Audience Member It's hilarious....Yilmaz Erdogan did a great job. On the other hand he was not lucky ending the film like this which raised the numbing at many people including me. They didn't find it palatable ! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member The 1st Turkish film I've ever watched and it's hilarious!! Sets in 1970, the story is about the arrival of 1st Television (Vizontele) in Turkey but the citizen had no idea how to make it on! Seems a bit overwhelming but still, hilarious. Ihik!
