Canavar Cafer

The film tells the story of Melike and Cafer, whose lives intersect by chance. Melike has lost her father, and Cafer has lost his mother. The two meet at the cemetery. Melike works at her father's newspaper. Cafer is a locksmith at a safe manufacturing plant. Melike's uncle Bekir plans to transfer all of her father's inheritance into his own name. Murat, who works at the newspaper, notices this situation. However, to obtain the sales documents, he must open Bekir's safe. Melike thinks that Cafer might be able to open the safe. Cafer, who has gotten into all sorts of trouble because of his honesty and straightforwardness, will get himself into trouble with this job as well.

Directed by Temel Gürsu, Canavar Cafer leans on a strong ensemble — Ali Poyrazoğlu, Arzu Okay, Hadi Çaman — 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 comedy titles of 1975.
