Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Hülya Avşar's screen debut; she was already a famous model and would become Turkey's biggest star for decades. Director Osman F. Seden reportedly cast her after seeing her in a magazine.
The film captures 1980s Turkey's rural-urban tension: truck drivers symbolized both working-class mobility and moral danger for 'respectable' women. Hülya's choice scandalized contemporary audiences.
