Social Impact

The movie was shot during the Turkish industrialization. At that time, urbanization also accelerated in Turkey. Rural to urban migration rate was higher than industrialization and employment rates. As a consequence, people began to construct slums in areas without occupancy permit. In 1970's, most of the citizens were living in slums in the big cities of Turkey. The characters of the movie who faced financial and health problems, also lived in slums. The movie clearly reveals the difficulties that people faced at that time.
