Plot

Tunç Başaran's 1989 drama, whose title means "Don't shoot the kite", has become a classic of Turkish cinema of the late 1980s. It is remembered for its emotional force and its sympathetic look at the lives of its characters, and for the way it set a lyrical image of a kite against a harsh reality.

Sinekatalog’s take

Tunç Başaran's drama of a boy, a kite and the adults around him became a classic of late-1980s Turkish cinema, remembered for its emotional force. Its sympathy for its characters, and its title's plea, still move audiences.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
