Lady Cazibe's Daydreams (Cazibe Hanımın Gündüz Düşleri) (translated)

İrfan Tözüm directed the 1992 Turkish film Cazibe Hanımın Gündüz Düşleri ("Lady Cazibe's Daydreams"). Poised between drama and fantasy, it tells of a lonely woman who loses the line between reality and dream. Macit Koper wrote the script and Tözüm produced it, with Muhteşem Film and Kanal 6 among the companies. It was warmly received on release and won a number of festival awards.

Cazibe, in her late thirties, beautiful but unmarried, has had to turn away suitors because of her mother Füruzan and her uncle Behçet, who is secretly infatuated with her. Her only refuge is her small room, where she passes her time imagining a former sweetheart from school. One night Kürşat slips into the house to hide. Cazibe thinks her dream lover would be jealous of the visit and, imagining herself with him, sleeps with Kürşat. The next day she finds a farewell letter Kürşat left and suffers a breakdown, the border between fantasy and reality now gone.

Hale Soygazi plays Cazibe and Uğur Polat Kürşat. Suna Selen plays Füruzan and Macit Koper Behçet, with Nüvit Özdoğru, Can Kolukısa, Halil Ergün, Salih Kalyon and Yaman Okay among the cast. Aytekin Çakmakçı was the cinematographer; it runs about an hour and forty-five minutes.
