Synopsis

In Competition

Ten-year-old Fatih lives with his mother and sisters. The only male in the house, he spends most of the time playing with them, never questioning gender roles, until his chauvinist Uncle Ahmet starts growing concerned, and decides to give his nephew some questionable life lessons about how real men are supposed to look and behave. But what does it really take to be a gentleman?
