was very good. He displayed, effectively i thought, a wide range of emotions very convincingly. His performance wasn't static as the character grew throughout the drama. The little girl is a pro, very able and very convincing adapting to changes in her life. And the wife, well, of course she was beautiful but that scene where she and her husband are reconciling was moving. And lastly i liked the music. I think it's definately worth less than 2 hours of your time. I like turkish tv and films a lot. I wish netflix had more.

This was a beautiful movie, quite honestly. I was in tears several times, laughing and just so engrossed in this uncle and niece relationship coming together. Yes it has its cliche moments, but the perspective of how a child really can change your life in many different ways was beautifully portrayed and I couldn't pull away from the movie regardless of how predictable it was. Just wonderful acting and beautiful music!

Well I watched this movie as I am a big fan of Engin Altan Duzyatan having watched his work in Dirilis Ertugrul and Barbaroslar. And he didn't dissapoint me, Although the movie isn't a masterpiece by any means it hits the right notes, you feel good watching it throughout and get emotional in many scenes.

The movie is about 2 brothers who were very close in childhood and get separated for some reason(Don't wish to spoil by giving the reason). Both brothers are excellent violinists. The elder(Ali Raza) is poor though and younger(Mehmet) is famous well recognised. The elder brother gets a disease and passes away leaving his 8 year old daughter(who is an excellent violinist herself).

Initially reluctant to have her but as the movie progresses Mehmet (Engin) and his niece Ozlem develop a special bond.

As the movie is about violinists the music throughout is amazing.

The characters and actors portraying them are good.

Engin Altan Duzyatan is one of the finest actors worldwide.

Move along.cynics. This movie isn't for you. During these bleak times, I'd rather watch movies full of hope and redemption, while not ignoring our darker, selfish natures. Believe it or not, even the worst of us have the capacity to change, and become more loving and caring people.

Several times throughout this movie, I predicted what would happen next, and yet I still had joyful chills when my predictions came true. In spite of its predictability, it accomplishes telling a story of selfishness conquering selfishness, without a single bit of cheesiness.

I went to bed happy, rather than filled with dread. What's so wrong with that?
