Short summary

A News Channel employee Hasret, has been seeing the same nightmare for some time. Through recurring nightmares, a question creeps into her mind: Is it possible that her parents were not killed in a traffic accident twenty years ago but have died in some other, horrific way?

Towards the end of the movie, when Hasret forgets and tries the pasword of the alarm system in her house, the correct password is 0207. It's a reference to the event on which the movie is based. It happened on 02.07 (Second of July).

    Censorship,annoying constructions, just doing what to say without asking questions, politicians who trying to make us fool and memories they made us forget are the contents of that realistic photo. I sad photo of Turkey but those things are being happen all around the world. I just see things better around me that's why i filtered. There are things in the movie remind me book of 1984. In example the TV channel named as "TEK TV" ("tek" means "only"). TV channel decides for us what to know, who is innocent, guilty, radical or anarchist. They removing "unnecassary" parts of reality! This movie is something like a wake-up call!

    I really loved this film - female director, topical subject matter (freedom of speech and truthful reporting) and excellent cinematography and camera-work, however the English subtitle translation was so poor it hampered my enjoyment (and understanding) of the film. I think running the screenplay through Google Translate would have yielded a better result, to be honest. I am no stranger to foreign films - I watch on average 40 foreign films per year and speak several languages. However, whoever was responsible for translating and captioning this film really did it a disservice. In addition to very poor grammatical errors (example: "Hundreds of Death" instead of "Hundreds Dead" or "Hundreds of Deaths;" "I and Hasret" instead of "Hasret and I;" "I have a fever?" instead of "Do I have a fever?" and the list goes on. There were moments in the film where several people were talking and instead of captioning the salient bits there was an effort to capture everything, and as a result it was a flurry of high speed text on the screen that no one in the audience was able to read or understand in time. Please retranslate and redistribute - it would be a pity if this film didn't reach a wider audience.
