Les clients d'Avrenos (1996)
Istambul, 1967. Two women meet at Avrenos, a tavern in the old city. Nouchi, the brunette, is mourning the death of Bernard de Jonsac, an employee of the French Embassy who recently died. It is Lélia, the blonde, who asked her to come. She wants to understand the ties that bound them both to Jonsac, to understand the strange couple that this desperate dandy formed with Nouchi, the ex-Bulgarian bar girl. Lélia, the middle-class woman from Istanbul, wants to understand at last, ten years after the tragedy that has left her confined to a wheelchair for life...
