Plus, her inexperience is all the more noticeable alongside the more seasoned male stars. While there’s no doubting Sayin’s beauty, her performance as the girl/woman Nihal is simperingly mannered rather than entrancingly seductive. Given this premise, “Our Grand Despair” (Bizim Buyuk Caresizligimiz) relies heavily on the charms of the female lead. (“We’re real pigs,” they realize.) Before long, they discover that they’re both falling in love with the pretty, demure, much younger university student. The ‘boys’ take some time to adapt to having their bachelor existence compromised by a female presence. They’re soon joined by the traumatized Nihal (Gunes Sayin), sister of their friend Fikret (Taner Birsel), who needs somewhere to stay following the death of her parents in a car crash. After several years away, Cetin has moved into Ender’s comfortable downtown apartment in Ankara, the Turkish capital.

Now in their late 30’s, the pair have enjoyed a very close, platonic bond since high school.

Ender and Cetin seesaw between feeling like protective fathers to acting like nervous school boys, wondering if they should confess their true feelings to Nihal.At the heart of the film, adapted by director Seyfi Teoman from Baris Bicakci’s novel in collaboration with the author, is a long-time friendship between bookish, bespectacled Ender (Ilker Aksum) and his more down-to-earth pal, the bearishly burly Cetin (Fatih Al). But Ender and Cetin don't want to disrespect their good friend nor confuse his still-fragile sister. Before they see what's coming, both men fall in love with the enchanting Nihal. Ender and Cetin now seem like an old married couple. Nihal is touched by the men's loyal friendship. Nihal enjoys discussing literature and poetry with scholarly Ender, and she finds comfort in boisterous Cetin's earthy humor. Always caring and protective gentlemen, Ender and Cetin are intent on being conscientious guardians. Nihal soon comes out of her depressed shell and the two men discover a vibrant beautiful young woman. But simple daily rituals like sharing meals eventually bring the three roommates together for more pleasant moments.

What possessed them to accept the responsibility of a university student in their home? Especially a girl struggling with the trauma of recently losing her parents in a car accident. The 30-something longtime friends are overwhelmed by the presence of the uncommunicative Nihal. Summary: 'The peaceful cohabitation of bachelors Ender and Cetin is disrupted when they allow a friend's sister to move in with them.
