About Bir Avuç Gökyüzü
Ahmet, who was arrested some time ago for a political crime, has been unable to escape the effects of those painful days. Except for his girlfriend Neşe, he views everyone and everything with suspicion and lives in a state of strange fear. He cannot share all his fears with his wife Ayşe because there is a fundamental incompatibility in their relationship. Moreover, he is constantly accused by his wife.
Directed by Ümit Elçi, Bir Avuç Gökyüzü leans on a strong ensemble — Aytaç Arman, Zuhal Olcay, Şahika Tekand — 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 1987.
