Including interviews by family members, students, fellow actors, as well as rare archival images and footage, Sweetie is an homage to the ‘North Star of Turkish theatre.’ The documentary was written by Zeynep Miraç, scored by Murat Evgin, and features Dikmen Gürün as advisor.

A none dialogue film about a young woman called Sukran, who has an accident when she is 10 years old and stays crippled for the rest of her life.
