Rose Lace on My Headscarf (Çemberimde Gül Oya) (translated)

Çemberimde Gül Oya is a Turkish drama and political series directed by Çağan Irmak, showing slices of life in Turkey before September 12, 1980. It began on Kanal D on September 3, 2004, and ended on July 1, 2005, with its 40th episode. Irmak once said that the series succeeding was a miracle. The music and arrangements are by T&J Project, and Esen Müzik released them as an album.

Yurdanur Eroğlu's story opens during the student unrest at universities in the 1970s. She comes from a circle of friends who keep away from the right and left factions, and in the turmoil a stray bullet kills her closest friend. The only person who helps her is Mehmet, a young leftist and organization member, who later becomes Yurdanur's husband and Feriha's father. Her right-wing parents, Dinçer Bey and Sema Hanım, stand in the way. Mehmet has quarreled with his own family and lives in the mansion of Madam Niki, who lets out all its rooms. The mansion is the main setting: the Aegean family of Suna Hanım, her grandson Ercan and Gazi Dede; Sultan from Urfa with her daughter Zarife and the foreman İbrahim; and Canan Cansev, a nightclub singer, all live there.

Özge Özberk plays the young Yurdanur, Mehmet Ali Nuroğlu the young Mehmet, Tuba Büyüküstün the young Zarife, Melisa Sözen Feriha and Füsun Erbulak Madam Niki. The series was also shown in Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia, and was dubbed into Arabic in a Syrian dialect for channels such as MBC4.
