Retired teacher Fikri Şemsigil has just one wish in life: to experience the supernatural. But when his wish comes true – causing his soul to possess the bodies of everyone from the local waiter to a poet – he realizes he’s gotten more than he bargained for. Meeting with new surprises in every body he inhabits, he finally seeks expert help in order to be freed of his predicament. Described by its own director as “a fantasy...a cock-and-bull story,” The Son of the Sun is not only funny and entertaining but also cleverly-scripted and sure to startle.
