SYNOPSIS

The late 1990s, Turkey... As the conservative state radio's monopoly ends, so an increasing number of private radio stations come on air daily. Among the new stations, one airs a program that breaks all the rules of conventional Turkish broadcasting. "Have we had sex before?" is the question that greets women listeners on air, while "We'd really like to stay with you all night, but as you know, we have a sex life too" is the show's closing tag line. The show, hosted by two men, Kaan and Mete, is called The Losers' Club. Kaan owns a publishing house which publishes alternative book - the kind that don't sell. Mete runs a bar in Kadikoy and is a dedicated old records and documents collector. Both are lonely, neither are involved in a serious relationship, and both are surviving on one-night stands. In the second half of the 1990s, they begin hosting a new radio show just for fun.
