Faraway Plot/Synopsis
The official synopsis reads, “After inheriting a house on a Croatian island, a woman embarks on a spur-of-the-moment trip that reignites her joy in life and opens a door to new love.” Zeynep is unhappy as her life has not turned out as she wanted.
That’s why she flees to a Croatian island, where her deceased mother bought a house long ago. She hopes to find peace and relaxation finally – but she hasn’t reckoned with Josip, who still lives on the property. Zeynep Altin is at the end of her rope: she’s overworked and underappreciated by her husband, daughter and ageing father, and to top it all off, the funeral home has just put her beloved deceased mother in a man’s suit instead of her favourite dress.
It’s the final straw for Zeynep, who escapes Munich for the Croatian island cottage – her mother had secretly bought years ago, hoping to get some peace and quiet and find herself again. Zeyneb receives it as an inheritance and thus decides that it’s a sign to start living life in her own way, not pushed around by anyone.
But she doesn’t know that the previous owner of the house, still lives there and she ends up sharing the same with the man, she knows nothing about. Taken aback at first, the two eventually forge a friendship, as the man shows her around the island and Zeyneb takes the reign of her life in her hand. Through her time there, she learns the true meaning of freedom and peace.
