A Round of Applause

Kuvvetli Bir Alkis

Expectant young couple Mehmet and Zeynep host some spoiled houseguests — while their most eagerly anticipated arrival is reluctant to emerge.

Metin is born, and Zeynep and Mehmet struggle with the demands of parenting. But it's when the baby falls asleep that the drama really begins.

Five-year-old Metin is brokenhearted and wants to talk things through with his ex-girlfriend. Back at home, his parents' relationship is also suffering.

Metin struggles at school, preferring to make music alone in his bedroom. Zeynep announces she's not in the mood to celebrate her birthday this year.

While working as a DJ, Metin bumps into an old flame. His mother begs for an answer to the question that's been bothering her since the day he was born.

Frustrated by her marriage and let down by motherhood, Zeynep tells both men in her life how she feels — but neither gives her the reaction she wants.
