In the film, being innocent is represented as being silent. The innocent do not have a voice. Both Yusuf's sister and nephew and Ugur's daughter do not talk at all. Yusuf begins very silent and after he became more involved in things, he starts talking more.
The open door scenes that we have seen in various sections throughout the movie are the signature of Zeki Demirkubuz's cinema.
The story of 'Kader' is based on the monologue of Haluk Bilginer who plays the character of 'Bekir' the movie 'Innocence'.
The director almost never allows adlibbing in his films but this is a very low budget film. To save time and money, for the long monologue of Bekir, the director asked the actor just to do his best and told that he trusts him. The result was one of the most memorable performances of Turkish film history.
Ugur's daughter's name "çilem" means "my suffering" in Turkish.
