Plot Synopsis
It is planned to have 18-year-old Ali, son of the mayor, get married to Nese, the daughter of the neighbours across the street. The resolution to consolidate the business of both families plays a major role in this decision.
Yet Ali is not a person, who can cope with the responsibilities and demands of a marriage. Although his family encourages him, until then he hasn’t slept with a woman before, which would be of great help for his forthcoming marriage Due to the pressure imposed by the mother, the family resolves to get a "pseudo-bride" for Ali.
Pseudo-brides are professional educators, who prepare 15 to 17-year-old young men for marriage, primarily in matters of sexuality
In our film Emine, the most successful pseudo-bride of the city is hired for Ali.
