Read the six sentences for the date on the poster and the reason Burak first finds the door locked.

The idea

The poster says Friday at five, but Burak first thinks the screening is on Thursday. Yeniden okuyunca means when he reads it again; günü karıştırdığını anladı says he realises he mixed up the day.
