About Yaşamak Kolay Değil
Orhan serves four years in prison for his brother's illegal activities. When he is released from prison, he leaves his past behind. Determined to stay away from illegal activities, Orhan starts working as a taxi driver. However, Orhan's life is suddenly turned upside down when his daughter falls ill. Facing economic difficulties, Orhan refuses his brother's offer to participate in a robbery. However, he will eventually have to reconsider this decision.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1970.
