Director: Tunç Başaran
Screenwriter: Ümit Ünal
Cast: Rutkay Aziz, Emin Sivas, Meriç Başaran

Piano Piano Kidis a story of hope directed by Tunç Başaran and adapted to the screens by Ümit Ünal from Kemal Demirel’s novel with the same title. From the naïve viewpoint of Kemal, we watch the struggle for survival of group of people from different walks of life living in a rundown mansion with the only hope of feeding themselves in the war weary Turkey of the 1940s. We observe the morbid mood and the grave socio-economic state of the period while we’re also left alone with the hopes and dreams of a child who bears witness to this period.
