AND THE REST WILL FOLLOW

Dreamy housekeeper Aliye spends her days between hotel rooms, escaping into the lives of the guests. But after a brief encounter with a famous filmmaker, Aliye decides that she has a story to tell, leading to an entanglement of lives and fictions.

Aliye is a fan-girl of the renowned filmmaker Levent, who has arrived at the hotel she works at as the honorary guest of the Söke Film Festival. At first, as locals inundate the filmmaker with their sorrows and heartbreaks, hoping for a chance to immortalise themselves on the big screen, she quietly watches him from afar. But before long Aliye has pulled Levent into the murky waters of the past
