Ana Hakkı Ödenmez

Fatma and Orhan are a happily married couple with a baby. However, their little baby has contracted a rare disease and needs surgery. Under the circumstances at that time, the surgery could only be performed abroad and required a large amount of money. Orhan's efforts to find the money are unsuccessful. Meanwhile, the daughter of the owner of the company where he works is in love with Orhan and is pressuring her father to allow her to marry him. Her father, however, is unwilling to destroy his own home, even for the sake of his daughter's happiness. However, as his daughter's obsession reaches a fever pitch, he tells Orhan about the situation and offers to give him the money needed to save his child in exchange for divorcing his wife and marrying his daughter. Orhan vehemently rejects this offer, but this time, the ugly proposal is made to Fatma, who is now a mother.

Directed by Osman F. Seden, Ana Hakkı Ödenmez leans on a strong ensemble — Fatma Girik, Ediz Hun, Ahmet Mekin — 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 1968.
