 \nSet in Adiyaman, Turkey, the business for a group of local musicians hits 
 rock bottom due to curfew laws implemented in 1982 by the US supported 
 military coup in 1980. The repression by the junta takes a twist when the 
 region’s martial law commander decides he needs a band for the upcoming 
 visit of the junta generals. The town band is now ordered to put on some 
 uniforms and perform a welcoming ceremony for the military council’s 
 visit to the town. At the same time, the daughter of the local 
 orchestra’s head becomes involved with the town revolutionaries who are 
 seeking to make a statement against the generals. The life and music of the 
 people of Turkey is merged in the struggle to expose and challenge the 
 brutal military rule. This film was one of the most popular films in Turkey 
 about military rule and resistance. Sirri Sureyya Onder was born in 
 Adiyaman in 1962. He was a political science student at Ankara University 
 during the military coup of September 12, 1980. He was one of the students 
 arrested during the riots and was convicted as a political felon. Önder 
 served 12 years in Mamak Prison. He defines himself as a distressed person, 
 a man who feels a responsibility for the land he lives in. \nSee
