Raziye

The film deals with the conflict between the intellectual and the villager through the characters of the uncle, his nephew, and Vedia. The uncle is an intellectual who has made it his principle to develop the villages. He continues to follow city customs wherever he goes. However, his methods often do not conform to the villagers' habits. His adopted daughter Vedia has also been raised like a city dweller. One day, his nephew from Istanbul comes to stay with them. Due to political reasons, he must hide in the village for a while. The nephew spends most of his time with Vedia. However, the events that unfold and the decisions Vedia makes will lead to significant changes in everyone's lives.

Directed by Yusuf Kurçenli, Raziye leans on a strong ensemble — Kamran Usluer, Oğuz Tunç, Yasemin Öymen — 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 drama titles of 1990.
