Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
1960s Turkish cinema loved cramming social issues into genre frameworks — this is basically a disaster movie wearing a soap opera's clothes.
Duygu Sağıroğlu was one of the few female directors working in Turkish cinema at this time, often centering women's emotional lives in male-dominated industries.
