The Visitor, directed by Mehmet Eryilmaz, is 2015 Turkish film. The Visitor is the second feature film of Mehmet Eryilmaz has produced “A Fairground Attraction” as well as some other dramatic documentaries. The Visitor analyses the universal mother-daughter issue, with death theme and covers the sexual harassment within the family as the sub story. With the hope which drives from tragedy, this film tells the story of misfits as the first film of the director.

The leading actors are Zümrüt Erkin, Tamer Levent, Ayten Uncuoğlu, Hale Akınlı, Ersin Umut Güler and young actress Melek Çınar. Sema Moritz with her songs and Fatih Al from the previous film, now Nur’s lover, acting fairground guy Cemal again is acting ‘Cemal’ in the Visitor.

Plot

Ten years after being thrown out of her parental home, Nur hears that her mother is at death’s door. Taking her young daughter with her, Nur hurries back to her father’s world to see, and reconcile with her mother before it is too late. While the universal theme of mother-daughter relationships lies at the centre of the film, this is underpinned by an allusive subtext of incest, one of the most common but least addressed social problems in Turkey. The individual stories of the family members combine with a sense of hope fuelled by tragedy to paint a portrait of the socially disconnected.
