Nejat Uygur

Nejat Uygur, one of the greatest masters of Turkish theater, and his friends are here to entertain us with a hilarious show.

One of Nejat Uygur's most legendary plays, Cibali Karakolu, may sound like a cliché, but it will take you away from the troubles, splinters, agops, crow's feet, and other annoyances of daily life and bring you back to the true spirit of the site.

The film is a love story. However, it is not a story about the love between two people, but rather a story about the love and affection that a group of people feel for life and for each other. The film depicts all kinds of love, from east to west, from schoolchildren to villagers, from young to old, in both an emotional and humorous way.

Guner Sernikli is a government official who, with his wife and their wheelchair bound daughter, has been assigned as the head librarian to this isolated province, virtually an exile since there is no library in the village. The family is warmly welcome, but these are the years of political anarchy and leftist/rightist clashes in big cities and the youth of the village inevitably follow the tides. They arrive in Vizontele, just as the situation is becoming really absurd. Guner brings wisdom; his daughter Tuba brings beauty, innocence and love. Some like the Mayor, Nazmi Dogan and crazy Emin appreciate these things but they are in the minority and confusion continues to reign. The story is based on the memories of writer-director Yılmaz Erdoğan of the last summer of his childhood in Hakkâri, Turkey in 1980.

A timid, henpecked husband, dominated by his domineering mother-in-law (“kaynanatör”), finds himself in a chaotic mix of misunderstandings and slapstick as he navigates between his controlling wife’s family and his hopeful son-in-law.
