The two meet by chance while fleeing, go to Greece together and grow attached. But Vural will not give Suna up and forces her into marriage by threatening to kill Murat. When Murat draws attention by winning constantly at Vural's casino, he is hired as its manager. In the end one of a pair of dice turns up in Suna's room and gives away the secret love, pushing events to a dangerous point.

Through different eyes

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

Seeing Filiz Akın as a nightclub's star singer and Ediz Hun as a quick-handed gambler brings back the flavour of seventies colour-era Yeşilçam straight away. Türker İnanoğlu builds the love triangle out of nightclub lights, card tables and threats; the story settles into a familiar mould, but the warmth of the two leads keeps the audience on their side. Ekrem Bora's obsessive boss recalls that old moral order in which good and bad were clearly divided. A small but elegant touch, a single die from a pair giving the secret love away, shows the script's gift for tying feeling to an object. A comfort for anyone who misses an old-fashioned romantic melodrama.

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

An escape, a card cheat, a club owner on the hunt, a death threat: on paper there is plenty to build tension with. But Ayrılık is a romantic melodrama first and foremost, and the flight to Greece and the casino intrigue may leave anyone waiting for the pace to pick up a little restless. It is good that it stops at 87 minutes and never drags. The real suspense lies in the squeeze of a secret love that could be exposed at any moment. If you want pure action, keep your expectations low.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humour and heart.

Ayrılık is a love story, but its world is nightclubs, gambling and the underworld. There are heavy themes, such as a woman being forced into marriage under a death threat. It is not one for small children; it suits teenagers and adults better. Grandparents will be glad to see Filiz Akın and Ediz Hun together. It is short, so it fits easily into an evening.
