About Museum of Innocence:
Adapted from Orhan Pamuk’s internationally acclaimed novel, Museum of Innocence tells the turbulent story of Kemal, a member of one of Istanbul’s wealthy families, and Füsun, his poor and distant relative, which begins in the 1970s. Defying everyone around him for the sake of his feelings for Füsun, Kemal starts collecting her earrings, hairpins, even the cigarette butts she smoked… Is love an obsession and a pain that strikes us like an accident and leads us astray, or is it an innocent and profound happiness?
