At the building next to Galata Tower is located Kenan and Afife’s apartment at the Turkish serial Dudaktan Kalbe (From the lips to the heart)(1). I went there twice searching for the place. On March 2012 and on December 2013.

I was absolutely thrilled to discover the building where Kenan and Lamia spent time together.  Here i am, in a rainy day, on December 10th. Nothing can stop me from going near the building, i go, i smell the traces of my favorite TV heroes, i am so close to them once more. Have they ever existed? I don’t care, i have felt so many emotions together with them, following their life, feeling less lonely.

Lamia is standing by the window, watching Kenan leave. She then takes a big decision, a decision that will change her life.

As for me i am wondering, at which window Lamia is standing?? Must be the one on the left, on the first floor..

The passages in Istanbul lead from east to the west, we stand so close to each other
