The film is about four sailors who kidnap a prostitute, and went on to nationwide general release across Turkey on 4 December 1998 (1998-12-04). It won awards at film festivals in Ankara and Antalya, including the Golden Orange for Second Best Film. It was shot concurrently with A Madonna in Laleli (Turkish: Laleli'de bir Azize), directed by Kudret Sabancı, and many of the main characters from the two films cross paths.
