Turkish melodrama "valuable time" - this is the story of a fatal passion, and a sad story about how those who need to understand and protect the most close and native, are the worst enemies than those who could imagine in nightmares.

Captain

In the yard in 1967, Ali ACARS (Ercan Petekkaya) captain, is at home only in between flights. In Turkey, it is waiting for a faithful wife Jamila (Aicha Bingöl) and four children in Holland mistress Carolyn (Wilma Elles).

Family drama in historical perspective

The series "precious time" begins in the late 60s, and finishes this time. This is a significant historical period, however, the action develops gradually. Traditionally, Turkish TV series, one series lasts an average of two hours so the series has 94 series. For European viewers are accustomed to the series of 45 minutes, the TV series is converted into a more conventional timing, so the adapted version has 193 series.

In any case, that air time is more than enough to reflect the details and nuances of each historical period, as well as to accommodate a lot of drama, causing episodes of empathy. "Valuable time" is more than a family drama, the story is reflected in a number of significant social and political changes that took place through Turkey during that time. Family ACARS is a kind of mirror, which reflects events in the country. The director of the project was Zeynep Gunay ("lost years"), having a particular passion for the shooting of the landmark series.

Stealing Time

Meanwhile, the most important thing, as is customary in the melodrama, is the relationship between the characters. It is worth remembering that the action does not take place in modern-day Turkey, where there is some progress in women's rights, political freedoms, the host country of many European values. That Turkey, which appears on the screen, it is a reminder of the past, the horror, which could experience a woman who divorces her husband.

Jamila is in an extremely difficult situation after the divorce with Ali. Aicha Bingol plays perfectly his character: without words, for some simple actions you can guess that she does not love her husband with the passion that he is looking for, she takes it respects and values, as befits his wife. She cares about the education of children engaged in the house, but that it is not enough. It has to change dramatically after she is left alone, to become stronger and tougher. Another great actress of the series - the eldest daughter of Ali Yildiz Berrini by Chagry Aksoy, she embodies the spirit of confrontation, sincerity and commitment to the truth.

"Valuable time" brilliantly reflects a generational change. Time is running out, it mercilessly, the children become adults, adults age, old people die. The series tells the story that the decisions made today affect tomorrow. The transience of events once again underlines the fact that may be too late to change anything. This is sad, and life.

In general, the "precious time" is a very rich melodrama, which, inspired writers did not leave until the very end: in each series is enough action, vitality, sadness and joy. Attractive tie seamlessly flows into a viscous, meaningful narrative, spanning his strength so much that you can not help but notice how much valuable time is lost by the time when the show comes to an end.
