Did you know this? Barış, our hero, and his best friend Cankuş actually disliked each other long before Beta Kafe — because they had both dated the same girl at different times. They didn’t know this at first.
They only found out on the very first day on set.
At the director’s insistence, they agreed to work together anyway. And then things got strange: they realized that the same girl had manipulated and cheated on both of them, separately, playing them against each other without either of them knowing.
That’s why there’s a scene in the full Beta Kafe where Cankuş confronts Barış. The story itself is fiction — but the emotions aren’t. Those feelings came from years of resentment over someone who used them both.
Ironically, during the shooting of Beta Kafe, they let that past go. And by the end of the production, they had truly become best friends.
