The Princess's Sleep (Prensesin Uykusu) (translated)
Born from a song of the same name by the band Redd, Prensesin Uykusu ("Sleeping Princess") is a fairy-tale-like Turkish comedy-drama that Çağan Irmak wrote and directed in 2010. Irmak took the song as his starting point for the screenplay, and Redd supplied the music. The 100-minute production comes from Most Production and İmaj.
Aziz is a quiet library clerk living in his own small world. When Seçil, who has just opened a hair salon in the neighborhood, moves into his building with her ten-year-old daughter Gizem, new neighbors and new color enter his life. Then Gizem falls into a long sleep, and the cheer is overshadowed. The building's seemingly ordinary but colorful residents join forces to try to change fate. The cast includes Sevinç Erbulak, Ayşenil Şamlıoğlu, Genco Erkal, Çağlar Çorumlu, Alican Yücesoy, Funda Şirinkal and Işıl Yücesoy.
Filming began in April 2010, mostly in Halkalı and Yeşilköy. The world premiere took place on the opening night of the London Turkish Film Festival, and the film opened in cinemas on November 19, 2010; most of its box-office income was pledged to charity. Some 39,871 people saw it in the first three days.
