His daughter Elif Guney Putun lives in Paris for many years and she has spoken to Turkish Hurriyet Newspaper. She tells herself life and father director Yilmaz Guney first time. 

She is not happy for being daughter of Yilmaz Guney: "Being daughter of Yilmaz Guney ruined my life' she said.

"I would crash with him if he was alive today. "Dad, we paid quittance of your fight' I would say. I don't know what my brother thinks about father, but I think being daughter of Yilmaz Guney ruined my life'

"Someone shows father's photograph, he is armed and hard, this is your father, they say. I am afraid while even looking at photograph. I was a child who can't receive events.   I was a surprised and sad child. I want to be alone for relying to my sadness. I look for somewhere I can sleep. I touch my vagina and smell my fingers. Just this makes me good. I am endless dereliction and loneliness."

"I go to mother's home at Ankara for staying long time. There is a step father, he moves well. I have seen little mother when I lived in Ankara . I go to school and streets after school. I go to home just having meals. Mother works at nights. Father calls me "You are a young girl, you can't stay with step father anymore" he said.

"I went down. They distinguish me from mother. I wouldn't have to leave mama, if I was a boy. I wish I passed under the rainbow and I would be a boy. I thought I will go to everywhere with dad like an immigrant."

"When my father was evacuated from prison he cut my hairs. I was depressed. I wonder if he cut my hairs for I am not boy or not. I wonder if he thought my hairs are so villager or not. I couldn't ask and I have never learnt. I just know I was a disappointment for my father. He was writing letter to Fatos (His wife) but he had never written letter for me."

Elif Guney wrote a book, "Odadan Odaya' (The Between Rooms) she tells father in it.  

"I am so nervous father because I didn't talk these to him. If he was alive I crashed with him, I wouldn't write this book. "Dad we paid quittance of your fight' I would say. "We paid quittance of your art. Our life was ruined. Your ideals were too weight for us' I would say."  

"My father used to work always, he worked till die. He went to Cannes with Fatos and he has been awarded, we became happy. Father was a genius but I was a big disappointment for him. I used to study lesson hard for winning his favor. But "If you wouldn't be stupid you wouldn't have to study so hard' he said."  

"He was so busy, his films, wife, son, me, struggle and imagines. He was right too. And he became cancer. He didn't have time for being my father, he died 47 aged."
