In Good Hands

In the end, it is revealed that Firat, who was believed to be just a romantic interest and her son’s father, is actually Melisa’s first love and the biological father of Can. Melisa had met Firat in a moment of chance at a club, but their brief night together resulted in her pregnancy. She kept this secret for years, raising Can alone as Firat was often unavailable or unaware. The revelation comes when Can unexpectedly encounters a man he recognizes as his “late father,” which shocks everyone. It turns out this man is actually Firat, Melisa’s old friend who had gone to Germany, and who had been the real father of Can all along. Melisa, weakened by her terminal illness, felt it was unfair to burden Can with the truth, and so she kept it hidden, even from Firat.

Firat struggles to process the shocking news at first, overwhelmed by the realization that he is a father and that Melisa had hidden her illness from him. Ultimately, he decides to accept his role as Can’s father and make up for lost time. In the final scene, Melisa, who had been battling her disease, walks towards the ocean and disappears, leaving only her shoes behind—possibly symbolizing her choosing an end on her own terms to escape her suffering. Firat and Can are left with a new understanding and connection, with Can gradually accepting Firat as his new father figure, holding onto the diary Melisa left as a link to her love and memories. The ending is poignant and bittersweet, emphasizing themes of love, sacrifice, and the often harsh realities hidden beneath the surface of seemingly simple lives.
