Plot

The story of a street child's life is told. Kemal lives in the same house as Murat, who is also homeless. He works to pay for Murat's education. One day, when he is unable to get paid for his work, he is forced to steal. As a result, he is sent to prison. His sentence is extended due to a crime he commits while in prison. Years later, when Kemal is released from prison, he will resort to illegal activities in order to help people.

Sinekatalog’s take

A Turkish drama about a street child who steals to pay for another boy's schooling and turns to crime on release from prison. It is melodramatic and sentimental. Of limited interest outside Cüneyt Arkın completists.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
