The history of the film is pretty cool, all but one copy was destroyed during the 1980 Turkish coup d'état. In 2011 it went through a pretty hefty restoration effect to try and put it back together piece by piece. Sadly that affected the quality a bit, some parts are missing which leads to a pretty disjointed and weirdly paced story at some parts. Finished product is just ok in all, but the underlying themes are well done.
