Piano Piano Kid (Piano Piano Bacaksız)

The 1991 Turkish film Piano Piano Kid (Piano Piano Bacaksız) tells the war years through a child's eyes; Tunç Başaran directed it as a drama that also draws on comedy, family and history. "Piano piano" is Italian for "slowly". Jale Onanç and Arif Keskiner produced it for Çiçek Film. The film was selected as Türkiye's entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 65th Academy Awards, but it was not accepted as a nominee.

The story is set in Turkey in 1944, while the Second World War is under way, inside an old wooden mansion. A different family lives in every room, and the relationships, closeness and later broken friendships that grow out of shared life are told through the eyes of an eight-year-old boy. That child's view also opens a critical window onto the İsmet İnönü era. In the cast, Rutkay Aziz plays Kerim, Emin Sivas Kemal, Yaman Okay Hızır, Serap Aksoy Kamile and Ayşegül Ünsal Feriha. Taner Barlas plays Senayi and Müşfik Kenter Büyük Kemal.

Başaran, Ümit Ünal and Kemal Demirel wrote the screenplay together, and Demirel is also credited as the author of the source work. Can Kozlu composed the music and Colin Mounier handled the cinematography. Shot in color on 35 mm, the film runs about eighty minutes.
