“Muazzez has to remind her father, an ageing man with Alzheimer’s, who he is before he dies. The year is 1977. After two terms as mayor of the town, Aziz Özay has just failed to be re-elected for a third. He lives with his wife and three daughters in a spectacular house complete with orchards and a garden. The rest of the townsfolk either steal into the orchards to swipe fruit or write love letters to the girls. One night, one of the daughters, Muazzez, catches one of the culprits. The culprit is Özgür, a handsome guy who could have stepped out of the pages of a photo-novel. Özgür has a different sort of smell about him. It turns out to be the smell of his hair, of something they call “shampoo”. And so begins an adventure that grows into a web of stories taking in marriages for love, marriages under protest, military takeovers, never-ending civil war and migration, untold joys and disappointments.”
