A Small September Affair

In a sun‑kissed Turkish summer, a young woman from a privileged background finds her carefully curated life unsettled by a sudden car accident. Though she emerges physically unharmed, a bewildering gap haunts her: the entire month of September has vanished from her memory. The missing time feels oddly personal, echoing the meaning of her name, and forces her to question the stability of the world she thought she knew.

Determined to fill the void, she journeys to the breezy island of Bozcaada, a place she once visited without recollection. There she encounters a gentle, reserved local artist who seems to recognize her despite her own confusion. Their meeting is tinged with an uncanny familiarity, and his quiet demeanor hints at a deeper connection that might bridge the gap in her amnesia. The island itself, with its pastel houses, winding streets, and the steady rhythm of the sea, becomes a character in its own right—offering both solace and a subtle pressure to uncover hidden truths.

Meanwhile, the protagonist’s relationship with a successful movie star back home adds another layer of tension. Though his fame and charm paint a picture of a perfect “success story,” she cannot shake the feeling that something essential is missing from that partnership. The contrast between the glittering, public life she shares with him and the intimate, unassuming atmosphere of the island amplifies her internal struggle, inviting viewers to wonder whether love, memory, or something else will ultimately guide her.

The film weaves a tone of wistful mystery with delicate romance, inviting the audience to drift alongside the protagonists as they navigate questions of identity, loss, and the elusive pull of the past. As the sea breezes linger and the island’s quiet evenings unfold, the story promises a gentle unfolding of secrets, leaving the viewer yearning for the moment when the forgotten September finally whispers its answers.
