Bir Nefes Gibi

… life flows like a breath. And all that remains is the longing for what we wanted but could not do, and the awareness of all the experiences that made us who we are.

Sergio and Giovanna are preparing to set up a table with friends at their home on a sunny Sunday, when they suddenly find an uninvited guest: A tired-looking old man knocking on their door. The woman is Elsa Corti and she came from far away, from Istanbul. Elsa Corti, who returned to her country after nearly half a century of exile, has something to tell the new owners of her house, but more importantly, something to say to her sister, whom she has not seen for years, about the love of her life... Ferzan Özpetek takes his readers through Rome and Istanbul, the past and the present. It takes you on a mysterious journey between intertwined lives and destinies. Woven around the dark secrets of two sisters who parted ways with an event that took place years ago when they were like flesh and nails, Bir Nefes Gibi tells the story of those who are captured by their passions, those who challenge fate, love, betrayal and the hope that years cannot exhaust despite everything...
