    A unique Turkish view of the devil

    A surreal dream and scenario rising on the pillars of reality. The decreasing gratitude of individuals after fulfilling their wishes and their worsening characters are in the foreground. It is a matter of curiosity how the human being, who was created as good by God, evolved over the years. It brought a touch that was contrary to its period and era with successful acting, use of idioms, dance and music scenes. It is definitely in a unique place in terms of Turkish cinema. The bad side of the film is that its view of women is sexist and that the idea that women are complicated and excessive in everything is processed.
