A beautiful girl too.

You Like her?

Yes, God bless her.

She's one of a kind too.

Go on, serve the tea.

Osman, the lady's son,

has just done his military service.

I'd love all my granddaughters

to be married

while I'm still alive.

What is the young man doing now?

Welcome, Osman.

Thank you.

Come and sit here.

Do you know each other?

By sight.

How are you?

Good, and you?

Very well, thank you.

Do you like her, Osman?

They're still so young and shy.

But they'll grow fond of one another.

With time, God willing.

Shall we ask the men to join us?

To settle the matter.

Right now?

Why not?

The children seem to like each other.

Welcome.

Good evening.

Go and fetch some more chairs.

It seems the children like each other

and the women are agreed.

With God's blessing

and the Prophet's word

I ask for your daughter's hand

for our son.

Very well. It's agreed.

It's agreed.

Osman, your ring.

Congratulations!

At least that was settled.

And while we were at it...

We could watch some matches together.

Who do you support?

The national team!

Do you drink alcohol?

No.

With God's blessing

and the Prophet's word,

I ask for the hand of your daughter

for our son,

with your full consent.

If God wills it,

we have nothing to say.

Two down.

Lale, I have to take

your measurements too.

-Grandma...

-Yes, my child?

Where do I put these?

In Sonay's chest.

Those are Selma's.

We'll keep these for Ece's wedding.

-Ece's wedding?

-Of course.

All About Sex

Do I really have to sleep with Osman?

Straight away?

Why are you so worried?

You're not a virgin?

Of course I am!

You can tell me.

No, honestly.

Listen...

Me and Ekin make love

but I'm still a virgin.

How?

We do it the back way.

The back way?

So I stay a virgin

and no chance I'll get pregnant.

If my mother had a boat,

she'd sail it to me

If my father had a horse,

he'd ride it to me

If my brothers and sisters

knew where I am

They'd come looking for me...

They're coming!

Come on, girls!

They're here!

Get ready.

Where are the veils?

Sonay!

-Where are you?

-I'm here.

Put your veil on, they're here.

Where's the veil?

Hurry up!

Hanife!

Put her veil on, quick!

Erol?

Are you coming?

-Welcome.

-Wait a minute!

Wait.

At a wedding,

the girl's family plays hard to get.

Sit on those chests, girls.

Don't surrender too easily.

Now we're playing hard to get?

My love!

What's the matter?

If you don't want to marry Osman,

run away.

How?

Just get in a car and go.

Where?

To Istanbul, like everyone.

It's

And I can't drive.

Goodbye.

Stop it, you'll make me cry.

It was the last time

we were all together.

-Did it hurt?

-Yes.

-What was it like?
