About Kalbimdeki Yabancı
Osman has come to Istanbul to find work. However, he returns empty-handed from every place he applies to. Finally, one day his luck changes. He encounters a man who looks exactly like him. The wealthy gentleman is fleeing from the men who are after him. Switching places with Osman will save his life. The sharp young man accepts the offer. That evening, he plans to return the gentleman's clothes and wallet and go his own way. However, an unexpected accident throws his plans into disarray. The man he took the place of has lost his life in a train accident. Osman finds himself in an unfamiliar life. Thanks to his servant Mücteba, he quickly adapts to the situation. No problems arise until the gentleman's wife realizes he is a stranger.
Directed by Sırrı Gültekin, Kalbimdeki Yabancı leans on a strong ensemble — Semiramis Pekkan, Münir Özkul, Ali Şen — 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 1968.

6.1Vizontele Tuuba
2004 6.1
Guner Sernikli is a government official who, with his wife and their wheelchair bound daughter, has been assigned as the head librarian to this isolated province, virtually an exile since there is no library in the village. The family is warmly welcome, but these are the years of political anarchy and leftist/rightist clashes in big cities and the youth of the village inevitably follow the tides. They arrive in Vizontele, just as the situation is becoming really absurd. Guner brings wisdom; his daughter Tuba brings beauty, innocence and love. Some like the Mayor, Nazmi Dogan and crazy Emin appreciate these things but they are in the minority and confusion continues to reign. The story is based on the memories of writer-director Yılmaz Erdoğan of the last summer of his childhood in Hakkâri, Turkey in 1980.
