Delibal

Barış, an architecture student with bipolar disorder, notices Füsun and feels a powerful, unfamiliar love. He decides to pursue her even before he knows her name, driven by a longing that reshapes his world. Their connection deepens quickly, and they soon marry, turning life into something almost fairy-tale-like.

In the early days after the wedding, Barış's charm and sincerity win Füsun over. She focuses on finishing university and pursuing a master's in America, while Barış promises to protect and support her. The couple embraces a life that feels magical and complete.

Everything feels magical until the day the fairy tale cracks and Barış disappears, leaving Füsun and his distraught parents bewildered. The sudden absence creates a void that tests trust and raises questions about what happened. The family struggles to understand the reasons behind his disappearance.

As Barış's bipolar disorder unfolds, his mood swings and moments of detachment grow more pronounced, and hallucinations intrude on everyday life. The medications meant to steady him leave him numb, deepening the strain on his relationship and fueling Füsun's concerns.

Füsun's worries about fidelity intensify as Barış's condition worsens, weaving doubt into their marriage. She misreads his detachment as betrayal, adding emotional strain.

To help her understand, Haydar visits Füsun and recounts how Barış's illness once made him fear for his own safety around them. His account reveals a pattern of volatility behind the behavior she has noticed.

In a long, exhausting day, Barış persuades Füsun to go on a bike ride; her hesitation gives way to his infectious enthusiasm. The ride marks a turning moment, as the thrill he seeks clashes with her fear.

During the ride, he chases a rush and loses control, and the fear in Füsun's eyes shatters his world. This moment deepens his resolve to protect her, even from himself.

During the same flashback, he records a final video that expresses his deepest love, fears, and the promise to shield Füsun from the danger of his condition. The video serves as a personal testament to a man torn between affection and fear.

Driven by love and the burden of his illness, Barış decides to leave, hoping for forgiveness and acknowledging the danger his condition poses to her. He confesses that being madly in love can feel like a poison that might have harmed her if he stayed.

After his disappearance, authorities locate Barış's body, confirming his death. Füsun and his parents grapple with the shards of a life together that ended too soon.

A confession found on a CD lays bare Barış's innermost feelings, fears, and unwavering wish to protect the woman he loves, adding another layer of heartbreak for Füsun. The CD serves as a final, intimate document that reframes the couple's story.
