This is an absurd, surreal comedy which makes you die with laughter. In the opening episode, Gandalf-like white-bearded grandfather who reigns in the realm of dreams descends into the real world to help Majnun (Madman) in his pursue to get to Layla. In the series, every time they get together something comes up and they break up. Ismail Abi (Bigbrother)and Erdal Bakkal(Grocery) are the funniest characters. Ismail Abi is an orphan who was abandoned by his mother, raised by his father. He always wears colorful suits because his father told him his mum left them because they had not have a colorful life. This lonely, affectionate man is the most positive character. Erdal Bakkal is the anti-hero character in the series. He always makes contradictory comments on anything. He is the Debbie Downer of the series. There are villains who try to prevent Majnun from getting to Layla. They are also funny in their own rights. It is funny The major villain is a maniac of chess but always loses his matches.
