Based Istanbul Talks with Funda Eryiğit & Halit Ergenç

Is love a disease or a cure?
Is loneliness an escape or a solution?
“Whatever happens to us happens because we can’t stand loneliness” says Cem Taşkın, the architect of Love Hospital. But then, what is this “Love Hospital”? Netflix released the trailer for its new series Lovers Anonymous, starring Halit Ergenç and Funda Eryiğit, and it caused quite a stir. Written by Başar Başaran and directed by Umur Turagay, the series tells the story of a new patient of “Love Hospital” in every episode, and tries to find a cure for the greatest disease of our times, “love”.

Portraying two characters with opposing perspectives on love, Halit Ergenç and Funda Eryiğit are with us in order to answer our questions on the subject. Is everything caused by loneliness? Or are the fairy tales about finding the other half of the apple closer to reality?
