When Kemal's wife Zeynep falls ill with a terminal disease, the family's life is turned upside down. A large amount of money is needed for treatment. Kemal accepts the offer of Lamia, who is in love with him, and divorces Zeynep. This allows him to secure the necessary funds for treatment. However, his forced marriage to Lamia leads him into alcohol and gambling. He frequently ends up in prison due to the crimes he commits. He secretly sends the money he earns to his son for his education. However, years later, his path will cross with his son, who now hates him.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
