About Cafer'in Çilesi
Cafer is the sole employee at the mansion owned by Atiye Hanım and Azmi Bey. Having worked at the mansion for many years, the owners trust Cafer implicitly. One day, Azmi Bey and Atiye Hanım leave for Romania for a month. They leave Cafer in charge of the entire house. After the homeowners leave, Cafer runs into his army buddy Refik. Refik, who was fired from his job the same day, moves into the mansion to stay with Cafer. Cafer's trust in Refik will get him into trouble.
Directed by Zeki Alasya, Cafer'in Çilesi leans on a strong ensemble — Zeki Alasya, Metin Akpınar, Filiz Ersürer — 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 1978.
