Recep, during his first visit to Istanbul, accidentally entered the film industry and made several movies. However, when image creators put him in ridiculous situations, he abandoned everything and returned to his village. On his second visit to Istanbul, he started a small stool manufacturing workshop. Over time, his business prospered, and he became a stool manufacturer. Married and a father of three, Recep changed his original surname, İbibik, to Oturakgil(Stoolson). However, this time, the stool business became a source of trouble for him.
