After playing with a Ouija board, Gul, a twelve year old little girl who lives with her mom in a bourgeois neighborhood of Istanbul is possessed by the Devil himself.

Does this summary ring a bell ? Welcome to the craftiness Turkish cinema with this unofficial and improbable remake of William Friedkin's movie, released a year after the original film and who often goes by its nickname given by its fans, Turkish Exorcist. A copy that looks more like an amateur « sweded » film than to real plagiarism due to the lack of budget. An unintentionally dadaist work with elephantine subtlety, directed by the author of Dry Summer, the film who won the Golden Bear for Best Movie at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1964.
