Seyyit Han is a man with many foes. He falls in love with Mürşit’s sister, Keje. Mürşit is fine with them marrying, only on one condition: Seyyit Han has to get rid of his enemies to offer a decent life for Keje. One day he victoriously returns to his hometown: the day Keje is marrying another man.
Despite many attempts at state-imposed censorship, Yılmaz Güney’s fifth feature was the first to bear his mark as a social realist auteur. A gripping western-esque tale of love and revenge, Seyyit Khan explores the oppressive tribal traditions and feudal marriage practices in Eastern Anatolia.
