May It Never Be

Overview

Upon being released from prison, Ferdi (Ferdi Tayfur) returns home hoping to put his past behind him and lead a quiet, peaceful life. However, his hometown offers little sanctuary, as local rivals and old enemies are waiting to settle scores. Around the same time, Selma (Necla Nazır), a mother driven by necessity to work as an oriental dancer in a local venue to fund her child's education, arrives in the conservative town. Her line of work creates immediate friction and moral judgment among the locals. When Ferdi's enemies instigate trouble for her as well, Ferdi and Selma find themselves facing common adversaries. Brought together by shared hardship and local hostility, the two form an unexpected bond, supporting one another in a town determined to push them to the margins.
