After an unfortunate love affair, Nesrin, who has become disillusioned with life, works in a boutique (she prefers to call it a tailor's shop) to support her poor and bedridden mother. Due to her introverted nature and melancholic demeanor, she is looked down upon by her coworkers, and because she was abandoned by her fiancé, she is also despised by her neighbors. Nesrin, a beautiful and charming young woman, is also harassed by shopkeepers. On the other hand, the wealthy factory owner Kenan Manizade is also dissatisfied with the life he leads. Tired of his spoiled and artificial surroundings and his cold and indifferent wife Banu, he longs for a simple and honest life. Then fate brings these two unhappy people together.

The lovely Ayşe moves from her country village to Istanbul in the hope of becoming an actress. One day she meets Haşmet, a grumpy, world-weary street photographer. He takes it upon himself to cure Ayşe of what he sees as her blind optimism, but some of it begins to rub off on the old cynic.

Mavi Sürgün is a fictionalized account of one period of the life of a Turkish journalist who was condemned to exile for an article he wrote in 1925. He turned his punishment into a reward by creating a little paradise in what is today the holiday resort, Bodrum. In fact he is considered by some to be the first ecologist. The film concentrates on this latter aspect of his character and through flashbacks portrays the inner turmoil of a man who is trying to come to terms with his past. The slow pace is somewhat of a drawback, the flashbacks are often confusing and the protagonist is not always very convincing. But the photography of the country side is exceptional Kenan Ormanlar and the short appearance by a very theatrical Hanna Schygulla of Fassbinder fame adds a little spice to the drama.

Tulay, a restless woman whose marriage is slowly disintegrating sets out to come to terms with various traumas while continually being watched by Halit, a resident in her apartment complex.
