Plot
A Turkish drama directed by Yavuz Özkan, released in 1979. It won the Golden Orange when the awards for 1979 were finally presented in 2011, after the military coup of 1980 had led to the cancellation of the festival that year. The film belongs to the politically engaged cinema of the late 1970s, and is remembered as an important work of that period.
Sinekatalog’s take
Yavuz Özkan's 1979 drama, banned in the aftermath of the 1980 coup, won the Golden Orange only when the 1979 awards were finally given in 2011. Stern and socially alert, it is a well-regarded relic of a suppressed era.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
