Plot

After his pregnant wife killed by thinner addicts, Ersin Balkan, decides on to establish a school for children who are abandoned ad thinner addicts. Noticing that he can not afford a such thing with his salary, takes a new career and becomes a singer.

Sinekatalog’s take

A grieving father becomes a singer to fund a school for street children, in a melodramatic mix of music and social message. Good intentions are obvious, but the tone swings clumsily between comedy and tragedy. Probably for fans of old Turkish sentimental pop dramas only.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
