Storyline
A janitor/doorman and his family who came to "big city" Istanbul, with the hope to live a better life. With the different characters living in the building, the story evolves around the doorman and his tricky ways to skip work but make some extra cash on the side
1970s were intense year for Turkey. Political violence were escalating and class differences were getting more and more sharper. Within the upper class: justice, military, medicine, etc. were putting the pressure on low class (in this movie, the doorman). This movie is a metaphorical perspective to this age.
Is this movie fun? Well, it is your average Kemal Sunal comedy.
