Those Who Love Like Me

Those Who Love Like Me (1978)

Benim Gibi Sevenler

Few dare to love so deeply. Fewer survive the pain.

Abandoned before birth by his wealthy father Mithat, Ferdi (Ferdi Tayfur) is raised by his struggling mother Zehra and her alcoholic, petty-thief brother. Pressured into crime during his youth by his uncle, Ferdi breaks free from the cycle after his uncle is arrested and builds an honest life as an auto mechanic. Meanwhile, Mithat grows into a wealthy businessman and becomes the guardian of Selma (Itır Esen), the daughter of a deceased friend. When Ferdi and Selma cross paths, they fall deeply in love, completely unaware of the hidden ties that link their families together. Determined to keep Selma for high society and protect his own status, Mithat fiercely opposes their relationship. Ferdi must fight against social prejudice, class hostility, and buried family secrets to protect his dignity and love.
