This is a story of a shared destiny... It is the story of two brave souls who worked for the same purpose but did not know each other, who never stopped believing in themselves even for a moment, and found each other with the unifying power of music. Kurtuluş, after losing his father, returns to Karaman from Istanbul with his two sisters. His biggest passion in life, his life force that keeps him alive is music. His ambition grows as he writes, as he creates, as he sings. However, economic difficulties do not leave him be. He has a family to support and his music does not bring in enough money. Therefore, without his heart’s consent, his mind knows what needs to be done. Like his older sister, he has to work in a factory and abandon music. But a miracle happens the night before he was supposed to start working and Kurtuluş 's life changes forever with a phone call. Burak is a passionate young man who has turned the second floor of his father's grocery store into a studio in order to make music. Even though his friends ridicule his love for music, he never gives up on working and writing. His family wants him to finish his school and take over the grocery store. Nobody sees music as a real job. Even if they appreciate Burak's ambition and passion, they don’t hold themselves back from saying "have a real job, then you can still play your instruments.". Burak believes in himself, strives, writes, works, and sings until he receives the news that breaks his heart. He gives up on music that night. Just when he leaves everything behind, a miracle happens in his life too. A phone call that came to him the same night changes his whole life too. One of them starts his journey from Karaman, the other one from Elazig. These two young musicians, who didn't know each other but shared the same goal in life, meet in Tolga Aykut's office. Two tough, young souls… They clash first, then become friends, and then brothers over time. Tolga is not a boss but a big brother to them. They slam their fists on the table, together. The duo both spar with each other but also work hard together. One writes, one sings, then the other writes, and the other sings. The roles change, but hard work does not. They lock onto their shared target and walk together, without forgetting what they came for and what they do. They run towards their dreams. And that moment finally arrives… Kurtuluş and Burak will go to their first concert. However, man plans, and God laughs. They both receive news that will change everything forever… Sevmedim Deme is a story that is adorned with the songs of Kurtuluş Kuş and Burak Bulut, who conquered our hearts; It is the story of what one can achieve if you do not give up, believe in yourself, are ready to struggle and work hard. A story that hurts and aches, but also relieves, treats those wounds… A story in which people do not give up on their fellow companions.
