About Kırlangıç Fırtınası
Kemal, who lives with his family in a small town, wants to go to Istanbul. He dreams of continuing his father's profession of shoemaking there. However, his father opposes Kemal's wish. Determined to leave the town, Kemal waits for his father to be persuaded. During this time, he falls in love with Gönül, a teacher in the town. Eventually, Kemal's father relents. Kemal moves from the town to Istanbul, where he will strive to realize his dreams.
Directed by Atilla Candemir, Kırlangıç Fırtınası leans on a strong ensemble — Perihan Savaş, Halil Ergün, Hüseyin Kutman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1985.

The film is a love story. However, it is not a story about the love between two people, but rather a story about the love and affection that a group of people feel for life and for each other. The film depicts all kinds of love, from east to west, from schoolchildren to villagers, from young to old, in both an emotional and humorous way.
