This romantic film, written and directed by Yilmaz Erdogan, is Turkey's entry for Best Foreign Language FIlm at the 2014 Oscars. Set in the 1940's against the backdrop of wartime Turkey and inspired by a true story, two young poets fall for the same beautiful aristocratic girl and decide to make a bet.  Both will write a poem for her -- and whichever poem the girl likes the best wins -- and the other suitor will fade from the scene.
