Hi everyone!
I’d love to share different topics about Turkey with you — things like art, nature, food, and culture.
I truly hope you enjoy these posts and that your interest gives me the courage to keep going!
To start this journey, I wanted to begin with a film that was deeply loved by the Turkish people when it was released.
It’s a great example of how cinema can reflect our culture and values.
Let’s take a closer look at the details together.
🎥 About the Film
Babam ve Oğlum (My Father and My Son) is one of the most touching and acclaimed films in Turkish cinema. Directed by Çağan Irmak, the film tells the story of a family broken by the 1980 military coup in Turkey, and how they struggle to reconnect after years of emotional and ideological separation.
"A family story marked by political wounds, emotional silence, and deep love."
The film stars Fikret Kuşkan, Çetin Tekindor, and Tuba Büyüküstün — all delivering powerful performances that bring deep emotional resonance to the screen.
🧠 Why It’s Worth Watching
This is not just a family drama. It's a reflection of Turkey’s political past, its emotional impact on families, and the generational gap between tradition and rebellion.
If you're interested in understanding Turkish society, family structure, and the emotional scars of its history, this film is an excellent place to start.
