Trivia

The name of the movie is a play on words in Turkish. As the name of the neighborhood, Kurtulus, means salvation in Turkish. Which is in line with the plot of the movie. A group of women try to find salvation about their problems arising from their relations with men. The district is also important because, as one of the recently gentrified neighborhoods in Istanbul the occupants of the apartment represent people from all walks of life living together.

User Reviews

Not worth watching

Good cause, very talented actresses/actors but very bad movie. Is it fictional story or not? Because there's no logic in at all.

If you have spare time to watch anything, let it play on the background.
