Derin Emre fell in love with Montreal every time he found himself back here, in very different circumstances.
He first stepped foot here, and only for a few days, as a permanent resident. The next time, he accidentally joined a very successful YouTube channel, Yes Theory, where he rubbed shoulders with the likes of the former Mayor Denis Coderre and even former PM Justin Trudeau, all the while co-writing a feature film that starred the Quebecer actress Louise Portal. Years later, he once again returned to Montreal, working at a self-storage facility with a group of other Turkish immigrants.
Needless to say, he has seen many facets of Montreal and, by extension, Quebec — and he's loved them all.
And yet, he’s always had difficulty familiarizing himself with the local culture. Nothing helped him in small talk, let alone connecting with Quebecers.
That is, until he found Occupation Double, a dating show that is also one of the most popular mainstays of Quebec’s contemporary culture.
In a unique fashion —l iterally from his own computer’s desktop screen — Derin Emre recounts us his love story between him and Quebec, whether it's with its culture, its daily life, and even with some of its people.
