Storm (Fırtına) (translated)

Nejat Saydam directed the Turkish adventure film Fırtına in 1977 from a script by Safa Önal. Produced by Hasan Gürkan and İrfan Ünal under the Akün Film banner, it runs 85 minutes and opened on 1 February 1978. Kadir İnanır, Harika Değirmenci and Beyk İmanverdi take the leading roles.

The story begins on the open sea. Halil Kaptan (Kadir İnanır) and Ahmet (Beyk İmanverdi), casting nets to pay off their newly bought boat, pull two women clinging to wreckage out of the water: Beyza Sabuncu (Harika Değirmenci) and Nermin (Güli Zengene), the only two survivors of a plane that went down on its way to Paris. Beyza, desperate to reach shore, tricks Ahmet into starting the boat, but a great storm breaks. At dawn the four find themselves on the edge of a deserted island, the boat in pieces. With nothing to do but wait for rescue, they eventually lose hope and begin to build a new life, and love and passion are among the story's recurring motifs.

Erdoğan Engin was the cinematographer. The supporting cast includes Diler Saraç, Nezihe Güler, Osman Alyanak and Ertuğrul Bilda. The soundtrack voices were recorded afterwards: Sadri Alışık voices Beyk İmanverdi and Abdurrahman Palay voices Kadir İnanır.
