This documentary on Necdet Mahfi Ayral, one of the most colorful personalities in the world of Turkish theater and cinema, presents prominent cross-sections from the life of the artist. The period between his early youth and his entrance in the Istanbul Municipal Theatre, his film and theatre adventures with Muhsin Ertuğrul, his dubbing of the films of the famous Italian comedian Toto, and parts from his principal films are all extensively covered. The documentary also features several members of the Turkish theater and cinema community expressing their feelings about the master artist. Şener Şen says, "He is someone who has never lost the innocence and enthusiasm of a child in spite of his age. Necdet Mahfi is one of the best examples of how man should be in harmony with life." Kayhan Yıldızoğlu relates, "Whenever I was with him I took a taste of life; all evil left my mind and was replaced by clear lights, by beauty. There's a great need for people like him for us to beautify our lives." Jeyan Mahfi Tözüm, Ferhan Şensoy, and Yavuz Turgul are also among those who contributed their thoughts.
