One-Way to Tomorrow

In ONE-WAY TO TOMORROW, Ali (Metin Akduler) finds Leyla (Dilan Cicek Deniz) in his train seat. They’re both embarking from Ankara for a 14-hour ride to weddings. She’s lost her bag and is irritable, uninterested in his harmless banter. But over the hours, through long talky scenes, it comes as no surprise that they share a close connection. They’re bound for the same wedding, she the aggrieved ex of the two-timing groom and he the heartbroken ex of the treacherous bride. Both reveal even more treacheries to the other until, hours into the train ride, they both recognize the folly of appearing at the wedding for either revenge or last-minute appeals. This is reportedly an adaptation of a 2014 Swedish film, How to Stop a Wedding, but it also resembles other meet-cute-traveling movies like Before Sunrise and Forces of Nature.
