+ we will not always walk at night, let's walk a little towards the sun."

Memduh Un is a very brave producer. Fikret Kuskan is an amazing actor. For 1992, this movie is truly ahead of its time. One year later, Fikret Kuskan will give life to another transgender character with the clip Orhan Atasoy - Gemiler.

I wish the restoration could have been better. But in this country most art is unclaimed.

A story both humorous and heartbreaking.

The story of a transvestite and a dwarf blended with drama, comedy and sadness. In addition to the extraordinary friendship of two outcasts, the movie represents the picture of a corrupt society while telling its story of two friends. Fikret Kuskan and Mevlut Demiryay harmonize well. Kuskan is a very talented actor, especially during 90's, and in this movie he supports the break of yet another wall for Turkish cinema. The last frame is bold. The story is not untold in Turkish cinema, but it adds another cultural and tragic layer to the overall picture. The director and producer are brave for their time for making this movie.
