Derbeder
This is a tragic love story between the Agha's daughter İpek and the poor farmhand Ferdi. The two lovers, who grew up in the same village, separated when İpek moved to the city, but their love continued. Despite the kinship between Abbas Agha and Ferdi's father, the Agha's change of heart when he inherits money puts an end to the friendship. Despite his father's warnings about Ipek, Ferdi doesn't listen and moves to the city, thinking that Abbas Agha will help him. As Agha despises Ferdi, he endures every insult and hardship for his love. Realizing that he cannot be with İpek while he's poor, there is only one way left for the young man to realize his dreams: to go to Istanbul.
