Mahmut and Abidin work as comedians at a night club, Mahmut is honest yet Abidin is sly. A deaf and mute girl named Kumru is brought to work in the night club.
Sinekatalog’s take
Two night-club comedians, one honest and one sly, take a mute girl under their wing, and a quiet, bittersweet story takes shape. The film's tenderness and gentle humor stay with you. A thoughtful Turkish drama for those who appreciate warmth with melancholy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
