Dark Comedy and Tragic Satire! This work is a darkly hilarious satire that exposes profound injustice. It follows an ordinary man, whose life has been plagued by bad luck, as he finally takes a vacation from his long-postponed military service. His attempt to return home ends abruptly with his imprisonment, triggering a chain of devastatingly unfortunate events. The film achieves the remarkable feat of critiquing the grave flaws within the Turkish judicial and penal system through humor and entertainment.
