Sinekatalog’s take

An American professor travels to eastern Turkey in the early eighties to research the political situation. The setup mixes romance with politics, but the treatment likely plays as melodrama, for viewers of that blend.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
