    Heartbreaking

    "Canim Kardesim" is the saddest movie of Turkish film industry aka. "Yesilcam". The director Ertem Egilmez is generally makes film on comedy. Back in days critics told him you can't shoot drama. And his answer is "I'm gonna shoot a drama and you all gonna cry." Finally he made this movie and we all crying every time we watched Canim Kardesim.
