Miracles Of Love (Mucize 2 : Aşk)

The Miracle: Love

Based on a True Story

This is the story of me and my husband Aziz.

I used to wonder whom, when and where I would marry.

I imagined becoming a bride that everyone would admire...

...but nothing turned out the way I imagined.

I first saw my husband on my wedding day.

It was the hardest day of my life.

God gave me the heaviest burden to carry for the rest of my life.

Some promises turn a life upside down.

My father had me marry Aziz in return for his father's bravery.

My life was ruined and all my dreams were shattered...

...so that my father could keep his promise.

I didn't know what to do or where to go.

Out of all the people in this world, I ended up with Aziz and his flaws.

Being with Aziz was going to be a test for me.

I cried for days.

But when I found myself contemplating suicide, I made a decision.

I promised God that I would cherish Aziz's life as I would my own.

God entrusted Aziz to me.

After that day, I accepted my fate and embraced Aziz.

But that wasn't enough.

People were abusive towards me and Aziz.

So, I asked Mahir the teacher to help us and maybe send us somewhere else.

He put us on a train and set us to his own hometown.

Seven years ago, we started on this journey...

...to a brand-new world that we knew nothing about.

Are you Mizgin?

Welcome, I'm Mahir's wife. -Nice to meet you.

Come. Come here, Aziz.

Come on. Slowly.

Come. Yes.

Aziz, son...

Welcome.

I'm Bahattin. The movie guy.

Welcome, sweetheart. -Thanks.

Welcome.

Everybody is quiet and friendly around here.

Aegean people are just like their sea, calm and peaceful.

Don't you worry about a thing.

How's my husband?

He's great. He sent his love to all of you.

He said that he'd come when the school's over.

Mizgin, look!

Dad, can you pull over?

This...

...is a sea.

Come, come.

-Hello, welcome. -Hello.

Welcome to our town.

Thank you.

Aziz, welcome.

My father writes about you in his letters all the time.

Come on. Let's show them their new home.

Come on. Let's go, girl.

Yes, go ahead.

This can't be real.

May God forgive me, but this breaks my heart.

I can't believe my eyes. How is this possible?

He looks like the Hunchback of Notre-Dame.

Shut your mouth!

"The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" is one of the best movies I've ever shown.

Anthony Quinn.

Who is this guy? He looks like a snail!

We prepared this house for you. It's small but enough.

God bless you.

If you need anything at all, just come to us.

Thanks.

Mizgin, Aziz.

We'll pick you up tonight. We'll go to Izmir and see a show.

I'll bring you some clothes to wear tonight.

We'll see you then.

Let's go, dad. -See you.

Aziz.

This house is like a palace, isn't it?

Aziz, wait!

Aziz, hold on! Stop it!

Let me look at the house first.

Extra! Extra!

Read all about how the Russians attacked an American ship!

Read all about how President Kennedy threatened communist Cuba!

Extra!

Read all about how the Russians attacked an American ship!

Read all about how President Kennedy threatened communist Cuba!

Extra! Extra!

Read all about how the Russians attacked an American ship!

Extra! Extra!

Come on.

Why did you make me stare?

-Look how beautiful she is. -Yeah, but...

I'll be damned, they are holding hands.

What the hell?

Come on. Come here!

Come on!

Here, come on!

Here you go.

What are they doing here?

-Yasar, what kind of a dance is that? -Times have changed, Sema.

Mrs. Sema, this is the American twist.

It's trending all over the world right now.

Well, to hell with that trend!

You only live once, people. Life is short.

Let everybody live however they want.

Aziz, what a wonderful place we have come to, right?

-Thanks. -Enjoy.

Everyone's talking about Aziz and his wife.

I hope wasps sting their tongues then. All they do is gossip.

Talking nonsense won't change fate.

How will he earn a living like that? Who'd give him a job?

How will their marriage survive? That's what I'm most worried about.

The poor guy keeps standing there for hours ever since he came here.

He's just like you, Bahattin, always looking out to sea.

Was that a jab, Hasan?

No, Bahattin. We are used to you doing it. It's just that he does it all the time too.

Is me standing idle every day bothering you?

I'm sorry, Bahattin. You misunderstood.

It's possible to get rid of a snake's venom...

...but it's impossible to get rid of the venom of prejudice.

-Is that a line from a movie? -No, it's an Indian proverb.

If you bring this up ever again, I'll break your heart.

Bahattin, I just thought you were sad. I didn't mean to...

-Ladies, how was the movie? -It was great.

I told you, you know. You can't go wrong with Kirk Douglas.

There's no actor like him. He's my number one.

Cicek, you don't seem to have enjoyed the movie.

It was fine, but we get them 3 to 5 years later here, and that spoils it, Bahattin.

Don't start whining like your husband.

It takes a long time for them to arrive here.

It's not an easy thing, you now. Go, move on.

They should be grateful that they can watch these movies.

She says they arrive too late! This is not the US, you know.

How long will we keep on living off others?

How will we earn a living? How will we live, Aziz?

Aziz!

Aziz!

I missed you so much!

-That much? -Yes!

I missed you so much too.

You're going to make me cry.

-Welcome, Mahir. -Thanks, Mizgin.

Bahattin! Bahattin! They're here!

Teacher! Welcome.

Thanks, Ali.

Welcome, Mahir. What do we always say?

-Life is short. -Life is short.

-Forgive, help, be thankful. -Forgive, help, be thankful.

-Love, smile and be happy. -Love, smile and be happy.

My dear brother. It's great to see you.

My man!

Let's go. We will gather all our friends to have a feast in your honor tonight.

What do you say? -Sure. Let's go.

Come on.

Mahir, my word is final. You will take over the business.

Let's drink to my son-in-law. -Yes.

But I only know teaching.

You can do this, Mahir. You can.

Mahir, your job of educating children is the hardest of all.

You can do anything, man. You can.

Very well, then.

Mahir, can you tell us how it is over there?

-Was it anything like our elders described? -Yeah, it sure was!

Eastern people are monsters. They also have tails.

Do you really believe that people can have tails?

All those stories are just lies.

Ignorant people don't know those remote villages...

...but there's kindness, beauty, authenticity there.

Okay, then. Let's drink to our eastern brothers and sisters.

-Let's. -Cheers.

Mahir.

What's wrong with Aziz?

Aziz went through a serious illness when he was just a baby.

Due to poverty, all his family could do for him was save his life.

After that, neither of his limbs would function properly nor could he talk.

When I first saw him, it broke my heart.

I tried to help him.

I took him to a doctor.

They said that the damage to his body was permanent.

But he became my student.

He learned how to talk, read and write.

That's the whole story.

Aziz.

What is it? Are you bored?

Do you miss your family?

Yes.

You know what? They miss you a lot too.

-Guys, are you ready? -Yes!

Mahir, come on.

You must have missed playing this game. We're about to start.

Let's go. Come on.

-Turkish or foreign? -Foreign.

Go on. We are listening.

"Ashamed?

Shame is for good folks, it is not for bandits and robbers."

-"Gone with the Wind". -Wrong.

-"Casablanca". -No.

-Is it from an Elvis movie? -You are obsessed with Elvis. No.

-"12 Angry Men"? -No.

-"The Hunchback of Notre-Dame". -Cicek!

Is it "Twenty-Four Eyes", about that Japanese teacher Hisako?

No.
