Production
Yandım Ali is a great hero and heroism is something which always appeals to us. Maybe we follow this path because we know the make-up of our people and know there is a majority that likes nationalist films, director Mustafa Şevki Doğan told Reuters.[2][3]
The film was shot on location in Istanbul and Bahçeşehir, Turkey.[4]
Plot
The film is set in the years after World War I when the Ottoman capital of Constantinople was under the siege by the enemy. A navy sergeant named Tahtacızade Ali (Kenan İmirzalıoğlu), who has just completed his military service, is yearning for his fiancée Defne (Cansu Dere) who married another man while Ali was away. Ali plans to abduct Defne and flee to Vienna. However, Ali's plans change when he comes across Mustafa Kemal, who has just set on a journey to save the Turkish land from the enemy.
