Our take

Queer World marries the comedic prowess of Kemal Sunal with Zeki Ökten’s adept direction, spinning a compelling tale of a musician navigating life’s disparities. Enhanced by Bugay’s insightful script, Sunal’s award-winning portrayal adds depth to this unique blend of comedy and social critique.
