Unutulmayanlar (2006)
Aziz, a former Yeşilçam director, was devastated when the woman he loved, Leyla, starred in a sex film, and he left Istanbul. Thirty years later, the stubborn man sells everything he owns and returns to Istanbul to film the script he has kept under his arm. Upon arriving in Istanbul, Aziz's first task is to find his "old friends." The elderly crew members are excited by the idea, but none of them are where Aziz left them, or as he left them. A lot has changed since then. Most of them have moved away from cinema and are doing other jobs. Aziz's determined attitude convinces the old crew that they can make the film. His friends know that Aziz wrote this script for Leyla at the time, and they suggest casting her in the role. Aziz vehemently refuses. His friends realize that the wounds are still fresh, and Aziz has not been able to let go of Leyla. It is clear that Aziz and Leyla are in for a difficult reckoning.
