Sinekatalog’s take
A young bride is married off to a rich farmer's ailing son, and the drama examines custom, desire and the burdens placed on women in rural Turkey. Halit Refiğ takes a firm social-realist view. A strong pick for admirers of classic Turkish melodrama with teeth.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
