I am so grateful to find an Eco-feminst production from Turkiye. I am fed up with the father and son conflicts and praising of patriarch in the Turkish media. This serial was a fresh breath to take although there is still some issues concerning patriarch manifested by police, guns, father's black car etc..

Though i would like to see more of how did the mother and daughter decorated their private rooms. The rooms awaked the curiousity and hinted some mystery but at the end the rooms were plain and empty. Of course they could stay only for a short while in each hotel and had no chance to build a private space, yet i wish i could see more authenticity in the rooms.

Intertextuality between such a simple kids Classic Bambi is stunning. The serial earns my 8 shiny stars.

I found the film tragicomic and watched it (especially the last 20 minutes) in tears instead of cheer.

Though the themes such as how the political correctness shows itself in the secular Turkish society and how the youth coming from different intellectual and sociological background deal with the moral issues were worked out with humor, that did not suffice to overcome the despair of the upper class family overall. The discontent of the family, who is throwing the party, has never been resolved from the beginning to the end.

Overall the aim of the film of giving hope and joy regarding of the name "new year's eve" has not been achieved.
