About Gönül Garip Bir Kuştur
The film tells the story of the love between a female university student and a painter. Ayşe, who has come to Istanbul to attend university, is staying in a student dormitory. However, since she wants to move out of the dorm, she and her roommate Hatice start looking for a rental apartment. The two happen to rent Reşit Bey's house. One day, Ayşe and Hatice are invited by Reşit Bey to his nephew's art exhibition. Ayşe meets and befriends Reşit Bey's nephew Bedri there. As the two begin spending time together, their relationship gradually turns into love.
Directed by Yusuf Kurçenli, Gönül Garip Bir Kuştur leans on a strong ensemble — Harika Avcı, Bedri Baykam, Reşit Gürzap — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

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.
