The basic virtue is the construction of story. And, sure, the beginning of romance, the promisse of retirement , the blue cave as symbol and the smart use of ambiguity.

Not ignoring the acting.

A love story like so many others. The nice intention to give to it a personal touch and a not dessapointed result , the crumbs of fairy tale of relation between marine officer and his future wife , archeologist, looking just fine, especially for the way of hero to truth and the meetings with the significant people of his past.

Not memorable but, obvious, more than nice.

And, in essence, this is the most significant thing defining it.

One of the most beautiful, emotional and original romantic dramas of the last decade! One time watch is not enough.

Congratulations the whole team!

Kerem Bürsin the greatest dramatic actor of his time and now also a screenwriter. Through the love story, the film raises important psychological questions, its deeper interpretations make you think. Much more than just a movie. Its visual display is of unparalleled beauty. In addition to the cinematography, I would also like to highlight the film's music, which is also overwhelming.

I will definitely be rewatching it many times.

In short, another great story with Kerem Bürsin.

I loved to idea of the movie, it was a highly creative story, very well written. Every dialogue had the meaning and hidden message.

The last 30 minutes of the movie I could not stop crying. It was so heartbreaking. If you don't tear up watching the very last scenes, then your heart is made of stone.

The actors played their roles extremely well, especially Kerem Bursin as the main character Cem. I think that this movie is a turning point in his career and we will see him even more in international projects. Playing in local turkish things is just not enough for someone who is as talented as him.

I want to avoid spoilers, so I won't go into details, but I definitely recommend watching this movie. It will leave you with a very special feeling and make you think about life.

The characters make plans for the future and hope of realizing them someday. Their dreams come to promises, promises are about to be fulfilled, and a wonderful tomorrow seems so close, when suddenly... The shadow drowns the future without any compromise.

The personages act according to their life plan, and their "plan" is just a dream of a better life. Of course, a dream is not a plan and the film shows it from the first scene.

Stories about how someone manages to change his life or help somebody are doomed to failure. Just because you don't know what is best for someone else, accept it. Life repeatedly makes us learn this bitter lesson, and this film is proof of that.

The film has a faster pace at the beginning and slows down as the plot progresses.

We are introduced to Cem, a Marine who has no flair for romance and with Alara, an archaeologist who is reluctant to get involved with Cem because her work as a soldier offers many risks, and she wants something stable, something he cannot offer.

The plot unfolds simply, with the couple's difficulties and how they deal with them and the veiled promise to go to the Blue Cave.

When we reach the end, in the final plot, the viewer is surprised by the twist in the plot, perhaps if the film had more time on the unfolding of some actions or more screen time for the main couple. The end of the film would have more impact, an extra 10 minutes would have been enough in my opinion.

Finally, it is a good film for those who like the style of romance, adventure, the plot is not deep and does not ask you to dwell on it, but it asks you to understand the motivations of the main couple and try see through their eyes.
