Plot
A poet, who works as a waiter to make ends meet, postures as a female singer to end a blood feud between two families.
Sinekatalog’s take
A waiter-poet disguises himself as a female singer to end a feud between two families. The cross-dressing comedy is silly and good-natured, driven by its star's slapstick and warmth. A beloved piece of Turkish popular cinema, best enjoyed with a nostalgic mood.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
