Summer Single

Orhan, who works at a bank, has an unhappy marriage. His wife, Şermin, drinks constantly, gambles, and neglects her family. Orhan tries to keep his marriage going for the sake of his son. However, one day, after an argument with his wife, Şermin leaves home. After his wife leaves, Orhan meets Leyla, a singer. What begins as a simple fling turns into love for Orhan. However, being with Leyla will not be as easy as Orhan had imagined.

Directed by Osman F. Seden, Summer Single leans on a strong ensemble — Tarık Akan, Gülşen Bubikoğlu, Deniz Erkanat — 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 comedy titles of 1974.
