Deadfoot (Ölürayak) (translated)

Aydın Bağardı directed Ölürayak ("Deadfoot"), a Turkish drama, in the early 1990s. Filed under emotional drama, it centres on the meeting of two people who have both come to the edge of death. It runs 84 minutes and was shot in colour. Its starting point is that two people who would never normally have crossed paths, or who would have passed each other without noticing, are brought together at the most fragile moment of their lives.

The leads are Ela and Ömer, a woman and a man from two different worlds and two different pasts. They meet at a point where the usual rules, promises and obstacles no longer count, and they set about rediscovering life. They share fear, friendship and anger, and perhaps love too. In a life with no tomorrow, today becomes more precious than anything. Haluk Bilginer plays Ömer and Meral Oğuz plays Ela; Suna Selen is Ela's mother and Nüvit Özdoğru is Ömer's father. Arif Pişkin (Sedat), Erol Demiröz (Semih), Filiz Taçbaş (Aysel) and Yaman Tarcan are also in the cast.

The screenplay is by Ayşenur Arslan, the producer was Hüseyin Apaydın, the music is by Cem Küçümen and the cinematography by Serdar Servidal. The production company was Tele Video.
