[man] Welcome to Gercek Private School.
Everyone here has made their own rules,
and you have to follow those rules no matter what.
One!
[man] Remember, this is not just a school, this is life.
Two!
[man] In this school, we all represent a tradition
and the morality that comes from that tradition.
Girl, look at this school. Like a mall.
Are you guys listening to me?
Ekim, where's your attention?
I'm talking to you.
Of course, this school...
Three!
Has its own order, its own tendencies, which need to be followed.
And four.
Wohoo!
The uniforms you wear
are not just clothes, they represent pride.
I hope you understand.
Five!
We attach great importance to the preservation of rules here.
Take his belt off!
Take it off!
And whoever breaks the rules,
has to face the consequences.
Boys!
What's happening here?
Sir...
Sir, there's nothing going on.
We were just practicing boxing.
Follow me.
You're a tough boy.
Good boy.
Bro, listen.
What's the rush?
He still has some more punches to go. Remember,
one for each day of the week?
Enough for today. Okay?
Did you get it?
Do you have an objection?
What are you looking at?
Pass the ball.
Where were you?
Did you see what they were doing down there?
We'll talk about it later.
Guys, your class is down the hall to the right.
Lockers 211, 213 and 215 are yours.
You can get your keys from the Admin Department outside.
Classes will begin in the afternoon
because we have a bitter loss.
One of our professor has passed away.
May he rest in peace.
We're going to have a little memorial service for him.
I'm going to the field now.
Come to the field after you finish your work.
Look at this, it's bigger than my room.
This isn't safe.
Nobody is interested in your cheap bag, okay?
Everyone here has everything already.
They were beating that kid, did you see that?
Oh, stop it, that is between them. It has nothing to do with us.
Where will we get the keys?
- Admin Department. - Okay, come on.
[sombre music playing]
I'm tired of this world.
Only death can cleanse me.
This place not worth it.
It's not worth goodness.
Isn't that the most elite of the broken faith?
The poor are unaware of happiness.
This was Ziya sir's favourite poem.
It has become meaningful after he died.
He left us
too soon.
He was too good for this world.
He was a very valuable teacher.
He was really special. He was different from the rest.
He was a good man.
So?
When do we meet the ghettos?
What do you say, should we throw a welcome party for them?
May his soul rest in peace.
Listen, come back to your senses,
this is getting too much now.
They're looking at us like we're from an alien planet.
People don't stare like this on an alien planet.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm having a lot of fun here.
Look around.
Say something. How can you be so quiet?
Bekir, school is the same for me.
Okay, but don't forget, coming here was our dream.
So, don't be so quiet at least.
Bekir.
This wasn't your dream, okay?
Okay, so now you want to talk, is it?
Okay, I know it was Leyla's dream.
Now listen to me.
What happened with Leyla was wrong.
But we have also gone through a lot in life. So just chill.
Just look at her.
She's looking so good.
I have to say, this school is something else only.
- Oh, my God. - Look at this. It's good, right?
- Look at it. - Good morning, Melisa.
I got coffee for you.
No, thank you so much.
It's a bunch of losers.
Good morning, Melisa.
Good morning.
She's getting a lot of importance.
Guys, I can't hold back.
Both these girls are so beautiful.
Hey, listen to me.
- Can I get your numbers? - It won't be easy.
I wanted to talk to a few people, but they didn't even look at me.
Oh, my God, okay.
Enough of this. Come on.
Huh, there they are.
Welcome to our school.
- Thank you so much. - Hi.
I am Ozan.
We have been commissioned to introduce you to our school.
These are my friends. Come on, say hi.
Thank you very much, the director showed us the school.
Oh, yeah?
But he gave you a short tour.
I'm here to show you what you really haven't seen.
Ekim, why are you being so rude?
If someone wants to do something for us, let them do it.
What's the problem?
Let's do one thing.
Uh, if we divide in groups of two,
you won't get bored. Would you like to give it a try?
Yes, for sure. I'll go with her.
Is it? You go with him.
I knew I'd regret this.
Anyway, come on, this way.
That's it! I will not let you get bored at all.
And you. You are interested in this miss, right?
Okay?
- What was your friend's name? - Ayse!
Ayse and Daghan.
So sweet, so authentic.
Come on then.
Come on.
You are the luckiest.
Because I'll show you around.
Unlucky, not lucky.
You know, everyone resists at first, but the result is always the same.
What's the result?
It's going to be a lot of fun with you.
I can guarantee you.
Well, we'll go down from here.
Please, please, come on.
This is the most important place in the school.
I'm not really interested in books.
I'm only interested in pretty things.
Did you take the scholarship exam because of girls?
Well, anyway, that's the painting workshop,
and if you want to go to the gym, follow the directions.
I'm sure you'll have a good time. And you can see girls as well.
- Enjoy your trip. - Hold on, one second.
Your friend said that you would give me a tour of the school.
I've taken care of you already.
Let me tell you something, I did not feel bad about what you said.
Tell me, what are you doing tonight? What's your plan?
You really think I'd hang out with someone like you?
Why? What's wrong with me?
The answer is in your hands.
Oh, that.
Well, it's not a big deal for me, okay.
Anyway, give me your social media ID,
so we can follow each other and stay in touch.
Fine, I'll give mine to you.
Missile head 16! Okay?
I'm waiting, I have the phone on my hand! Come on, follow me.
- This is our science lab. - Wow.
It's very nice here.
What are you doing here?
Are you splitting atoms?
People at my old school would go mad if they saw this place.
What are these?
I'm so sorry, are you okay?
Hmm. This is the gym, my favourite place.
Okay, I've been around here.
- If it's over, can we go now? - Oh.
We're just getting started.
There are no locker rooms on our principal's tour.
He skips it as he walks around, which I think is a huge loss.
Do you want to see them?
Why?
We have a get-to-know-you party.
- I don't get it. - Don't you understand my language?
Read my lips.
Tell me, what did I say, huh?
- Move. Get out of the way. - Listen.
You probably think of this as a regular party, right?
But don't worry, it will open up new horizons for you.
Huh? Do you want it, do you?
Open my horizons too.
Melisa?
Do we have to go to the locker room to get our horizons open?
Don't be ridiculous. I was joking with my friend, you know me.
Oh, is it?
What were you just saying?
Say it again?
Huh?
Forget all this. What are you doing in front of the new girl?
We were just talking, that's it. Really.
Hm-hmm. Go on.
Ouch.
Hi, I'm Melisa.
Welcome to the school.
I'm Ekim.
Ekim.
Hi Ekim, would you like to have coffee with me?
[upbeat music playing]
Do you like coffee?
Oh, yes.
Thank you for what you did down there.
I liked it.
Wait a minute. Honey, hold this.
Here, have this.
You'll feel better when you put this on.
Thank you, but I can't take this.
No offense,
but your hair sucks. Just put it on.
It'll be fine.
Why are you so sad, darling?
No, why did you say that?
Your eyes say a lot.
[romantic music playing]
He's too handsome, isn't he?
You know the biggest mistake you shouldn't make in this school?,
no matter how sad or depressed you are?
What is it?
Kanat is very close to my heart.
He belongs only to me.
Alright.
Understood.
Don't worry, okay?
That's good.
Then let me introduce you to Kanat.
Kanat, darling?
Have you met Ekim?
You shouldn't be staring at people you don't know.
I...
Your hand is bleeding.
Darling, we are meeting at 9 tonight, right?
We'll see.
I'll tell you.
Kanat is a little weird.
Anyway, I'm sure you're excited about the first day now.
- Our class is also very exciting. - Hey, listen.
I'm a huge fan. Can I get a selfie?
Wait, wait, let's do something else. Like this.
Okay.
I haven't had a chance to meet everyone yet.
But I'll meet them, I'll mingle with them all.
There was a memorial service at school today.
The teachers did not enter the class.
Did you...
meet a guy named Kanat today?
Yes but...
How...
How do you know him?
All the girls in this neighbourhood know him, Ekim.
Except you.
Okay, that's good.
Well, tell the girls in the neighbourhood to stop daydreaming.
Because he has a girlfriend.
Who?
He's dating someone from school. A girl named Melisa.
She's a pretty girl.
She has a different energy.
She is very popular.
What happened?
I'm going to lie down.
But I...
I just got here.
So?
Leave, I want to rest.
You want me to leave so soon?
I'm very tired, Ekim.
I've been in therapy all day.
I want to rest.
Okay, okay. I know you're tired, but
it'll be worth it.
- You'll walk soon. - Hm-hmm.
I'll start walking, is it?
Let me tell you.
There will be no miracle. Stop fooling yourself.
I'm a cripple forever.
Accept this.
Got it?
- Leyla... - Ekim, go now.
I said, go.
Okay, then.
- I'll come back tomorrow. - Don't come!
Don't come, I don't want to meet you every day.
[sombre music playing]
Here you go. Enjoy.
Thank you for visiting.
I've heard your hands are magical.
Can you double the money?
Don't joke, Kanat!
Hasan, take the empty ones.
Why are you out at this hour? Aren't you late for home?
Or did you miss me?
Look at yourself instead of thinking about me.
Why don't you stop by the school sometime?
- To school? - Yes.
Hm.
The place
where you show your soft heart as stone?
At least I'm going to school.
You're making a mistake.
You should come too.
Your absence is getting too much attention.
You're the only one who knows my secret.
Keep it that way.
Just like any other secret.
Alright, just chill.
Can I buy you a coffee?
I don't want coffee.
Okay bye, I have to go home.
Uh, Kanat.
[peppy music playing]
Such is life, Mr Selim, there is nothing to do.
They come as they go.
You shouldn't stir it too much.
I am talking about the tea.
Anyway, I am sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
Was Mr Ziya sick?
Yes, I think.
But we didn't know.
You are friends with Mehmet, the lawyer of our school, right?
That's right.
Although it's not as new,
you must have had trouble.
Forget all this.
I hope you will use this last chance correctly.
I'll take your leave now.
Mr Selim?
Three new scholarship students have come.
Pay extra attention to them.
What does that mean? I didn't understand.
You know very well that our school has a reputation that we have to maintain.
And you think those three kids are going to jeopardize that. Right?
You're quite smart.
Are you excited for your first class?
Oh, I'm very excited.
You're going to love it.
Ekim? Ekim.
Come here.
Melisa, that's Naz's place, you know.
So? She'll sit somewhere else, darling.
Come Ekim, dear.
- Oh wow, you're looking smart. - Thank you so much, bro.
Is this desk empty? Can I sit here?
- Sit. - Thanks.
What happened, darling, is everything okay?
- What's up, baby? - Fine, darling.
Babe, is everything alright?
I don't know.
Come on, give me a kiss.
Great.
Nice shoes.
- What's the brand? - Do you like it?
They're not branded. I got them from the streets.
Are you joking?
Can I tell you something?
This school does not comply with such down standard goods.
Get it?
Guys, come here.
- Come on - What is going on?
What's happening?
Stop, stop, stop!
I'll take it off!
Bro, I already know they are shitty!
Wow, amazing shoes.
Hey, there's no need to do all this. Hold on.
- I won't wear them from tomorrow. - What are you doing?
I'm doing what needs to be done.
Here, take this.
Oh, damn.
Who's this?
Great.
My first day
is starting like this.
Who is he?
Guys, I am...
your new Literature teacher, Selim Bender.
I'm so sorry, Sir. Today is my first day.
They were making fun of me for wearing fake branded shoes.
I mean, I didn't know better.
But it's okay, I enjoyed. It won't happen again.
Is that so?
- Are you the new kid? - Yes.
This is not how it works.
We're not going to leave our friend alone, are we?
I'm new, too. If that's the way it is, then I'm taking mine off too.
Awesome.
Okay. I expect the same from you.
And I'm serious.
Let's see how you feel.
I think he's mad.
Let's see everyone's branded shoes today.
Come on!
What are you waiting for? Come on!
He must be crazy.
Who does this?
Where did you come from, exactly? What is this?
Don't know what's going on.
You're not taking it off?
I can't deal with it.
Then get out!
Okay.
Quite a lot of people stayed back.
Let's begin with our studies.
So, the subject of today is, Why
does the enemy look at the feet
while the friend looks at the head?
Yes, start writing.
Let him take my shoes off if he has the guts.
I'm giving this guy a month.
We'll make him run away without even looking back.
I've seen a lot of people like this come in to this school.
- They try to boss around. - Exactly.
Melisa?
Why don't you ever get along with any Literature teacher?
No, I'm saying the truth.
Ziya sir didn't like you, and I think this one doesn't like you either.
Shut up!
Melisa, you're not upset for me, are you?
You're playing with your fingernails again.
Okay, girls, let's calm down.
We're going to play this guy so hard to get,
he's going to run away himself. He won't even know where to hide.
- You'll see. - I agree.
Who the hell does he think he is?
He's going to take our shoes off!
He doesn't know us yet.
Of course he doesn't know us yet, but he will.
He will!
Look, Miss B is here.
Guys.
Why aren't you in class?
You should ask that to our new literature teacher.
We could not understand him at all.
Maybe you will.
[dramatic music playing]
Sometimes you look at your friend's feet too.
Sometimes you have to.
If that foot is naked and covered in blood.
And if her shoe is a few feet away from her, on the ground.
Then you look at your friend's feet.
When you find out that those feet can never walk again,
that's when a person turns stone-hearted,
when they find out that they can never walk again.
Hey!
Here, take a ride.
No, I can't drive.
Then why were you staring at my car?
I was just looking.
You lie too much.
What do you want?
I'm not looking for anything!
Why didn't you stand up to those bullies?
Darling, I'm doing a very solid tactic.
Listen, if you want to have fun, you have to mingle with people.
Nobody cares otherwise.
We'll all be good friends soon enough, you'll see.
What are they writing there?
Sorry.
It's okay.
Shall we write too?
Bekir, what are you doing? Come on.
What does it say?
Hypocrite.
Is it about the deceased?
- Let's write something too. - Bekir, let go!
Hold on, let me write.
May god grant his soul
peace.
I'm sorry. Did I scare you?
Ekim, let me ask you something.
The girl who had an accident...
Do you know her?
She's my best friend.
Sorry. Was I rude?
What happened here?
This... Nothing.
Don't worry, I'll fix it.
We'll cover it with this. Come on.
No need, I don't want to cover it.
Why?
Why don't you want to apply it?
I can't have my new friend walking around like this, come here.
I'll fix it.
Take this. Keep it with you.
It will always come in handy.
See you tomorrow.
Bye.
WHY HAVEN'T YOU ANSWERED ME FOR DAYS?
MELTEM?
HEY! ARE YOU THERE?
I WAS ABROAD. I JUST GOT BACK.
Where are you Kanat?
Reply something.
Girls, have you seen Kanat?
Why aren't you answering my calls?
It was on silent.
I missed you a lot.
Did you hear about the new literature teacher?
He terrorized our class.
I don't know. I didn't come to class today.
So, where are you going tonight?
Melisa, we have broken up!
You know that, right?
So stay away from me.
You shouldn't say that in public.
You didn't object when I introduced you as my boyfriend this morning.
Because I didn't want to humiliate you.
But you'd better accept it now.
Everything is over.
Move your hand.
[dramatic music playing]
[doorbell rings]
Mr Kanat, please don't make noise.
Your mother is having a migraine again.
Didn't your brother come with you?
- No. - But he'll make it for dinner, right?
Your mother said you must eat together.
