About Sevmek ve Ölmek Zamanı
Kudret is a young man who earns his living performing stunts on a motorcycle. He wants to marry Emel, but standing between them is Emel's mother, Selma. Determined to prevent the marriage, Selma conspires with Cihangir, a wealthy businessman she wants her daughter to marry, and Kudret is sent to prison for a crime he did not commit. From then on, events unfold in a manner reminiscent of The Count of Monte Cristo. Kudret plans an escape with a fellow inmate he has befriended behind bars. During this time, he learns the location of a large fortune from his friend. However, during the escape, Kudret loses his friend. Betrayed, slandered, and with his pride shattered, Kudret returns to seek revenge.
Directed by Halit Refiğ, Sevmek ve Ölmek Zamanı leans on a strong ensemble — Türkan Şoray, Murat Soydan, Zuhal Aktan — 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 romance titles of 1971.
