The One that I Couldn’t Bear to Understand shows the breaking-up moment of a couple who has internalized the sassy, apathetic or aggrieved character types of the 90s Turkish pop to such an extent that they live through pop-song lyrics. The video both caricatures the aesthetic form of TV series and music videos of the time, and also makes us realize how much they have influenced our being.
