Istanbul is a rare city, where great ancient cultures still affect the lives of modern citizens, and where religious life co-exists with secular society. Wrong Rosary follows a love story that could only take place in a city like Istanbul.
Musa, a young muezzin (the man who calls the faithful to prayer at a mosque) finds himself drawn to Clara, who lives in his apartment building and who, crucially, is a Catholic nun. Musa also meets an antiquarian bookseller, Yakup, who has a connection to Clara. As the lives of these three people intersect, director Mahmut Fazıl Coşkun plays down the melodrama and emphasizes the depth of the relationships that the characters have with each other, and with the intriguing city of Istanbul itself.

The ByTowne doesn't have a parking lot of its own, but denizens of downtown can usually find street parking close by fairly easily.
This web site is very useful, but the hard copy of the ByTowne guide still has its merits. People rely on it and love it. Plus, its calendar pages can be pulled out and posted on your fridge door, something that we still can't achieve with the web site.
