Man in the Jar (Kavanozdaki Adam)

Kavanozdaki Adam is a Turkish television series that aired on TRT 1 in 1988 and ended after only four episodes. Adapted for the screen from a work by Faik Baysal, the production had Mesut Uçakan serving as both director and screenwriter. With its psychological drama elements, the series is remembered as one of the Turkish TV productions of its era that came close to science fiction.

The story is built around a character portrayed by Ahmet Mekin. The cast also features well-known figures of Turkish film and theatre such as Metin Serezli, Nevra Serezli, and Sevda Ferdağ. Despite its brief run, the series remains a notable experiment in 1980s Turkish television thanks to its subject matter revolving around questions of mind and identity.
