The meddling grandmothers of Sahra and Deniz have decided enough is enough. Their two grandchildren were the best of friends growing up, until one summer when it seems that they could have been more, and afterwards it's clear to everyone that they are avoiding one another. Sahra has a rival at work and is desperate to get an exclusive interview with a reluctant and reclusive photographer. Coincidentally and unbeknownst to Sahra, Deniz is the reclusive photographer she is desperate to interview. The meddling grandmother's bring the two to their neighboring homes at the same time to attempt to get them talking again...and ultimately nature takes its course.
Ekin Koc, who plays Deniz, really makes this movie for me. His character is very romantic and how he shares his continued love for Sahra just squeezed my heart. Absolutely gorgeous seaside backdrop for this romance and Ayça Aysin Turan who plays Sahra is lovely.
I think fans of romance will enjoy this story and it is a recommendation to those romantics who are ok watching a film in Turkish.
This review is based on watching this film in it's original Turkish language with English subtitles.

This is a summer second chance romance with a gorgeous Turkish backdrop.
More about the visuals
This movie is a feel-good light movie with very little drama.
The plot is okay although it could have been made better by having great script writing and storytelling yet they did wonderful with the amazing views of landscape and I really loved the lighting and the filter of this movie especially with every scene of the girl.
To me, it just felt like they focused more on the visuals of the actress and scenery more than the whole story and the acting as it lacked to connect with the viewers.
Still, this is an okay movie to watch if you want to watch an undramatic romantic movie with beautiful landscapes.
The scenario was very predictable
The Decoupling between Deniz and Sahra was magnificent. The characters were combined with the full script. But the script was very simple. They did a very classic job. They used an ancient city like Assos as a filming location. It was really perfect. But as I said, the script could have been written better. A classic romantic/drama film has appeared. Grandmothers were very sweet. I was very amused by his novice attitude. In addition, the side characters also added a separate atmosphere to the film. Their support for the story was quite great. In short, I knew how the events would end during the process of watching the film. It turned out to be an easy job to guess. However, Ana, this did not prevent me from enjoying the movie while watching. The camera angles were very nice.
