Kutsal Damacana

Fikret, a former sailor, struggles to adjust to life in Istanbul and begins frequenting the local church. When the priest, Artin, leaves for a trip to the Vatican, Fikret sells off the church's valuable wine collection and sleeps in the priest's quarters. He spends his days betting on horse races and mentoring Asim, a gullible boy from the neighboring car wash who looks up to him like a father. Fikret and Asim hear about Deniz, a wealthy widow convinced her sister Selen is cursed and willing to pay handsomely for a cure. Fikret poses as a priest to visit Deniz's home—and finds himself in far deeper water than expected.
