lame rhythm

“Güldane had lit a single candle in the bathroom and turned her back to the glass. He didn't know how many people were out there, who they were, how old they were. He didn't care. He was on his own. He just knew that he was being watched, and this secret game made the membrane of his heart tremble. No touch, the deepest kiss, the sweetest lovemaking could replace this game. Güldane was falling in love at that moment; She was falling in love with herself in the eyes of the audience.”

The paths of a fifteen-year-old “Gypsy” girl, trying to discover her sexuality, and a “macho” taxi driver, who is almost thirty-five, intersect at an intersection in the middle of Istanbul. This is how a steaming love story begins. Aftermath: In the middle of poverty, in a haystack in the mirror of dreams…

Gaye Boralıoğlu tells the strange story of Halil and Güldane in Aksak rhythm. How violence and desire change the lives of two people, how these two strong emotions feed each other and pass through each other, turning lives upside down; We read it with a fascinating and gripping narrative, to the rhythm of Güldane's brother Yunus's darbuka.
