Overview

Late 19th century in Alexandria. Two traditionally rival Turkish families, "Seferoglu"s and "Tellioglu"s are competing for the "Green Valley". The winner will be determined by Daver Bey, who has a beautiful young daughter, Leyla. Both families try to arrange a marriage between a man from their family and Leyla, so that Daver Bey will be inclined to give the green valley to his "relatives". Tellioglus, who are behind in the race, desperately find a final solution: They will fake their idiotic butler, Saban, as the highest ranked Ottoman soldier in Egypt: Tosun Pasha.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A farcical Ottoman-era romp where a bumbling butler is passed off as a military dignitary, leading to escalating absurdities as two feuding families scheme to win land and a bride. It's broad, anarchic comedy built on mistaken identity and the collision of social pretense with foolish reality.
