The documentary is titled after ArkadaĆ Z. Ăzgerâs poem âHello My Dearâ which had caused much controversy in the period it was first published. Considered to be in defiance of heteronormativity, the said poem includes references to the poetâs personality, his family, his relationship to the society, and his âunexpectedâ death, which came three years after its publication. Today, 50 years after it was written, the documentary follows these same lines in the poem utilising cinematic elements. The documentary also rediscovers the poetics; reaches out to the family, the comrades, the friendships, departing from the official historical accounts, cognizant of his experience of otherness, in pursuit of the âlostâ portrait of ArkadaĆ Z. Ăzger.
