Plot

There is a tense love between Gelincik and Ali, who grow up together. Ali, who can't stand the coming and going of Gelincik, is about to leave the cergi, and he falls into prison because of Gelincik's slander.

Sinekatalog’s take

Two people who grow up together share a tense, thorny love that leads to jealousy and imprisonment. The melodrama is passionate and period-flavoured. Appealing to viewers who like stormy romances from the golden age of Turkish film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
