- 00:01:45,167 --> 00:01:47,958
- THE WILD PEAR TREE
- 2
- 00:02:28,125 --> 00:02:29,625
- Sinan. How are you?
- 3
- 00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:30,542
- Fine, thanks.
- 4
- 00:02:30,667 --> 00:02:31,792
- Come in for some tea.
- 5
- 00:02:31,917 --> 00:02:34,375
- Not now. I need to get home.
- 6
- 00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:36,417
- The house won't fly away!
- 7
- 00:02:36,542 --> 00:02:38,292
- I've got all my bags.
- 8
- 00:02:38,417 --> 00:02:39,625
- Where you been?
- 9
- 00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:42,083
- College in Çanakkale. I graduated.
- 10
- 00:02:42,208 --> 00:02:44,958
- No way! Congratulations!
- 11
- 00:02:45,083 --> 00:02:45,875
- Thanks.
- 12
- 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,667
- So what's it like there?
- 13
- 00:02:48,792 --> 00:02:50,958
- It sucks,
- like everywhere if you're broke.
- 14
- 00:02:51,083 --> 00:02:53,625
- Sure. No money, no life.
- 15
- 00:02:53,750 --> 00:02:54,458
- Exactly.
- 16
- 00:02:54,542 --> 00:02:56,125
- Are your folks OK ?
- 17
- 00:02:56,250 --> 00:02:58,708
- I guess. I'll soon find out.
- 18
- 00:02:58,833 --> 00:02:59,750
- Sinan.
- 19
- 00:02:59,875 --> 00:03:00,917
- Yes?
- 20
- 00:03:02,875 --> 00:03:04,917
- I lent your dad
- 21
- 00:03:05,208 --> 00:03:07,167
- I three gold coins.
- 22
- 00:03:07,292 --> 00:03:09,542
- Four months ago.
- He must've forgotten.
- 23
- 00:03:09,708 --> 00:03:11,417
- - Did you know?
- - No.
- 24
- 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,625
- - He didn't pay you back?
- - No. I mentioned it.
- 25
- 00:03:14,750 --> 00:03:18,042
- I guess he forgot again.
- Can you remind him?
- 26
- 00:03:18,167 --> 00:03:21,083
- Gold is cheap right now
- so he'd end up paying less.
- 27
- 00:03:21,208 --> 00:03:22,708
- OK, I'll tell him.
- 28
- 00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:26,542
- I can never get him on his cell.
- 29
- 00:03:26,667 --> 00:03:29,333
- You're right, he's bad with phones.
- 30
- 00:03:29,458 --> 00:03:31,167
- He's hard to contact.
- 31
- 00:03:31,417 --> 00:03:33,792
- Does he still have
- that hunting dog?
- 32
- 00:03:33,917 --> 00:03:35,708
- I'm not sure. Why?
- 33
- 00:03:35,833 --> 00:03:38,708
- I'd take it instead, but he refused.
- 34
- 00:03:38,875 --> 00:03:41,583
- Don't waste your breath.
- He'd refuse millions for it.
- 35
- 00:03:41,708 --> 00:03:43,208
- But he never goes hunting.
- 36
- 00:03:43,333 --> 00:03:46,250
- He's very attached to that dog.
- 37
- 00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:47,667
- OK, have a good day.
- 38
- 00:03:47,792 --> 00:03:49,625
- - Tell him I said hello.
- - I will.
- 39
- 00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:51,625
- And to drop by.
- 40
- 00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:52,833
- OK.
- 41
- 00:04:15,458 --> 00:04:17,375
- Your hands are shaking.
- 42
- 00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:18,833
- I'm stressed.
- 43
- 00:04:19,292 --> 00:04:21,417
- I don't like what's going on.
- 44
- 00:04:24,125 --> 00:04:27,042
- Sorry, Nisan,
- you're fleeing reality.
- 45
- 00:04:28,083 --> 00:04:31,042
- You're hiding your head
- n the sand.
- 46
- 00:04:32,667 --> 00:04:35,333
- What's up? Have you eaten?
- 47
- 00:04:35,458 --> 00:04:36,625
- Yes.
- 48
- 00:04:38,792 --> 00:04:40,000
- I know.
- 49
- 00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:44,500
- Well, well!
- 50
- 00:04:44,750 --> 00:04:45,792
- Welcome.
- 51
- 00:04:45,917 --> 00:04:46,792
- Thanks.
- 52
- 00:04:46,917 --> 00:04:48,333
- You just arrived?
- 53
- 00:04:48,458 --> 00:04:49,750
- No, a while ago.
- 54
- 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,375
- You, a graduate!
- 55
- 00:04:51,833 --> 00:04:53,042
- Well done!
- 56
- 00:04:53,792 --> 00:04:54,917
- Thanks.
- 57
- 00:04:55,042 --> 00:04:57,292
- How's it going there? Everything OK?
- 58
- 00:04:57,792 --> 00:04:59,292
- Nothing new.
- 59
- 00:04:59,833 --> 00:05:01,625
- But Mum's put away my books.
- 60
- 00:05:01,750 --> 00:05:03,125
- She would.
- 61
- 00:05:03,250 --> 00:05:05,125
- She hates clutter.
- 62
- 00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:07,083
- Where did books get you?
- 63
- 00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:10,875
- Don't get me started.
- 64
- 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,917
- Restore visible shine and softness
- in only one month.
- 65
- 00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:36,417
- Restructuring night spray
- from our time therapy...
- 66
- 00:05:36,542 --> 00:05:38,333
- Give me the remote.
- 67
- 00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:40,667
- Our series is about to start.
- 68
- 00:05:40,875 --> 00:05:42,500
- So?
- 69
- 00:05:43,792 --> 00:05:45,625
- We'll go back when it starts.
- 70
- 00:05:46,042 --> 00:05:49,042
- Who wants to watch hours of ads?
- 71
- 00:05:50,083 --> 00:05:52,917
- Sinan, come and see
- what your aunt sent us.
- 72
- 00:06:00,208 --> 00:06:01,333
- From Aunty?
- 73
- 00:06:03,333 --> 00:06:05,250
- Look at those goats!
- 74
- 00:06:05,375 --> 00:06:08,792
- That's a year-old goat?
- More like a bull!
- 75
- 00:06:08,917 --> 00:06:12,542
- Stuffed with goddam feed in a pen!
- 76
- 00:06:13,083 --> 00:06:16,125
- Imagine what the milk and meat
- taste like.
- 77
- 00:06:17,542 --> 00:06:20,000
- You'd never get enough grass
- for a herd that size.
- 78
- 00:06:20,375 --> 00:06:24,208
- Are you mad? The earth is generous enough
- to provide for all.
- 79
- 00:06:25,167 --> 00:06:28,333
- "Do not scorn the soil
- Haven to many treasures"
- 80
- 00:06:28,458 --> 00:06:31,333
- "Resting place of saints
- Home to a thousand prophets"
- 81
- 00:06:31,458 --> 00:06:32,625
- Yunus Emre!
- 82
- 00:06:32,750 --> 00:06:33,917
- Bravo!
- 83
- 00:06:34,125 --> 00:06:37,583
- I should be retiring soon.
- 84
- 00:06:37,875 --> 00:06:40,792
- With my bonus
- I'll show you how to raise animals.
- 85
- 00:06:40,917 --> 00:06:42,167
- Of course!
- 86
- 00:06:42,292 --> 00:06:45,750
- We couldn't think how to spend it.
- 87
- 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,042
- You splashed out on horses,
- 88
- 00:06:48,167 --> 00:06:51,292
- so the rest may as well
- go on sheep and goats.
- 89
- 00:06:51,417 --> 00:06:54,208
- What a family of animal lovers!
- 90
- 00:06:56,875 --> 00:06:59,583
- Yasemin! Go fetch my jacket.
- 91
- 00:07:00,667 --> 00:07:02,875
- It's behind you. Get it yourself.
- 92
- 00:07:03,042 --> 00:07:06,417
- It's because it's behind me
- I want you to get it.
- 93
- 00:07:19,042 --> 00:07:21,208
- Were you eating onions?
- 94
- 00:07:21,750 --> 00:07:23,125
- Not at all.
- 95
- 00:07:23,250 --> 00:07:25,542
- Funny, it smells like it.
- 96
- 00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:29,917
- Anyway.
- Have some mint gum and it'll go.
- 97
- 00:07:32,125 --> 00:07:33,667
- For God's sake, Dad!
- 98
- 00:07:33,792 --> 00:07:35,125
- You scared me!
- 99
- 00:07:35,250 --> 00:07:36,583
- Good, wasn't it?
- 100
- 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,208
- Hilarious.
- 101
- 00:07:38,333 --> 00:07:40,750
- It made me laugh.
- 102
- 00:07:43,667 --> 00:07:45,542
- I confiscated it this morning.
- 103
- 00:07:45,667 --> 00:07:47,458
- A student had it.
- 104
- 00:07:48,208 --> 00:07:49,917
- Why keep it?
- 105
- 00:07:50,042 --> 00:07:52,167
- You could have given it back.
- 106
- 00:07:52,542 --> 00:07:55,250
- Why do that?
- He'd just bring it back.
- 107
- 00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:57,250
- I'm going to get some air.
- 108
- 00:08:00,750 --> 00:08:01,792
- Sinan!
- 109
- 00:08:02,542 --> 00:08:04,167
- If you're going out,
- 110
- 00:08:04,917 --> 00:08:07,833
- I fill the tank,
- we'll drive to the village tomorrow.
- 111
- 00:08:07,958 --> 00:08:09,542
- We can finish the well.
- 112
- 00:08:11,583 --> 00:08:14,000
- What's the rush? I'm just back.
- 113
- 00:08:14,125 --> 00:08:17,542
- I can't do it alone.
- I need a hand.
- 114
- 00:08:19,167 --> 00:08:20,917
- The tyres are flat, too.
- 115
- 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,000
- What'll we do?
- 116
- 00:08:22,125 --> 00:08:25,042
- Inflate them a bit when you fill up.
- 117
- 00:08:25,167 --> 00:08:26,958
- That'll do a few days.
- 118
- 00:08:27,083 --> 00:08:29,958
- Ask Nazif to help you.
- 119
- 00:08:31,375 --> 00:08:32,625
- Here, take this.
- 120
- 00:08:32,875 --> 00:08:35,000
- - Will that cover it?
- - It'll have to.
- 121
- 00:08:35,125 --> 00:08:38,500
- It will. We can cut the engine
- going downhill.
- 122
- 00:08:43,917 --> 00:08:46,000
- Now lift! C'mon!
- 123
- 00:08:46,292 --> 00:08:47,125
- My foot!
- 124
- 00:08:47,250 --> 00:08:50,458
- What's your foot doing there?
- 125
- 00:08:50,750 --> 00:08:52,792
- Lift it when I tell you.
- 126
- 00:08:52,917 --> 00:08:55,083
- - But it won't budge.
- - Move.
- 127
- 00:08:55,208 --> 00:08:56,708
- Where's the end of the rope?
- 128
- 00:08:56,833 --> 00:08:59,000
- Here. Hold tight.
- 129
- 00:09:02,958 --> 00:09:03,917
- Pull!
- 130
- 00:09:33,375 --> 00:09:35,458
- You can see nothing in the dark.
- 131
- 00:09:35,708 --> 00:09:38,167
- You see this rock?
- 132
- 00:09:38,375 --> 00:09:40,958
- Take the rock and the rope.
- 133
- 00:09:41,375 --> 00:09:44,208
- Slip the rope under the rock.
- 134
- 00:09:44,792 --> 00:09:46,958
- Tie it off at the top
- 135
- 00:09:47,167 --> 00:09:48,917
- and slip it back under.
- 136
- 00:10:03,333 --> 00:10:06,083
- I'm trying to help
- and you don't give damn.
- 137
- 00:10:06,208 --> 00:10:07,542
- Not true.
- 138
- 00:10:07,667 --> 00:10:10,792
- I was just moving it
- so we didn't tread on it.
- 139
- 00:10:10,917 --> 00:10:11,792
- Listen.
- 140
- 00:10:11,917 --> 00:10:14,917
- I help despite my bad back
- and you mess about.
- 141
- 00:10:15,042 --> 00:10:18,292
- Dad, I came all the way from Çan.
- Sinan too.
- 142
- 00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,500
- A quick job but you take forever.
- 143
- 00:10:20,958 --> 00:10:23,458
- Dad, you can't finish a well
- without finding water.
- 144
- 00:10:23,583 --> 00:10:25,083
- Water?
- 145
- 00:10:25,208 --> 00:10:26,292
- Here?
- 146
- 00:10:26,417 --> 00:10:28,542
- You're really stubborn!
- 147
- 00:10:28,667 --> 00:10:31,208
- You know my field better than me?
- 148
- 00:10:31,417 --> 00:10:32,583
- Good God!
- 149
- 00:10:34,833 --> 00:10:39,125
- People laugh their asses off
- at these idiot schemes of yours!
- 150
- 00:10:39,250 --> 00:10:41,042
- Based on science, is it?
- 151
- 00:10:41,167 --> 00:10:43,958
- Your divining rod told you?
- 152
- 00:10:44,375 --> 00:10:45,958
- I've spent my life here.
- 153
- 00:10:46,083 --> 00:10:48,583
- And you know better
- if there's water here?
- 154
- 00:10:49,208 --> 00:10:52,708
- I agreed to help
- just to shut people up.
- 155
- 00:10:52,833 --> 00:10:54,583
- And you screw up again.
- 156
- 00:10:54,708 --> 00:10:57,958
- Why do you employ that retard Ahmet?
- 157
- 00:10:58,083 --> 00:10:59,667
- Everyone's laughing at you.
- 158
- 00:10:59,833 --> 00:11:01,708
- Because he was free.
- 159
- 00:11:01,833 --> 00:11:05,167
- I paid him, too. Unlike the others.
- 160
- 00:11:05,417 --> 00:11:08,417
- You could have built
- a building in this time.
- 161
- 00:11:08,542 --> 00:11:11,083
- If I was you, I'd keep quiet.
- 162
- 00:11:14,208 --> 00:11:15,250
- What an idea!
- 163
- 00:11:15,375 --> 00:11:16,833
- Find water
- 164
- 00:11:16,958 --> 00:11:18,708
- and turn the place green!
- 165
- 00:11:18,875 --> 00:11:21,083
- Grandad, wait! Where are you going?
- 166
- 00:11:21,208 --> 00:11:24,167
- There are frogs but no water?
- Where's your brain?
- 167
- 00:11:24,250 --> 00:11:26,958
- Forget it. He can't hear you.
- 168
- 00:11:27,042 --> 00:11:29,417
- I know.
- I'm taking advantage of that.
- 169
- 00:11:29,542 --> 00:11:30,833
- Why did he come?
- 170
- 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,042
- - Did you ask him?
- - No.
- 171
- 00:11:33,167 --> 00:11:34,208
- It's him.
- 172
- 00:11:34,333 --> 00:11:37,417
- He hovers above me
- like the sword of Damocles.
- 173
- 00:11:40,042 --> 00:11:41,000
- Arap!
- 174
- 00:11:44,125 --> 00:11:46,333
- Are you sleeping?
- 175
- 00:11:46,458 --> 00:11:50,792
- I hate leaving you with him,
- but I've no choice just now.
- 176
- 00:11:51,417 --> 00:11:53,042
- Just hang in there.
- 177
- 00:11:53,167 --> 00:11:55,125
- I'll be retiring soon.
- 178
- 00:11:55,375 --> 00:11:57,792
- Then we'll be together here.
- 179
- 00:11:58,125 --> 00:11:59,500
- - What are we doing now?
- 180
- 00:11:59,625 --> 00:12:00,417
- Huh?
- 181
- 00:12:00,625 --> 00:12:01,667
- Now?
- 182
- 00:12:02,125 --> 00:12:04,583
- We'll do it better ourselves.
- 183
- 00:12:05,167 --> 00:12:07,125
- They think it's about brute force.
- 184
- 00:12:32,833 --> 00:12:34,500
- What are you doing, Grandad?
- 185
- 00:12:34,958 --> 00:12:37,708
- Don't lift that with your back!
- 186
- 00:12:38,125 --> 00:12:39,958
- Fucking weasels!
- 187
- 00:12:40,458 --> 00:12:42,458
- They never stop pestering us.
- 188
- 00:12:42,875 --> 00:12:45,667
- We used to shoot them for their pelts.
- 189
- 00:12:45,792 --> 00:12:47,000
- Nobody cares now.
- 190
- 00:12:48,167 --> 00:12:49,458
- Doesn't the dog help?
- 191
- 00:12:49,583 --> 00:12:52,042
- Your dad's dog?
- No chance.
- 192
- 00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:56,708
- These shits choke the chickens,
- suck their blood
- 193
- 00:12:56,833 --> 00:12:58,542
- and carry off what's left.
- 194
- 00:12:59,208 --> 00:13:00,833
- Like vampires?
- 195
- 00:13:01,792 --> 00:13:03,875
- Why did you run off?
- It wasn't the frog.
- 196
- 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,500
- Of course not.
- 197
- 00:13:05,792 --> 00:13:07,000
- He pisses me off.
- 198
- 00:13:07,125 --> 00:13:09,750
- Why let him?
- Just don't give a damn.
- 199
- 00:13:09,875 --> 00:13:12,500
- It's hard not to get annoyed.
- 200
- 00:13:12,708 --> 00:13:16,208
- He's only amusing himself.
- He'll never finish.
- 201
- 00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:18,375
- So leave him to it.
- 202
- 00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:19,792
- Take it easy.
- 203
- 00:13:19,917 --> 00:13:22,625
- Let him have his fun. And have fun too.
- 204
- 00:13:23,333 --> 00:13:26,292
- When he was a baby we forgot him
- sleeping in a field.
- 205
- 00:13:26,417 --> 00:13:28,875
- We found him covered in ants.
- 206
- 00:13:30,125 --> 00:13:31,667
- Is that why he's like this?
- 207
- 00:13:31,792 --> 00:13:33,042
- No, c'mon.
- 208
- 00:13:33,292 --> 00:13:36,500
- But for days
- he had ants coming out of his nose.
- 209
- 00:13:36,875 --> 00:13:39,417
- No, it's not about that, but...
- 210
- 00:13:40,125 --> 00:13:42,250
- That old cupboard in the cellar.
- 211
- 00:13:42,375 --> 00:13:44,708
- Is it still there?
- 212
- 00:13:44,833 --> 00:13:46,708
- No idea. Ask Grandma.
- 213
- 00:13:48,542 --> 00:13:50,000
- Grandma's dead, Grandad.
- 214
- 00:13:53,792 --> 00:13:55,167
- What about the cupboard?
- 215
- 00:13:55,292 --> 00:13:57,750
- It's full of old newspapers,
- 216
- 00:13:57,875 --> 00:14:00,625
- ads, notices, all that.
- 217
- 00:14:01,292 --> 00:14:03,500
- He tied two plastic bottles together
- 218
- 00:14:03,667 --> 00:14:05,458
- and stuck them in the hollow of a tree.
- 219
- 00:14:05,583 --> 00:14:08,708
- What for? The sun heats the water.
- 220
- 00:14:08,833 --> 00:14:11,667
- Then he can wash his hands in hot water.
- 221
- 00:14:14,167 --> 00:14:16,292
- Look at his shitty ideas!
- 222
- 00:15:11,625 --> 00:15:14,250
- - How's it going?
- - Sinan, come in.
- 223
- 00:15:14,417 --> 00:15:17,750
- No, thanks, Gran. Mum sent you this.
- 224
- 00:15:17,875 --> 00:15:21,000
- The pots are yours.
- And there's a few pastries.
- 225
- 00:15:21,125 --> 00:15:22,708
- Come in, c'mon.
- 226
- 00:15:22,833 --> 00:15:24,667
- No, I have things to do.
- 227
- 00:15:24,792 --> 00:15:25,667
- Are you hungry?
- 228
- 00:15:25,792 --> 00:15:27,958
- Don't stand there. Come in.
- 229
- 00:15:28,083 --> 00:15:28,958
- No, Grandpa.
- 230
- 00:15:29,083 --> 00:15:30,583
- I've made pancakes.
- 231
- 00:15:30,708 --> 00:15:31,583
- I'm going.
- 232
- 00:15:31,708 --> 00:15:33,625
- Did you come on your own?
- 233
- 00:15:34,208 --> 00:15:36,167
- No, with Dad.
- 234
- 00:15:36,292 --> 00:15:37,583
- He's in the field.
- 235
- 00:15:38,042 --> 00:15:41,458
- - What's he up to now?
- - Working on the well.
- 236
- 00:15:41,917 --> 00:15:43,458
- The never-ending saga.
- 237
- 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,250
- Where's your dad?
- 238
- 00:15:45,375 --> 00:15:46,500
- In the field.
- 239
- 00:15:46,625 --> 00:15:48,958
- In the field. Digging a well!
- 240
- 00:15:49,042 --> 00:15:50,750
- Isn't that done yet?
- 241
- 00:15:50,875 --> 00:15:52,500
- No, Grandpa!
- 242
- 00:15:52,625 --> 00:15:54,083
- It'll never be done.
- 243
- 00:15:54,208 --> 00:15:54,958
- Of course not.
- 244
- 00:15:55,375 --> 00:15:57,583
- I told him there's no water there.
- 245
- 00:15:57,708 --> 00:15:59,333
- Why a well on that hill?
- 246
- 00:15:59,667 --> 00:16:02,208
- He wants to turn the place green.
- 247
- 00:16:02,333 --> 00:16:03,875
- You know him.
- 248
- 00:16:04,333 --> 00:16:06,083
- He's got lots of debts again. You heard?
- 249
- 00:16:06,208 --> 00:16:07,917
- Yes, Mum said.
- 250
- 00:16:08,042 --> 00:16:11,792
- She said you helped out again.
- Thanks.
- 251
- 00:16:11,958 --> 00:16:13,917
- What else could we do?
- 252
- 00:16:14,042 --> 00:16:15,958
- - Did you mention the teacher?
- - Who?
- 253
- 00:16:16,083 --> 00:16:17,625
- The teacher. Did she tell you?
- 254
- 00:16:17,750 --> 00:16:19,208
- Slow down, will you?
- 255
- 00:16:19,333 --> 00:16:20,625
- What's this?
- 256
- 00:16:21,583 --> 00:16:24,750
- You know that bald teacher?
- An old friend of your dad's.
- 257
- 00:16:24,875 --> 00:16:27,500
- He came with his wife the other day.
- 258
- 00:16:27,583 --> 00:16:28,917
- Muharrem. And?
- 259
- 00:16:29,042 --> 00:16:32,542
- Said he lent him some gold a year ago
- 260
- 00:16:32,667 --> 00:16:34,167
- and can't get it back.
- 261
- 00:16:34,583 --> 00:16:37,333
- - So why's he telling you?
- - No idea.
- 262
- 00:16:37,667 --> 00:16:39,292
- A real chatterbox.
- 263
- 00:16:39,417 --> 00:16:43,000
- It was his wife's gold,
- their son's getting married...
- 264
- 00:16:43,125 --> 00:16:45,583
- - You didn't give him anything, did you?
- - No.
- 265
- 00:16:45,708 --> 00:16:49,375
- Don't! He's a total crook.
- It's him who got Dad into the horses.
- 266
- 00:16:49,458 --> 00:16:52,542
- Is that a reason
- not to give back his gold?
- 267
- 00:16:52,667 --> 00:16:55,208
- They can do what they like.
- I don't care.
- 268
- 00:17:05,833 --> 00:17:07,083
- Go on through.
- 269
- 00:17:22,750 --> 00:17:24,042
- MAYOR
- 270
- 00:17:27,792 --> 00:17:30,417
- - What was your surname?
- - Karasu.
- 271
- 00:17:32,250 --> 00:17:34,083
- Ah, yes. Here it is.
- 272
- 00:17:34,208 --> 00:17:35,750
- Sinan Karasu.
- 273
- 00:17:37,333 --> 00:17:38,417
- Yes.
- 274
- 00:17:38,750 --> 00:17:41,792
- - Are you Gasman Cumhur's son?
- - No.
- 275
- 00:17:42,417 --> 00:17:43,875
- But I know him.
- 276
- 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,958
- We just have the same surname.
- 277
- 00:17:46,083 --> 00:17:47,958
- Who's your father? What does he do?
- 278
- 00:17:48,083 --> 00:17:50,458
- - He's a teacher, too.
- - Where? Here?
- 279
- 00:17:50,583 --> 00:17:51,500
- Yes, here.
- 280
- 00:17:51,625 --> 00:17:53,375
- What's his name?
- 281
- 00:17:53,958 --> 00:17:55,208
- Idris.
- 282
- 00:17:57,333 --> 00:17:59,375
- So you're Idris' son?
- 283
- 00:17:59,583 --> 00:18:00,750
- Yes.
- 284
- 00:18:07,958 --> 00:18:09,500
- My manuscript's ready.
- 285
- 00:18:10,375 --> 00:18:14,000
- But as you know,
- publishing a book isn't easy.
- 286
- 00:18:14,417 --> 00:18:16,958
- You have to find funding.
- 287
- 00:18:17,333 --> 00:18:19,125
- It's not easy.
- 288
- 00:18:19,875 --> 00:18:22,958
- I thought about
- going to the regional council
- 289
- 00:18:23,083 --> 00:18:26,167
- but trying my own town first
- felt more right.
- 290
- 00:18:27,917 --> 00:18:30,458
- I see swashbucklers here.
- Do you talk about them?
- 291
- 00:18:30,583 --> 00:18:32,333
- I do.
- 292
- 00:18:32,500 --> 00:18:34,875
- - And Wildpear.
- - Yes.
- 293
- 00:18:35,167 --> 00:18:37,042
- Few people know it. Bravo.
- 294
- 00:18:37,167 --> 00:18:38,083
- Thanks.
- 295
- 00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:41,292
- My brother did his army service there,
- that's how I know.
- 296
- 00:18:41,417 --> 00:18:43,625
- And the old gravestones.
- 297
- 00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:44,917
- Yes.
- 298
- 00:18:45,042 --> 00:18:46,750
- Just above Lake Van.
- 299
- 00:18:48,042 --> 00:18:50,500
- But sorry Mr Adnan.
- 300
- 00:18:50,625 --> 00:18:54,042
- I'm not talking about the place,
- but the wild pear tree.
- 301
- 00:18:54,333 --> 00:18:55,500
- What?
- 302
- 00:18:55,792 --> 00:18:59,167
- You know, wild pear trees.
- Those gnarled, stunted trees?
- 303
- 00:18:59,292 --> 00:19:01,833
- That's the wild pear in my book.
- 304
- 00:19:01,958 --> 00:19:03,042
- Ah, right.
- 305
- 00:19:03,167 --> 00:19:05,292
- Not everyone knows that either.
- 306
- 00:19:05,583 --> 00:19:09,375
- Even though the place
- is full of wild pear trees.
- 307
- 00:19:11,667 --> 00:19:13,500
- By the way,
- 308
- 00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:17,583
- I don't think of it
- as a tourist guide or fact-based book.
- 309
- 00:19:17,708 --> 00:19:18,458
- Of course,
- 310
- 00:19:18,583 --> 00:19:21,875
- this place inspired me
- but these are personal writings
- 311
- 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,625
- fictionalized in a literary way.
- 312
- 00:19:25,625 --> 00:19:29,875
- In a way,
- these are intimate confessions
- 313
- 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,208
- free of the influence
- of any faith, ideology or authority.
- 314
- 00:19:33,750 --> 00:19:38,333
- You mean something freestyle
- with a kind of personal look?
- 315
- 00:19:40,083 --> 00:19:40,875
- Kind of.
- 316
- 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,667
- Something like that.
- 317
- 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,583
- Well, good. Good for you.
- 318
- 00:19:45,708 --> 00:19:46,833
- Thanks.
- 319
- 00:19:46,958 --> 00:19:51,000
- Publishing the texts as a book
- is really important to me.
- 320
- 00:19:51,125 --> 00:19:53,833
- Yes, of course it is. Very important.
- 321
- 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,958
- Sorry to show up
- with no appointment.
- 322
- 00:19:58,083 --> 00:20:00,583
- - I don't want to waste your time.
- - No, don't say that.
- 323
- 00:20:00,708 --> 00:20:02,917
- Don't think that, really.
- 324
- 00:20:03,042 --> 00:20:04,208
- Don't.
- 325
- 00:20:04,708 --> 00:20:07,208
- Did you notice the door
- on your way in?
- 326
- 00:20:07,333 --> 00:20:09,417
- - That door?
- - Yes.
- 327
- 00:20:09,958 --> 00:20:11,000
- Yes.
- 328
- 00:20:12,792 --> 00:20:14,167
- There isn't one.
- 329
- 00:20:14,292 --> 00:20:16,667
- That's right, there isn't.
- 330
- 00:20:16,750 --> 00:20:17,917
- Do you know why not?
- 331
- 00:20:18,417 --> 00:20:22,458
- Because my first act in office
- was to take that door out.
- 332
- 00:20:22,625 --> 00:20:23,708
- Do you know why?
- 333
- 00:20:26,292 --> 00:20:28,333
- Because my door is always open.
- 334
- 00:20:28,458 --> 00:20:31,000
- I've nothing to hide from anyone.
- 335
- 00:20:32,292 --> 00:20:34,958
- Keeping the public at arm's length
- is history.
- 336
- 00:20:35,083 --> 00:20:39,542
- Democracy is something
- that breathes and grows all the time.
- 337
- 00:20:39,667 --> 00:20:43,625
- Retreating behind thick walls,
- being accountable to no one,
- 338
- 00:20:43,750 --> 00:20:45,792
- scheming away in private,
- 339
- 00:20:45,917 --> 00:20:48,333
- it's just not ethical.
- 340
- 00:20:48,583 --> 00:20:52,750
- We've always stood by workers,
- by people in trouble.
- 341
- 00:20:52,875 --> 00:20:54,958
- And we'll continue that way.
- 342
- 00:20:55,083 --> 00:20:57,125
- Then pass the baton to you, the young.
- 343
- 00:20:57,250 --> 00:20:58,917
- It's basically a relay race, right?
- 344
- 00:20:59,625 --> 00:21:01,375
- Definitely.
- 345
- 00:21:04,542 --> 00:21:07,625
- Now, how much did you say you needed?
- 346
- 00:21:11,375 --> 00:21:13,333
- Around 2000 lira in all.
- 347
- 00:21:13,458 --> 00:21:16,000
- It's not just the printing.
- 348
- 00:21:16,125 --> 00:21:18,875
- There's distribution, publicity, tax.
- 349
- 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,500
- So it's no big deal.
- 350
- 00:21:20,625 --> 00:21:21,333
- No.
- 351
- 00:21:21,500 --> 00:21:23,792
- 2000 is nothing.
- 352
- 00:21:23,917 --> 00:21:24,625
- I agree.
- 353
- 00:21:24,750 --> 00:21:26,125
- It's nothing.
- 354
- 00:21:26,250 --> 00:21:27,583
- That's right.
- 355
- 00:21:28,125 --> 00:21:29,833
- That's for 500 copies.
- 356
- 00:21:29,958 --> 00:21:32,875
- The price goes up if you want more.
- 357
- 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,917
- A guy from the village
- works at the printer's,
- 358
- 00:21:36,083 --> 00:21:38,417
- so he got me a good price.
- 359
- 00:21:39,042 --> 00:21:41,333
- As you say, it's not much.
- 360
- 00:21:41,458 --> 00:21:42,458
- Really not.
- 361
- 00:21:42,583 --> 00:21:44,708
- Although that said...
- 362
- 00:21:44,833 --> 00:21:46,250
- I'm afraid
- 363
- 00:21:46,333 --> 00:21:50,000
- we can't take money like that
- from the council budget.
- 364
- 00:21:50,125 --> 00:21:52,167
- Legally, we can't
- 365
- 00:21:52,292 --> 00:21:55,375
- directly subsidize an individual.
- 366
- 00:21:55,875 --> 00:21:59,583
- OK, if it was a scholarly work
- or for tourism,
- 367
- 00:21:59,708 --> 00:22:03,542
- about the War Cemetery
- or Troy or Kilitbahir Castle...
- 368
- 00:22:03,667 --> 00:22:07,375
- we could tap the promotion budget
- for as much as you like.
- 369
- 00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:11,458
- Even then,
- there'd be a raft of procedures.
- 370
- 00:22:12,833 --> 00:22:13,792
- But here,
- 371
- 00:22:13,917 --> 00:22:17,542
- for a personal memoir
- with a general approach,
- 372
- 00:22:17,667 --> 00:22:20,917
- I'll be honest,
- it's a big ask, Sinan.
- 373
- 00:22:21,042 --> 00:22:23,000
- But I'm not asking you
- 374
- 00:22:23,125 --> 00:22:26,417
- to sponsor it completely.
- 375
- 00:22:26,542 --> 00:22:30,458
- It could be a loan
- or payment for some work.
- 376
- 00:22:30,583 --> 00:22:31,375
- No.
- 377
- 00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:33,875
- It's out of the question.
- 378
- 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,667
- I'd even collect trash.
- 379
- 00:22:37,208 --> 00:22:39,583
- That reminds me...
- 380
- 00:22:39,708 --> 00:22:42,583
- We had a trash collector poet.
- Do you know him?
- 381
- 00:22:42,708 --> 00:22:43,417
- No.
- 382
- 00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:46,542
- Wait, I'll give you his book
- if there are any left.
- 383
- 00:22:48,833 --> 00:22:50,458
- We learned later
- 384
- 00:22:50,583 --> 00:22:52,833
- he was a total crook, though.
- 385
- 00:22:52,958 --> 00:22:55,375
- Fleeced us and vanished.
- 386
- 00:22:56,792 --> 00:22:57,542
- Osman!
- 387
- 00:23:00,583 --> 00:23:03,500
- Where are Necati's books?
- 388
- 00:23:03,625 --> 00:23:04,667
- They were in that cupboard.
- 389
- 00:23:04,792 --> 00:23:07,917
- I can't see them.
- There's just election stuff in there.
- 390
- 00:23:08,042 --> 00:23:10,583
- Shall I ask Gazanfer?
- 391
- 00:23:10,708 --> 00:23:12,750
- Yes, go and ask him.
- 392
- 00:23:18,875 --> 00:23:21,542
- How can we help you then?
- 393
- 00:23:23,458 --> 00:23:26,667
- Maybe you should talk to Ilhami.
- 394
- 00:23:27,292 --> 00:23:30,333
- Yes, go and see Ilhami.
- He's your man.
- 395
- 00:23:30,458 --> 00:23:31,250
- Ilhami?
- 396
- 00:23:31,458 --> 00:23:34,000
- He worked in tourism.
- He runs a sand quarry now.
- 397
- 00:23:34,125 --> 00:23:36,417
- Right behind the mine.
- 398
- 00:23:36,542 --> 00:23:40,042
- But since it isn't a tourism book...
- 399
- 00:23:40,167 --> 00:23:43,333
- No. Don't say that.
- 400
- 00:23:43,917 --> 00:23:47,917
- He reads a lot. He devours books.
- You'll see. He has stacks of them.
- 401
- 00:23:48,042 --> 00:23:51,333
- If anyone can fund you, it's him.
- 402
- 00:23:51,458 --> 00:23:52,458
- Go and talk to him.
- 403
- 00:23:52,583 --> 00:23:54,417
- I'll call to say you're coming.
- 404
- 00:23:54,667 --> 00:23:55,458
- OK, thanks.
- 405
- 00:23:55,583 --> 00:23:58,083
- I'll drop in on my way past.
- 406
- 00:23:58,208 --> 00:24:00,667
- Go on, it's his thing.
- 407
- 00:24:00,792 --> 00:24:02,208
- Lucky I remembered.
- 408
- 00:25:03,458 --> 00:25:04,375
- Hello.
- 409
- 00:25:04,583 --> 00:25:06,042
- I'd like to see Mr Ilhami.
- 410
- 00:25:06,167 --> 00:25:07,667
- He isn't here.
- 411
- 00:25:07,917 --> 00:25:10,250
- - When will he be back?
- - Monday.
- 412
- 00:25:11,833 --> 00:25:13,042
- What's it about?
- 413
- 00:25:13,167 --> 00:25:15,083
- Nothing special. Thanks.
- 414
- 00:25:35,333 --> 00:25:36,458
- Sinan!
- 415
- 00:25:45,125 --> 00:25:46,833
- It's me. You don't recognize me?
- 416
- 00:25:46,958 --> 00:25:47,667
- Hatice!
- 417
- 00:25:47,750 --> 00:25:49,792
- At last!
- 418
- 00:25:50,167 --> 00:25:51,833
- Have I changed that much?
- 419
- 00:25:51,958 --> 00:25:54,417
- No, it's the headscarf.
- 420
- 00:25:55,042 --> 00:25:56,958
- - That confused me.
- - Oh, sure.
- 421
- 00:25:57,083 --> 00:25:58,500
- No, really.
- 422
- 00:25:59,458 --> 00:26:02,583
- You haven't changed at all.
- I recognized you right away.
- 423
- 00:26:02,792 --> 00:26:05,375
- Head bent, hands in pockets.
- Just the same.
- 424
- 00:26:05,708 --> 00:26:07,917
- Although the glasses are missing.
- 425
- 00:26:08,833 --> 00:26:10,500
- You haven't changed either.
- 426
- 00:26:10,625 --> 00:26:13,250
- Well you have. You've grown up.
- 427
- 00:26:13,917 --> 00:26:15,292
- You mean grown old?
- 428
- 00:26:15,417 --> 00:26:16,917
- No! Old, at your age?
- 429
- 00:26:17,042 --> 00:26:17,833
- Well, yes.
- 430
- 00:26:17,958 --> 00:26:21,250
- I mean changed in a good way.
- 431
- 00:26:22,167 --> 00:26:24,250
- Fine, if you say so.
- 432
- 00:26:25,583 --> 00:26:28,542
- - What are you doing here?
- - Wandering about.
- 433
- 00:26:28,625 --> 00:26:31,625
- I had a thing to do over there.
- 434
- 00:26:32,625 --> 00:26:33,917
- What are you up to?
- 435
- 00:26:34,042 --> 00:26:35,292
- Not much.
- 436
- 00:26:35,417 --> 00:26:38,667
- Picking walnuts in the field.
- I came to get some water.
- 437
- 00:26:38,917 --> 00:26:40,083
- Is it your field?
- 438
- 00:26:40,250 --> 00:26:42,625
- No. We're just helping out.
- 439
- 00:26:42,750 --> 00:26:44,458
- Great.
- 440
- 00:26:45,125 --> 00:26:47,375
- - So you're done with college?
- - Yes.
- 441
- 00:26:47,667 --> 00:26:50,375
- Bravo.
- So you're going to be a teacher?
- 442
- 00:26:50,500 --> 00:26:51,750
- I don't know yet.
- 443
- 00:26:51,875 --> 00:26:55,000
- I have to do more exams.
- 444
- 00:26:55,125 --> 00:26:56,417
- Depends how it goes.
- 445
- 00:26:57,042 --> 00:26:58,333
- And your studies?
- 446
- 00:26:58,667 --> 00:27:00,833
- I stopped after high school.
- 447
- 00:27:01,375 --> 00:27:03,083
- I guess I heard that.
- 448
- 00:27:03,208 --> 00:27:04,542
- But why?
- 449
- 00:27:05,083 --> 00:27:06,750
- Pressure at home?
- 450
- 00:27:06,875 --> 00:27:08,792
- No. I didn't want to.
- 451
- 00:27:09,083 --> 00:27:10,292
- How come?
- 452
- 00:27:11,333 --> 00:27:13,500
- I don't know. I just didn't.
- 453
- 00:27:14,292 --> 00:27:15,958
- I was fed up with school.
- 454
- 00:27:20,542 --> 00:27:22,250
- Why are you surprised?
- 455
- 00:27:22,375 --> 00:27:23,583
- Is it so far out?
- 456
- 00:27:23,917 --> 00:27:26,833
- Of course not.
- I'm not surprised.
- 457
- 00:27:31,708 --> 00:27:33,750
- So? What are you going to do here?
- 458
- 00:27:34,208 --> 00:27:35,583
- Well...
- 459
- 00:27:36,792 --> 00:27:38,667
- Take that exam.
- 460
- 00:27:38,917 --> 00:27:43,042
- Then get a job
- or do my military service, depending.
- 461
- 00:27:43,167 --> 00:27:45,083
- I don't plan to stay here, though.
- 462
- 00:27:45,208 --> 00:27:46,292
- Why not?
- 463
- 00:27:47,083 --> 00:27:49,042
- I don't know, I don't like it here.
- 464
- 00:27:49,167 --> 00:27:51,000
- All these small-minded,
- 465
- 00:27:51,292 --> 00:27:54,542
- bigoted people like peas in a pod.
- 466
- 00:27:56,958 --> 00:27:59,292
- I don't plan to rot here.
- 467
- 00:27:59,958 --> 00:28:02,667
- Great. Save your skin.
- 468
- 00:28:02,792 --> 00:28:04,125
- We'll get by.
- 469
- 00:28:04,250 --> 00:28:05,250
- What do you mean?
- 470
- 00:28:07,750 --> 00:28:10,042
- We're rotting here, are we?
- 471
- 00:28:10,167 --> 00:28:12,542
- I didn't mean it like that.
- 472
- 00:28:12,667 --> 00:28:15,500
- It's harder for guys here, work-wise.
- 473
- 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,167
- Sure, girls just get married
- and sit at home.
- 474
- 00:28:19,292 --> 00:28:22,000
- Did I say that?
- You a feminist now?
- 475
- 00:28:22,125 --> 00:28:24,708
- No, don't worry. No problem.
- 476
- 00:28:24,875 --> 00:28:28,417
- It's what I want anyway.
- Get married, sit at home.
- 477
- 00:28:30,333 --> 00:28:31,875
- Everything's fine then.
- 478
- 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:32,917
- That's it.
- 479
- 00:28:33,042 --> 00:28:34,417
- It's a matter of choice.
- 480
- 00:28:50,708 --> 00:28:52,458
- Got a cigarette?
- 481
- 00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:54,542
- Yes.
- 482
- 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,708
- Light one for me, will you?
- 483
- 00:29:16,958 --> 00:29:17,958
- Follow me.
- 484
- 00:29:39,917 --> 00:29:42,667
- Did you use to smoke?
- I don't remember.
- 485
- 00:29:42,792 --> 00:29:44,625
- No, I just started.
- 486
- 00:29:44,750 --> 00:29:46,417
- Fantastic!
- 487
- 00:29:47,083 --> 00:29:49,333
- The ways of a 40-year addict.
- 488
- 00:29:50,458 --> 00:29:52,250
- You've become really uptight.
- 489
- 00:30:00,750 --> 00:30:01,917
- Thanks.
- 490
- 00:30:02,292 --> 00:30:04,000
- Go on, have a drag.
- 491
- 00:30:04,625 --> 00:30:06,667
- Is it because it touched my lips?
- 492
- 00:30:06,833 --> 00:30:08,292
- Don't be ridiculous!
- 493
- 00:30:28,208 --> 00:30:30,500
- Won't they get worried in the field?
- 494
- 00:30:32,167 --> 00:30:33,667
- It's fine.
- 495
- 00:30:40,875 --> 00:30:43,042
- You might find this a bit weird.
- 496
- 00:30:43,500 --> 00:30:45,625
- But I don't understand why
- 497
- 00:30:45,750 --> 00:30:49,208
- people have to choose the life nearest them.
- 498
- 00:30:50,083 --> 00:30:51,458
- They don't.
- 499
- 00:30:51,958 --> 00:30:54,250
- Anyone who really wants to
- 500
- 00:30:54,583 --> 00:30:56,583
- will go and live the life they want.
- 501
- 00:30:56,708 --> 00:30:59,750
- But there are so many
- beautiful things out there.
- 502
- 00:30:59,875 --> 00:31:00,750
- Like what?
- 503
- 00:31:00,875 --> 00:31:02,042
- Want me to tell you?
- 504
- 00:31:02,667 --> 00:31:03,833
- Yes.
- 505
- 00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:06,833
- What do you mean what?
- 506
- 00:31:07,625 --> 00:31:10,083
- A whole load of things.
- 507
- 00:31:10,208 --> 00:31:11,417
- Like?
- 508
- 00:31:13,250 --> 00:31:14,458
- Like...
- 509
- 00:31:16,583 --> 00:31:18,958
- busy lit-up streets,
- 510
- 00:31:19,083 --> 00:31:20,833
- windy hills,
- 511
- 00:31:20,958 --> 00:31:22,708
- nice food.
- 512
- 00:31:23,917 --> 00:31:26,542
- I've seen them all.
- They're nothing special.
- 513
- 00:31:27,292 --> 00:31:28,417
- What else?
- 514
- 00:31:30,458 --> 00:31:32,750
- Ships sailing far away,
- 515
- 00:31:32,875 --> 00:31:34,792
- summer evenings,
- 516
- 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,708
- being in love, getting drunk,
- 517
- 00:31:37,833 --> 00:31:40,208
- getting soaked in the rain.
- 518
- 00:31:41,125 --> 00:31:44,250
- Say it suddenly rained now
- and we got soaked...
- 519
- 00:31:44,375 --> 00:31:47,375
- then we got struck by lightning,
- wouldn't that be great?
- 520
- 00:31:47,958 --> 00:31:51,208
- Hold on, I've a couple of things
- to do first.
- 521
- 00:31:55,375 --> 00:31:57,333
- Everything, life...
- 522
- 00:31:58,667 --> 00:32:01,083
- seems so close, but it isn't.
- 523
- 00:32:02,917 --> 00:32:05,000
- Because everything's so far away.
- 524
- 00:33:09,208 --> 00:33:10,375
- Hatice, what's wrong?
- 525
- 00:33:11,792 --> 00:33:14,417
- Come here or they'll see you.
- 526
- 00:33:16,333 --> 00:33:18,208
- Are you crying or what?
- 527
- 00:33:21,750 --> 00:33:23,083
- What's the matter?
- 528
- 00:33:25,667 --> 00:33:27,042
- Nothing.
- 529
- 00:33:30,042 --> 00:33:32,292
- Actually, I'm going soon as well.
- 530
- 00:33:34,625 --> 00:33:35,708
- You're going?
- 531
- 00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:37,458
- Where?
- 532
- 00:33:37,583 --> 00:33:40,625
- Why should it always be you going?
- Let us have a turn.
- 533
- 00:33:40,875 --> 00:33:42,333
- Sure, but...
- 534
- 00:33:42,792 --> 00:33:44,875
- Where are you going?
- I'm curious now.
- 535
- 00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:52,042
- Somewhere with gold and silver
- and stuff.
- 536
- 00:33:52,167 --> 00:33:53,958
- Treasure Island!
- 537
- 00:33:55,583 --> 00:33:56,917
- Can I come too?
- 538
- 00:33:57,042 --> 00:33:59,542
- Maybe not Treasure Island...
- 539
- 00:34:00,292 --> 00:34:03,833
- but you could say a treasure chamber.
- 540
- 00:34:26,375 --> 00:34:31,000
- You know that place
- they call the house of matrimony?
- 541
- 00:34:31,750 --> 00:34:33,667
- That's where I'm going.
- 542
- 00:34:37,250 --> 00:34:38,792
- So you're getting married?
- 543
- 00:34:43,667 --> 00:34:45,667
- Are you kidding?
- 544
- 00:34:46,333 --> 00:34:50,917
- - Why would I?
- - I don't know. You're weird.
- 545
- 00:34:52,333 --> 00:34:54,333
- You cry one minute, laugh the next.
- 546
- 00:34:55,042 --> 00:34:57,708
- But if you're serious, congratulations.
- 547
- 00:34:57,833 --> 00:35:01,125
- I'm happy for you and for Riza.
- 548
- 00:35:02,667 --> 00:35:04,250
- Why Riza?
- 549
- 00:35:04,500 --> 00:35:05,792
- What do you mean?
- 550
- 00:35:08,750 --> 00:35:11,542
- I'm not about to marry a kid.
- 551
- 00:35:12,042 --> 00:35:14,500
- So you broke up?
- 552
- 00:35:15,708 --> 00:35:17,625
- I'm shocked.
- 553
- 00:35:17,792 --> 00:35:19,167
- Who is it then?
- 554
- 00:35:21,208 --> 00:35:22,625
- You wouldn't know him.
- 555
- 00:35:28,833 --> 00:35:30,333
- A jeweller.
- 556
- 00:35:35,167 --> 00:35:37,125
- OK then, tell me.
- 557
- 00:35:37,750 --> 00:35:39,917
- Seeing as you read so many books.
- 558
- 00:35:43,125 --> 00:35:45,792
- Are there scorpions under that gold?
- 559
- 00:35:45,917 --> 00:35:47,208
- Scorpions?
- 560
- 00:35:51,417 --> 00:35:53,625
- There are scorpions everywhere.
- 561
- 00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:57,250
- So should I go into that fancy chamber?
- 562
- 00:35:59,083 --> 00:36:01,125
- That's up to you.
- 563
- 00:36:01,250 --> 00:36:04,375
- How can I make such a big decision for you?
- 564
- 00:36:04,500 --> 00:36:05,833
- For goodness sake!
- 565
- 00:36:05,917 --> 00:36:10,125
- I just asked your opinion.
- There's no need to be so scared.
- 566
- 00:36:10,250 --> 00:36:12,167
- I'm not scared.
- 567
- 00:36:15,292 --> 00:36:16,542
- And your heart,
- 568
- 00:36:17,458 --> 00:36:19,042
- what does it say?
- 569
- 00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:21,167
- My heart?
- 570
- 00:36:26,042 --> 00:36:28,875
- When did my heart last say anything?
- 571
- 00:37:54,792 --> 00:37:56,125
- Hatice!
- 572
- 00:38:00,125 --> 00:38:01,458
- Where are you?
- 573
- 00:38:33,625 --> 00:38:34,333
- Hello!
- 574
- 00:38:34,417 --> 00:38:36,083
- How's it going, buddy?
- 575
- 00:38:36,208 --> 00:38:37,417
- Good. How about you?
- 576
- 00:38:37,542 --> 00:38:41,167
- Same as ever. Surviving. You?
- 577
- 00:38:41,292 --> 00:38:43,542
- You can imagine.
- 578
- 00:38:44,792 --> 00:38:46,583
- You coming over?
- 579
- 00:38:46,958 --> 00:38:49,083
- - I can't, buddy.
- - Why not?
- 580
- 00:38:49,208 --> 00:38:51,750
- That's how it is in the police.
- 581
- 00:38:51,875 --> 00:38:53,917
- - You mean no holiday?
- - Exactly.
- 582
- 00:38:54,042 --> 00:38:55,250
- So where are you?
- 583
- 00:38:55,375 --> 00:38:58,250
- At home in bed. Are you back in Çan?
- 584
- 00:38:58,542 --> 00:39:01,917
- Yes, I'm back in fucking Çan!
- 585
- 00:39:04,667 --> 00:39:05,875
- If I was a dictator...
- 586
- 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,625
- I'd drop an atom bomb
- on this fucking place, I swear.
- 587
- 00:39:10,208 --> 00:39:11,875
- Do you get time off for Eid?
- 588
- 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,292
- No. If I did, I'd come back.
- We're working.
- 589
- 00:39:16,417 --> 00:39:18,417
- I'm on guard duty.
- 590
- 00:39:18,583 --> 00:39:20,875
- Aren't you with the riot police?
- 591
- 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:26,083
- Yes, but we're posted around the HQ.
- 592
- 00:39:26,417 --> 00:39:28,542
- In the middle of the gypsy area.
- 593
- 00:39:28,917 --> 00:39:31,625
- We're on duty there.
- 594
- 00:39:31,750 --> 00:39:34,958
- Two days a week.
- 595
- 00:39:35,083 --> 00:39:37,833
- Otherwise it's the brigade.
- 596
- 00:39:37,958 --> 00:39:40,167
- We go if there's trouble.
- 597
- 00:39:40,292 --> 00:39:42,125
- Is there a lot of trouble?
- 598
- 00:39:42,250 --> 00:39:44,042
- Do you bash communists?
- 599
- 00:39:45,417 --> 00:39:48,542
- Man, there's nowhere
- as crazy as this fucking place!
- 600
- 00:39:48,625 --> 00:39:53,042
- It's kind of quiet now,
- but two months ago, it was all action.
- 601
- 00:39:53,167 --> 00:39:55,000
- You're sent if anything happens?
- 602
- 00:39:55,125 --> 00:39:57,917
- Damn right.
- 603
- 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,583
- So what do you do?
- Tear gas, water cannons and all that?
- 604
- 00:40:01,708 --> 00:40:03,042
- Yes, all that.
- 605
- 00:40:03,167 --> 00:40:06,500
- And anywhere out of sight
- we beat them up a bit.
- 606
- 00:40:06,833 --> 00:40:09,792
- It's a way of getting back
- for being bullied.
- 607
- 00:40:09,917 --> 00:40:12,750
- Why not?
- That's the theory of life.
- 608
- 00:40:12,875 --> 00:40:15,333
- Everyone takes their stress out
- on someone else.
- 609
- 00:40:15,458 --> 00:40:17,542
- So we went into a university.
- 610
- 00:40:17,667 --> 00:40:20,167
- There's this pint-sized guy
- like Seydi.
- 611
- 00:40:20,292 --> 00:40:24,333
- From some crap socialist league.
- 612
- 00:40:24,458 --> 00:40:28,083
- He stands in front of me,
- I've got my shield.
- 613
- 00:40:28,208 --> 00:40:31,125
- He's like, “What the fuck is this?â€Â
- Then he kicks my shield.
- 614
- 00:40:31,250 --> 00:40:33,333
- The fucker keeps kicking my shield!
- 615
- 00:40:33,667 --> 00:40:38,417
- I'm losing it.
- Plus there are cameras all around.
- 616
- 00:40:38,542 --> 00:40:43,250
- When he's about to kick me again
- [ bash his fucking head with my shield!
- 617
- 00:40:45,875 --> 00:40:48,250
- He flies like a piece of goat shit!
- 618
- 00:40:48,375 --> 00:40:50,792
- Like our pint-sized Seydi.
- 619
- 00:40:51,875 --> 00:40:54,708
- This world's a fucking bitch, you know.
- 620
- 00:40:58,792 --> 00:41:02,792
- You think we have any chance
- of getting a teaching job?
- 621
- 00:41:02,917 --> 00:41:05,167
- I've dropped the idea.
- 622
- 00:41:05,292 --> 00:41:07,542
- But you'll get assigned in February.
- 623
- 00:41:07,667 --> 00:41:10,125
- But even if I do,
- I doubt I could hack it in the east.
- 624
- 00:41:10,250 --> 00:41:12,250
- Just go I say.
- 625
- 00:41:12,375 --> 00:41:14,333
- It's not that bad.
- 626
- 00:41:14,458 --> 00:41:16,917
- It's OK for teachers.
- 627
- 00:41:17,042 --> 00:41:19,292
- The cops and the soldiers get the shit.
- 628
- 00:41:43,542 --> 00:41:44,667
- What's up?
- 629
- 00:42:54,458 --> 00:42:55,417
- Seydi!
- 630
- 00:44:46,458 --> 00:44:49,667
- When we learn
- we are not so important...
- 631
- 00:44:49,792 --> 00:44:51,750
- why is our instinct to be hurt?
- 632
- 00:44:52,167 --> 00:44:56,583
- Wouldn't it be better to treat it
- as a key moment of insight?
- 633
- 00:44:57,625 --> 00:45:02,167
- We engender our own beliefs.
- 634
- 00:45:02,292 --> 00:45:04,833
- Thus we need to believe in separation
- 635
- 00:45:05,375 --> 00:45:08,833
- as much as in beauty and love,
- and to be prepared.
- 636
- 00:45:09,083 --> 00:45:13,875
- Because rupture and separation
- lie in wait for everything beautiful.
- 637
- 00:45:14,792 --> 00:45:19,417
- In which case,
- why not treat these tribulations
- 638
- 00:45:19,542 --> 00:45:22,542
- as constructive disasters
- 639
- 00:45:22,667 --> 00:45:25,792
- that help us
- pierce our own mysteries?
- 640
- 00:45:27,042 --> 00:45:28,000
- Fine.
- 641
- 00:45:29,708 --> 00:45:31,875
- So you can dance for joy now.
- 642
- 00:45:32,375 --> 00:45:33,958
- - What do you mean?
- - C'mon.
- 643
- 00:45:35,125 --> 00:45:36,667
- Don't tell me you aren't pleased.
- 644
- 00:45:37,583 --> 00:45:38,708
- Why?
- 645
- 00:45:42,167 --> 00:45:43,750
- Because you broke up?
- 646
- 00:45:43,833 --> 00:45:45,125
- Exactly.
- 647
- 00:45:46,542 --> 00:45:49,417
- It's obvious in every word you say.
- 648
- 00:45:50,375 --> 00:45:51,458
- I can see it.
- 649
- 00:45:55,083 --> 00:45:57,083
- Maybe you're right.
- 650
- 00:45:59,083 --> 00:46:01,792
- But that's normal.
- It's the same for everybody.
- 651
- 00:46:01,875 --> 00:46:04,083
- You were all jealous of us.
- 652
- 00:46:05,958 --> 00:46:07,208
- You think I didn't notice?
- 653
- 00:46:07,333 --> 00:46:09,500
- Don't give me that bullshit!
- 654
- 00:46:09,875 --> 00:46:14,708
- It's you who needed that cloud
- of jealousy around you, dickhead.
- 655
- 00:46:15,625 --> 00:46:18,000
- It was your fucked-up way
- of feeling real.
- 656
- 00:46:18,083 --> 00:46:22,125
- You messed with the girl's head
- way back at high school.
- 657
- 00:46:22,792 --> 00:46:24,750
- Giving her books and stuff.
- 658
- 00:46:25,042 --> 00:46:26,417
- Those tricky schemes.
- 659
- 00:46:26,542 --> 00:46:31,167
- Live in la-la land,
- ignore the possibility of breaking up.
- 660
- 00:46:32,042 --> 00:46:35,167
- Then when real life hits home,
- 661
- 00:46:35,625 --> 00:46:37,417
- just blame other people.
- 662
- 00:46:40,042 --> 00:46:43,042
- Hatice had wandering eyes for ages.
- Didn't you notice?
- 663
- 00:46:43,167 --> 00:46:44,833
- Liar!
- 664
- 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,833
- You're only saying that
- because Hatice ignored you...
- 665
- 00:46:50,958 --> 00:46:54,417
- in spite of all your books
- and underhand schemes.
- 666
- 00:46:56,458 --> 00:46:58,417
- Don't be so damn sure.
- 667
- 00:46:59,333 --> 00:47:01,125
- Don't be so damn sure.
- 668
- 00:47:01,875 --> 00:47:02,875
- If you ask me.
- 669
- 00:47:12,875 --> 00:47:14,458
- Fuck you!
- 670
- 00:47:14,583 --> 00:47:16,667
- Fuck you! Asshole!
- 671
- 00:47:16,792 --> 00:47:18,250
- Asshole!
- 672
- 00:47:19,750 --> 00:47:22,125
- I'm gonna kill you!
- 673
- 00:48:13,750 --> 00:48:15,750
- Give the boy some money.
- 674
- 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,500
- I'm talking to you!
- 675
- 00:48:21,625 --> 00:48:23,417
- He's doing an exam, c'mon.
- 676
- 00:48:23,958 --> 00:48:25,958
- You joking? What money?
- 677
- 00:48:26,083 --> 00:48:28,667
- You have my bank card, my wages.
- 678
- 00:48:28,792 --> 00:48:32,667
- What do you think is left
- after I pay your debts?
- 679
- 00:48:32,792 --> 00:48:36,042
- Get off my back, Asuman!
- 680
- 00:48:36,125 --> 00:48:39,792
- You could have told me.
- I'd have found the money.
- 681
- 00:48:39,875 --> 00:48:42,333
- What would that change?
- 682
- 00:48:42,625 --> 00:48:44,333
- What would you have done?
- 683
- 00:48:44,542 --> 00:48:46,125
- Bet it on a horse!
- 684
- 00:48:46,250 --> 00:48:48,083
- OK, that'll do.
- 685
- 00:48:48,208 --> 00:48:50,083
- Stop it! I'll hitchhike.
- 686
- 00:48:50,208 --> 00:48:51,833
- Wait, I'll be right back.
- 687
- 00:49:00,917 --> 00:49:03,000
- Don't you have any money?
- 688
- 00:49:03,208 --> 00:49:06,125
- Make do for now.
- I'll send some along.
- 689
- 00:49:06,250 --> 00:49:08,042
- Forget it.
- 690
- 00:49:08,167 --> 00:49:09,375
- Really?
- 691
- 00:49:11,958 --> 00:49:14,542
- - Do you have your ID?
- - Yes.
- 692
- 00:49:14,667 --> 00:49:18,333
- I forgot mine once
- for a head teacher's exam.
- 693
- 00:49:18,458 --> 00:49:20,625
- They wouldn't let me in.
- 694
- 00:49:21,667 --> 00:49:25,167
- Even though the examiner was a pal.
- 695
- 00:49:25,292 --> 00:49:28,042
- He refused to let me in.
- 696
- 00:49:28,167 --> 00:49:30,167
- I wouldn't say he was jealous.
- 697
- 00:49:30,292 --> 00:49:32,125
- He was a good friend.
- 698
- 00:49:32,333 --> 00:49:33,708
- Here you go.
- 699
- 00:49:34,292 --> 00:49:36,458
- - Make do with that.
- - Thanks.
- 700
- 00:49:36,583 --> 00:49:38,167
- Good luck.
- 701
- 00:49:38,292 --> 00:49:39,125
- Thanks.
- 702
- 00:49:39,250 --> 00:49:41,875
- Call us when you're done.
- 703
- 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:42,875
- Good luck!
- 704
- 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:44,375
- OK, bye.
- 705
- 00:49:55,750 --> 00:49:57,542
- God, you walk fast!
- 706
- 00:49:57,667 --> 00:50:00,458
- I ran and I still couldn't
- catch up with you.
- 707
- 00:50:00,583 --> 00:50:02,500
- What are you doing here?
- 708
- 00:50:02,625 --> 00:50:05,417
- I thought I'd see you off
- at the bus station.
- 709
- 00:50:06,500 --> 00:50:08,250
- You really don't need to.
- 710
- 00:50:09,042 --> 00:50:11,833
- It's no big deal.
- I'm free today anyway.
- 711
- 00:50:12,667 --> 00:50:15,417
- Go back.
- It's not like I don't know the way.
- 712
- 00:50:15,542 --> 00:50:18,417
- True, but today is different.
- 713
- 00:50:19,042 --> 00:50:22,917
- Your fate will be sealed today!
- You're taking a state exam!
- 714
- 00:50:23,083 --> 00:50:25,708
- You might find yourself
- in a nice town on the Aegean coast...
- 715
- 00:50:25,833 --> 00:50:29,125
- or a remote snowbound village
- in the East.
- 716
- 00:50:29,250 --> 00:50:31,833
- Don't knock the East.
- 717
- 00:50:31,958 --> 00:50:35,292
- Even there, it's not easy these days.
- 718
- 00:50:35,667 --> 00:50:38,167
- I know it isn't.
- 719
- 00:50:38,667 --> 00:50:40,917
- What do you need to do? Work!
- 720
- 00:50:41,250 --> 00:50:44,208
- It's not like in your day.
- 721
- 00:50:44,333 --> 00:50:46,750
- There are 300,000 teachers
- waiting for jobs.
- 722
- 00:50:46,875 --> 00:50:47,708
- So?
- 723
- 00:50:47,833 --> 00:50:50,583
- You'll get a good score then
- and beat them all.
- 724
- 00:50:50,708 --> 00:50:51,917
- - Me?
- - Yes, you.
- 725
- 00:50:52,042 --> 00:50:54,500
- They'll watch you leave them behind.
- 726
- 00:51:12,875 --> 00:51:14,083
- OK then.
- 727
- 00:51:14,625 --> 00:51:16,583
- Leave it blank if you're unsure.
- 728
- 00:51:17,083 --> 00:51:18,958
- Unless it's a choice of two.
- 729
- 00:51:19,083 --> 00:51:21,875
- Otherwise, move on, don't guess.
- 730
- 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,292
- Why are you telling me this?
- 731
- 00:51:24,375 --> 00:51:26,583
- Because it's mathematically proven.
- 732
- 00:51:26,708 --> 00:51:28,375
- - You got a cigarette?
- - No.
- 733
- 00:51:28,500 --> 00:51:30,708
- Any change? I'll go and get some.
- 734
- 00:51:35,250 --> 00:51:36,000
- What?
- 735
- 00:51:36,958 --> 00:51:39,417
- OK, we'll go together
- and you get them.
- 736
- 00:51:44,542 --> 00:51:45,792
- OK then.
- 737
- 00:51:47,292 --> 00:51:50,875
- By the way,
- what's the pass score for teaching?
- 738
- 00:51:51,542 --> 00:51:53,875
- You don't have to pretend
- to be interested.
- 739
- 00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,208
- I'm not pretending.
- 740
- 00:51:56,333 --> 00:51:58,083
- What's up with you?
- 741
- 00:51:58,208 --> 00:51:59,792
- Was there a pass score before?
- 742
- 00:51:59,958 --> 00:52:02,375
- No. That's why I'm asking.
- 743
- 00:52:05,792 --> 00:52:07,958
- Look! Necati has lit his grill.
- 744
- 00:52:08,083 --> 00:52:10,417
- How about a meatball sandwich?
- 745
- 00:52:11,250 --> 00:52:13,458
- Meatballs at this time of day?
- 746
- 00:52:14,208 --> 00:52:15,583
- Didn't you just have breakfast?
- 747
- 00:52:15,708 --> 00:52:18,500
- No. Your mum was nagging me.
- 748
- 00:52:18,625 --> 00:52:20,708
- I escaped right after you.
- 749
- 00:52:20,833 --> 00:52:22,958
- Anyway, it's almost noon.
- 750
- 00:52:23,083 --> 00:52:25,458
- You have a journey ahead.
- Aren't you hungry?
- 751
- 00:52:25,583 --> 00:52:28,542
- A journey?
- It only takes 90 minutes.
- 752
- 00:52:28,917 --> 00:52:30,583
- I suppose so.
- 753
- 00:52:30,708 --> 00:52:31,708
- Right then.
- 754
- 00:52:32,292 --> 00:52:34,458
- Then give me money for a sandwich.
- 755
- 00:52:34,583 --> 00:52:36,000
- It smells so good.
- 756
- 00:52:36,125 --> 00:52:37,167
- You never give up, do you!
- 757
- 00:52:38,250 --> 00:52:42,792
- OK, never mind. Forget it.
- You've got your exam. No worries.
- 758
- 00:52:42,917 --> 00:52:45,042
- Good luck! Off you go.
- 759
- 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,375
- Look, the bus is about to leave.
- 760
- 00:52:49,500 --> 00:52:53,208
- It's OK, forget it.
- Find a seat.
- 761
- 00:52:53,333 --> 00:52:54,750
- Go and sit down.
- 762
- 00:52:57,792 --> 00:53:00,542
- OK, take this. Treat yourself.
- 763
- 00:53:00,667 --> 00:53:01,875
- Fine, OK.
- 764
- 00:53:02,542 --> 00:53:03,250
- OK.
- 765
- 00:53:03,333 --> 00:53:05,750
- Take care.
- 766
- 00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,208
- - Leave the ones you don't know.
- - OK.
- 767
- 00:53:08,333 --> 00:53:09,375
- Good luck!
- 768
- 00:53:09,500 --> 00:53:10,417
- Thanks.
- 769
- 00:55:30,208 --> 00:55:31,708
- Is the exam over, son?
- 770
- 00:55:32,208 --> 00:55:33,500
- Is the exam over?
- 771
- 00:56:27,125 --> 00:56:29,017
- How come you're serving?
- Where's the apprentice?
- 772
- 00:56:29,042 --> 00:56:30,250
- The apprentice?
- 773
- 00:56:30,375 --> 00:56:32,917
- The fucker burned his balls.
- 774
- 00:56:33,333 --> 00:56:35,125
- I left a bag here this morning.
- 775
- 00:56:35,250 --> 00:56:36,833
- He'll be back.
- 776
- 00:56:37,083 --> 00:56:39,208
- He finds serving tough, the fucker.
- 777
- 00:56:39,333 --> 00:56:40,958
- No one from our gang here?
- 778
- 00:56:42,083 --> 00:56:44,000
- They stopped coming.
- 779
- 00:56:44,125 --> 00:56:46,583
- But you know, that kid?
- 780
- 00:56:46,708 --> 00:56:49,375
- Seems he's now a cop.
- He can stay away.
- 781
- 00:56:49,500 --> 00:56:52,125
- - You don't like cops?
- - I don't like him.
- 782
- 00:56:52,250 --> 00:56:55,208
- Let him go to the east
- and get a bomb up his ass.
- 783
- 00:56:55,708 --> 00:56:59,208
- I'm home for just a while
- and there's a new fucking generation!
- 784
- 00:57:03,167 --> 00:57:06,833
- I sense a postmodern vibe
- to your poverty, Nevzat.
- 785
- 00:57:07,208 --> 00:57:08,708
- What are you thinking about?
- 786
- 00:57:09,042 --> 00:57:12,083
- Well, 250 lira would solve my problems.
- 787
- 00:57:12,375 --> 00:57:13,375
- What?
- 788
- 00:57:13,500 --> 00:57:14,500
- What what?
- 789
- 00:57:14,625 --> 00:57:16,708
- Those look like detailed calculations.
- 790
- 00:57:17,375 --> 00:57:20,375
- First I need 140 lira
- to reconnect the fucking electricity.
- 791
- 00:57:21,375 --> 00:57:24,667
- I only owe 120
- but there's a 20-lira reconnection fee.
- 792
- 00:57:25,458 --> 00:57:28,292
- Then when my son came home on leave,
- 793
- 00:57:28,417 --> 00:57:31,542
- I got 8 lira's worth of bananas
- from that hawker on the corner.
- 794
- 00:57:32,958 --> 00:57:37,167
- Every day the guy glares at me
- like I fucked his wife!
- 795
- 00:57:38,250 --> 00:57:40,542
- If I pay him, we'll both be spared.
- 796
- 00:57:41,458 --> 00:57:45,333
- From Carrefour I need pasta, rice
- and bulgur, 3 packets for 10 lira.
- 797
- 00:57:45,458 --> 00:57:47,125
- The interior minister's orders.
- 798
- 00:57:47,417 --> 00:57:50,042
- Marmara Co-op has olives on offer.
- 799
- 00:57:50,250 --> 00:57:51,708
- I'll get some.
- 800
- 00:57:52,333 --> 00:57:54,917
- And there are shoe repairs
- before winter arrives.
- 801
- 00:57:57,250 --> 00:57:58,875
- But I'm hoping
- 802
- 00:57:59,750 --> 00:58:01,583
- he won't charge me.
- 803
- 00:58:01,708 --> 00:58:03,875
- Oh, and I need a basin screw.
- 804
- 00:58:04,542 --> 00:58:06,625
- I'll send what's left to my son.
- 805
- 00:58:06,750 --> 00:58:08,792
- He needs it in the army.
- 806
- 00:58:09,167 --> 00:58:10,833
- - A basin screw?
- - Yes.
- 807
- 00:58:10,958 --> 00:58:13,833
- Why pay for it?
- Nick it from another basin.
- 808
- 00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:16,500
- I would, but none of them fucking fits!
- 809
- 00:58:20,083 --> 00:58:23,000
- I hear some banks have this system...
- 810
- 00:58:23,125 --> 00:58:26,250
- of not charging to wire money to the army.
- 811
- 00:58:26,417 --> 00:58:27,875
- Have you heard of it?
- 812
- 00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:29,083
- Hey, thanks for that.
- 813
- 00:58:35,958 --> 00:58:37,250
- - I'm talking to you!
- - What?
- 814
- 00:58:37,375 --> 00:58:39,917
- I said, some banks have this system
- 815
- 00:58:40,250 --> 00:58:43,958
- where they don't take commission
- to wire money to the army.
- 816
- 00:58:44,083 --> 00:58:46,750
- - Do you know about it?
- - I'm not deaf!
- 817
- 00:58:46,875 --> 00:58:48,792
- I was busy, that's why I didn't hear.
- 818
- 00:58:49,250 --> 00:58:50,625
- No, I don't know about it.
- 819
- 00:59:03,708 --> 00:59:05,625
- This isn't a manuscript.
- 820
- 00:59:05,750 --> 00:59:06,875
- What?
- 821
- 00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,458
- It's a printed edition
- made to look like a manuscript.
- 822
- 00:59:10,750 --> 00:59:13,125
- - How can you tell?
- - From the tiny dots.
- 823
- 00:59:13,250 --> 00:59:14,042
- Tiny dots?
- 824
- 00:59:14,167 --> 00:59:15,708
- Take a look if you like.
- 825
- 00:59:20,417 --> 00:59:22,708
- - So it's not worth anything?
- - Well.
- 826
- 00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,042
- It's pretty old, you see.
- 827
- 00:59:26,167 --> 00:59:30,375
- Old things aren't always valuable.
- 828
- 00:59:30,875 --> 00:59:32,583
- Sure, but...
- 829
- 00:59:33,958 --> 00:59:35,667
- So how much is it worth?
- 830
- 01:00:01,042 --> 01:00:02,000
- Mr Suleyman?
- 831
- 01:00:03,667 --> 01:00:04,667
- Hello.
- 832
- 01:00:05,625 --> 01:00:07,250
- Do you remember me?
- 833
- 01:00:07,375 --> 01:00:10,500
- We met at the
- "Literature and Rurality†symposium.
- 834
- 01:00:11,375 --> 01:00:12,333
- Really?
- 835
- 01:00:12,583 --> 01:00:17,125
- I was in the audience actually
- but our eyes met once during the interval.
- 836
- 01:00:17,708 --> 01:00:19,708
- I don't remember, but whatever.
- 837
- 01:00:19,792 --> 01:00:22,875
- Sorry, I'm surprised to see you here.
- 838
- 01:00:23,167 --> 01:00:25,958
- Do you have a moment?
- I have a question.
- 839
- 01:00:26,458 --> 01:00:27,708
- Sure. Go ahead.
- 840
- 01:00:29,250 --> 01:00:31,833
- Let me sit down.
- Do you mind?
- 841
- 01:00:32,792 --> 01:00:34,750
- Sorry, if you don't have time.
- 842
- 01:00:34,875 --> 01:00:37,042
- No, I do. It's OK.
- 843
- 01:00:37,167 --> 01:00:38,625
- I'm Sinan by the way.
- 844
- 01:00:39,708 --> 01:00:40,583
- Yes, Sinan?
- 845
- 01:00:40,708 --> 01:00:43,750
- First, let me say
- I've read nearly all your books.
- 846
- 01:00:43,917 --> 01:00:45,208
- - Really?
- - Sure.
- 847
- 01:00:45,333 --> 01:00:47,375
- It'd be unwise of a young aspiring writer
- 848
- 01:00:47,500 --> 01:00:51,333
- not to read the best-known local author.
- 849
- 01:00:51,458 --> 01:00:53,708
- Strategically at least.
- 850
- 01:00:55,333 --> 01:00:57,458
- When you say "strategically"?
- 851
- 01:00:57,583 --> 01:01:01,000
- It's not about
- checking out the competition.
- 852
- 01:01:01,708 --> 01:01:06,125
- But you want to know
- how a different set of eyes
- 853
- 01:01:06,250 --> 01:01:09,000
- sees the same land,
- 854
- 01:01:09,125 --> 01:01:10,667
- the same views, the same people.
- 855
- 01:01:12,125 --> 01:01:14,125
- So you want to be a writer?
- 856
- 01:01:14,250 --> 01:01:16,875
- Well, yes.
- I'm writing now, for what it's worth.
- 857
- 01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:18,292
- What genre?
- 858
- 01:01:21,125 --> 01:01:24,750
- I don't know. Something like
- musings on the local 'life culture'.
- 859
- 01:01:25,750 --> 01:01:28,625
- Promotional things about the area?
- 860
- 01:01:28,750 --> 01:01:31,750
- - No, never. What gave you that idea?
- - Why never?
- 861
- 01:01:32,333 --> 01:01:35,375
- "There are no facts,
- only interpretations"
- 862
- 01:01:35,500 --> 01:01:36,875
- To quote the master.
- 863
- 01:01:37,542 --> 01:01:40,792
- I"m not someone to immerse myself
- so deeply in the local.
- 864
- 01:01:40,917 --> 01:01:43,667
- If my writing had to be categorized...
- 865
- 01:01:43,792 --> 01:01:47,292
- some would say essays or short stories,
- 866
- 01:01:47,417 --> 01:01:48,458
- but it's not that either.
- 867
- 01:01:48,583 --> 01:01:52,167
- On their own, the pieces
- might be perceived that way,
- 868
- 01:01:52,292 --> 01:01:54,125
- but taken as a whole,
- 869
- 01:01:54,333 --> 01:01:59,458
- I'd argue that they should be seen
- as a quirky auto-fiction meta novel.
- 870
- 01:01:59,958 --> 01:02:01,042
- A meta novel?
- 871
- 01:02:01,667 --> 01:02:02,458
- Yes.
- 872
- 01:02:03,292 --> 01:02:06,667
- Hence my effort to pull it all together
- into a single book.
- 873
- 01:02:06,792 --> 01:02:09,583
- That's if I can find
- a sponsor or publisher.
- 874
- 01:02:10,292 --> 01:02:11,625
- Which isn't exactly easy.
- 875
- 01:02:11,750 --> 01:02:13,208
- You'll manage.
- 876
- 01:02:13,667 --> 01:02:17,500
- So what's it about,
- this so-called quirky meta novel?
- 877
- 01:02:18,083 --> 01:02:23,500
- I guess it's one of those novels
- you can't describe in a sentence or two.
- 878
- 01:02:23,625 --> 01:02:26,750
- Don't worry,
- a word or two won't deflower it.
- 879
- 01:02:26,875 --> 01:02:29,083
- Don't be so reticent.
- 880
- 01:02:29,208 --> 01:02:31,375
- It's not that, but...
- 881
- 01:02:31,833 --> 01:02:36,250
- Simple minds like to reduce a work
- to a rock-solid central idea.
- 882
- 01:02:36,750 --> 01:02:38,583
- I was referring to them.
- 883
- 01:02:38,708 --> 01:02:40,583
- I don't include you in that mob
- 884
- 01:02:40,708 --> 01:02:44,375
- who deem a novel a failure
- 885
- 01:02:44,500 --> 01:02:48,208
- if they can't draw
- a one-sentence moral from it.
- 886
- 01:02:48,333 --> 01:02:49,500
- Trust me.
- 887
- 01:02:56,667 --> 01:02:58,292
- OK, fine.
- 888
- 01:02:59,542 --> 01:03:02,292
- I know how first novels are.
- You retreat from the world,
- 889
- 01:03:02,458 --> 01:03:05,583
- thinking everyone's waiting
- for your book. But then...
- 890
- 01:03:05,708 --> 01:03:08,292
- Don't get me wrong.
- 891
- 01:03:08,417 --> 01:03:11,125
- I'm not afraid
- you'll steal my ideas.
- 892
- 01:03:11,250 --> 01:03:12,833
- My goodness!
- 893
- 01:03:13,458 --> 01:03:15,000
- Why would I think that?
- 894
- 01:03:15,208 --> 01:03:17,042
- It's totally ridiculous.
- 895
- 01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,625
- I guess I said the wrong thing.
- I'm sorry.
- 896
- 01:03:20,750 --> 01:03:22,250
- That's OK,
- 897
- 01:03:22,375 --> 01:03:25,042
- but you said you had a question.
- 898
- 01:03:25,167 --> 01:03:26,375
- I need to go soon.
- 899
- 01:03:26,500 --> 01:03:29,000
- It doesn't matter.
- I know the answer.
- 900
- 01:03:29,583 --> 01:03:30,292
- Yes?
- 901
- 01:03:30,417 --> 01:03:32,125
- There were other writers besides you
- 902
- 01:03:32,250 --> 01:03:35,375
- speaking at that symposium.
- 903
- 01:03:35,500 --> 01:03:38,417
- The moderator read out
- all their biographies.
- 904
- 01:03:38,875 --> 01:03:39,625
- Yes?
- 905
- 01:03:39,750 --> 01:03:41,458
- I was wondering if the writers
- 906
- 01:03:41,583 --> 01:03:44,625
- wrote those biographies themselves
- 907
- 01:03:44,750 --> 01:03:47,333
- or was it the organizing committee?
- 908
- 01:03:47,875 --> 01:03:50,042
- I expect everyone wrote their own.
- 909
- 01:03:50,542 --> 01:03:51,250
- Why?
- 910
- 01:03:51,417 --> 01:03:52,750
- I thought so.
- 911
- 01:03:52,875 --> 01:03:56,958
- The choices people make
- when they're describing themselves...
- 912
- 01:03:57,083 --> 01:04:01,000
- the things they consider important,
- the words they use, they're all...
- 913
- 01:04:01,792 --> 01:04:02,667
- well, interesting.
- 914
- 01:04:04,042 --> 01:04:05,000
- Meaning?
- 915
- 01:04:05,125 --> 01:04:07,583
- It's like a test of your self-image.
- 916
- 01:04:07,750 --> 01:04:10,167
- Try as you may to hide it,
- 917
- 01:04:10,292 --> 01:04:12,042
- it reveals itself somehow.
- 918
- 01:04:12,333 --> 01:04:16,625
- Then you can't help thinking
- you don't need to read
- 919
- 01:04:16,750 --> 01:04:18,667
- an author advertising himself,
- 920
- 01:04:18,792 --> 01:04:20,750
- like a slave waiting to be bought.
- 921
- 01:04:21,292 --> 01:04:23,958
- Well, think that if you want,
- 922
- 01:04:24,458 --> 01:04:26,625
- but you shouldn't look at it
- like that.
- 923
- 01:04:26,958 --> 01:04:29,958
- Don't judge a writer's work
- by his personality.
- 924
- 01:04:30,083 --> 01:04:31,292
- They're two different things.
- 925
- 01:04:31,417 --> 01:04:33,625
- How can you say that?
- 926
- 01:04:33,958 --> 01:04:36,417
- How can a writer be credible
- 927
- 01:04:36,542 --> 01:04:39,625
- if he can't see his real self?
- 928
- 01:04:39,792 --> 01:04:40,792
- Listen, young man...
- 929
- 01:04:40,917 --> 01:04:42,083
- I'm surprised at you.
- 930
- 01:04:42,208 --> 01:04:43,667
- - What was your name?
- - Sinan.
- 931
- 01:04:43,792 --> 01:04:48,208
- Sinan, if you're here to provoke me,
- there are many ways to do it.
- 932
- 01:04:48,333 --> 01:04:50,375
- No, of course not.
- 933
- 01:04:51,250 --> 01:04:53,458
- - You misunderstand.
- - You don't stop.
- 934
- 01:04:53,583 --> 01:04:56,125
- You aren't talking
- to an insentient being.
- 935
- 01:04:56,250 --> 01:04:59,250
- - Why would I provoke you?
- - No, OK.
- 936
- 01:04:59,375 --> 01:05:00,625
- Far be it from me...
- 937
- 01:05:00,750 --> 01:05:04,167
- Look, I've seen a lot.
- No matter, but...
- 938
- 01:05:05,375 --> 01:05:07,542
- What I'm trying to say is this.
- 939
- 01:05:08,625 --> 01:05:10,708
- There were five of us writers there.
- 940
- 01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:14,000
- Did some of the bios bother you?
- 941
- 01:05:14,667 --> 01:05:17,333
- No, not bother exactly,
- 942
- 01:05:18,250 --> 01:05:21,042
- embarrass might be more accurate,
- Mr Suleyman.
- 943
- 01:05:37,792 --> 01:05:40,125
- You're a student, right?
- 944
- 01:05:40,833 --> 01:05:42,958
- - I just graduated.
- - Really?
- 945
- 01:05:43,083 --> 01:05:44,250
- In what?
- 946
- 01:05:44,458 --> 01:05:45,667
- Primary teacher.
- 947
- 01:05:45,792 --> 01:05:47,167
- That's good.
- 948
- 01:05:47,292 --> 01:05:48,750
- Not bad, I guess.
- 949
- 01:05:49,042 --> 01:05:51,708
- So what now? The classroom?
- 950
- 01:05:51,833 --> 01:05:54,792
- I need to wait for the results
- of today's exam.
- 951
- 01:05:54,917 --> 01:05:56,167
- The exam was today?
- - Yes.
- 952
- 01:05:56,250 --> 01:05:58,583
- How did it go?
- 953
- 01:05:58,708 --> 01:06:02,292
- Not great. I may have to pick
- another career.
- 954
- 01:06:02,417 --> 01:06:03,292
- Such as?
- 955
- 01:06:03,417 --> 01:06:04,583
- The police for instance.
- 956
- 01:06:04,750 --> 01:06:07,500
- Like lots of teachers
- who can't get a job.
- 957
- 01:06:07,625 --> 01:06:10,375
- I have a friend
- who graduated in literature.
- 958
- 01:06:11,042 --> 01:06:13,000
- He joined the riot police
- 959
- 01:06:13,125 --> 01:06:15,292
- when no job came up.
- It pays well, too.
- 960
- 01:06:15,667 --> 01:06:17,958
- In my case, I could write for a living.
- 961
- 01:06:18,083 --> 01:06:19,250
- We'll see.
- 962
- 01:06:19,542 --> 01:06:22,208
- - Writing isn't easy either.
- - Sure isn't.
- 963
- 01:06:22,292 --> 01:06:24,375
- But don't let me discourage you.
- 964
- 01:06:24,500 --> 01:06:27,042
- No, I'm not afraid
- 965
- 01:06:27,167 --> 01:06:29,125
- of facing the facts, that is.
- 966
- 01:06:29,250 --> 01:06:32,083
- I struggled with a lot of issues
- when writing the book,
- 967
- 01:06:32,208 --> 01:06:33,500
- I can't deny it.
- 968
- 01:06:33,625 --> 01:06:35,792
- But the hardest thing of all
- 969
- 01:06:35,917 --> 01:06:40,833
- was to find my writing ordinary,
- 970
- 01:06:40,958 --> 01:06:43,500
- unlikely to interest anybody.
- 971
- 01:06:43,625 --> 01:06:46,708
- You write kind of similar stuff.
- 972
- 01:06:46,833 --> 01:06:49,333
- How do you sustain
- your self-belief to the end?
- 973
- 01:06:49,417 --> 01:06:54,458
- It's not what you write,
- but how you write it that matters.
- 974
- 01:06:54,583 --> 01:06:57,500
- We're back to the famous cliché.
- 975
- 01:06:57,917 --> 01:06:59,125
- Yes, but clichés
- 976
- 01:06:59,250 --> 01:07:01,667
- sometimes contain
- fundamental truths.
- 977
- 01:07:01,792 --> 01:07:07,083
- When I write, I enrich life,
- banality, with what I bring.
- 978
- 01:07:07,292 --> 01:07:09,000
- The point being
- 979
- 01:07:09,125 --> 01:07:11,000
- nothing is as ordinary as it seems.
- 980
- 01:07:11,292 --> 01:07:13,625
- I knead the dough, let it rise
- 981
- 01:07:13,708 --> 01:07:15,417
- and bake it.
- 982
- 01:07:15,958 --> 01:07:17,250
- Then we eat it.
- 983
- 01:07:18,208 --> 01:07:19,125
- Well.
- 984
- 01:07:19,375 --> 01:07:21,625
- - You see my point?
- - Sure.
- 985
- 01:07:21,750 --> 01:07:23,458
- There's subject matter everywhere,
- 986
- 01:07:23,583 --> 01:07:25,458
- but only if you can see it.
- 987
- 01:07:25,583 --> 01:07:27,875
- What if you can see it
- but not articulate it?
- 988
- 01:07:27,958 --> 01:07:31,250
- You need to work.
- But talent is the main thing.
- 989
- 01:07:31,375 --> 01:07:34,667
- So should people like us
- give up writing?
- 990
- 01:07:36,208 --> 01:07:37,167
- When you say "us"?
- 991
- 01:07:37,250 --> 01:07:40,000
- People not born with that magical power.
- 992
- 01:07:40,833 --> 01:07:43,375
- Frankly, I think I'm lucky there.
- 993
- 01:07:43,500 --> 01:07:45,917
- Don't be so quick to judge yourself.
- 994
- 01:07:46,042 --> 01:07:47,667
- You're on your first book.
- 995
- 01:07:47,792 --> 01:07:49,708
- And it hasn't even been published yet.
- 996
- 01:07:49,792 --> 01:07:51,708
- You must soldier on.
- 997
- 01:07:51,833 --> 01:07:53,958
- Or knuckle down to teach in the east.
- 998
- 01:07:54,083 --> 01:07:55,417
- Do that anyway.
- 999
- 01:07:55,625 --> 01:07:57,583
- And remember teaching
- 1000
- 01:07:57,708 --> 01:08:00,833
- is one job
- that leaves time for writing.
- 1001
- 01:08:00,958 --> 01:08:04,375
- Maybe that's why there are
- so many writer-teachers around.
- 1002
- 01:08:04,542 --> 01:08:06,708
- Anyway.
- 1003
- 01:08:07,125 --> 01:08:10,250
- When it comes to writing,
- I don't believe in excuses.
- 1004
- 01:08:10,625 --> 01:08:14,167
- A good writer doesn't whine.
- He sits down and writes.
- 1005
- 01:08:14,292 --> 01:08:15,958
- Whatever the circumstances.
- 1006
- 01:08:18,292 --> 01:08:20,375
- At the cost of neglecting
- family and friends
- 1007
- 01:08:20,500 --> 01:08:23,125
- or using them if need be?
- 1008
- 01:08:24,917 --> 01:08:26,250
- Why not?
- 1009
- 01:08:26,500 --> 01:08:29,792
- Anything goes
- if your conscience can handle it.
- 1010
- 01:08:30,208 --> 01:08:31,250
- You already know that.
- 1011
- 01:08:31,375 --> 01:08:35,000
- - What if it can't?
- - Then you'll suffer for it.
- 1012
- 01:08:35,208 --> 01:08:38,500
- Writers must be able
- to take risks.
- 1013
- 01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:42,417
- Iron doesn't become steel
- without time in the furnace.
- 1014
- 01:08:44,333 --> 01:08:47,667
- Say there's an object
- you're prepared to discard.
- 1015
- 01:08:48,167 --> 01:08:52,542
- Most people see it as sacred,
- but ultimately it's an object.
- 1016
- 01:08:53,042 --> 01:08:56,833
- Now, this object
- can help someone so much
- 1017
- 01:08:56,958 --> 01:09:00,083
- that it may even contribute minutely
- to the advancement of humanity.
- 1018
- 01:09:00,458 --> 01:09:01,333
- Yes?
- 1019
- 01:09:01,458 --> 01:09:03,042
- In your opinion,
- 1020
- 01:09:03,167 --> 01:09:06,583
- would it be out-of-line
- to grab the object for yourself
- 1021
- 01:09:06,708 --> 01:09:08,917
- behind the owner's back?
- 1022
- 01:09:11,667 --> 01:09:13,250
- Maybe not, but...
- 1023
- 01:09:13,417 --> 01:09:16,750
- if the owner then bashes
- the 'grabber' on the head
- 1024
- 01:09:16,875 --> 01:09:18,375
- and breaks his skull,
- 1025
- 01:09:19,083 --> 01:09:21,125
- that wouldn't be
- out-of-line either.
- 1026
- 01:09:23,625 --> 01:09:25,667
- Anyway, I have to go.
- 1027
- 01:09:29,208 --> 01:09:32,583
- Anyone would think
- you're running away.
- 1028
- 01:09:32,875 --> 01:09:34,417
- I've already stayed too long.
- 1029
- 01:09:35,750 --> 01:09:38,875
- I still have one last question.
- 1030
- 01:09:40,333 --> 01:09:41,958
- For how many points?
- 1031
- 01:09:42,500 --> 01:09:44,292
- Lots.
- 1032
- 01:09:44,375 --> 01:09:46,625
- In that case, go ahead.
- 1033
- 01:09:47,083 --> 01:09:49,833
- Most of the rural writers
- at the symposium
- 1034
- 01:09:49,958 --> 01:09:52,083
- agreed that literature
- 1035
- 01:09:52,208 --> 01:09:55,792
- has no centre
- other than the language,
- 1036
- 01:09:55,917 --> 01:09:58,333
- where pen meets paper.
- 1037
- 01:09:58,458 --> 01:09:59,375
- I'm off now!
- 1038
- 01:09:59,500 --> 01:10:00,958
- Goodbye, Mr Suleyman!
- 1039
- 01:10:02,083 --> 01:10:04,250
- Do you really believe that?
- 1040
- 01:10:04,583 --> 01:10:09,125
- It's a bit too vast a subject.
- 1041
- 01:10:09,792 --> 01:10:12,125
- - Don't you believe it?
- - I don't know.
- 1042
- 01:10:12,250 --> 01:10:15,833
- They read a letter from a writer
- who refused to come.
- 1043
- 01:10:15,958 --> 01:10:17,708
- - You remember?
- - Yes.
- 1044
- 01:10:17,875 --> 01:10:21,042
- I'd love to know
- what you thought of it.
- 1045
- 01:10:21,167 --> 01:10:24,083
- The writer called himself
- an undiluted rural man.
- 1046
- 01:10:24,208 --> 01:10:27,708
- I don't remember
- exactly what was in the letter.
- 1047
- 01:10:27,917 --> 01:10:32,250
- The gist was
- to subtly condemn or show his contempt
- 1048
- 01:10:32,500 --> 01:10:37,000
- for those taking part
- in these kinds of events.
- 1049
- 01:10:37,292 --> 01:10:38,583
- That's why I'm asking.
- 1050
- 01:10:38,667 --> 01:10:41,000
- If I'd been a speaker there like you,
- 1051
- 01:10:41,125 --> 01:10:45,125
- it would've made me uncomfortable.
- 1052
- 01:10:45,333 --> 01:10:46,458
- Why?
- 1053
- 01:10:46,625 --> 01:10:49,458
- I don't know.
- But given the letter,
- 1054
- 01:10:49,583 --> 01:10:52,958
- the speakers suddenly looked like
- 1055
- 01:10:53,083 --> 01:10:55,792
- cultural missionaries
- 1056
- 01:10:55,917 --> 01:10:59,792
- who came there to say
- they'd die if they couldn't write.
- 1057
- 01:11:02,458 --> 01:11:04,750
- You know what?
- 1058
- 01:11:05,125 --> 01:11:08,833
- You're like Semir in Survivor.
- Why are you so contrarian?
- 1059
- 01:11:08,958 --> 01:11:11,375
- So you watch Survivor!
- 1060
- 01:11:11,500 --> 01:11:12,875
- But I thought artists
- 1061
- 01:11:12,958 --> 01:11:15,000
- were supposed to oppose everything?
- 1062
- 01:11:15,375 --> 01:11:17,958
- No. You have the wrong idea.
- 1063
- 01:11:18,667 --> 01:11:22,958
- If I'd been in charge,
- I wouldn't have read out the letter.
- 1064
- 01:11:23,125 --> 01:11:27,042
- I wouldn't want to be part
- of a cheap stunt.
- 1065
- 01:11:27,167 --> 01:11:30,500
- What is this remote-controlled manifesto?
- 1066
- 01:11:30,792 --> 01:11:32,333
- The letter annoyed you?
- 1067
- 01:11:32,458 --> 01:11:34,583
- No, I don't give a damn.
- 1068
- 01:11:34,708 --> 01:11:36,542
- The dogs bark,
- the caravan moves on.
- 1069
- 01:11:36,667 --> 01:11:39,125
- There are many ways to be valued.
- 1070
- 01:11:39,500 --> 01:11:40,708
- I'm not stupid.
- 1071
- 01:11:40,833 --> 01:11:43,667
- I see how they try to grab the limelight.
- 1072
- 01:11:43,792 --> 01:11:45,417
- He said that, from the start,
- 1073
- 01:11:45,500 --> 01:11:48,542
- he swore never to go to these events.
- 1074
- 01:11:48,667 --> 01:11:49,708
- For one thing,
- 1075
- 01:11:49,833 --> 01:11:53,708
- you don't start writing
- like you start a regular job.
- 1076
- 01:11:53,833 --> 01:11:55,000
- That's just a cheap game.
- 1077
- 01:11:55,083 --> 01:11:58,292
- But in this world
- where nothing is sacred,
- 1078
- 01:11:58,417 --> 01:12:03,208
- someone isolating himself
- for the sake of art
- 1079
- 01:12:03,333 --> 01:12:05,958
- doesn't give you hope?
- 1080
- 01:12:06,458 --> 01:12:10,000
- He refuses teamwork, collaborations
- 1081
- 01:12:10,125 --> 01:12:12,625
- and artistic alliances.
- 1082
- 01:12:12,833 --> 01:12:13,917
- On the contrary,
- 1083
- 01:12:14,042 --> 01:12:17,375
- that letter struck me
- as the dithering of a naive youth
- 1084
- 01:12:17,500 --> 01:12:19,167
- too mortified to speak
- 1085
- 01:12:19,792 --> 01:12:21,542
- in front of a crowd he overrates,
- 1086
- 01:12:21,667 --> 01:12:25,708
- but desperate to conceal this failing
- from himself and the world
- 1087
- 01:12:25,917 --> 01:12:28,792
- under the veil of philosophy.
- 1088
- 01:12:29,167 --> 01:12:30,792
- But you won't understand this yet.
- 1089
- 01:12:30,917 --> 01:12:32,667
- Why not?
- 1090
- 01:12:35,750 --> 01:12:37,750
- You're too young.
- 1091
- 01:12:38,208 --> 01:12:41,375
- As you get older
- you will begin to see
- 1092
- 01:12:41,458 --> 01:12:46,125
- romantic ventures like that letter
- 1093
- 01:12:46,250 --> 01:12:50,167
- as the callow excesses
- of a young heart.
- 1094
- 01:12:50,292 --> 01:12:51,000
- Callow excesses?
- 1095
- 01:12:51,083 --> 01:12:53,500
- The letter's not bad.
- 1096
- 01:12:53,625 --> 01:12:56,042
- I see it as an impassioned cry
- 1097
- 01:12:56,167 --> 01:12:58,458
- from the depths of the countryside.
- 1098
- 01:12:58,583 --> 01:12:59,625
- Nonetheless...
- 1099
- 01:12:59,750 --> 01:13:03,000
- I'm sorry to say I find it sugary
- 1100
- 01:13:03,125 --> 01:13:05,583
- and nauseatingly sentimental.
- 1101
- 01:13:06,125 --> 01:13:09,917
- Don't think I didn't realize
- soon after meeting you,
- 1102
- 01:13:10,042 --> 01:13:12,833
- that you're an incurably
- obsessed romantic.
- 1103
- 01:13:12,958 --> 01:13:14,500
- I'm not obsessed...
- 1104
- 01:13:14,625 --> 01:13:16,167
- But despite everything,
- 1105
- 01:13:16,292 --> 01:13:19,208
- as you saw, I didn't walk away.
- 1106
- 01:13:19,333 --> 01:13:20,875
- I didn't send you packing.
- 1107
- 01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:23,083
- I let you get it all out.
- 1108
- 01:13:23,208 --> 01:13:26,542
- I was patient and polite
- despite your sarcasm and insinuations.
- 1109
- 01:13:26,625 --> 01:13:29,375
- - But it's time you let me go home!
- - No, no! There was no sarcasm.
- 1110
- 01:13:29,500 --> 01:13:31,375
- OK? Let me go home
- 1111
- 01:13:31,458 --> 01:13:34,500
- and soak my feet in salt water!
- 1112
- 01:13:34,583 --> 01:13:36,958
- - You know why?
- - You misunderstand.
- 1113
- 01:13:37,083 --> 01:13:41,792
- Because there's just one reality
- I've been aware of the last half-hour.
- 1114
- 01:13:41,875 --> 01:13:45,083
- The searing pain in my legs
- 1115
- 01:13:45,208 --> 01:13:47,250
- and sneaky pain in my neck
- 1116
- 01:13:47,375 --> 01:13:50,167
- just waiting
- 1117
- 01:13:50,292 --> 01:13:53,167
- to become a killer migraine.
- 1118
- 01:13:53,292 --> 01:13:55,583
- You know what that means, young friend?
- 1119
- 01:13:55,708 --> 01:13:59,958
- I don't fucking care
- about the centre of literature
- 1120
- 01:14:00,083 --> 01:14:01,458
- being language or any other shit!
- 1121
- 01:14:01,583 --> 01:14:04,542
- That's what naive brains like yours
- fail to grasp!
- 1122
- 01:14:04,667 --> 01:14:06,750
- There isn't only one reality!
- 1123
- 01:14:06,875 --> 01:14:07,875
- That's going a bit far.
- 1124
- 01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:10,917
- Literature, success... You can keep them!
- 1125
- 01:14:11,875 --> 01:14:13,333
- - All yours!
- - People are staring.
- 1126
- 01:14:13,458 --> 01:14:15,667
- I'd turn down a Nobel Prize right now!
- 1127
- 01:14:15,792 --> 01:14:17,417
- Can I be any clearer?
- 1128
- 01:14:18,625 --> 01:14:21,667
- So excuse me, young friend.
- I'm going!
- 1129
- 01:14:39,375 --> 01:14:42,917
- Fuck you if you'd turn down a Nobel!
- 1130
- 01:14:52,583 --> 01:14:53,750
- Mr Suleyman!
- 1131
- 01:14:55,042 --> 01:14:59,167
- Could you possibly read my first draft?
- 1132
- 01:15:00,125 --> 01:15:02,500
- It would be great to get your feedback,
- 1133
- 01:15:02,625 --> 01:15:05,042
- especially after that last tirade.
- 1134
- 01:15:05,583 --> 01:15:07,708
- Sorry, I can't do that.
- 1135
- 01:15:07,833 --> 01:15:09,667
- Really. Why?
- 1136
- 01:15:10,833 --> 01:15:14,833
- If I tried to read every book
- I was asked to,
- 1137
- 01:15:14,958 --> 01:15:16,500
- how would I ever write my own?
- 1138
- 01:15:16,625 --> 01:15:19,292
- Don't then. That wouldn't be a great loss.
- 1139
- 01:15:20,125 --> 01:15:21,833
- OK, OK. That was a joke.
- 1140
- 01:15:22,792 --> 01:15:25,333
- Anyway, thanks all the same.
- 1141
- 01:18:14,125 --> 01:18:14,958
- Hey, wake up.
- 1142
- 01:18:15,333 --> 01:18:16,833
- We've arrived.
- 1143
- 01:18:54,875 --> 01:18:56,208
- Go to the betting shop!
- 1144
- 01:18:56,333 --> 01:18:58,292
- So he's ashamed to see you.
- 1145
- 01:18:59,292 --> 01:19:01,042
- What's this about, Muharrem?
- 1146
- 01:19:01,167 --> 01:19:04,042
- Teachers should set an example.
- 1147
- 01:19:04,167 --> 01:19:05,542
- What kind of example is he?
- 1148
- 01:19:05,667 --> 01:19:07,625
- Go and he might be ashamed!
- 1149
- 01:19:11,167 --> 01:19:12,750
- Are you an example?
- 1150
- 01:19:12,875 --> 01:19:14,250
- Look at you!
- 1151
- 01:19:15,292 --> 01:19:16,417
- Baldy!
- 1152
- 01:19:38,250 --> 01:19:40,000
- Hey! Welcome.
- 1153
- 01:19:40,417 --> 01:19:42,042
- What's that? Fish?
- 1154
- 01:19:44,500 --> 01:19:45,875
- You're something else.
- 1155
- 01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:47,125
- What's up?
- 1156
- 01:19:47,583 --> 01:19:50,042
- You don't go to the Teachers' Club,
- 1157
- 01:19:50,250 --> 01:19:52,583
- you sit here with these idiots.
- 1158
- 01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:55,500
- What idiots?
- 1159
- 01:20:02,542 --> 01:20:04,000
- When did you get back?
- 1160
- 01:20:05,833 --> 01:20:08,500
- Go hang out at the Club.
- 1161
- 01:20:08,625 --> 01:20:10,250
- What you doing in this dive?
- 1162
- 01:20:10,375 --> 01:20:13,792
- Reading the paper.
- I'll go there later.
- 1163
- 01:20:15,792 --> 01:20:18,333
- Every time,
- somebody you owe ambushes me.
- 1164
- 01:20:18,458 --> 01:20:20,208
- I'm fed up!
- 1165
- 01:20:20,458 --> 01:20:22,708
- You're dragging us into your swamp.
- 1166
- 01:20:22,833 --> 01:20:24,958
- Who ambushed you? How dare they?
- 1167
- 01:20:25,083 --> 01:20:26,500
- What a nerve!
- 1168
- 01:20:28,250 --> 01:20:29,792
- What a nerve indeed.
- 1169
- 01:20:30,625 --> 01:20:32,125
- How can you be so relaxed
- 1170
- 01:20:33,583 --> 01:20:36,542
- while we bear the brunt?
- 1171
- 01:20:36,792 --> 01:20:38,708
- Seriously, what's the secret?
- 1172
- 01:20:38,792 --> 01:20:43,167
- What are you saying?
- Because I'm reading the paper?
- 1173
- 01:20:43,292 --> 01:20:45,875
- You still think
- it's about reading the paper!
- 1174
- 01:20:46,417 --> 01:20:48,500
- Didn't you promise not come back here?
- 1175
- 01:20:48,625 --> 01:20:50,792
- I'm not gambling.
- I'm reading my paper.
- 1176
- 01:20:50,875 --> 01:20:54,250
- Reading because you have to.
- Because you don't have...
- 1177
- 01:20:54,375 --> 01:20:56,250
- the money to gamble!
- 1178
- 01:20:56,417 --> 01:20:57,542
- Here we go again.
- 1179
- 01:20:57,833 --> 01:20:58,958
- Here you go again.
- 1180
- 01:21:02,500 --> 01:21:04,875
- I don't know
- what to say to you anymore.
- 1181
- 01:21:08,333 --> 01:21:10,042
- How was the exam?
- 1182
- 01:21:15,583 --> 01:21:16,917
- Bad.
- 1183
- 01:21:18,375 --> 01:21:20,708
- What do you expect?
- I didn't study.
- 1184
- 01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:23,667
- Why not?
- 1185
- 01:21:23,792 --> 01:21:25,667
- I just didn't.
- 1186
- 01:21:26,500 --> 01:21:29,083
- Never mind.
- At least college is over.
- 1187
- 01:21:29,208 --> 01:21:31,667
- Study and retake it next year.
- 1188
- 01:21:31,958 --> 01:21:33,625
- What are you looking for?
- 1189
- 01:21:33,750 --> 01:21:35,792
- An old notebook.
- 1190
- 01:21:36,167 --> 01:21:37,750
- It seems to be missing.
- 1191
- 01:21:37,875 --> 01:21:39,500
- Has anyone been rummaging in there?
- 1192
- 01:21:39,625 --> 01:21:41,417
- No. Who would do that?
- 1193
- 01:21:44,792 --> 01:21:47,292
- Pass me that green album, will you?
- 1194
- 01:22:06,667 --> 01:22:07,875
- Look at that.
- 1195
- 01:22:08,708 --> 01:22:12,292
- When I see the bigwigs
- he used to hang around with,
- 1196
- 01:22:12,708 --> 01:22:15,875
- it's hard to believe now.
- 1197
- 01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:19,042
- Who were these bigwigs?
- 1198
- 01:22:19,500 --> 01:22:22,375
- I don't know. Head teachers,
- 1199
- 01:22:22,917 --> 01:22:26,083
- people from the education board,
- that kind.
- 1200
- 01:22:27,583 --> 01:22:29,917
- Is that what you call bigwigs?
- 1201
- 01:22:30,333 --> 01:22:34,333
- Yes. Decent, honest people.
- 1202
- 01:22:35,375 --> 01:22:38,333
- Not like that Ekrem
- he hangs out with now.
- 1203
- 01:22:38,708 --> 01:22:40,375
- Look how low he's sunk.
- 1204
- 01:22:41,667 --> 01:22:42,875
- Which Ekrem?
- 1205
- 01:22:43,667 --> 01:22:46,500
- Remember your pal
- from the industrial park?
- 1206
- 01:22:46,625 --> 01:22:48,500
- Ekrem with the big head?
- 1207
- 01:22:50,167 --> 01:22:52,833
- Stop doing people down.
- Shame on you!
- 1208
- 01:22:53,042 --> 01:22:54,417
- What a jerk!
- 1209
- 01:22:54,542 --> 01:22:57,417
- Friends with a guy his dad's age?
- 1210
- 01:22:57,917 --> 01:22:59,958
- Unbelievable.
- 1211
- 01:23:00,083 --> 01:23:02,542
- Nobody asks after us now.
- 1212
- 01:23:02,667 --> 01:23:04,208
- He's ruined his reputation.
- 1213
- 01:23:04,333 --> 01:23:07,667
- And with gambling for years,
- 1214
- 01:23:07,792 --> 01:23:12,292
- he could at least surprise us
- by winning once.
- 1215
- 01:23:12,708 --> 01:23:15,833
- He'd only gamble it away again.
- 1216
- 01:23:17,292 --> 01:23:19,500
- How do you know he's never won?
- 1217
- 01:23:20,792 --> 01:23:23,667
- You share the winnings, don't you?
- 1218
- 01:23:26,083 --> 01:23:27,458
- If only...
- 1219
- 01:23:27,583 --> 01:23:29,958
- He even got a merit award.
- 1220
- 01:23:30,333 --> 01:23:31,542
- Sure.
- 1221
- 01:23:31,667 --> 01:23:34,417
- He wasn't like this before.
- He was ambitious.
- 1222
- 01:23:34,542 --> 01:23:36,042
- He worked like crazy.
- 1223
- 01:23:36,167 --> 01:23:39,083
- Hard to imagine that now.
- 1224
- 01:23:40,542 --> 01:23:42,333
- Time is strange.
- 1225
- 01:23:42,458 --> 01:23:44,000
- It slips by without you noticing.
- 1226
- 01:23:44,125 --> 01:23:47,917
- What else would it do?
- Wait for you to do something?
- 1227
- 01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:48,958
- What?
- 1228
- 01:23:49,625 --> 01:23:51,042
- Wait for who to do what?
- 1229
- 01:23:51,167 --> 01:23:54,208
- Nothing.
- I'm just saying time marches on.
- 1230
- 01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:57,917
- Someone once called time a silent saw.
- 1231
- 01:23:58,250 --> 01:24:00,625
- You never know what it'll do to us.
- 1232
- 01:24:03,417 --> 01:24:05,250
- Look what he wrote
- on this photo.
- 1233
- 01:24:05,750 --> 01:24:07,917
- "I'm walking along a road,
- 1234
- 01:24:08,250 --> 01:24:09,625
- not knowing where it leads."
- 1235
- 01:24:12,583 --> 01:24:14,250
- Look at the words he uses.
- 1236
- 01:24:14,375 --> 01:24:15,875
- Thinks he's Tolstoy!
- 1237
- 01:24:16,500 --> 01:24:18,625
- Like he has the guts
- to walk away!
- 1238
- 01:24:18,708 --> 01:24:21,208
- Don't say that.
- He did run off once.
- 1239
- 01:24:21,333 --> 01:24:22,625
- And what happened?
- 1240
- 01:24:22,958 --> 01:24:25,375
- Scuttled back two days later.
- 1241
- 01:24:50,458 --> 01:24:52,208
- I understand what you just said.
- 1242
- 01:24:53,125 --> 01:24:54,583
- Which bit?
- 1243
- 01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:57,375
- About time not waiting
- 1244
- 01:24:57,500 --> 01:24:59,500
- for us to do something.
- 1245
- 01:24:59,625 --> 01:25:00,708
- Well?
- 1246
- 01:25:02,083 --> 01:25:04,125
- Have we done nothing for you?
- 1247
- 01:25:05,833 --> 01:25:07,042
- Did I say that?
- 1248
- 01:25:07,167 --> 01:25:09,208
- No matter what, he's your father.
- 1249
- 01:25:09,375 --> 01:25:12,167
- Without him
- you'd never have gone to college.
- 1250
- 01:25:12,292 --> 01:25:14,167
- He worked hard for you.
- 1251
- 01:25:14,250 --> 01:25:15,792
- What good did it do?
- 1252
- 01:25:15,917 --> 01:25:19,875
- - You got everything you wanted.
- - He put me in a faith dorm to avoid paying.
- 1253
- 01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,042
- All the kids envied your toys.
- 1254
- 01:25:22,167 --> 01:25:23,917
- Thank God I've escaped that crap.
- 1255
- 01:25:24,042 --> 01:25:25,375
- You had it easy.
- 1256
- 01:25:25,500 --> 01:25:26,750
- Did I deny it?
- 1257
- 01:25:26,875 --> 01:25:28,750
- Think how hard it was for them.
- 1258
- 01:25:28,833 --> 01:25:31,417
- If he's so great, keep him.
- 1259
- 01:25:31,792 --> 01:25:35,083
- At 40 you have to start babysitting
- 1260
- 01:25:35,208 --> 01:25:37,042
- and still you're defending him!
- 1261
- 01:25:37,167 --> 01:25:40,458
- That's different.
- Just look around you.
- 1262
- 01:25:40,792 --> 01:25:44,458
- Other fathers are violent, they drink.
- 1263
- 01:25:45,208 --> 01:25:48,333
- Your dad never hit you once, did he?
- 1264
- 01:25:48,458 --> 01:25:51,625
- It would've been better
- than making all those promises
- 1265
- 01:25:54,458 --> 01:25:56,875
- and still going to the betting shop.
- 1266
- 01:26:02,042 --> 01:26:04,583
- I wasn't going to tell you.
- 1267
- 01:26:04,958 --> 01:26:06,542
- But you pushed me.
- 1268
- 01:26:08,333 --> 01:26:12,833
- Though if I hadn't told you,
- would it change the truth anyway?
- 1269
- 01:26:29,833 --> 01:26:32,042
- I didn't raise you to do evil.
- 1270
- 01:26:32,167 --> 01:26:33,875
- Enough!
- 1271
- 01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:35,542
- My heart can't take it!
- 1272
- 01:26:35,667 --> 01:26:36,625
- Sinan?
- 1273
- 01:26:37,458 --> 01:26:39,750
- Give them a hand with that sofa.
- 1274
- 01:26:39,875 --> 01:26:42,042
- I can't. My back is a mess.
- 1275
- 01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:50,875
- I'm your mother!
- Isn't it my right to see you happy?
- 1276
- 01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:53,833
- Must I always live with the thought
- that you'll be killed?
- 1277
- 01:26:54,750 --> 01:26:56,667
- But, mother! Dearest mother!
- 1278
- 01:26:56,833 --> 01:26:58,542
- I want to live, not die!
- 1279
- 01:26:59,125 --> 01:27:02,833
- Don't you remember our childhood?
- 1280
- 01:27:02,917 --> 01:27:06,333
- Growing up in rags, no father.
- All that suffering!
- 1281
- 01:27:07,083 --> 01:27:09,458
- Got any rope?
- 1282
- 01:27:09,583 --> 01:27:11,667
- The caretaker's yelling at us.
- 1283
- 01:27:11,792 --> 01:27:14,000
- Do we have any rope in the house?
- 1284
- 01:27:18,917 --> 01:27:21,625
- Have you got any thick rope?
- 1285
- 01:27:21,750 --> 01:27:24,583
- We can't move that couch without it.
- 1286
- 01:27:24,708 --> 01:27:26,833
- - Our rope broke.
- - I'll have a look.
- 1287
- 01:27:27,167 --> 01:27:30,333
- We don't want to mark
- those newly painted walls.
- 1288
- 01:27:33,042 --> 01:27:35,833
- Our father died in poverty
- 1289
- 01:27:36,167 --> 01:27:38,958
- I while we studied under streetlamps.
- 1290
- 01:27:39,125 --> 01:27:43,500
- I risked death
- to avoid being a slave.
- 1291
- 01:27:44,583 --> 01:27:47,083
- And what did it change? Who loves you?
- 1292
- 01:27:47,208 --> 01:27:48,542
- Everyone's afraid of you.
- 1293
- 01:27:48,667 --> 01:27:50,292
- Everyone hates you.
- 1294
- 01:27:50,417 --> 01:27:52,292
- Even your friends.
- 1295
- 01:27:52,417 --> 01:27:53,333
- Even me!
- 1296
- 01:27:53,458 --> 01:27:55,292
- How's this?
- 1297
- 01:27:55,417 --> 01:27:57,083
- Got anything thicker?
- 1298
- 01:27:58,417 --> 01:28:00,292
- No. Won't this do?
- 1299
- 01:28:00,875 --> 01:28:02,417
- We can try it.
- 1300
- 01:28:02,542 --> 01:28:06,250
- That staircase is too steep and narrow
- to do it without rope.
- 1301
- 01:28:06,375 --> 01:28:07,667
- Thanks.
- 1302
- 01:28:07,792 --> 01:28:10,000
- Enough! Enough!
- 1303
- 01:28:10,125 --> 01:28:13,208
- I won't let a stranger kill you!
- I'll kill you myself!
- 1304
- 01:28:13,333 --> 01:28:16,875
- I'm the one who's going to kill you!
- Me! Me!
- 1305
- 01:29:03,583 --> 01:29:06,875
- I rely on my gun.
- My life is threatened.
- 1306
- 01:29:07,042 --> 01:29:09,208
- They want me dead in Istanbul.
- 1307
- 01:29:09,333 --> 01:29:11,375
- There's a bounty on my head.
- 1308
- 01:29:11,500 --> 01:29:14,083
- Not if you walk away from it, Firat.
- 1309
- 01:29:14,375 --> 01:29:15,708
- If only you'd understand.
- 1310
- 01:29:16,208 --> 01:29:17,583
- If only you could.
- 1311
- 01:29:18,125 --> 01:29:19,208
- Cigdem,
- 1312
- 01:29:19,333 --> 01:29:21,792
- you, me and my gun?
- 1313
- 01:29:21,958 --> 01:29:24,667
- - You, me and my gun.
- Can't we do that?
- 1314
- 01:29:24,792 --> 01:29:26,333
- - Say yes!
- - No!
- 1315
- 01:29:26,458 --> 01:29:27,250
- Say yes!
- 1316
- 01:29:27,375 --> 01:29:28,542
- No!
- 1317
- 01:29:56,833 --> 01:29:58,917
- Did anyone take money from my pocket?
- 1318
- 01:29:59,500 --> 01:30:00,542
- What?
- 1319
- 01:30:02,042 --> 01:30:03,292
- Money.
- 1320
- 01:30:03,667 --> 01:30:05,583
- Did anyone take my money?
- 1321
- 01:30:05,708 --> 01:30:07,125
- There's 300 missing.
- 1322
- 01:30:09,875 --> 01:30:11,917
- What? What money?
- 1323
- 01:30:13,750 --> 01:30:16,208
- I had 700 lira, I'm missing 300.
- 1324
- 01:30:16,500 --> 01:30:18,875
- If it was a joke, it's not funny.
- 1325
- 01:30:19,125 --> 01:30:22,208
- C'mon, who'd do that?
- Where was the money?
- 1326
- 01:30:22,333 --> 01:30:23,917
- In my top pocket.
- 1327
- 01:30:24,042 --> 01:30:26,125
- What could've happened to it?
- 1328
- 01:30:26,250 --> 01:30:28,208
- Did you have a good look?
- 1329
- 01:30:28,333 --> 01:30:30,875
- Could it be in your trousers?
- 1330
- 01:30:33,333 --> 01:30:35,750
- Whoever took it, give it back!
- 1331
- 01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:38,375
- Who's "whoever"?
- 1332
- 01:30:38,500 --> 01:30:40,417
- Who would take your money here?
- 1333
- 01:30:40,542 --> 01:30:41,833
- Why all the drama?
- 1334
- 01:30:41,958 --> 01:30:44,458
- Calm down! Let's just think.
- 1335
- 01:30:45,125 --> 01:30:46,208
- Are you yelling at me?
- 1336
- 01:30:46,333 --> 01:30:48,292
- Hey! What's the yelling about?
- 1337
- 01:30:48,417 --> 01:30:50,750
- He lost his money and is accusing us.
- 1338
- 01:30:50,875 --> 01:30:51,583
- What money?
- 1339
- 01:30:51,708 --> 01:30:55,000
- Lost it in the house?
- When did you last see it?
- 1340
- 01:30:55,125 --> 01:30:59,000
- If it's lost,
- you look for it and find it.
- 1341
- 01:31:04,458 --> 01:31:06,333
- Hang on.
- 1342
- 01:31:06,875 --> 01:31:09,250
- You don't think it was the workers?
- 1343
- 01:31:09,875 --> 01:31:11,042
- The door was open.
- 1344
- 01:31:11,167 --> 01:31:14,250
- Maybe when you went to help, someone...
- 1345
- 01:31:14,375 --> 01:31:17,583
- But no, no. That can't be it.
- 1346
- 01:31:17,708 --> 01:31:19,958
- It's not fair to accuse them.
- 1347
- 01:31:20,083 --> 01:31:21,958
- Were they inside alone?
- 1348
- 01:31:22,083 --> 01:31:25,792
- The guy was at the door
- when I went to get the rope.
- 1349
- 01:31:25,917 --> 01:31:28,250
- But not for long.
- 1350
- 01:31:30,958 --> 01:31:31,917
- The rope's there.
- 1351
- 01:31:32,042 --> 01:31:34,333
- What workers, for God's sake!
- 1352
- 01:31:35,333 --> 01:31:37,833
- How come you had 700 lira anyway?
- 1353
- 01:31:37,917 --> 01:31:41,125
- "How come you had 700 lira anyway?"
- 1354
- 01:31:41,875 --> 01:31:43,292
- It was my book money!
- 1355
- 01:31:43,417 --> 01:31:45,667
- But you're done with college.
- 1356
- 01:31:45,792 --> 01:31:47,750
- Are you guys taking the piss?
- 1357
- 01:31:47,875 --> 01:31:50,083
- I saved it to publish my book!
- 1358
- 01:31:50,208 --> 01:31:52,417
- The book I wrote, not textbooks.
- 1359
- 01:31:52,500 --> 01:31:54,917
- - What book? What kind of book?
- - A good book!
- 1360
- 01:31:55,042 --> 01:31:56,417
- You wrote it?
- 1361
- 01:31:56,542 --> 01:31:58,208
- No, Grandad did!
- 1362
- 01:31:59,083 --> 01:32:02,875
- OK, something urgent came up,
- someone needed it. That can happen.
- 1363
- 01:32:03,083 --> 01:32:04,625
- But whoever took it, give it back.
- 1364
- 01:32:04,750 --> 01:32:07,292
- And he's still saying that!
- 1365
- 01:32:07,417 --> 01:32:08,750
- We took your money, did we?
- 1366
- 01:32:08,875 --> 01:32:10,667
- "We took your money, did we?"
- 1367
- 01:32:10,792 --> 01:32:12,000
- Listen to him!
- 1368
- 01:32:12,792 --> 01:32:14,875
- Mum, say something!
- 1369
- 01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:17,500
- Calm down! The neighbours will hear!
- 1370
- 01:32:17,625 --> 01:32:19,875
- What are you doing?
- 1371
- 01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:21,333
- Stop!
- 1372
- 01:32:21,667 --> 01:32:25,542
- - He's accusing us of stealing!
- - Quiet, Yasemin! Get in there.
- 1373
- 01:32:25,667 --> 01:32:28,375
- Very funny, Dad! Very funny.
- 1374
- 01:32:29,667 --> 01:32:31,458
- Show some respect.
- 1375
- 01:32:31,583 --> 01:32:34,375
- An angry man is his own worst enemy.
- 1376
- 01:32:34,500 --> 01:32:38,083
- Is it worth breaking hearts over money?
- 1377
- 01:32:38,292 --> 01:32:40,875
- - I said "whoever"!
- - C'mon, you're a graduate.
- 1378
- 01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:42,433
- How about looking after your money!
- 1379
- 01:32:43,292 --> 01:32:45,375
- That's enough!
- 1380
- 01:32:45,583 --> 01:32:47,083
- Let's sit down
- 1381
- 01:32:47,208 --> 01:32:49,333
- and think calmly,
- for goodness sake!
- 1382
- 01:33:30,417 --> 01:33:33,250
- I can leave you the file
- if you like.
- 1383
- 01:33:33,375 --> 01:33:35,750
- It might take a while
- to read the whole thing.
- 1384
- 01:33:35,958 --> 01:33:38,042
- No need. Nice job.
- 1385
- 01:33:38,458 --> 01:33:40,958
- I don't know.
- Maybe it makes no sense.
- 1386
- 01:33:41,083 --> 01:33:43,792
- No, it's a great book.
- 1387
- 01:33:43,917 --> 01:33:45,917
- Seriously.
- 1388
- 01:33:46,042 --> 01:33:48,083
- I like things like this.
- 1389
- 01:33:48,208 --> 01:33:49,792
- Seriously, bravo!
- 1390
- 01:33:49,917 --> 01:33:51,042
- Thanks.
- 1391
- 01:33:51,167 --> 01:33:54,917
- The mayor said you're a big reader.
- 1392
- 01:33:55,042 --> 01:33:56,833
- That's right, I am.
- 1393
- 01:33:56,917 --> 01:33:59,917
- I haven't read a lot lately, though.
- 1394
- 01:34:00,042 --> 01:34:01,667
- But I used to, yes.
- 1395
- 01:34:05,458 --> 01:34:07,625
- I'm just back from Bursa actually.
- 1396
- 01:34:08,208 --> 01:34:10,750
- - My mother needed surgery.
- - Really?
- 1397
- 01:34:10,875 --> 01:34:12,375
- Apart from the stress,
- 1398
- 01:34:12,500 --> 01:34:13,542
- it cost a lot.
- 1399
- 01:34:13,667 --> 01:34:15,375
- Sorry to hear it.
- 1400
- 01:34:15,500 --> 01:34:18,000
- I also want to revamp this place.
- 1401
- 01:34:18,125 --> 01:34:22,042
- I want to extend the front
- to give it a more corporate look.
- 1402
- 01:34:22,167 --> 01:34:24,542
- Good idea.
- But this also works.
- 1403
- 01:34:24,667 --> 01:34:25,875
- When it's done,
- 1404
- 01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:28,500
- I want to photograph it.
- 1405
- 01:34:29,375 --> 01:34:30,833
- Do you have a camera?
- 1406
- 01:34:31,083 --> 01:34:32,583
- No.
- 1407
- 01:34:33,375 --> 01:34:34,625
- But I could get one.
- 1408
- 01:34:34,750 --> 01:34:37,750
- I have an old one at home actually.
- 1409
- 01:34:37,875 --> 01:34:40,042
- I don't know if it would do.
- It's small.
- 1410
- 01:34:42,958 --> 01:34:44,333
- Yes, Sinan?
- 1411
- 01:34:44,792 --> 01:34:45,917
- Well...
- 1412
- 01:34:46,333 --> 01:34:49,333
- It's all about life, people,
- the 'life culture' here.
- 1413
- 01:34:49,458 --> 01:34:51,250
- Nice, bravo.
- 1414
- 01:34:51,375 --> 01:34:54,583
- - Congratulations. Really.
- - Thanks.
- 1415
- 01:34:54,917 --> 01:34:57,083
- - I like hard workers.
- - Thanks.
- 1416
- 01:34:57,208 --> 01:34:59,083
- How long did it take you to write this?
- 1417
- 01:34:59,208 --> 01:35:03,458
- Well it's not like counting
- truckloads of sand...
- 1418
- 01:35:03,583 --> 01:35:06,833
- But all the same,
- you're producing something, so am I.
- 1419
- 01:35:06,958 --> 01:35:09,458
- OK, different things, but same idea.
- 1420
- 01:35:09,583 --> 01:35:10,875
- I agree.
- 1421
- 01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:13,708
- Because if I don't do my calculations...
- 1422
- 01:35:13,833 --> 01:35:16,750
- Say the sand is on its way...
- 1423
- 01:35:16,875 --> 01:35:21,375
- I can't wait for inspiration
- before I transport it!
- 1424
- 01:35:21,958 --> 01:35:24,750
- True. You're absolutely right.
- 1425
- 01:35:24,875 --> 01:35:26,083
- So there we are.
- 1426
- 01:35:26,625 --> 01:35:27,417
- In fact.
- 1427
- 01:35:28,542 --> 01:35:29,500
- We'll see.
- 1428
- 01:35:29,625 --> 01:35:33,292
- I wrote it, but publishing
- is a whole new business.
- 1429
- 01:35:33,417 --> 01:35:34,500
- You'll manage.
- 1430
- 01:35:34,625 --> 01:35:36,875
- But bring me a copy when it's out.
- 1431
- 01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:39,583
- I'm curious about this
- life culture thing.
- 1432
- 01:35:39,708 --> 01:35:41,875
- Çanakkale is in there, too.
- 1433
- 01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:44,000
- You mean across the water?
- 1434
- 01:35:44,125 --> 01:35:46,208
- No, not the War Cemetery.
- 1435
- 01:35:46,333 --> 01:35:48,417
- To be honest,
- I don't think it's right
- 1436
- 01:35:48,542 --> 01:35:52,333
- to immediately associate Çanakkale
- with Troy or the War Cemetery.
- 1437
- 01:35:52,458 --> 01:35:53,375
- Why not?
- 1438
- 01:35:53,500 --> 01:35:55,208
- This place has its own life culture.
- 1439
- 01:35:55,375 --> 01:35:58,333
- But that's totally eclipsed
- by the cemetery and all that.
- 1440
- 01:35:58,458 --> 01:36:01,583
- But we're world famous for that.
- 1441
- 01:36:01,708 --> 01:36:02,417
- True.
- 1442
- 01:36:02,500 --> 01:36:05,875
- It's the world's
- best-preserved battlefield.
- 1443
- 01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:09,125
- If the world values us for that,
- 1444
- 01:36:09,250 --> 01:36:11,583
- there must be a reason for it.
- 1445
- 01:36:11,708 --> 01:36:13,917
- True, but I see other things.
- 1446
- 01:36:14,042 --> 01:36:16,375
- There's an old man in a fedora,
- 1447
- 01:36:16,500 --> 01:36:20,542
- who sells fruit, sings, drinks wine.
- 1448
- 01:36:20,958 --> 01:36:24,250
- That's the kind of thing
- I write about.
- 1449
- 01:36:24,333 --> 01:36:27,208
- Tourists take photos of him, too.
- 1450
- 01:36:27,333 --> 01:36:28,625
- Hold on!
- 1451
- 01:36:28,750 --> 01:36:32,625
- Are you comparing
- Wino Riza with our war martyrs?
- 1452
- 01:36:32,708 --> 01:36:34,542
- No, of course not.
- 1453
- 01:36:34,667 --> 01:36:35,833
- Hold on a second!
- 1454
- 01:36:36,125 --> 01:36:37,542
- I don't understand.
- 1455
- 01:36:37,667 --> 01:36:38,792
- I didn't say that. I just...
- 1456
- 01:36:38,917 --> 01:36:41,958
- Your "life culture" thing is everywhere.
- 1457
- 01:36:42,083 --> 01:36:45,458
- But is there a battlefield
- as well preserved anywhere?
- 1458
- 01:36:46,500 --> 01:36:48,208
- That's different. I'm not saying...
- 1459
- 01:36:48,333 --> 01:36:50,417
- Why trust tourists?
- 1460
- 01:36:50,583 --> 01:36:53,875
- They snap away
- at everything they see.
- 1461
- 01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:56,000
- If they take photos of the old man,
- 1462
- 01:36:56,125 --> 01:36:57,375
- it's for a laugh.
- 1463
- 01:36:57,708 --> 01:37:00,292
- To be frank
- we're not on the same page here.
- 1464
- 01:37:00,542 --> 01:37:01,708
- If youngsters like you
- 1465
- 01:37:01,833 --> 01:37:05,333
- don't defend
- our martyrs and moral values,
- 1466
- 01:37:05,458 --> 01:37:06,542
- who will?
- 1467
- 01:37:06,667 --> 01:37:08,333
- How did we even get on to this?
- 1468
- 01:37:08,417 --> 01:37:12,125
- You led us here, that's how.
- 1469
- 01:37:12,250 --> 01:37:15,017
- Institutions and NGOs are all competing
- to support the War Cemetery.
- 1470
- 01:37:15,042 --> 01:37:17,083
- Sure they are. It's their job.
- 1471
- 01:37:17,208 --> 01:37:21,917
- They're all using it to get work,
- an identity, even almost an existence.
- 1472
- 01:37:22,042 --> 01:37:23,542
- Don't you see that?
- 1473
- 01:37:23,792 --> 01:37:27,667
- Who'll look after the old man
- who still has to work at 80?
- 1474
- 01:37:27,792 --> 01:37:31,000
- - Isn't that more important?
- - As if he has nobody!
- 1475
- 01:37:31,125 --> 01:37:34,167
- Anyway, he isn't in the book
- because I felt sorry for him.
- 1476
- 01:37:34,292 --> 01:37:36,875
- I'm just searching for life's secrets.
- 1477
- 01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:39,500
- Here is an uncomplaining old man
- 1478
- 01:37:39,625 --> 01:37:42,250
- who seems to know the secret to happiness.
- 1479
- 01:37:42,375 --> 01:37:46,167
- His world might contain
- a secret that could help us all.
- 1480
- 01:37:46,292 --> 01:37:50,208
- There's a ton of identical books on Troy
- and the Memorial already.
- 1481
- 01:37:50,333 --> 01:37:53,750
- If you're that interested,
- get one and read it.
- 1482
- 01:37:56,250 --> 01:38:00,792
- Kadriye, what happened
- with those vehicle contracts?
- 1483
- 01:38:02,542 --> 01:38:03,833
- Send them to me.
- 1484
- 01:38:03,958 --> 01:38:07,083
- They haven't come through?
- OK, remind them.
- 1485
- 01:38:07,208 --> 01:38:08,792
- We need them.
- 1486
- 01:38:19,875 --> 01:38:22,250
- The less you have to lose,
- 1487
- 01:38:22,375 --> 01:38:24,417
- the less responsibility you have,
- 1488
- 01:38:25,375 --> 01:38:26,708
- the happier you'll be.
- 1489
- 01:38:27,125 --> 01:38:30,625
- I don't see any big secret in that.
- 1490
- 01:38:30,750 --> 01:38:33,333
- That's just the way you see it.
- 1491
- 01:38:33,625 --> 01:38:35,417
- Look, young man.
- 1492
- 01:38:35,708 --> 01:38:37,167
- I'm not educated.
- 1493
- 01:38:37,500 --> 01:38:39,042
- I'm a high-school dropout.
- 1494
- 01:38:39,167 --> 01:38:41,833
- But I've never regretted it.
- 1495
- 01:38:41,958 --> 01:38:42,875
- You know why?
- 1496
- 01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:45,000
- Because I trust my feelings.
- 1497
- 01:38:45,167 --> 01:38:47,917
- Feelings and instinct
- have been my guide in life.
- 1498
- 01:38:48,042 --> 01:38:50,958
- I don't remember ever being mistaken.
- 1499
- 01:38:51,083 --> 01:38:53,000
- Good for you.
- 1500
- 01:38:53,125 --> 01:38:54,292
- But...
- 1501
- 01:38:54,375 --> 01:38:57,917
- I look at my friends
- who went to university.
- 1502
- 01:38:58,042 --> 01:39:00,208
- They're all in deep shit today.
- 1503
- 01:39:00,500 --> 01:39:04,375
- Some work for me,
- some work for peanuts elsewhere.
- 1504
- 01:39:04,500 --> 01:39:06,708
- Some got divorced.
- 1505
- 01:39:06,833 --> 01:39:09,000
- One even committed suicide.
- 1506
- 01:39:09,708 --> 01:39:13,042
- Sure, education is great,
- but this is Turkey.
- 1507
- 01:39:13,208 --> 01:39:15,625
- If you want to survive in this country,
- 1508
- 01:39:15,750 --> 01:39:17,875
- you need to adapt.
- 1509
- 01:39:18,292 --> 01:39:19,833
- OK, you learn stuff at school,
- 1510
- 01:39:19,958 --> 01:39:22,208
- but the street is different.
- 1511
- 01:39:22,333 --> 01:39:23,625
- It's always moving forward.
- 1512
- 01:39:23,750 --> 01:39:26,458
- What you learn today
- will be useless by tomorrow.
- 1513
- 01:39:26,792 --> 01:39:30,708
- That's why
- the reality punches them in the face.
- 1514
- 01:39:30,833 --> 01:39:31,958
- They can't adjust.
- 1515
- 01:39:32,083 --> 01:39:35,583
- They're standoffish with normal people.
- They look down on them.
- 1516
- 01:39:35,792 --> 01:39:37,750
- The market is ruthless.
- 1517
- 01:39:37,875 --> 01:39:39,667
- It takes pity on no one.
- 1518
- 01:39:40,542 --> 01:39:42,458
- So where are they now?
- 1519
- 01:39:42,583 --> 01:39:44,750
- Disappeared, gone forever.
- 1520
- 01:39:44,875 --> 01:39:47,375
- But I'm still here!
- 1521
- 01:39:48,417 --> 01:39:50,292
- Nothing has come to me ready-made.
- 1522
- 01:39:50,417 --> 01:39:52,625
- Everything I got,
- 1523
- 01:39:52,708 --> 01:39:55,167
- I got with my own blood, sweat and tears.
- 1524
- 01:40:00,250 --> 01:40:04,625
- So I should work, save
- and publish the book myself?
- 1525
- 01:40:05,208 --> 01:40:08,167
- Of course I'm not saying that.
- 1526
- 01:40:08,958 --> 01:40:12,292
- But now I think about it,
- that's not a bad idea actually.
- 1527
- 01:40:12,458 --> 01:40:16,167
- If I'm here, it's because I heard
- you support projects like this.
- 1528
- 01:40:16,292 --> 01:40:19,375
- I didn't just turn up on a whim.
- 1529
- 01:40:19,500 --> 01:40:22,833
- Then why did you support them?
- 1530
- 01:40:23,292 --> 01:40:24,375
- When you say “them�
- 1531
- 01:40:24,500 --> 01:40:26,417
- All these projects.
- 1532
- 01:40:26,542 --> 01:40:28,625
- Your logo is on a ton of posters.
- 1533
- 01:40:28,750 --> 01:40:32,083
- The council used to buy a lot of sand.
- That's why I was generous.
- 1534
- 01:40:32,208 --> 01:40:33,417
- We had an agreement.
- 1535
- 01:40:33,792 --> 01:40:35,000
- A vested interest then.
- 1536
- 01:40:35,083 --> 01:40:36,625
- What are you talking about?
- 1537
- 01:40:36,750 --> 01:40:40,375
- You have to do these things.
- We're in the sand business.
- 1538
- 01:40:40,500 --> 01:40:42,042
- We do what we have to do.
- 1539
- 01:40:42,167 --> 01:40:45,833
- You're good to good customers.
- What's not to get about that?
- 1540
- 01:40:58,958 --> 01:41:00,500
- So, Ekrem,
- 1541
- 01:41:00,625 --> 01:41:02,250
- you started betting too?
- 1542
- 01:41:02,375 --> 01:41:04,125
- No, I'm just looking.
- 1543
- 01:41:04,417 --> 01:41:07,708
- I don't have the fucking money anyway.
- 1544
- 01:41:07,833 --> 01:41:08,833
- Right.
- 1545
- 01:41:08,958 --> 01:41:11,083
- - Kamil! Two teas!
- - Coming up!
- 1546
- 01:41:11,208 --> 01:41:11,917
- So?
- 1547
- 01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:13,333
- So, how's it going?
- 1548
- 01:41:13,458 --> 01:41:14,917
- Not bad. You?
- 1549
- 01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:16,750
- Same as always.
- 1550
- 01:41:16,875 --> 01:41:18,625
- I hear you hang out with my dad?
- 1551
- 01:41:18,750 --> 01:41:20,500
- I run into him sometimes.
- 1552
- 01:41:21,250 --> 01:41:23,000
- Where do you guys go?
- 1553
- 01:41:23,125 --> 01:41:24,583
- Where can you go here?
- 1554
- 01:41:24,708 --> 01:41:27,667
- To one fucking tea-house or another.
- 1555
- 01:41:28,542 --> 01:41:30,167
- What the fuck is this?
- 1556
- 01:41:31,417 --> 01:41:33,042
- Hang out with guys your own age.
- 1557
- 01:41:33,167 --> 01:41:34,625
- What's your problem?
- 1558
- 01:41:36,125 --> 01:41:37,458
- What did you say?
- 1559
- 01:41:37,583 --> 01:41:39,750
- You're like two tribes
- against one fucking elephant.
- 1560
- 01:41:39,875 --> 01:41:41,625
- Can't you find anyone else?
- 1561
- 01:41:41,750 --> 01:41:44,250
- Don't give me this shit!
- 1562
- 01:41:44,375 --> 01:41:48,333
- We've been busting our asses for years
- to get the man to quit.
- 1563
- 01:41:49,458 --> 01:41:51,250
- Stick to your own age group!
- 1564
- 01:41:51,375 --> 01:41:53,125
- Go fuck yourself!
- 1565
- 01:41:53,833 --> 01:41:55,875
- What's wrong if I ran into him twice?
- 1566
- 01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:58,208
- Fuck off and talk to your dad
- if you have a problem.
- 1567
- 01:42:14,583 --> 01:42:19,958
- Half of newly qualified teachers
- have been posted o the East...
- 1568
- 01:42:20,083 --> 01:42:22,542
- I'd been waiting for two years.
- 1569
- 01:42:22,667 --> 01:42:25,292
- I'd happily go anywhere
- in my country.
- 1570
- 01:42:25,417 --> 01:42:28,250
- I'm crying for joy,
- not because of the East.
- 1571
- 01:43:40,792 --> 01:43:42,875
- Ah! When did you get here?
- 1572
- 01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:44,042
- An hour ago.
- 1573
- 01:43:44,167 --> 01:43:47,167
- I got a ride with the barber
- since you took the car.
- 1574
- 01:43:48,042 --> 01:43:50,000
- - Are they home?
- - Yes.
- 1575
- 01:43:50,958 --> 01:43:52,833
- The door here was off its hinges,
- 1576
- 01:43:52,958 --> 01:43:54,750
- so I thought I'd fix it.
- 1577
- 01:43:55,250 --> 01:43:56,167
- OK.
- 1578
- 01:43:56,292 --> 01:43:57,417
- Sinan!
- 1579
- 01:43:58,708 --> 01:44:02,042
- Hold this and let's put it back.
- 1580
- 01:44:12,458 --> 01:44:13,458
- Just a second.
- 1581
- 01:44:14,083 --> 01:44:15,625
- Easy there.
- 1582
- 01:44:15,750 --> 01:44:18,333
- Do the top first.
- 1583
- 01:44:19,917 --> 01:44:20,875
- There we go.
- 1584
- 01:44:27,333 --> 01:44:29,667
- Let's go up there sometime.
- 1585
- 01:44:29,917 --> 01:44:31,500
- I found another boulder.
- 1586
- 01:44:31,625 --> 01:44:32,917
- I've dug around it.
- 1587
- 01:44:33,083 --> 01:44:35,875
- It'll take an hour at most.
- It's not a big job.
- 1588
- 01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:37,542
- What boulder?
- 1589
- 01:44:38,667 --> 01:44:40,750
- Did I come back for that?
- 1590
- 01:44:40,875 --> 01:44:42,625
- No need to yell.
- 1591
- 01:44:43,833 --> 01:44:45,208
- Are you in a hurry?
- 1592
- 01:44:45,333 --> 01:44:47,000
- You never stop.
- 1593
- 01:44:47,833 --> 01:44:51,083
- I'm not about to be part of your show
- to win favour here.
- 1594
- 01:44:53,917 --> 01:44:55,792
- I don't follow. What show?
- 1595
- 01:44:55,917 --> 01:44:57,875
- Whose favour do I want?
- 1596
- 01:44:58,833 --> 01:45:01,333
- Why ask when you know the answer?
- 1597
- 01:45:02,833 --> 01:45:06,667
- Is fixing a door going to win back
- the respect you've lost?
- 1598
- 01:45:07,208 --> 01:45:10,292
- It's not the door that needs fixing.
- 1599
- 01:45:11,750 --> 01:45:12,542
- So what is it?
- 1600
- 01:45:13,375 --> 01:45:14,542
- I don't know.
- 1601
- 01:45:16,667 --> 01:45:18,708
- Whatever you lack.
- 1602
- 01:45:19,583 --> 01:45:21,667
- What does that mean?
- 1603
- 01:45:23,292 --> 01:45:26,042
- Can't this kind of thing be done
- just as a favour?
- 1604
- 01:45:26,542 --> 01:45:28,542
- Someone has to fix the door.
- 1605
- 01:45:29,042 --> 01:45:32,125
- So can't it be fixed purely as a favour?
- 1606
- 01:45:32,250 --> 01:45:35,042
- If you and I don't do it,
- who will?
- 1607
- 01:45:35,167 --> 01:45:36,833
- You're doing it purely as a favour?
- 1608
- 01:45:36,958 --> 01:45:37,708
- Yes.
- 1609
- 01:45:37,833 --> 01:45:40,250
- You don't think I can?
- 1610
- 01:45:40,375 --> 01:45:41,917
- What's your idea of a favour?
- 1611
- 01:45:42,042 --> 01:45:43,167
- Tell me.
- 1612
- 01:45:43,833 --> 01:45:45,458
- C'mon, let's talk about that.
- 1613
- 01:45:48,417 --> 01:45:49,417
- Sit still!
- 1614
- 01:45:49,542 --> 01:45:51,958
- Why did you agree?
- 1615
- 01:45:52,083 --> 01:45:53,958
- Has your brain stopped?
- 1616
- 01:45:54,458 --> 01:45:55,833
- Cat got your tongue?
- 1617
- 01:45:55,958 --> 01:45:57,042
- Stop pulling!
- 1618
- 01:45:57,167 --> 01:45:58,125
- Wait!
- 1619
- 01:45:58,250 --> 01:46:01,250
- You can't do that by yourself.
- Raise your arms.
- 1620
- 01:46:01,375 --> 01:46:02,875
- What's up, Gran?
- 1621
- 01:46:05,542 --> 01:46:06,958
- Everyone wants something.
- 1622
- 01:46:07,083 --> 01:46:10,500
- They never think
- he might be too old for it.
- 1623
- 01:46:10,625 --> 01:46:12,750
- Who's too old for what?
- 1624
- 01:46:12,875 --> 01:46:17,875
- Imam Veysel! He wants your grandpa
- to sing the azan again today.
- 1625
- 01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:19,000
- So?
- 1626
- 01:46:19,125 --> 01:46:21,167
- He's too old for it, love.
- 1627
- 01:46:21,250 --> 01:46:23,625
- I worry he'll get muddled.
- 1628
- 01:46:23,750 --> 01:46:25,583
- If he gets muddled,
- 1629
- 01:46:25,875 --> 01:46:28,167
- we'll be a laughing stock!
- 1630
- 01:46:29,333 --> 01:46:31,292
- Where's the imam going?
- 1631
- 01:46:31,958 --> 01:46:35,208
- How do I know?
- To a wedding, a funeral.
- 1632
- 01:46:35,917 --> 01:46:38,125
- I'm sick of these young imams!
- 1633
- 01:46:38,250 --> 01:46:39,917
- They're all the same.
- 1634
- 01:46:40,542 --> 01:46:43,125
- Then Grandpa could refuse to do it.
- 1635
- 01:46:43,917 --> 01:46:45,583
- Why did he agree?
- 1636
- 01:46:45,708 --> 01:46:47,958
- He's a soft touch.
- 1637
- 01:46:48,333 --> 01:46:51,417
- He borrowed two gold coins
- and won't even give them back.
- 1638
- 01:46:51,542 --> 01:46:53,542
- - Imam Veysel?
- - Yes.
- 1639
- 01:46:54,875 --> 01:46:56,542
- That's outrageous!
- 1640
- 01:46:56,958 --> 01:47:00,750
- I doubt we'll see that gold again.
- He won't ask for it back.
- 1641
- 01:47:01,167 --> 01:47:02,333
- Grandpa!
- 1642
- 01:47:02,792 --> 01:47:03,917
- Yes?
- 1643
- 01:47:04,042 --> 01:47:06,458
- Did Veysel really
- not give back the gold?
- 1644
- 01:47:06,583 --> 01:47:07,958
- What did you say?
- 1645
- 01:47:08,417 --> 01:47:10,792
- Veysel didn't give back the gold?
- 1646
- 01:47:10,917 --> 01:47:14,125
- No. He takes and takes
- and never gives back.
- 1647
- 01:47:14,625 --> 01:47:16,833
- It defies belief.
- 1648
- 01:47:17,750 --> 01:47:20,917
- In all my years as an imam,
- and she's my witness...
- 1649
- 01:47:21,042 --> 01:47:23,750
- I just worry he'll fluff the azan.
- 1650
- 01:47:23,917 --> 01:47:26,667
- God forbid!
- 1651
- 01:47:26,792 --> 01:47:28,667
- The villagers will have a field day.
- 1652
- 01:47:28,792 --> 01:47:31,042
- They're always after gossip anyway.
- 1653
- 01:47:32,333 --> 01:47:34,167
- Look at these trousers.
- 1654
- 01:47:34,333 --> 01:47:36,167
- Are they too big?
- 1655
- 01:47:36,708 --> 01:47:39,917
- No. They aren't meant to hug you.
- 1656
- 01:47:40,042 --> 01:47:41,708
- And his only worry is his trousers!
- 1657
- 01:47:41,833 --> 01:47:43,375
- Give me that belt.
- 1658
- 01:47:43,500 --> 01:47:46,042
- Low-rise is trendy now, Grandpa.
- 1659
- 01:52:50,583 --> 01:52:52,125
- Well, I'll be damned.
- 1660
- 01:52:53,000 --> 01:52:55,000
- I must have dozed off.
- 1661
- 01:52:55,417 --> 01:52:56,458
- When did you get here?
- 1662
- 01:52:56,583 --> 01:52:58,625
- What's with sleeping in the sun?
- 1663
- 01:52:58,750 --> 01:53:00,083
- I was worried.
- 1664
- 01:53:00,208 --> 01:53:02,500
- It was shade when I lay down.
- 1665
- 01:53:02,625 --> 01:53:06,292
- Look at you, covered in ants.
- How can you sleep like that?
- 1666
- 01:53:06,417 --> 01:53:09,417
- They know me. They don't sting.
- 1667
- 01:53:10,417 --> 01:53:12,000
- With the door and the well,
- 1668
- 01:53:12,292 --> 01:53:14,250
- I must've worn myself out.
- 1669
- 01:53:14,375 --> 01:53:16,742
- So you weren't running away
- the praying time at the mosque?
- 1670
- 01:53:16,875 --> 01:53:19,250
- Well, there's that, too.
- 1671
- 01:53:19,750 --> 01:53:21,625
- But the boulder was the main thing.
- 1672
- 01:53:22,042 --> 01:53:23,542
- I dug it out.
- 1673
- 01:53:23,667 --> 01:53:27,083
- So we just need to haul it out now.
- 1674
- 01:53:29,750 --> 01:53:31,792
- I'm going back to Can. Coming?
- 1675
- 01:53:32,250 --> 01:53:33,958
- Not until that boulder's out.
- 1676
- 01:53:34,667 --> 01:53:37,875
- If it rains midweek,
- we're in trouble.
- 1677
- 01:53:39,083 --> 01:53:40,000
- OK, then.
- 1678
- 01:53:40,500 --> 01:53:41,833
- I'm off.
- 1679
- 01:53:45,333 --> 01:53:46,167
- What?
- 1680
- 01:53:47,208 --> 01:53:48,375
- Why are you laughing?
- 1681
- 01:53:50,125 --> 01:53:52,375
- You didn't offer me a ride this morning.
- 1682
- 01:53:52,500 --> 01:53:54,042
- So why now?
- 1683
- 01:53:54,167 --> 01:53:56,583
- I thought you wouldn't come
- this morning.
- 1684
- 01:53:57,292 --> 01:54:00,458
- Why not?
- Don't I come here every weekend?
- 1685
- 01:54:04,542 --> 01:54:06,958
- I thought you might want
- to go somewhere else today.
- 1686
- 01:54:07,125 --> 01:54:09,625
- Somewhere else? Where?
- 1687
- 01:54:09,792 --> 01:54:11,375
- How do I know?
- 1688
- 01:54:12,167 --> 01:54:14,333
- There must be places you miss.
- 1689
- 01:54:15,542 --> 01:54:18,708
- What does that mean?
- What are you trying to say?
- 1690
- 01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:25,042
- I'm not trying to say anything.
- 1691
- 01:54:26,083 --> 01:54:27,208
- Anyway, I'm going.
- 1692
- 01:54:27,292 --> 01:54:29,500
- OK, fine. Off you go.
- 1693
- 01:54:30,875 --> 01:54:32,625
- Let me pay his wage
- 1694
- 01:54:32,875 --> 01:54:34,958
- and get Mad Ahmet up here.
- 1695
- 01:54:35,083 --> 01:54:38,083
- Then I'll get a taxi back to Can.
- 1696
- 01:54:45,542 --> 01:54:49,167
- Look how I'm splashing out.
- With what money?
- 1697
- 01:54:49,833 --> 01:54:51,625
- I didn't have a cent yesterday.
- 1698
- 01:54:51,750 --> 01:54:54,208
- And your mum has my bank card.
- 1699
- 01:54:55,000 --> 01:54:57,708
- Where did all this money
- suddenly come from?
- 1700
- 01:54:58,208 --> 01:54:59,625
- Suspicious, isn't it?
- 1701
- 01:54:59,750 --> 01:55:01,750
- What are you talking about?
- 1702
- 01:55:01,875 --> 01:55:03,125
- Seriously.
- 1703
- 01:55:03,833 --> 01:55:06,000
- What kind of generosity is that now?
- 1704
- 01:55:06,458 --> 01:55:07,500
- Huh?
- 1705
- 01:55:08,792 --> 01:55:11,667
- And just when 300 lira
- evaporated into thin air.
- 1706
- 01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:16,083
- - How do you know it was 300?
- - Exactly! I wonder how I know?
- 1707
- 01:55:17,292 --> 01:55:19,125
- How do you think I know?
- 1708
- 01:55:19,250 --> 01:55:19,958
- Yes, how?
- 1709
- 01:55:20,083 --> 01:55:23,042
- Maybe I know more about it
- than you.
- 1710
- 01:55:24,333 --> 01:55:25,708
- Think about it.
- 1711
- 01:55:25,833 --> 01:55:27,625
- How might I know?
- 1712
- 01:55:29,167 --> 01:55:30,333
- I may have told you.
- 1713
- 01:55:30,458 --> 01:55:31,708
- Bravo!
- 1714
- 01:55:32,250 --> 01:55:35,667
- You thought you'd cracked it there,
- but no such luck.
- 1715
- 01:55:35,875 --> 01:55:38,625
- You need more evidence, Columbo!
- 1716
- 01:55:38,750 --> 01:55:40,250
- Don't talk crap.
- 1717
- 01:55:40,375 --> 01:55:42,375
- Follow your lead.
- 1718
- 01:55:42,500 --> 01:55:44,208
- Use some logic.
- 1719
- 01:55:44,333 --> 01:55:47,125
- If it was the workman,
- he'd have taken the lot.
- 1720
- 01:55:47,250 --> 01:55:49,042
- Why would he only take 300?
- 1721
- 01:55:49,625 --> 01:55:51,375
- - Right?
- - So?
- 1722
- 01:55:55,125 --> 01:55:57,833
- So maybe it's screamingly obvious.
- 1723
- 01:55:58,042 --> 01:55:59,625
- Why do you keep agonizing?
- 1724
- 01:56:02,125 --> 01:56:05,250
- Look, if it wasn't the workman,
- who else could it be?
- 1725
- 01:56:07,208 --> 01:56:08,417
- Do you still not get it?
- 1726
- 01:56:08,500 --> 01:56:09,333
- Get what?
- 1727
- 01:56:09,417 --> 01:56:11,583
- - You're all ears.
- - No, I'm not.
- 1728
- 01:56:13,917 --> 01:56:17,583
- OK, you're either messing around or...
- 1729
- 01:56:17,708 --> 01:56:19,125
- Yes, or?
- 1730
- 01:56:19,500 --> 01:56:20,292
- Or what?
- 1731
- 01:56:20,417 --> 01:56:21,667
- C'mon, out with it.
- 1732
- 01:56:22,875 --> 01:56:24,042
- Or what?
- 1733
- 01:56:26,708 --> 01:56:27,583
- Say it.
- 1734
- 01:56:28,750 --> 01:56:30,083
- Or else what?
- 1735
- 01:56:32,833 --> 01:56:34,250
- Or else nothing.
- 1736
- 01:56:36,750 --> 01:56:38,000
- Anyway, I'm going.
- 1737
- 01:56:38,125 --> 01:56:39,708
- C'mon, or what?
- 1738
- 01:56:39,833 --> 01:56:42,625
- You were doing fine until "or what"?
- What happened?
- 1739
- 01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:44,833
- C'mon, or what?
- 1740
- 01:56:44,958 --> 01:56:47,583
- Columbo, I'm talking to you.
- Columbo!
- 1741
- 01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:50,167
- Columbo!
- 1742
- 01:57:02,292 --> 01:57:04,167
- He earns good money
- 1743
- 01:57:05,208 --> 01:57:07,167
- but he won't live there.
- 1744
- 01:57:12,833 --> 01:57:14,750
- He says that over there
- 1745
- 01:57:14,875 --> 01:57:17,625
- immorality is rampant.
- 1746
- 01:57:17,792 --> 01:57:21,292
- I met him at the mufti's.
- 1747
- 01:57:22,125 --> 01:57:25,042
- He works in Germany
- and gets paid over there,
- 1748
- 01:57:25,167 --> 01:57:28,250
- as well as being paid here.
- 1749
- 01:57:28,958 --> 01:57:31,917
- It wasn't a problem before,
- 1750
- 01:57:32,125 --> 01:57:36,250
- but it's begun to bother me now.
- 1751
- 01:57:37,375 --> 01:57:39,583
- At that age, it's worrying.
- 1752
- 01:57:41,375 --> 01:57:43,417
- You have to be reasonable.
- 1753
- 01:57:43,542 --> 01:57:45,000
- True.
- 1754
- 01:57:57,583 --> 01:57:59,292
- Kids never get tired of playing.
- 1755
- 01:58:04,625 --> 01:58:06,583
- What's happening, Nazmi?
- 1756
- 01:58:11,583 --> 01:58:13,125
- It looks like earth.
- 1757
- 01:58:13,750 --> 01:58:15,375
- Kids I guess.
- 1758
- 01:58:21,292 --> 01:58:24,292
- Do you want
- to get us banished from Earth, too?
- 1759
- 01:58:24,417 --> 01:58:25,917
- Hey, Sinan!
- 1760
- 01:58:26,542 --> 01:58:27,792
- Was it you?
- 1761
- 01:58:27,917 --> 01:58:31,542
- Even you, Imam Veysel,
- chasing after the forbidden fruit?
- 1762
- 01:58:31,667 --> 01:58:32,750
- It's a sin!
- 1763
- 01:58:32,875 --> 01:58:34,083
- Rubbish!
- 1764
- 01:58:34,917 --> 01:58:36,583
- Don't let the devil tempt you
- 1765
- 01:58:36,708 --> 01:58:38,292
- now that you're up there.
- 1766
- 01:58:38,542 --> 01:58:41,458
- I got Nazmi a cable
- for his minaret.
- 1767
- 01:58:41,583 --> 01:58:43,958
- On our way, we saw this tree...
- 1768
- 01:58:44,958 --> 01:58:47,167
- And the apples tempted you?
- 1769
- 01:58:47,292 --> 01:58:51,000
- Well, they're hard to resist.
- Here. Try a bite.
- 1770
- 01:58:53,375 --> 01:58:55,000
- You're right.
- 1771
- 01:58:55,125 --> 01:58:57,250
- You gave us a fright, Sinan.
- 1772
- 01:58:57,375 --> 01:59:01,333
- Nazmi, push that tin closer.
- 1773
- 01:59:05,750 --> 01:59:06,958
- Nazmi...
- 1774
- 01:59:07,083 --> 01:59:09,417
- Sinan is our retired imam's grandson.
- 1775
- 01:59:09,625 --> 01:59:12,208
- He sang the noon azan today.
- 1776
- 01:59:12,333 --> 01:59:13,583
- Really? Great.
- 1777
- 01:59:13,708 --> 01:59:15,417
- I call him my deputy.
- 1778
- 01:59:16,833 --> 01:59:20,042
- Nazmi is the new imam
- of Sofular Village
- 1779
- 01:59:20,167 --> 01:59:21,750
- and my friend from imam school.
- 1780
- 01:59:21,875 --> 01:59:23,083
- Really? Hello.
- 1781
- 01:59:23,208 --> 01:59:23,917
- Hello.
- 1782
- 01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:25,708
- So what are you up to?
- 1783
- 01:59:26,083 --> 01:59:27,667
- Struggling.
- 1784
- 01:59:27,792 --> 01:59:30,708
- College is done.
- Now it's exams and jobs.
- 1785
- 01:59:31,042 --> 01:59:32,542
- I hear you're up here a lot.
- 1786
- 01:59:32,625 --> 01:59:35,958
- I guess.
- Whenever I get the chance.
- 1787
- 01:59:36,083 --> 01:59:38,083
- I'm lucky to see you, imam.
- 1788
- 01:59:38,208 --> 01:59:40,875
- You were away again today.
- A wedding, was it?
- 1789
- 01:59:41,000 --> 01:59:42,000
- Well...
- 1790
- 01:59:42,625 --> 01:59:45,875
- People send invitations.
- It's hard to say no.
- 1791
- 01:59:46,375 --> 01:59:50,458
- The mufti's wife or whoever
- sent an invitation all the way here.
- 1792
- 01:59:50,583 --> 01:59:52,542
- What can you do?
- I don't even know him.
- 1793
- 01:59:52,667 --> 01:59:54,458
- Go, of course.
- 1794
- 01:59:54,583 --> 01:59:57,583
- But don't keep offloading
- the azan on my granddad.
- 1795
- 01:59:57,917 --> 02:00:01,250
- They're worried he'll get muddled.
- The man's 80 and deaf.
- 1796
- 02:00:01,375 --> 02:00:02,875
- He won't get muddled.
- 1797
- 02:00:03,000 --> 02:00:04,375
- And so what if he does?
- 1798
- 02:00:04,500 --> 02:00:07,500
- A devout man like him
- can be sure of God's mercy.
- 1799
- 02:00:07,625 --> 02:00:12,583
- What do villagers care about God's mercy?
- He'd be a laughing stock.
- 1800
- 02:00:12,708 --> 02:00:15,750
- Don't worry.
- Your granddad’s strong as an ox.
- 1801
- 02:00:16,250 --> 02:00:19,083
- He helps me a lot, God bless him.
- 1802
- 02:00:19,417 --> 02:00:23,042
- - You mean he's your stand-in?
- - Exactly. My apprentice!
- 1803
- 02:00:24,375 --> 02:00:26,583
- Good for the old war horse.
- 1804
- 02:00:26,708 --> 02:00:28,375
- Your back is covered in dirt.
- 1805
- 02:00:34,292 --> 02:00:36,208
- Where were you today?
- 1806
- 02:00:36,333 --> 02:00:37,625
- Karadoru Village.
- 1807
- 02:00:38,167 --> 02:00:41,250
- Do they always take gold there too?
- 1808
- 02:00:41,375 --> 02:00:42,333
- Sure!
- 1809
- 02:00:42,458 --> 02:00:45,000
- I thought as a migrant village
- it might be different.
- 1810
- 02:00:45,125 --> 02:00:48,667
- No, just the same.
- The place was awash with quarter golds.
- 1811
- 02:00:49,167 --> 02:00:51,500
- But there's something I don't get,
- Imam Nazmi.
- 1812
- 02:00:53,750 --> 02:00:56,625
- I don't know if it's just me, but...
- 1813
- 02:00:56,875 --> 02:01:00,542
- Are these people not ashamed
- of being so greedy?
- 1814
- 02:01:00,667 --> 02:01:02,375
- - Am I wrong?
- - Frankly...
- 1815
- 02:01:02,500 --> 02:01:05,333
- I'm not really sure
- what you're talking about.
- 1816
- 02:01:05,458 --> 02:01:07,042
- The gold thing.
- 1817
- 02:01:07,167 --> 02:01:09,500
- A guy has a son, give him gold.
- 1818
- 02:01:09,625 --> 02:01:11,292
- His circumcision, more gold.
- 1819
- 02:01:11,417 --> 02:01:13,833
- He marries, divorces, gold, gold, gold.
- 1820
- 02:01:13,958 --> 02:01:15,458
- What's that all about?
- 1821
- 02:01:15,542 --> 02:01:18,167
- Misery and hardship, Sinan.
- What else?
- 1822
- 02:01:18,750 --> 02:01:20,875
- It's different where I come from.
- 1823
- 02:01:21,000 --> 02:01:23,000
- But don't let it upset you.
- 1824
- 02:01:23,125 --> 02:01:27,708
- But why would you invite
- a total stranger to a celebration?
- 1825
- 02:01:27,833 --> 02:01:30,583
- Isn't that openly asking for money.
- 1826
- 02:01:31,000 --> 02:01:33,417
- Some people won't pay off their debts,
- 1827
- 02:01:33,542 --> 02:01:37,542
- but they would never dream
- of not bringing gold to celebrations.
- 1828
- 02:01:37,667 --> 02:01:39,333
- I'm afraid you're right.
- 1829
- 02:01:39,458 --> 02:01:41,833
- - As Abu Zarr says...
- - Who?
- 1830
- 02:01:41,958 --> 02:01:45,500
- Abu Zarr,
- a companion of the Prophet.
- 1831
- 02:01:45,625 --> 02:01:47,042
- One of his favourites.
- 1832
- 02:01:47,167 --> 02:01:48,833
- The one banished to the desert?
- 1833
- 02:01:50,083 --> 02:01:51,458
- Bravo! You know him?
- 1834
- 02:01:51,542 --> 02:01:55,083
- - Am I supposed not to?
- - No, of course not!
- 1835
- 02:01:55,208 --> 02:01:58,333
- But not everyone knows him.
- 1836
- 02:01:58,458 --> 02:02:03,000
- Not even most imams. Why?
- They know the more popular companions.
- 1837
- 02:02:03,125 --> 02:02:05,625
- What are you talking about?
- 1838
- 02:02:05,750 --> 02:02:07,958
- What's popularity got to do with it?
- 1839
- 02:02:08,083 --> 02:02:10,208
- These are the Prophet's companions!
- 1840
- 02:02:10,333 --> 02:02:13,958
- But why do we always quote
- the most well-known?
- 1841
- 02:02:14,083 --> 02:02:16,458
- Aren't there other important scholars
- out there?
- 1842
- 02:02:16,875 --> 02:02:18,083
- Nazmi!
- 1843
- 02:02:18,208 --> 02:02:21,625
- Sometimes, when the spark is gone,
- 1844
- 02:02:21,750 --> 02:02:25,167
- people try to resurrect
- secondary figures.
- 1845
- 02:02:25,292 --> 02:02:26,958
- That's what you're doing.
- 1846
- 02:02:27,083 --> 02:02:30,792
- The most important characters
- are the most quoted.
- 1847
- 02:02:30,917 --> 02:02:32,458
- It's only natural.
- 1848
- 02:02:32,583 --> 02:02:33,958
- Don't make it
- 1849
- 02:02:34,083 --> 02:02:36,000
- an issue about recognition.
- 1850
- 02:02:36,125 --> 02:02:40,500
- I'm not saying we should
- favour lesser-known people,
- 1851
- 02:02:40,625 --> 02:02:44,500
- but simply look at
- what they said and thought.
- 1852
- 02:02:44,625 --> 02:02:46,958
- OK, I see your point, but...
- 1853
- 02:02:47,208 --> 02:02:49,125
- You're a village imam now,
- 1854
- 02:02:49,250 --> 02:02:52,292
- not a student representative.
- 1855
- 02:02:52,542 --> 02:02:54,750
- You need to sort your ideas.
- 1856
- 02:02:54,875 --> 02:02:57,625
- The Muslim situation
- speaks for itself.
- 1857
- 02:02:58,125 --> 02:03:01,458
- The world has changed
- and left us behind.
- 1858
- 02:03:01,583 --> 02:03:05,542
- The world hasn't changed
- nor have we been left behind.
- 1859
- 02:03:06,250 --> 02:03:09,417
- If you start reforming religion,
- you open the door
- 1860
- 02:03:09,542 --> 02:03:11,792
- to every human fantasy.
- 1861
- 02:03:11,917 --> 02:03:16,125
- What you're saying is
- the Koran is incapable
- 1862
- 02:03:16,250 --> 02:03:17,625
- of interpreting today's world.
- 1863
- 02:03:17,750 --> 02:03:19,292
- Which is preposterous!
- 1864
- 02:03:19,417 --> 02:03:22,708
- Some of your observations
- seem valid,
- 1865
- 02:03:22,833 --> 02:03:25,042
- but your premise seems to be
- 1866
- 02:03:25,167 --> 02:03:28,958
- to resist change on principle.
- 1867
- 02:03:29,292 --> 02:03:33,792
- Then you want change
- for the sake of change.
- 1868
- 02:03:33,917 --> 02:03:37,750
- But it isn't right to wear blinkers!
- 1869
- 02:03:37,833 --> 02:03:40,792
- God forbid,
- I'm not talking about anything else,
- 1870
- 02:03:40,917 --> 02:03:43,875
- but how does the Almighty
- address us in the Koran?
- 1871
- 02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:47,375
- As "people of understanding".
- He asks, "don't you think?"
- 1872
- 02:03:47,500 --> 02:03:51,792
- You can look for anything in the Koran.
- That's another story.
- 1873
- 02:03:51,917 --> 02:03:54,625
- The Koran is miraculous.
- 1874
- 02:03:54,750 --> 02:03:56,583
- Let's not go there, Nazmi.
- 1875
- 02:03:56,750 --> 02:04:01,458
- Plus, trawling the Koran
- for arguments to have the last word
- 1876
- 02:04:01,583 --> 02:04:04,167
- is not very dignified.
- 1877
- 02:04:04,292 --> 02:04:06,083
- I'm not trawling for arguments.
- 1878
- 02:04:06,208 --> 02:04:08,458
- Imagine an architect doing a building.
- 1879
- 02:04:08,583 --> 02:04:10,375
- His work is detailed.
- 1880
- 02:04:10,500 --> 02:04:14,375
- He gives the foreman a plan but
- doesn't tell him how to lay the bricks.
- 1881
- 02:04:14,500 --> 02:04:17,417
- So the builders use their initiative
- 1882
- 02:04:17,583 --> 02:04:21,333
- and add their own interpretation
- to the building.
- 1883
- 02:04:21,458 --> 02:04:23,667
- OK, but what does the Koran say?
- 1884
- 02:04:23,833 --> 02:04:27,083
- Yes, "People of understandingâ€Â,
- but also "dust".
- 1885
- 02:04:27,500 --> 02:04:31,375
- Remember the verse in the Holy Koran.
- 1886
- 02:04:31,792 --> 02:04:34,958
- "We shall regard their deeds
- and scatter them like dust."
- 1887
- 02:04:35,167 --> 02:04:36,667
- It talks about dust!
- 1888
- 02:04:36,792 --> 02:04:38,417
- We humans are not much.
- 1889
- 02:04:38,542 --> 02:04:40,875
- What are we, in fact?
- 1890
- 02:04:41,000 --> 02:04:44,000
- We're guided by the Holy Book,
- the Prophet's deeds and sayings,
- 1891
- 02:04:44,125 --> 02:04:47,583
- community consensus and analogy.
- Why look for alternatives?
- 1892
- 02:04:47,708 --> 02:04:50,208
- We all stick to those guidelines.
- 1893
- 02:04:50,292 --> 02:04:53,083
- If everyone made
- their own prescription,
- 1894
- 02:04:53,208 --> 02:04:57,792
- there'd be as many religions in the world
- as there are people.
- 1895
- 02:04:57,958 --> 02:04:58,750
- You see.
- 1896
- 02:04:58,875 --> 02:05:01,125
- But our prescription is signed.
- 1897
- 02:05:01,250 --> 02:05:05,250
- Signed by a doctor.
- 1898
- 02:05:05,500 --> 02:05:09,042
- We go to the pharmacy
- and ask for a specific medicine.
- 1899
- 02:05:09,167 --> 02:05:11,708
- If they don't have it
- they offer an equivalent,
- 1900
- 02:05:11,833 --> 02:05:14,000
- with the same active ingredient.
- 1901
- 02:05:14,125 --> 02:05:15,958
- There's no end to this discussion.
- 1902
- 02:05:16,250 --> 02:05:18,125
- It's all down to people.
- 1903
- 02:05:19,125 --> 02:05:23,833
- Speaking for myself,
- the point I keep coming back to
- 1904
- 02:05:23,958 --> 02:05:26,500
- is the peaceful shade
- of unquestioning submission.
- 1905
- 02:05:27,042 --> 02:05:30,458
- If you want to believe, you believe.
- But if you think
- 1906
- 02:05:30,583 --> 02:05:32,833
- you can pierce the mystery
- 1907
- 02:05:32,958 --> 02:05:37,500
- and penetrate God's great wisdom
- with your limited insight,
- 1908
- 02:05:37,625 --> 02:05:39,625
- that madness is your choice,
- 1909
- 02:05:39,708 --> 02:05:42,708
- but it's definitely not for me.
- 1910
- 02:05:59,875 --> 02:06:01,917
- - You're here?
- - All done?
- 1911
- 02:06:02,042 --> 02:06:05,583
- Almost, but I'd like to check my sheep
- before I'm done.
- 1912
- 02:06:05,708 --> 02:06:07,375
- - Will it take long?
- - No.
- 1913
- 02:06:07,500 --> 02:06:10,208
- - Bring it to the tea-house.
- - OK.
- 1914
- 02:06:17,083 --> 02:06:18,042
- Is the bike yours?
- 1915
- 02:06:18,167 --> 02:06:19,625
- Yes, I just bought it.
- 1916
- 02:06:19,958 --> 02:06:21,083
- What do you think?
- 1917
- 02:06:21,208 --> 02:06:24,042
- Nice. May it serve you well,
- as the saying goes.
- 1918
- 02:06:24,167 --> 02:06:25,958
- We say "may you wear it out".
- 1919
- 02:06:26,083 --> 02:06:29,333
- What were those old Eastern bloc bikes?
- 1920
- 02:06:29,458 --> 02:06:31,458
- MZs, Jawas...
- 1921
- 02:06:31,583 --> 02:06:33,750
- - And what was that Russian make?
- - Minsk.
- 1922
- 02:06:33,875 --> 02:06:35,667
- Minks, right.
- 1923
- 02:06:35,792 --> 02:06:38,042
- With that massive ta-ta-ta sound.
- 1924
- 02:06:38,208 --> 02:06:41,542
- The mukhtar still has one
- that stutters like that.
- 1925
- 02:06:41,667 --> 02:06:43,542
- To run after the big shots.
- 1926
- 02:06:43,667 --> 02:06:45,167
- How's the new mosque going?
- 1927
- 02:06:45,292 --> 02:06:47,000
- No idea.
- 1928
- 02:06:47,125 --> 02:06:50,042
- It's in the hands
- of the mukhtar and village council.
- 1929
- 02:06:50,167 --> 02:06:53,625
- So we're talking fancy windows,
- shiny domes
- 1930
- 02:06:53,750 --> 02:06:55,250
- and automatic doors?
- 1931
- 02:06:55,375 --> 02:06:57,583
- No idea.
- Everyone's saying something.
- 1932
- 02:06:57,708 --> 02:06:59,833
- How can you not know?
- 1933
- 02:06:59,917 --> 02:07:00,917
- I keep out of it.
- 1934
- 02:07:01,042 --> 02:07:05,792
- When form takes precedence,
- content suffers.
- 1935
- 02:07:05,917 --> 02:07:09,250
- In the Prophet's day
- mosques and minarets didn't even exist.
- 1936
- 02:07:09,375 --> 02:07:11,167
- They're novelties, later additions.
- 1937
- 02:07:11,292 --> 02:07:14,125
- That's too harsh, Nazmi!
- 1938
- 02:07:14,250 --> 02:07:17,000
- It's a very complicated subject.
- Don't get into it.
- 1939
- 02:07:17,125 --> 02:07:19,625
- I'm not out to criticize.
- 1940
- 02:07:19,708 --> 02:07:23,083
- So what if you do?
- Isn't it worship that matters?
- 1941
- 02:07:23,208 --> 02:07:25,625
- Exactly, Sinan!
- 1942
- 02:07:26,750 --> 02:07:29,292
- In a palace or a hut,
- 1943
- 02:07:29,417 --> 02:07:32,167
- worship is worship.
- No one disputes that.
- 1944
- 02:07:32,875 --> 02:07:35,042
- But with a negative outlook,
- 1945
- 02:07:35,167 --> 02:07:37,083
- you can always find faults.
- 1946
- 02:07:37,208 --> 02:07:40,083
- What matters here is intent and honesty.
- 1947
- 02:07:40,208 --> 02:07:41,542
- Honesty?
- 1948
- 02:07:42,208 --> 02:07:44,917
- How can we say that
- 1949
- 02:07:45,042 --> 02:07:46,625
- without self-criticism?
- 1950
- 02:07:46,750 --> 02:07:48,458
- Isn't that an easy way out?
- 1951
- 02:07:48,583 --> 02:07:50,875
- Who needs to self-criticize?
- 1952
- 02:07:51,000 --> 02:07:53,458
- People like you who take the easy way.
- 1953
- 02:07:53,583 --> 02:07:56,875
- Now, Sinan.
- We already pray every night.
- 1954
- 02:07:57,500 --> 02:08:02,000
- And through these prayers,
- we reveal all our flaws and failings.
- 1955
- 02:08:02,125 --> 02:08:03,683
- Is there better self-criticism than that?
- 1956
- 02:08:03,708 --> 02:08:04,958
- So do what we like,
- 1957
- 02:08:05,083 --> 02:08:08,917
- then repent at night and relax.
- La dolce vita, isn't it?
- 1958
- 02:08:09,042 --> 02:08:10,667
- I'm not saying that, Sinan.
- 1959
- 02:08:10,792 --> 02:08:12,958
- Who would?
- 1960
- 02:08:13,083 --> 02:08:15,583
- Of course we can be weak.
- 1961
- 02:08:15,708 --> 02:08:19,917
- But a believer
- should show common sense in all matters.
- 1962
- 02:08:20,042 --> 02:08:22,167
- You should be prudent and deliberate.
- 1963
- 02:08:22,292 --> 02:08:24,833
- Why just believers?
- 1964
- 02:08:24,958 --> 02:08:27,083
- Does nobody else need common sense?
- 1965
- 02:08:27,208 --> 02:08:31,958
- No, but a believer tests himself
- with a higher morality.
- 1966
- 02:08:32,083 --> 02:08:34,917
- And therefore
- he feels extra responsibility.
- 1967
- 02:08:35,125 --> 02:08:38,583
- Maybe. But he feels it
- because he's been told he should.
- 1968
- 02:08:38,708 --> 02:08:40,958
- Why would I want
- responsibility on a plate?
- 1969
- 02:08:41,083 --> 02:08:42,958
- Nobody's more dependable
- 1970
- 02:08:43,042 --> 02:08:46,833
- than a person who's alone
- with his conscience and free will.
- 1971
- 02:08:46,958 --> 02:08:51,375
- Because he builds this responsibility,
- he doesn't receive it.
- 1972
- 02:08:51,500 --> 02:08:55,417
- So he must undertake
- all the consequences of his acts.
- 1973
- 02:08:55,542 --> 02:08:58,000
- Who says free will is free?
- 1974
- 02:08:58,125 --> 02:09:00,375
- Even if it was,
- how could you trust it?
- 1975
- 02:09:00,500 --> 02:09:02,458
- It's not for everyone.
- 1976
- 02:09:02,583 --> 02:09:07,208
- Isn't that why people without the courage
- choose servitude over existence?
- 1977
- 02:09:07,333 --> 02:09:08,458
- All rivers are born
- 1978
- 02:09:08,583 --> 02:09:12,667
- as furious waterfalls
- but grow calm on their way to the sea.
- 1979
- 02:09:12,792 --> 02:09:16,042
- But your raging rivers drag along
- 1980
- 02:09:16,167 --> 02:09:19,292
- lots of pebbles and sticks, too.
- 1981
- 02:09:19,417 --> 02:09:23,167
- Just like strong characters drag
- underdogs and losers with them?
- 1982
- 02:09:23,292 --> 02:09:27,250
- Exactly!
- That's the point of faith or religion!
- 1983
- 02:09:27,375 --> 02:09:30,625
- How else do you control all those crowds?
- 1984
- 02:09:30,750 --> 02:09:35,958
- Wasn't it mostly believers who created
- mountains of bones in the past?
- 1985
- 02:09:36,083 --> 02:09:40,625
- In trying to create order,
- they were worse than the persecutors.
- 1986
- 02:09:40,750 --> 02:09:42,958
- Humanity can't get rid of it,
- like rabies.
- 1987
- 02:09:43,083 --> 02:09:46,042
- If we generalize,
- we're bound to make mistakes.
- 1988
- 02:09:46,167 --> 02:09:48,667
- The vast majority of people
- are believers, aren't they?
- 1989
- 02:09:48,833 --> 02:09:51,000
- Because man's moral backbone is faith.
- 1990
- 02:09:51,125 --> 02:09:52,583
- How can you say that?
- 1991
- 02:09:52,708 --> 02:09:56,833
- Why is the crime rate so low
- in atheist countries then?
- 1992
- 02:09:56,958 --> 02:10:01,500
- That means being just and moral
- has nothing to do with faith or religion.
- 1993
- 02:10:01,625 --> 02:10:05,667
- Then wouldn't people feel all alone
- in this vast universe?
- 1994
- 02:10:05,792 --> 02:10:08,708
- The crime rate may be low
- in those countries,
- 1995
- 02:10:08,833 --> 02:10:10,417
- but the suicide rate is high.
- 1996
- 02:10:10,542 --> 02:10:14,167
- People don't commit crimes,
- but they aren't happy either.
- 1997
- 02:10:14,292 --> 02:10:15,458
- Which would you prefer?
- 1998
- 02:10:15,583 --> 02:10:19,792
- Someone wrote that if the truth
- was proven to be outside Islam,
- 1999
- 02:10:19,917 --> 02:10:22,792
- he'd rather choose Islam
- than the truth.
- 2000
- 02:10:22,917 --> 02:10:27,958
- Which proves the famous argument that
- faith is wanting not to know the truth.
- 2001
- 02:10:28,083 --> 02:10:29,292
- Doesn't it?
- 2002
- 02:10:29,500 --> 02:10:31,250
- No more questions, Your Honour.
- 2003
- 02:10:31,375 --> 02:10:33,292
- Faith is belief
- in the unfathomable?
- 2004
- 02:10:33,417 --> 02:10:34,458
- What?
- 2005
- 02:10:34,583 --> 02:10:36,458
- Belief in the unknown.
- 2006
- 02:10:36,583 --> 02:10:39,375
- Sinan, look.
- The bottom line is this.
- 2007
- 02:10:39,917 --> 02:10:43,542
- Would you want to live in a world
- where God exists
- 2008
- 02:10:43,667 --> 02:10:45,583
- or one where He doesn't?
- 2009
- 02:10:46,042 --> 02:10:47,917
- If it was up to me,
- 2010
- 02:10:48,042 --> 02:10:51,542
- I'd want to live
- in a world where He exists.
- 2011
- 02:10:51,667 --> 02:10:52,917
- Does that change anything?
- 2012
- 02:10:53,042 --> 02:10:54,667
- Change what?
- 2013
- 02:10:54,792 --> 02:10:56,958
- Does what I want
- change anything?
- 2014
- 02:10:57,583 --> 02:10:59,583
- It's not about that.
- 2015
- 02:10:59,708 --> 02:11:02,333
- Wanting it
- 2016
- 02:11:02,458 --> 02:11:04,833
- allows you to feel it.
- 2017
- 02:11:04,958 --> 02:11:07,542
- What more can I say?
- 2018
- 02:11:07,667 --> 02:11:09,708
- I don't have the authority to say more.
- 2019
- 02:11:11,375 --> 02:11:13,333
- I don't have the authority.
- 2020
- 02:11:14,625 --> 02:11:16,083
- What do you say, Imam Nazmi?
- 2021
- 02:11:16,375 --> 02:11:19,083
- There's a poem by Yunus Emre.
- 2022
- 02:11:19,208 --> 02:11:21,667
- "I walk along a road,
- 2023
- 02:11:21,792 --> 02:11:23,958
- "I see a tree standing tall,
- 2024
- 02:11:24,250 --> 02:11:26,208
- "So charming, so sweet,
- 2025
- 02:11:27,458 --> 02:11:28,792
- "My heart..."
- 2026
- 02:11:28,917 --> 02:11:30,625
- How does it go?
- 2027
- 02:11:31,125 --> 02:11:32,708
- Yunus Emre...
- 2028
- 02:11:36,583 --> 02:11:37,833
- What did Ibn Arabi say?
- 2029
- 02:11:37,958 --> 02:11:40,208
- "The god you worship
- is under my feet."
- 2030
- 02:11:40,500 --> 02:11:41,500
- They killed him!
- 2031
- 02:11:41,625 --> 02:11:44,542
- A man of faith and they killed him!
- 2032
- 02:11:44,667 --> 02:11:46,458
- So what did he mean?
- 2033
- 02:11:47,542 --> 02:11:48,875
- He's back with your bike.
- 2034
- 02:11:49,000 --> 02:11:50,333
- No, he's off elsewhere.
- 2035
- 02:11:53,917 --> 02:11:56,458
- I lend the man the bike.
- 2036
- 02:11:57,167 --> 02:11:58,000
- He pretends not to see you!
- 2037
- 02:11:58,125 --> 02:12:01,208
- I didn't lend it to him
- so he could ride off-road.
- 2038
- 02:12:01,833 --> 02:12:06,167
- It's dirty and scratched.
- 2039
- 02:12:06,875 --> 02:12:10,292
- So whenever it rains,
- 2040
- 02:12:10,417 --> 02:12:12,667
- water goes in the scratches
- 2041
- 02:12:12,792 --> 02:12:14,458
- and you get rust and mould.
- 2042
- 02:12:14,583 --> 02:12:17,042
- You end up at the mechanic's
- 2043
- 02:12:17,167 --> 02:12:19,792
- and never get your bike back.
- 2044
- 02:12:19,917 --> 02:12:22,417
- You're down there every week.
- 2045
- 02:12:32,875 --> 02:12:34,583
- I was saying...
- 2046
- 02:12:35,792 --> 02:12:37,000
- You sit here.
- 2047
- 02:12:44,667 --> 02:12:46,792
- - What was it?
- - She's started wearing the veil.
- 2048
- 02:12:46,958 --> 02:12:47,833
- What?
- 2049
- 02:12:48,000 --> 02:12:49,750
- Janet Jackson's wearing the veil.
- 2050
- 02:12:49,875 --> 02:12:50,625
- Give me a break!
- 2051
- 02:12:51,500 --> 02:12:52,917
- A load of bullshit.
- 2052
- 02:12:53,000 --> 02:12:54,208
- Fikret!
- 2053
- 02:12:55,542 --> 02:12:56,875
- Three teas!
- 2054
- 02:13:13,625 --> 02:13:17,000
- Talk about hard workers!
- The man never stops.
- 2055
- 02:13:17,375 --> 02:13:18,458
- Who?
- 2056
- 02:13:19,208 --> 02:13:20,625
- Your dad.
- 2057
- 02:13:21,125 --> 02:13:24,708
- Idris is a great guy.
- Forget what anyone else says.
- 2058
- 02:13:25,042 --> 02:13:26,083
- Good God!
- 2059
- 02:13:26,208 --> 02:13:27,792
- So he's a great guy?
- 2060
- 02:13:28,667 --> 02:13:30,125
- What do you mean by "great"?
- 2061
- 02:13:30,250 --> 02:13:31,917
- Good, conscientious.
- 2062
- 02:13:32,042 --> 02:13:34,167
- Don't say things for the sake of it.
- 2063
- 02:13:34,292 --> 02:13:36,000
- Why would I?
- 2064
- 02:13:36,125 --> 02:13:37,375
- I meant it.
- 2065
- 02:13:37,500 --> 02:13:39,875
- Weekdays he teaches,
- 2066
- 02:13:40,000 --> 02:13:42,375
- on weekends he works in the village.
- 2067
- 02:13:42,542 --> 02:13:44,458
- He'd hardly do it for fun.
- 2068
- 02:13:44,583 --> 02:13:45,958
- Of course not.
- 2069
- 02:13:46,500 --> 02:13:47,958
- But it sucks!
- 2070
- 02:13:48,292 --> 02:13:51,833
- No one can help.
- It's his own decision.
- 2071
- 02:13:52,708 --> 02:13:53,917
- I mean...
- 2072
- 02:13:54,708 --> 02:13:56,583
- He was such a decent guy,
- 2073
- 02:13:57,125 --> 02:13:58,292
- such a gentleman.
- 2074
- 02:13:58,417 --> 02:14:01,208
- I don't know
- how he got into stuff like that.
- 2075
- 02:14:03,000 --> 02:14:04,750
- There's nothing not to understand.
- 2076
- 02:14:06,125 --> 02:14:10,792
- His thing is basically
- a revolt against the absurdity of life.
- 2077
- 02:14:11,125 --> 02:14:13,958
- But if, despite all the contradictions,
- 2078
- 02:14:14,083 --> 02:14:16,208
- you can stay positive,
- 2079
- 02:14:16,333 --> 02:14:19,500
- if you can curb your desires,
- renounce your self...
- 2080
- 02:14:19,625 --> 02:14:21,417
- Let's drop it. It's tricky.
- 2081
- 02:14:21,542 --> 02:14:24,208
- Then life won't seem absurd.
- 2082
- 02:14:24,333 --> 02:14:27,167
- We're all sloshing around
- in a glass of water.
- 2083
- 02:14:27,292 --> 02:14:30,292
- Let's just call it fate and move on.
- 2084
- 02:14:30,417 --> 02:14:34,292
- Don't give me fate!
- You're into easy answers now!
- 2085
- 02:14:34,417 --> 02:14:37,750
- Abuse, sins, crimes...
- Are you calling them fate now?
- 2086
- 02:14:38,125 --> 02:14:40,125
- Disappointments are fate's fault.
- 2087
- 02:14:40,250 --> 02:14:42,833
- Successes are our own doing.
- 2088
- 02:14:42,958 --> 02:14:46,250
- That's how it is, Sinan.
- You're so bitter.
- 2089
- 02:14:46,375 --> 02:14:49,708
- Let people find comfort where they can.
- 2090
- 02:14:49,875 --> 02:14:51,292
- What's wrong with that?
- 2091
- 02:14:51,417 --> 02:14:53,208
- You'll warn me about being
- 2092
- 02:14:53,333 --> 02:14:55,125
- on tricky ground again, but...
- 2093
- 02:14:55,250 --> 02:14:56,917
- Can we just leave it?
- 2094
- 02:14:57,000 --> 02:14:59,458
- Look how nice it is instead.
- 2095
- 02:14:59,792 --> 02:15:03,000
- I can smell the earth again
- since I stopped smoking.
- 2096
- 02:15:07,708 --> 02:15:08,625
- Are you done?
- 2097
- 02:15:08,750 --> 02:15:09,917
- Yes. Thanks.
- 2098
- 02:15:10,042 --> 02:15:12,375
- - You're back early.
- - Yes. The key's in the bike.
- 2099
- 02:15:12,500 --> 02:15:13,375
- OK.
- 2100
- 02:15:13,500 --> 02:15:14,542
- Thanks.
- 2101
- 02:15:15,000 --> 02:15:17,000
- Who dumped that cement there?
- 2102
- 02:15:17,125 --> 02:15:20,167
- I don't know.
- 2103
- 02:15:22,083 --> 02:15:24,333
- Jump on, Sinan.
- Let's feel that wind.
- 2104
- 02:15:24,458 --> 02:15:25,292
- What?
- 2105
- 02:15:25,417 --> 02:15:27,958
- I'll take you for a spin.
- 2106
- 02:15:28,542 --> 02:15:30,917
- We aren't kids, for God's sake!
- 2107
- 02:15:31,042 --> 02:15:34,042
- Why? We're riding it everyday.
- 2108
- 02:15:34,167 --> 02:15:36,750
- Riding is one thing,
- but "going for a spinâ€Â...
- 2109
- 02:15:36,875 --> 02:15:39,542
- -I don't need that.
- - But the shock absorbers are wicked.
- 2110
- 02:15:39,667 --> 02:15:40,625
- Like a plane.
- 2111
- 02:15:40,750 --> 02:15:41,667
- That's my point!
- 2112
- 02:15:41,792 --> 02:15:45,708
- With gadgets getting so good,
- sacred things no longer hit the spot.
- 2113
- 02:15:45,958 --> 02:15:50,958
- But there's more need
- for spirituality than ever.
- 2114
- 02:15:51,083 --> 02:15:54,458
- As the Prophet said,
- every age will get progressively worse,
- 2115
- 02:15:54,583 --> 02:15:56,458
- until Doomsday arrives.
- 2116
- 02:15:56,583 --> 02:16:01,042
- But with the role technology
- plays in your lives,
- 2117
- 02:16:01,542 --> 02:16:06,583
- isn't it hard to embrace the arguments
- you must advocate as imams?
- 2118
- 02:16:06,958 --> 02:16:09,875
- Do you have some other agenda here?
- 2119
- 02:16:10,000 --> 02:16:12,625
- Is humanity doomed
- because I ride a bike?
- 2120
- 02:16:13,042 --> 02:16:16,375
- Look at the state of the world
- and you're hung up about my bike!
- 2121
- 02:16:16,917 --> 02:16:20,417
- Guys my age drive automatic cars
- 2122
- 02:16:20,542 --> 02:16:22,000
- and I'm stuck here...
- 2123
- 02:16:22,125 --> 02:16:26,000
- I heard the other day
- about a pilgrim in Mecca,
- 2124
- 02:16:26,125 --> 02:16:29,333
- who threw his iPhone by mistake
- during the stoning ritual.
- 2125
- 02:16:29,458 --> 02:16:33,750
- Myth merging with reality,
- the abstract with the concrete.
- 2126
- 02:16:33,875 --> 02:16:39,000
- Has religion helped to rid communities
- of bad habits, poverty and addiction?
- 2127
- 02:16:39,083 --> 02:16:41,125
- Yes. Isn't that what matters?
- 2128
- 02:16:41,250 --> 02:16:43,542
- And people's own reality?
- 2129
- 02:16:43,667 --> 02:16:45,417
- Doesn't religion also stop people
- 2130
- 02:16:45,542 --> 02:16:47,417
- attaining their own truth?
- 2131
- 02:16:47,583 --> 02:16:50,708
- Doesn't it do that
- by defining the world for them?
- 2132
- 02:16:50,792 --> 02:16:55,833
- How can you be so sure
- what people really want?
- 2133
- 02:16:56,667 --> 02:16:59,708
- No one wants to find
- their own truth or anything.
- 2134
- 02:16:59,833 --> 02:17:02,667
- So-called 'man' is always busy
- 2135
- 02:17:02,792 --> 02:17:05,250
- carving things out to his advantage.
- 2136
- 02:17:05,375 --> 02:17:07,083
- Continuously!
- 2137
- 02:17:07,458 --> 02:17:08,667
- On the contrary,
- 2138
- 02:17:08,792 --> 02:17:11,542
- people try to escape their reality.
- 2139
- 02:17:12,417 --> 02:17:15,833
- Everyone's busy saving their own ass!
- 2140
- 02:17:16,250 --> 02:17:20,792
- But isn't everyone bound
- to each other by invisible threads?
- 2141
- 02:17:22,000 --> 02:17:25,083
- Call it fate or call it causality.
- 2142
- 02:17:26,292 --> 02:17:27,958
- It makes no difference.
- 2143
- 02:17:30,083 --> 02:17:33,833
- But no one should consider themselves
- pure as the driven snow.
- 2144
- 02:17:38,750 --> 02:17:39,750
- Yes.
- 2145
- 02:17:40,542 --> 02:17:43,583
- He may have lost a lot on the horses.
- 2146
- 02:17:44,208 --> 02:17:46,708
- His house, car, honour, pride,
- 2147
- 02:17:46,792 --> 02:17:48,083
- respectability.
- 2148
- 02:17:50,333 --> 02:17:52,167
- But aren't your salaries paid
- 2149
- 02:17:52,292 --> 02:17:56,417
- with the ill-gotten gains
- of horse races or the lottery?
- 2150
- 02:17:56,625 --> 02:17:59,833
- Look, I wasn't implying
- anything about your dad.
- 2151
- 02:17:59,958 --> 02:18:03,542
- If you're angry about that,
- you've got the wrong idea.
- 2152
- 02:18:03,667 --> 02:18:05,375
- No, I'd say if I was offended.
- 2153
- 02:18:06,375 --> 02:18:09,458
- But still, I'd rather certain things
- were clear before being discussed.
- 2154
- 02:18:09,583 --> 02:18:10,958
- Of course.
- 2155
- 02:19:38,250 --> 02:19:40,083
- Teacher's car for sale
- 2156
- 02:21:36,167 --> 02:21:38,792
- The Wild Pear Tree
- 2157
- 02:22:01,583 --> 02:22:03,167
- Look who's got it easy!
- 2158
- 02:22:04,042 --> 02:22:06,083
- If only all schools were as relaxed.
- 2159
- 02:22:06,167 --> 02:22:07,167
- Right?
- 2160
- 02:22:08,583 --> 02:22:12,417
- Things are cool here.
- Not many students.
- 2161
- 02:22:13,667 --> 02:22:16,292
- What's up? Something wrong?
- 2162
- 02:22:17,500 --> 02:22:19,583
- - I'm just back from Çanakkale.
- - So?
- 2163
- 02:22:20,750 --> 02:22:22,542
- Mum called.
- 2164
- 02:22:23,542 --> 02:22:25,875
- They've cut off the power.
- 2165
- 02:22:26,000 --> 02:22:28,042
- She said you get your overtime today.
- 2166
- 02:22:28,417 --> 02:22:30,708
- I've come to take it
- to get the power back.
- 2167
- 02:22:32,333 --> 02:22:34,292
- There is no money.
- It didn't come through.
- 2168
- 02:22:37,250 --> 02:22:38,917
- It didn't come through?
- 2169
- 02:22:44,417 --> 02:22:46,375
- So what do we do?
- What do I tell her?
- 2170
- 02:22:46,500 --> 02:22:48,292
- How do I know?
- 2171
- 02:22:48,667 --> 02:22:49,917
- Say what you like.
- 2172
- 02:22:51,708 --> 02:22:53,042
- Merve!
- 2173
- 02:22:53,292 --> 02:22:54,958
- You want me to come over?
- 2174
- 02:22:56,333 --> 02:22:57,667
- Well, do you?
- 2175
- 02:23:02,917 --> 02:23:03,875
- OK, then.
- 2176
- 02:23:04,917 --> 02:23:05,917
- I'm going.
- 2177
- 02:23:06,042 --> 02:23:07,125
- OK.
- 2178
- 02:24:39,625 --> 02:24:41,792
- Why are you sleeping at this time?
- 2179
- 02:24:42,750 --> 02:24:44,333
- Did you see your dad?
- 2180
- 02:24:44,458 --> 02:24:45,542
- Yes.
- 2181
- 02:24:46,375 --> 02:24:47,417
- Is it fixed?
- 2182
- 02:24:47,542 --> 02:24:49,417
- No, he didn't give me the money.
- 2183
- 02:24:49,542 --> 02:24:50,625
- What do you mean?
- 2184
- 02:24:50,750 --> 02:24:52,458
- He claims he didn't get it.
- 2185
- 02:24:53,792 --> 02:24:55,708
- The payment didn't come through.
- 2186
- 02:24:55,833 --> 02:24:57,792
- He was supposed to get it today.
- 2187
- 02:24:57,917 --> 02:24:59,458
- He says he didn't.
- 2188
- 02:24:59,583 --> 02:25:03,292
- But he was filling in coupons
- or something in the classroom.
- 2189
- 02:25:03,708 --> 02:25:05,458
- Wherever the money came from.
- 2190
- 02:25:05,583 --> 02:25:09,792
- - He was filling in coupons?
- - Yes. Then he hid them with his arm.
- 2191
- 02:25:09,917 --> 02:25:11,500
- As if I wouldn't see it!
- 2192
- 02:25:12,250 --> 02:25:14,625
- Why didn't you stop him if you saw it?
- 2193
- 02:25:14,708 --> 02:25:16,292
- You could've taken the money.
- 2194
- 02:25:16,417 --> 02:25:18,333
- How? By fighting him?
- 2195
- 02:25:18,458 --> 02:25:19,750
- Why not?
- 2196
- 02:25:19,875 --> 02:25:21,167
- Fight.
- 2197
- 02:25:21,292 --> 02:25:22,667
- Aren't you a man?
- 2198
- 02:25:22,792 --> 02:25:25,833
- Sure, right.
- In front of the students.
- 2199
- 02:25:25,958 --> 02:25:29,083
- If you don't, who will? Me?
- 2200
- 02:25:29,458 --> 02:25:30,625
- So you're a namby-pamby?
- 2201
- 02:25:30,750 --> 02:25:32,958
- Mum, cut the crap!
- 2202
- 02:25:33,167 --> 02:25:36,500
- Didn't I tell you to grab his pay
- before he spent it?
- 2203
- 02:25:36,708 --> 02:25:38,458
- Did I send you for decoration?
- 2204
- 02:25:38,875 --> 02:25:43,458
- Didn't you say the power's off
- and the fridge stinks?
- 2205
- 02:25:43,917 --> 02:25:46,250
- That your sister's studying
- at a friend's?
- 2206
- 02:25:46,375 --> 02:25:48,167
- Stop it, Mum!
- 2207
- 02:25:48,500 --> 02:25:50,667
- You can borrow the money tomorrow.
- 2208
- 02:25:50,875 --> 02:25:53,000
- Sure! Begging is easy.
- 2209
- 02:25:53,125 --> 02:25:54,250
- You try it.
- 2210
- 02:25:54,333 --> 02:25:57,292
- Did I tell you to marry him?
- 2211
- 02:25:57,875 --> 02:25:59,917
- You have to take the bitter
- with the sweet.
- 2212
- 02:26:00,083 --> 02:26:03,833
- You insisted despite everybody
- trying to stop you.
- 2213
- 02:26:03,958 --> 02:26:05,958
- You're impossible to talk to.
- 2214
- 02:26:06,083 --> 02:26:08,250
- Am I supposed to not answer?
- 2215
- 02:26:08,625 --> 02:26:12,542
- You say the last word straight off.
- 2216
- 02:26:13,250 --> 02:26:15,500
- I can never confide in you.
- 2217
- 02:26:37,875 --> 02:26:39,708
- Anyway, here you go.
- 2218
- 02:26:40,375 --> 02:26:41,375
- That's yours.
- 2219
- 02:26:43,083 --> 02:26:44,375
- What is it?
- 2220
- 02:26:46,375 --> 02:26:48,292
- So the book's out?
- 2221
- 02:26:49,333 --> 02:26:51,542
- - When did it come out?
- - Today.
- 2222
- 02:26:58,125 --> 02:26:59,667
- For dearest Mum,
- 2223
- 02:26:59,792 --> 02:27:03,042
- It's all thanks to you
- and for you alone.
- 2224
- 02:27:03,167 --> 02:27:04,375
- Sinan
- 2225
- 02:27:19,917 --> 02:27:21,583
- Don't cry!
- 2226
- 02:27:22,000 --> 02:27:23,500
- Why are you crying?
- 2227
- 02:27:25,833 --> 02:27:28,667
- So I'm not that useless after all.
- 2228
- 02:27:45,750 --> 02:27:47,417
- I'm so happy.
- 2229
- 02:27:47,833 --> 02:27:51,125
- I always knew you'd achieve something.
- 2230
- 02:27:53,708 --> 02:27:56,625
- I never lost my faith in that.
- Never.
- 2231
- 02:27:57,333 --> 02:27:58,417
- Sometimes...
- 2232
- 02:27:58,542 --> 02:28:00,208
- people badmouthed you,
- 2233
- 02:28:00,333 --> 02:28:02,667
- but I never listened.
- 2234
- 02:28:06,167 --> 02:28:10,917
- Some even said you weren't normal
- or implied you were insane.
- 2235
- 02:28:11,208 --> 02:28:13,750
- You can't imagine
- what I had to deal with.
- 2236
- 02:28:13,875 --> 02:28:17,542
- It's normal to call someone insane
- if no one understands them.
- 2237
- 02:28:17,667 --> 02:28:20,292
- They can go to hell.
- I didn't believe any of them.
- 2238
- 02:28:20,417 --> 02:28:23,208
- I knew that because you were special,
- 2239
- 02:28:23,333 --> 02:28:26,250
- some of your ways were different.
- 2240
- 02:28:26,750 --> 02:28:30,208
- Let those backbiters see you now.
- 2241
- 02:28:30,500 --> 02:28:31,500
- This is...
- 2242
- 02:28:32,208 --> 02:28:33,667
- fantastic.
- 2243
- 02:28:34,333 --> 02:28:36,042
- Really fantastic!
- 2244
- 02:28:36,167 --> 02:28:37,458
- A great fat book.
- 2245
- 02:28:37,583 --> 02:28:39,208
- And lots of small print.
- 2246
- 02:28:39,333 --> 02:28:41,208
- I don't know how you wrote it.
- 2247
- 02:28:41,333 --> 02:28:43,542
- On an empty stomach, in hostels.
- 2248
- 02:28:43,667 --> 02:28:45,417
- I don't know how you managed.
- 2249
- 02:28:45,542 --> 02:28:47,708
- OK, Mum. Don't overdo it!
- 2250
- 02:28:47,833 --> 02:28:50,125
- All I've done is publish a book.
- 2251
- 02:28:50,333 --> 02:28:52,250
- We don't even know if it's good.
- 2252
- 02:28:52,375 --> 02:28:53,542
- If what's good?
- 2253
- 02:28:53,625 --> 02:28:54,958
- The book.
- 2254
- 02:28:55,083 --> 02:28:59,542
- It's written and published,
- but will anyone actually like it?
- 2255
- 02:28:59,667 --> 02:29:02,833
- Of course they will!
- Why wouldn't they?
- 2256
- 02:29:03,667 --> 02:29:05,750
- Or will it stir up a hornet's nest?
- 2257
- 02:29:06,042 --> 02:29:08,792
- Anger, disgust, resentment...
- 2258
- 02:29:09,083 --> 02:29:12,292
- maybe even court cases?
- 2259
- 02:29:13,125 --> 02:29:14,625
- Court cases?
- 2260
- 02:29:15,042 --> 02:29:18,500
- Who knows?
- The truth isn't always popular.
- 2261
- 02:29:18,833 --> 02:29:21,208
- How did you find the money,
- by the way?
- 2262
- 02:29:21,333 --> 02:29:22,833
- You said you didn't have any.
- 2263
- 02:29:22,958 --> 02:29:25,625
- I haggled.
- 2264
- 02:29:25,750 --> 02:29:27,417
- And borrowed a bit, too.
- 2265
- 02:29:27,542 --> 02:29:28,625
- But not much.
- 2266
- 02:29:28,750 --> 02:29:31,083
- Debt isn't Mr Loser's monopoly.
- 2267
- 02:29:31,208 --> 02:29:33,333
- It's my turn.
- 2268
- 02:29:33,458 --> 02:29:36,583
- And at least
- mine is for a worthy cause.
- 2269
- 02:29:37,417 --> 02:29:38,792
- Don't say that.
- 2270
- 02:29:38,917 --> 02:29:40,000
- Say what?
- 2271
- 02:29:40,125 --> 02:29:41,667
- Mr Loser?
- 2272
- 02:29:42,750 --> 02:29:45,458
- That describes him well.
- 2273
- 02:29:45,750 --> 02:29:47,792
- What else can I call him?
- 2274
- 02:29:47,917 --> 02:29:51,292
- Or was he a winner once
- and kept it hidden?
- 2275
- 02:29:51,458 --> 02:29:53,583
- He should be glad
- to get off so lightly.
- 2276
- 02:29:53,708 --> 02:29:56,375
- True, he's been trouble.
- 2277
- 02:29:56,917 --> 02:29:59,208
- But it kills me at times
- to see him like this.
- 2278
- 02:29:59,333 --> 02:30:03,167
- Oh, c'mon!
- Make your bed and sleep in it.
- 2279
- 02:30:04,667 --> 02:30:07,833
- Well, let's see
- who you end up marrying.
- 2280
- 02:30:07,917 --> 02:30:08,833
- God forbid!
- 2281
- 02:30:08,917 --> 02:30:11,458
- We haven't seen any girlfriends.
- 2282
- 02:30:11,833 --> 02:30:12,833
- Isn't there anyone?
- 2283
- 02:30:13,125 --> 02:30:14,208
- Of course not.
- 2284
- 02:30:14,375 --> 02:30:15,292
- Why?
- 2285
- 02:30:15,542 --> 02:30:16,792
- Why do you think?
- 2286
- 02:30:16,958 --> 02:30:18,708
- I'm a peasant. I'm poor.
- 2287
- 02:30:19,292 --> 02:30:20,625
- I'm unemployed.
- 2288
- 02:30:21,375 --> 02:30:22,583
- Isn't that enough?
- 2289
- 02:30:23,250 --> 02:30:24,583
- What do you mean, peasant?
- 2290
- 02:30:24,708 --> 02:30:26,792
- I'm not expecting a princess.
- 2291
- 02:30:26,917 --> 02:30:29,167
- Everyone's a peasant here.
- 2292
- 02:30:29,292 --> 02:30:31,708
- If I did marry,
- she wouldn't be from here anyway.
- 2293
- 02:30:32,333 --> 02:30:34,208
- What's wrong with people from here?
- 2294
- 02:30:34,333 --> 02:30:35,417
- Forget it.
- 2295
- 02:30:36,292 --> 02:30:38,708
- You'd never understand.
- There's no point.
- 2296
- 02:30:38,792 --> 02:30:42,292
- So you understand everything
- and we understand nothing?
- 2297
- 02:30:42,417 --> 02:30:46,625
- Exactly, if this man
- was the best you could do.
- 2298
- 02:30:48,292 --> 02:30:49,500
- What more can I say?
- 2299
- 02:30:49,625 --> 02:30:51,167
- What was I supposed to do?
- 2300
- 02:30:51,958 --> 02:30:54,375
- They'd lined up another man.
- 2301
- 02:30:54,917 --> 02:30:57,417
- But your dad was young, handsome,
- 2302
- 02:30:57,583 --> 02:30:59,500
- he had a way with words.
- 2303
- 02:30:59,750 --> 02:31:01,917
- - And he was educated as well.
- - There you go!
- 2304
- 02:31:02,042 --> 02:31:04,042
- You shouldn't complain then.
- 2305
- 02:31:05,208 --> 02:31:08,292
- He had such an incredible way
- with words...
- 2306
- 02:31:08,875 --> 02:31:12,292
- he'd make you stop dead
- in your tracks.
- 2307
- 02:31:13,833 --> 02:31:16,750
- When everyone else
- was talking about money
- 2308
- 02:31:17,167 --> 02:31:19,792
- and calculating who owned what,
- 2309
- 02:31:20,625 --> 02:31:23,667
- he spoke of the smell of the earth,
- of lambs
- 2310
- 02:31:23,792 --> 02:31:25,625
- and the colour of the fields.
- 2311
- 02:31:25,958 --> 02:31:27,625
- That hasn't changed.
- 2312
- 02:31:28,625 --> 02:31:32,625
- Maybe we get annoyed now
- when he talks like that,
- 2313
- 02:31:32,750 --> 02:31:35,042
- but in those days,
- 2314
- 02:31:35,833 --> 02:31:38,042
- I couldn't hear enough of it.
- 2315
- 02:31:39,167 --> 02:31:40,917
- And I was only 16.
- 2316
- 02:31:41,042 --> 02:31:43,250
- I'd never met anyone like him.
- 2317
- 02:31:43,667 --> 02:31:45,833
- So I ran away with him.
- 2318
- 02:31:47,250 --> 02:31:48,792
- But still,
- 2319
- 02:31:49,000 --> 02:31:51,167
- if we were to turn back the clock
- 2320
- 02:31:52,375 --> 02:31:54,333
- and I was allowed to choose again,
- 2321
- 02:31:54,458 --> 02:31:57,500
- knowing what I know now,
- 2322
- 02:31:59,375 --> 02:32:02,917
- I'm sure I'd do the same thing
- all over again.
- 2323
- 02:32:04,250 --> 02:32:06,458
- I mean,
- I'd marry your dad again.
- 2324
- 02:32:06,917 --> 02:32:09,542
- Yes.
- Crazy, maybe, but true.
- 2325
- 02:32:09,667 --> 02:32:11,750
- You're something else!
- 2326
- 02:32:12,917 --> 02:32:16,917
- He sold our home to fund his gambling
- and you're still defending him!
- 2327
- 02:32:17,042 --> 02:32:18,667
- I'm not trying to defend him.
- 2328
- 02:32:18,792 --> 02:32:20,417
- I'm saying what I feel.
- 2329
- 02:32:21,042 --> 02:32:23,167
- You know what?
- 2330
- 02:32:23,542 --> 02:32:25,417
- You're all the same.
- 2331
- 02:32:25,542 --> 02:32:27,792
- You women, you're all crazy.
- 2332
- 02:32:28,250 --> 02:32:30,000
- No, we aren't the same.
- 2333
- 02:32:30,125 --> 02:32:33,167
- Yes you are. Believe me.
- 2334
- 02:32:33,625 --> 02:32:37,208
- Sometimes you think
- this one's different,
- 2335
- 02:32:37,750 --> 02:32:40,875
- when lo and behold,
- out comes the same old stuff.
- 2336
- 02:32:41,875 --> 02:32:44,542
- You're always so over-the-top.
- 2337
- 02:32:44,667 --> 02:32:47,458
- All that love,
- all that mushy, gooey emotion,
- 2338
- 02:32:47,583 --> 02:32:50,250
- I don't get where it comes from.
- 2339
- 02:32:51,417 --> 02:32:52,542
- Take me, for example.
- 2340
- 02:32:52,750 --> 02:32:54,917
- I don't like people.
- 2341
- 02:32:55,542 --> 02:32:58,833
- I can't bring myself to.
- What can I do?
- 2342
- 02:32:59,125 --> 02:33:02,083
- I have nothing
- against animals or nature.
- 2343
- 02:33:02,917 --> 02:33:06,458
- But I have no patience with people.
- 2344
- 02:33:06,583 --> 02:33:08,833
- I can't stand them.
- 2345
- 02:33:14,375 --> 02:33:16,667
- If there's such a thing
- 2346
- 02:33:16,958 --> 02:33:19,208
- as a writer who loathes people.
- 2347
- 02:34:21,667 --> 02:34:23,333
- Good grief!
- 2348
- 02:34:24,417 --> 02:34:25,667
- Why's the fridge empty?
- 2349
- 02:34:25,750 --> 02:34:28,000
- Guess. I took it to the neighbour's.
- 2350
- 02:34:28,208 --> 02:34:29,667
- But why?
- 2351
- 02:34:29,917 --> 02:34:34,458
- You even need to ask? There's no power!
- You want the food to rot?
- 2352
- 02:34:35,208 --> 02:34:36,375
- OK.
- 2353
- 02:34:38,542 --> 02:34:40,667
- You didn't give Sinan any money.
- 2354
- 02:34:41,125 --> 02:34:42,083
- No, I didn't.
- 2355
- 02:34:42,208 --> 02:34:43,250
- Why not?
- 2356
- 02:34:43,375 --> 02:34:45,083
- I wonder why.
- 2357
- 02:34:45,750 --> 02:34:47,875
- Maybe the money didn't come through.
- 2358
- 02:34:48,167 --> 02:34:49,958
- Why not?
- 2359
- 02:34:51,417 --> 02:34:53,583
- How would I know, Asuman?
- 2360
- 02:34:53,708 --> 02:34:56,250
- Stop lying for goodness sake!
- 2361
- 02:34:56,375 --> 02:34:57,375
- What lies?
- 2362
- 02:34:58,375 --> 02:35:01,375
- I have to babysit at my age
- because of you.
- 2363
- 02:35:01,500 --> 02:35:02,833
- You think it's easy?
- 2364
- 02:35:02,958 --> 02:35:06,292
- I've been babysitting for 25 years.
- A whole army of kids.
- 2365
- 02:35:06,375 --> 02:35:07,892
- - It's not the same.
- - Of course it is.
- 2366
- 02:35:07,917 --> 02:35:09,500
- No, it isn't.
- 2367
- 02:35:11,792 --> 02:35:15,292
- How many times have I told you?
- No fights in front of the kids.
- 2368
- 02:35:15,500 --> 02:35:18,833
- The kids? You think they're blind?
- 2369
- 02:35:18,958 --> 02:35:22,000
- These fights damage the kids.
- I know, I'm a teacher.
- 2370
- 02:35:22,125 --> 02:35:24,625
- A teacher! What kind?
- A horses teacher?
- 2371
- 02:35:24,750 --> 02:35:25,750
- Stop that!
- 2372
- 02:35:25,875 --> 02:35:28,667
- If you had no money,
- what were the coupons in the classroom?
- 2373
- 02:35:28,792 --> 02:35:30,250
- What coupons? What classroom?
- 2374
- 02:35:30,333 --> 02:35:32,208
- Spare me! Don't act it!
- 2375
- 02:35:32,333 --> 02:35:35,792
- I'm not, Asuman.
- What the hell gives you that idea?
- 2376
- 02:35:35,917 --> 02:35:37,958
- Fine, carry on gambling!
- 2377
- 02:35:38,083 --> 02:35:42,000
- Let's just see
- if you get to retire in one piece.
- 2378
- 02:35:42,125 --> 02:35:46,375
- Our only hope is that bonus.
- I'm terrified you'll sabotage it.
- 2379
- 02:35:46,500 --> 02:35:48,625
- So carry on, keep gambling.
- 2380
- 02:36:03,250 --> 02:36:05,583
- What you did wasn't nice at all.
- 2381
- 02:36:05,750 --> 02:36:07,750
- - What?
- - You know what!
- 2382
- 02:36:09,292 --> 02:36:11,042
- It's called snitching.
- 2383
- 02:36:11,292 --> 02:36:12,542
- And what makes you think
- 2384
- 02:36:12,667 --> 02:36:14,542
- I was doing the horses at school?
- 2385
- 02:36:14,667 --> 02:36:17,667
- - I saw!
- - What did you see that I didn't?
- 2386
- 02:36:17,833 --> 02:36:20,500
- Didn't you hide a paper
- when I came in?
- 2387
- 02:36:20,625 --> 02:36:22,000
- - Yes.
- - So?
- 2388
- 02:36:22,208 --> 02:36:23,917
- Why didn't you ask me there?
- 2389
- 02:36:24,042 --> 02:36:25,083
- Ask what?
- 2390
- 02:36:25,208 --> 02:36:26,792
- You can't say things like that
- 2391
- 02:36:26,917 --> 02:36:28,750
- without being totally sure.
- 2392
- 02:36:29,583 --> 02:36:31,708
- You pass the sentence without a trial
- 2393
- 02:36:31,792 --> 02:36:33,833
- and execute it without shame.
- 2394
- 02:36:34,000 --> 02:36:35,292
- Aren't you above that?
- 2395
- 02:36:35,417 --> 02:36:36,542
- Don't give me that!
- 2396
- 02:36:36,667 --> 02:36:39,458
- Why hide it
- if it wasn't a betting coupon?
- 2397
- 02:37:00,958 --> 02:37:02,625
- Have your betting coupon!
- 2398
- 02:37:02,875 --> 02:37:04,375
- It's all a game.
- 2399
- 02:37:04,500 --> 02:37:06,375
- All I do is gamble.
- 2400
- 02:37:06,500 --> 02:37:07,708
- There, take it.
- 2401
- 02:37:31,625 --> 02:37:33,792
- Lost dog!
- 2402
- 02:37:48,458 --> 02:37:51,125
- What was he throwing away?
- 2403
- 02:37:51,250 --> 02:37:52,000
- Nothing.
- 2404
- 02:37:52,833 --> 02:37:56,750
- He says he was drawing
- a "lost dog" poster.
- 2405
- 02:37:58,125 --> 02:38:00,292
- I think he's making it up.
- 2406
- 02:38:04,417 --> 02:38:08,875
- I woke up the other night
- and found him gone from the bed.
- 2407
- 02:38:09,208 --> 02:38:12,750
- There was an odd whine
- coming from far away.
- 2408
- 02:38:13,625 --> 02:38:17,458
- I got up, went to the living room
- and found him there.
- 2409
- 02:38:17,583 --> 02:38:18,917
- He was crying in the dark.
- 2410
- 02:38:19,042 --> 02:38:20,875
- What? How do you mean?
- 2411
- 02:38:21,167 --> 02:38:22,042
- Crying?
- 2412
- 02:38:22,167 --> 02:38:27,208
- He was whimpering
- like I've never heard before.
- 2413
- 02:38:27,333 --> 02:38:29,250
- - Good God!
- - Like he had stomach pains.
- 2414
- 02:38:29,375 --> 02:38:30,458
- Why was he crying?
- 2415
- 02:38:30,542 --> 02:38:32,875
- His dog's missing, you know.
- 2416
- 02:38:33,542 --> 02:38:34,917
- Weird.
- 2417
- 02:38:35,583 --> 02:38:37,833
- Has he really made
- such a big deal of it?
- 2418
- 02:38:37,958 --> 02:38:39,250
- Even worse.
- 2419
- 02:38:40,208 --> 02:38:43,875
- You feel sorry for him
- and annoyed at the same time.
- 2420
- 02:38:44,250 --> 02:38:48,250
- Because I know, God forbid,
- that if anything happened to one of us,
- 2421
- 02:38:48,500 --> 02:38:50,625
- he wouldn't turn a hair.
- 2422
- 02:38:51,000 --> 02:38:54,708
- But when a mere dog goes missing,
- what dramas!
- 2423
- 02:38:54,833 --> 02:38:57,417
- Posters on walls, poles, posts.
- 2424
- 02:38:57,542 --> 02:38:59,250
- Nightmares at night.
- 2425
- 02:39:00,292 --> 02:39:01,750
- Good God!
- 2426
- 02:39:02,167 --> 02:39:03,125
- That kind of surprised me.
- 2427
- 02:39:03,208 --> 02:39:07,250
- His dog is the only living thing
- that doesn't judge him.
- 2428
- 02:39:08,417 --> 02:39:09,417
- He says so, too.
- 2429
- 02:39:09,542 --> 02:39:10,750
- Did he really say that?
- 2430
- 02:39:10,875 --> 02:39:11,875
- Yes.
- 2431
- 02:39:14,083 --> 02:39:16,667
- That's really funny.
- 2432
- 02:39:23,000 --> 02:39:24,625
- It's started snowing.
- 2433
- 02:42:12,250 --> 02:42:14,667
- What happened to those?
- 2434
- 02:42:15,042 --> 02:42:18,208
- I told you.
- Not even a minute.
- 2435
- 02:42:18,833 --> 02:42:20,875
- - What happened?
- - Don't ask.
- 2436
- 02:42:21,000 --> 02:42:25,333
- We moved them by the boiler
- so they wouldn't get trampled on.
- 2437
- 02:42:25,500 --> 02:42:27,667
- We worried you might be angry, though.
- 2438
- 02:42:27,792 --> 02:42:30,000
- Then Murphy's Law struck.
- 2439
- 02:42:30,125 --> 02:42:32,167
- Rain leaked through the window.
- 2440
- 02:42:32,292 --> 02:42:36,042
- The packets got damp,
- but nothing serious.
- 2441
- 02:42:37,250 --> 02:42:39,708
- A few are discoloured, that's all.
- 2442
- 02:42:39,833 --> 02:42:41,917
- None of them are creased.
- 2443
- 02:42:42,042 --> 02:42:43,958
- Well, not really.
- 2444
- 02:42:45,583 --> 02:42:47,833
- So tell me, have you read it?
- 2445
- 02:42:48,833 --> 02:42:51,292
- You started it, Yasemin.
- Did you finish?
- 2446
- 02:42:51,417 --> 02:42:54,042
- I have no time after studying.
- 2447
- 02:42:54,167 --> 02:42:56,083
- It didn't go anywhere.
- 2448
- 02:42:56,500 --> 02:42:57,750
- That's true.
- 2449
- 02:42:57,875 --> 02:42:59,917
- But you changed the fridge?
- 2450
- 02:43:00,458 --> 02:43:02,750
- Fridge, extractor, her laptop,
- 2451
- 02:43:02,875 --> 02:43:04,750
- her phone, our debts...
- 2452
- 02:43:04,875 --> 02:43:07,292
- That used up the retirement bonus.
- 2453
- 02:43:08,792 --> 02:43:11,417
- So where's the shepherd?
- In the village?
- 2454
- 02:43:12,167 --> 02:43:15,042
- The shepherd barely comes back now.
- 2455
- 02:43:16,250 --> 02:43:19,292
- No wonder it's so quiet in the house.
- 2456
- 02:43:20,417 --> 02:43:23,625
- I'm not sure if that's a good thing.
- 2457
- 02:43:23,750 --> 02:43:27,000
- The shepherd's living
- in his father's storeroom.
- 2458
- 02:43:27,208 --> 02:43:28,417
- What storeroom?
- 2459
- 02:43:28,542 --> 02:43:32,458
- That damp, rat-infested room
- under the house.
- 2460
- 02:43:33,167 --> 02:43:34,417
- There you go.
- 2461
- 02:43:34,958 --> 02:43:36,542
- He's found his place.
- 2462
- 02:43:37,500 --> 02:43:40,250
- Father and son can build a love nest.
- 2463
- 02:43:40,375 --> 02:43:42,000
- Very!
- 2464
- 02:44:37,958 --> 02:44:38,958
- Hi.
- 2465
- 02:44:39,875 --> 02:44:42,000
- Hey! How are you?
- 2466
- 02:44:42,125 --> 02:44:44,125
- Good. How about you?
- 2467
- 02:44:44,250 --> 02:44:46,167
- Not bad. Struggling along.
- 2468
- 02:44:46,458 --> 02:44:49,708
- I wanted to ask about my book sales.
- 2469
- 02:44:49,833 --> 02:44:50,917
- How did it go?
- 2470
- 02:44:51,042 --> 02:44:52,250
- What was it?
- 2471
- 02:44:52,500 --> 02:44:54,083
- The Wild Pear Tree.
- 2472
- 02:44:54,292 --> 02:44:56,708
- Ah, wild pear. OK.
- 2473
- 02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:01,167
- I remember now.
- 2474
- 02:45:01,292 --> 02:45:04,042
- We had it on display for 4-5 months,
- but it didn't sell.
- 2475
- 02:45:04,167 --> 02:45:06,458
- So we took it off the shelves.
- 2476
- 02:45:06,583 --> 02:45:07,875
- Really?
- 2477
- 02:45:08,167 --> 02:45:10,667
- - Not a single sale?
- - No.
- 2478
- 02:45:11,917 --> 02:45:13,833
- I'll give them back if you like,
- 2479
- 02:45:13,958 --> 02:45:16,375
- or we can have another go in summer.
- 2480
- 02:45:16,500 --> 02:45:17,833
- Keep them here.
- 2481
- 02:45:22,000 --> 02:45:23,125
- OK.
- 2482
- 02:45:23,458 --> 02:45:25,125
- I'll drop by again.
- 2483
- 02:45:25,833 --> 02:45:27,833
- - Have a good day.
- - Thanks.
- 2484
- 02:45:43,542 --> 02:45:46,042
- The Lost Children of Ida
- 2485
- 02:49:07,250 --> 02:49:10,250
- Literature in Çanakkale - Sinan Karasu
- 2486
- 02:52:07,792 --> 02:52:08,625
- Jamukha!
- 2487
- 02:52:08,750 --> 02:52:09,667
- Quiet boy!
- 2488
- 02:52:12,250 --> 02:52:13,417
- Well, well!
- 2489
- 02:52:14,208 --> 02:52:15,417
- Welcome.
- 2490
- 02:52:15,708 --> 02:52:16,917
- Good to have you back.
- 2491
- 02:52:17,042 --> 02:52:18,083
- Thanks.
- 2492
- 02:52:18,333 --> 02:52:19,708
- Are you done now?
- 2493
- 02:52:19,875 --> 02:52:20,750
- I guess.
- 2494
- 02:52:20,917 --> 02:52:22,167
- That's good.
- 2495
- 02:52:28,958 --> 02:52:30,833
- How do you like my new palace?
- 2496
- 02:52:32,500 --> 02:52:33,500
- Good.
- 2497
- 02:52:34,042 --> 02:52:35,833
- And my new friends?
- 2498
- 02:52:36,250 --> 02:52:37,667
- No expense spared!
- 2499
- 02:52:41,250 --> 02:52:43,125
- - So how are you doing?
- - Not bad.
- 2500
- 02:52:43,250 --> 02:52:45,875
- You're lucky to catch me here.
- 2501
- 02:52:46,000 --> 02:52:47,458
- I was just off to get some bales.
- 2502
- 02:52:47,583 --> 02:52:49,917
- Yucel has super-dry ones
- at the old school.
- 2503
- 02:52:50,042 --> 02:52:51,375
- I was going there.
- 2504
- 02:52:52,542 --> 02:52:54,250
- So, was it tough?
- 2505
- 02:52:54,375 --> 02:52:56,625
- No, but only time drags on.
- 2506
- 02:52:56,958 --> 02:52:59,292
- It's the same day in, day out.
- 2507
- 02:53:00,583 --> 02:53:02,375
- So how are you getting the bales here?
- 2508
- 02:53:02,667 --> 02:53:04,917
- Yucel has a pickup truck.
- 2509
- 02:53:05,042 --> 02:53:07,458
- He's got a tractor, too,
- but forget that.
- 2510
- 02:53:07,875 --> 02:53:09,458
- Let's go then.
- 2511
- 02:53:09,583 --> 02:53:10,458
- What?
- 2512
- 02:53:10,667 --> 02:53:11,542
- Really?
- 2513
- 02:53:11,667 --> 02:53:12,583
- Yes.
- 2514
- 02:53:12,833 --> 02:53:15,042
- Let's get the sheep inside then.
- 2515
- 02:53:15,167 --> 02:53:17,500
- And let's get that done.
- 2516
- 02:53:17,750 --> 02:53:19,208
- It's turned out well.
- 2517
- 02:53:19,333 --> 02:53:20,333
- You got back yesterday?
- 2518
- 02:53:20,500 --> 02:53:21,583
- Yes.
- 2519
- 02:53:22,292 --> 02:53:24,250
- Have you seen your grandad?
- 2520
- 02:53:24,375 --> 02:53:26,917
- No. I checked your room
- then came here.
- 2521
- 02:53:27,042 --> 02:53:29,625
- - I'll drop by later.
- - He's all steamed up again.
- 2522
- 02:53:29,750 --> 02:53:31,417
- About that room being his.
- 2523
- 02:53:31,542 --> 02:53:32,375
- Grandad?
- 2524
- 02:53:32,500 --> 02:53:33,417
- Yes.
- 2525
- 02:53:35,875 --> 02:53:39,708
- He's telling the world
- he'll throw me out if I annoy him.
- 2526
- 02:53:40,542 --> 02:53:42,500
- So I stay here mostly.
- 2527
- 02:53:42,750 --> 02:53:44,000
- I keep away from there.
- 2528
- 02:56:24,125 --> 02:56:26,792
- They love this stuff.
- They eat a ton of it.
- 2529
- 02:56:26,917 --> 02:56:29,125
- I plan to grow some next year.
- 2530
- 02:56:29,333 --> 02:56:31,792
- Buying it
- 2531
- 02:56:31,917 --> 02:56:33,667
- costs too much.
- 2532
- 02:56:34,833 --> 02:56:36,292
- I'm worn out.
- 2533
- 02:56:38,000 --> 02:56:39,708
- How's the well by the way?
- 2534
- 02:56:39,833 --> 02:56:41,958
- - Is it done?
- - The less said the better.
- 2535
- 02:56:42,208 --> 02:56:44,125
- The villagers were right this time.
- 2536
- 02:56:44,250 --> 02:56:45,833
- I didn't find any water.
- 2537
- 02:56:46,167 --> 02:56:47,375
- What?
- 2538
- 02:56:48,167 --> 02:56:49,375
- - Are you sure?
- - Yes.
- 2539
- 02:56:49,500 --> 02:56:51,792
- I dug 10 metres deep and still nothing.
- 2540
- 02:56:52,042 --> 02:56:55,083
- All that time and effort wasted.
- 2541
- 02:56:55,542 --> 02:56:56,667
- Forget digging a well...
- 2542
- 02:56:56,792 --> 02:56:59,792
- it was more like a journey
- to the centre of the Earth.
- 2543
- 02:57:03,375 --> 02:57:05,458
- So you're admitting defeat?
- 2544
- 02:57:05,583 --> 02:57:06,875
- Exactly.
- 2545
- 02:57:07,000 --> 02:57:08,500
- If I'd been proven right
- 2546
- 02:57:09,208 --> 02:57:12,583
- it would've been good.
- 2547
- 02:57:12,708 --> 02:57:15,042
- But it's too bad, I wasn't.
- 2548
- 02:57:15,167 --> 02:57:16,958
- They proved to be right again.
- 2549
- 02:57:20,250 --> 02:57:22,625
- But never mind.
- 2550
- 02:57:22,958 --> 02:57:24,333
- That's fine, too.
- 2551
- 02:57:24,458 --> 02:57:26,875
- "A timely retreat is a victory."
- 2552
- 02:57:27,000 --> 02:57:28,875
- That's my consolation.
- 2553
- 02:57:33,958 --> 02:57:34,917
- So?
- 2554
- 02:57:35,042 --> 02:57:36,833
- Military service is over.
- 2555
- 02:57:36,958 --> 02:57:38,667
- What are you going to do now?
- 2556
- 02:57:38,917 --> 02:57:40,208
- I don't know.
- 2557
- 02:57:40,625 --> 02:57:43,917
- Either teach in the East
- and waste my youth like you
- 2558
- 02:57:44,042 --> 02:57:46,250
- Or get some irrelevant job here
- 2559
- 02:57:46,375 --> 02:57:48,292
- and waste my youth that way.
- 2560
- 02:57:50,292 --> 02:57:52,000
- What do you think I should do?
- 2561
- 02:57:52,833 --> 02:57:56,833
- Everyone has different expectations.
- 2562
- 02:57:57,458 --> 02:58:01,667
- If you love what you do,
- you can survive anywhere.
- 2563
- 02:58:02,000 --> 02:58:06,000
- Like most teachers, I started out
- in the desolate villages of the East.
- 2564
- 02:58:06,125 --> 02:58:07,417
- As you well know.
- 2565
- 02:58:07,708 --> 02:58:09,875
- Terrorism was at its peak then.
- 2566
- 02:58:10,292 --> 02:58:13,833
- I'd dreamt of other things,
- but never mind.
- 2567
- 02:58:15,250 --> 02:58:17,542
- Whose dreams come true just like that?
- 2568
- 02:58:17,667 --> 02:58:21,042
- I experienced so much.
- I met such incredible people.
- 2569
- 02:58:21,458 --> 02:58:24,667
- I've forgotten most of it,
- but even forgetting has its appeal.
- 2570
- 02:58:24,792 --> 02:58:27,333
- People should float in time a little.
- 2571
- 02:58:27,417 --> 02:58:29,583
- Good and bad memories should merge
- 2572
- 02:58:29,708 --> 02:58:32,000
- and dim and melt away.
- 2573
- 02:58:32,417 --> 02:58:34,458
- There are those that should stay, too.
- 2574
- 02:58:35,083 --> 02:58:37,125
- Carving a notch in time.
- 2575
- 02:58:37,458 --> 02:58:40,083
- You address the time thing in your book,
- for example.
- 2576
- 02:58:40,208 --> 02:58:41,542
- I liked that.
- 2577
- 02:58:42,667 --> 02:58:43,958
- Have you read the book?
- 2578
- 02:58:44,083 --> 02:58:46,042
- Of course I have.
- 2579
- 02:58:46,375 --> 02:58:48,792
- And I've even read some parts twice.
- 2580
- 02:58:49,042 --> 02:58:50,167
- Really?
- 2581
- 02:58:52,708 --> 02:58:54,125
- Are you serious?
- 2582
- 02:58:54,417 --> 02:58:56,417
- Of course I am. Why?
- 2583
- 02:58:57,958 --> 02:58:59,167
- I don't know.
- 2584
- 02:58:59,917 --> 02:59:03,458
- It's the first time
- I've come across anyone who's read it.
- 2585
- 02:59:03,792 --> 02:59:05,625
- I'm kind of surprised.
- 2586
- 02:59:22,875 --> 02:59:23,917
- Here it is.
- 2587
- 02:59:24,042 --> 02:59:25,958
- My best friend!
- 2588
- 02:59:27,333 --> 02:59:31,167
- And don't think I didn't notice
- where you talk about me.
- 2589
- 02:59:31,292 --> 02:59:33,958
- You don't say great things about me,
- 2590
- 02:59:34,083 --> 02:59:35,292
- but that's how it should be.
- 2591
- 02:59:35,417 --> 02:59:38,250
- The young should criticize the old.
- 2592
- 02:59:38,417 --> 02:59:40,667
- That's how progress works.
- 2593
- 02:59:40,792 --> 02:59:43,667
- It wasn't really
- meant as criticism, but...
- 2594
- 02:59:45,167 --> 02:59:47,333
- Did you read
- the "Wild Pear Tree" chapter?
- 2595
- 02:59:47,458 --> 02:59:48,500
- Of course.
- 2596
- 02:59:48,625 --> 02:59:50,500
- Oh, for wild pears!
- 2597
- 02:59:51,292 --> 02:59:55,000
- I got that from what you told us
- at primary school.
- 2598
- 02:59:55,125 --> 02:59:57,625
- I'm glad to have been some use.
- 2599
- 02:59:58,167 --> 03:00:00,833
- In those days, school teachers
- 2600
- 03:00:00,958 --> 03:00:04,250
- were freer to stray
- from the curriculum.
- 2601
- 03:00:04,417 --> 03:00:06,250
- A good thing, too!
- 2602
- 03:00:07,167 --> 03:00:10,958
- We could stretch the curriculum
- according to the region.
- 2603
- 03:00:11,417 --> 03:00:13,417
- Without upsetting the balance.
- 2604
- 03:00:14,542 --> 03:00:16,500
- So I told you things like that, yes.
- 2605
- 03:00:16,625 --> 03:00:19,458
- There was a wild pear tree
- opposite the school.
- 2606
- 03:00:19,625 --> 03:00:21,125
- You showed it to us.
- 2607
- 03:00:21,250 --> 03:00:22,708
- You're right.
- 2608
- 03:00:22,833 --> 03:00:25,125
- There's one over there, too.
- 2609
- 03:00:26,250 --> 03:00:30,292
- You know, sometimes things I see
- in you, me and even Grandad
- 2610
- 03:00:30,375 --> 03:00:32,625
- remind me of a wild pear tree.
- 2611
- 03:00:33,125 --> 03:00:36,542
- I don't know.
- We're all misfits, solitary,
- 2612
- 03:00:36,667 --> 03:00:37,958
- misshapen.
- 2613
- 03:00:38,083 --> 03:00:40,917
- Everyone has their own temperament.
- 2614
- 03:00:41,042 --> 03:00:43,708
- The thing is
- being able to accept and like it.
- 2615
- 03:00:44,042 --> 03:00:47,000
- The fruit of wild pears
- is misshapen like you say.
- 2616
- 03:00:47,125 --> 03:00:50,708
- But I have it for breakfast some days
- and it's so good.
- 2617
- 03:00:50,833 --> 03:00:56,000
- My point is, yes, human nature is
- as full of oddities as animal nature.
- 2618
- 03:00:56,375 --> 03:01:01,000
- I grew up here, for example,
- but I mixed up dog and jackal tracks.
- 2619
- 03:01:01,125 --> 03:01:04,458
- Turns out there's a small bulge
- at the back of a jackal print.
- 2620
- 03:01:04,708 --> 03:01:06,208
- Do you still get jackals here?
- 2621
- 03:01:06,333 --> 03:01:07,542
- Absolutely!
- 2622
- 03:01:08,083 --> 03:01:11,125
- We'll hear them howling
- down by the stream.
- 2623
- 03:01:11,417 --> 03:01:12,375
- What was I saying?
- 2624
- 03:01:13,458 --> 03:01:15,375
- A sheep went missing once.
- 2625
- 03:01:15,500 --> 03:01:16,958
- No sign of it anywhere.
- 2626
- 03:01:17,083 --> 03:01:19,250
- I thought the jackals got it.
- 2627
- 03:01:19,375 --> 03:01:21,708
- I felt sad and got over it.
- 2628
- 03:01:22,708 --> 03:01:24,833
- One evening, going back to the village,
- 2629
- 03:01:25,125 --> 03:01:27,750
- I heard a cry in the forest.
- 2630
- 03:01:27,875 --> 03:01:30,958
- I walked on, ears pricked.
- And what did I see?
- 2631
- 03:01:31,208 --> 03:01:34,167
- She'd given birth in the forest.
- Twins.
- 2632
- 03:01:34,625 --> 03:01:36,542
- The lambs weren't standing yet.
- 2633
- 03:01:36,667 --> 03:01:39,542
- I picked them up and brought them here.
- 2634
- 03:01:42,333 --> 03:01:43,500
- There.
- 2635
- 03:01:43,625 --> 03:01:44,917
- Listen.
