Haşhaş

Şahin, who works in a factory, lives with his daughter and father. A friend of his dies in an accident at the factory. Believing that the accident was caused by negligence, Şahin blames the factory management. As a result, he falls out with his bosses and quits his job. He searches for work for a long time but cannot find any. During this time, his daughter falls ill. He needs money for her treatment. Eventually, he starts working as a truck driver for a company. Through this job, Şahin finds himself caught up in a drug ring.

Directed by Ertem Göreç, Haşhaş leans on a strong ensemble — Ayhan Işık, Sadri Alışık, Selen Büke — 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 1975.
