About Acı Günler
Years later, he is released from prison, where he had been serving time for a murder he committed in the name of honor. By chance, he meets Perihan, who works at a nightclub, and falls in love with her. The reason he becomes so attached to her is that she closely resembles Aysel, his former lover who left him years ago to marry someone else.
Directed by Orhan Elmas, Acı Günler leans on a strong ensemble — Cüneyt Arkın, Nazan Şoray, Atilla Ergün — 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 1981.
