Bir Gün Bir Çocuk

The life of Mete, a successful and wealthy educator, is one that everyone would envy. He has financial security, a good job, and a loving wife. However, these things are not enough for Mete because nothing makes him happy. The pressure from his wife, who wants children, and his sick father, who wants grandchildren, has worn him down. To complete his doctoral thesis, he is forced to move to a remote settlement called Sevgi Evi. Mete, whose sole desire is to focus on his thesis, is in for a big surprise. The great happiness of the children at Sevgi Evi, who have nothing else in their lives, will cause Mete to question and change his own life.

Directed by Sinan Sertel, Bir Gün Bir Çocuk leans on a strong ensemble — Cemil Büyükdöğerli, Mehmet Usta, Denizhan Akbaba — 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 family titles of 2016.
