Synopsis

Former sailor Fikret is having trouble settling into his new life in Istanbul and has begun to make use the local church’s facilities. When the priest Artin goes on a trip to Vatican, Fikret starts selling off the church’s cellar of expensive wines and stays in priest’s room at night. Fikret spends most of his remaining time gambling on horse races and lecturing Asim, a naïve young boy working at the car wash located next door to the church who perceives him as a surrogate as a father figure. Fikret and Asim learn of a rich widowed businesswoman, Deniz, who thinks that her sister, Selen, has had a spell put upon her and is prepared to pay anything to have it lifted. Fikret decides to go to Deniz's house disguised as a priest but gets more than he bargained for.

gollark: I don't think you can get cinema movies yourself very easily, and it's a bit of an odd reason to make the phone excessively tall or add a notch.
gollark: Also, what aspect ratio are movies? 1.87:1 corresponds to no common aspect ratio I know of.
gollark: Just... make the screen whatever size is needed, instead of "extending" the screen in a way which makes it worse at viewing *rectangular content*?
gollark: They're just uncool. Rectangular screens are practical and sensible. By cutting a bit out you're not really making the screen usefully bigger, since the bit around it isn't very usable.
gollark: Notches are the enemy. I just want a sensible rectangular LCD panel with maybe 1600 pixels of height.
