Plot

One September morning in 1977 in Ankara, a young man rushes his pregnant wife to the hospital for the impending birth. He crashes into another car, whose driver is another father-to-be. As a result of the accident, the woman in the car they hit gives birth prematurely, resulting in both babies being born on the same day at the same hospital. That accident becomes the first of many coincidences that will connect the fates of Özgür and Deniz, whose lives will continue to intersect throughout the rest of their childhood and teenage years in Ankara. Each time their paths intersect, the cause of the intersection greatly transforms both Özgür and Deniz’s lives. However, their lives never fully intertwine because whatever it is that brings them together manages to build a wall between until their next encounter, some 25 years on, in Istanbul.

gollark: The GUI is better at presenting the large amounts of monitoring data.
gollark: I do status monitoring through a web GUI, though.
gollark: I manage my servers over SSH, it's very convenient.
gollark: For example, mouse input (this is available but not very well supported), image display, more styling, sort of thing.
gollark: What would be neat is terminal-type applications with better interactivity.
