Our take

In this classic comedy, Kemal Sunal’s savvy doorman skillfully maneuvers through life’s social maze, unearthing humorous insights into class interactions. Embodying Yeşilçam’s lively spirit, the film charmingly portrays neighborhood culture, brought to life through Umur Bugay’s sharp-witted script.
