Ali, an honest and honorable man, moves to Istanbul when he is transferred there. He moves in with his sister Hacer and brother-in-law Yakup. Yakup's niece Ayşe also lives in the same house. From the day he starts his job as a civil servant, Ali reacts against the swindlers and bribe-takers around him. As a result, his boss and other civil servants become uncomfortable with the situation. When Yakup runs away with the money he collected to build a mosque, Ali and Ayşe are left alone. Not wanting to leave each other, the two get married. Ali is fired from his job for preventing the civil servants from taking bribes and goes to the village with Ayşe. Yakup, who has fled to Istanbul, calls Ali and Ayşe to join him at his insistence. Ali and his family, who go to Yakup's side out of desperation, will never be able to escape their troubles.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic comedic drama around the clash between the protagonist's naive integrity and the cynical world of urban bureaucracy. It explores themes of moral choice, relying on recognizable archetypes and plot turns characteristic of Turkish cinema of the era.

What lingers after viewing is a blend of irony, gentle social satire, and the warm bond between the central characters, leaving a bittersweet aftertaste. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Atıf Yılmaz
