Son (Oğul) (translated)

Oğul ("Son") is a 1974 Turkish drama directed and produced by Melih Gülgen, written by Nurettin Erişen, with a score by Yalçın Tura and cinematography by Mustafa Yılmaz.

The story centers on Alişan, who lives a quiet village life with his young son Aliş. When a group of men provoke a dog into biting the boy, fear of rabies sets in; as Alişan races to get his son treatment in the city, he is also pursued by the men responsible for the attack. As the illness worsens, the father is forced into an unbearable decision, and the film turns toward his search for revenge.

Cüneyt Arkın stars as Alişan and Kâzım Kartal appears as Cabbar, with Kahraman Kıral and Reha Yurdakul also among the cast.
