Great loss if still didn't watch... Art is in the most cases hidden in the reality. It is mostly diversity that makes the cast attractive. İf that makes you lough a second after you cry it is something. A very kind approach to human kind. A clue to hold back to cultural ties. A movie never been boring for even a second.

In order to study journalism at Istanbul University, Sadık leaves his village on the Aegean coast. This angers his father, Hüseyin, who wants him to study Agricultural Engineering so he can manage the family farm. During his years at university Sadık becomes a militant in left wing politics. Upon learning about Sadık's behavior, Hüseyin disowns him.However worse days are ahead for Sadık. In the early hours of the morning on September 12, 1980 Sadık's pregnant wife starts having contractions. The couple runs outside, but they can't find anyone to take them to the hospital, due to a curfew. The country has been taken over in a military coup. Sadık's wife gives birth in a park and dies, but their son, Deniz, possibly named after leftist youth icon Deniz Gezmiş, survives.Because of his political activities, Sadık is arrested, tortured, and imprisoned for three years during which time he loses his health. A few years after being released, he finds out that he will die. Having no other choice, he takes Deniz back to his family farm on the Aegean into the care of his mother and his father, who still does not speak to him. For Deniz, who is absorbed in the magical world of comic books, meeting his relatives on the farm is a new experience. There is his grandmother (Hümeyra Akbay) who drives a tractor and speaks on a short wave radio, his aunt Hanife (Binnur Kaya) who wears bracelets from her wrist all the way to her shoulder, and his uncle (Yetkin Dikinciler) who is a little naive.There is trouble in store, however, for Sadık and Hüseyin who must come to terms with their past and each other. Sadık also needs to face his first love, now married with two children, and the question of old friends. However his sickness takes over and Sadık passes away. His parents take over the responsibility of Deniz who comes into term with his father's loss.

Çağan Irmak is the face of the drama genre of Turkish Cinema. Always a simple narrative films. But deeply affect us. Because the handling is as simple as the fact of our lives. We see ourselves in the mirror while watching his movies in theaters. As all Çağan Irmak movies Babam & Oğlum has managed impressive as all this its is deeply.When the period is based on the script of the film we see the stressful times in Turkey. Family ties. Family relations in the Aegean region.At the end of the movie we see death of the father and we sad. But also we saw grandchild finally getting his grandfather. Also we are happy! That is what melodrama.
