About Kayıkçı
A charming girl, in her dress reminiscent of the sea breeze, comes to the main square of a small town. An old song begins and enchants the heart of a young man. A deaf-mute fisherman from Smyrna falls in love with a singer from Chios.
Directed by Biket İlhan, Kayıkçı leans on a strong ensemble — Memet Ali Alabora, Katerina Moutsatsou, Mustafa Avkıran — 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 1999.
