Hüseyin (Ata Demirer) is a young man who lives with his grandfather and grandmother in a village in Thracian Turkey. The two great loves of his life are his clarinet and Müjgan, a nurse. Hüseyin is perfectly content with his music and his fantasies of Müjgan when an unexpected event causes him to leave the village. He ends up in Istanbul, where he is supported first by his clarinet and then by the singer Firuzan (Demet Akbag). A wildly popular nightclub performer who is eagerly working on an album, Firuzan leads a life that is as colorful as it is complicated. When Firuzan meets Hüseyin, the adventures and laughs begin.

We’re Turning 100!

To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
