Muharrem was unwittingly placed at the centre of an elaborate stunt in which he was secretly filmed encountering a host of strangers in a series of staged meetings through Istanbul.
The footage begins with him setting out for the day with his sister Ozlem, who is in on the set-up.
Before long, Muharrem is taken aback when he encounters a stranger who signs 'good morning' to him.
His surprise only intensifies when, on a visit to his local food store, the shopkeeper offers him 'hot bagels' through hand signals.
Another encounter involves a stranger dropping a bag of fruit.
When Muharrem helps pick them up, the man uses sign language to offer him an apple as a thank you.

When I was in college years ago I wanted to take a sign language class for my foreign language... School looked at me like I'd grown an arm out of my back.
I've still managed to pick up a little, it's something I always wanted to learn because working at a theme park as a teenager, I always felt badly that I couldn't communicate with deaf people.
Hopefully I'll fulfill that dream soon.

Thanks for the video. Things like this are much more preferable than ranting on climate change or government misdoings.
A nice ray of sunshine on this site, even if it was paid for by a corporate sponsor
