00:09:35 The others should
00:09:40 Doesn't anyone want to read?
00:09:43 Yes, Nazli.
00:09:47 The rules that regulate social life.
00:09:49 Society needs rules so that
00:09:55 in safety together.
00:09:58 These rules prevent
00:10:00 the individual..
00:10:04 from acting selfishly
00:10:07 In order to live together
00:10:12 in our society
00:10:15 are certain rules
00:10:18 If we don't obey
00:10:22 we must suffer
00:10:26 These rules
00:10:31 may be written or unwritten.
00:10:35 Unwritten rules concern
00:10:38 customs and morals.
00:10:43 They take shape
00:10:48 and are passed down from
00:10:51 and are based on
00:11:04 Ismail. Take
00:11:29 Pinar. Now you continue
00:11:31 Start reading where your
00:11:34 The rest of you...
00:11:36 follow from the book.
00:11:40 I may ask any of you.
00:11:48 - The importance of
00:11:52 Solidarity means loyalty to
00:11:59 individual feelings, interests
00:12:05 The feeling...
00:12:09 encourages...
00:12:12 living together.
00:12:14 People can not live alone
00:12:18 and meet their
00:12:21 That's why
00:12:23 people always
00:12:28 We should help the poor...
00:12:33 as best we can...
00:12:37 either directly or
00:12:53 And help...
00:12:55 does not just
00:13:00 Because... people...
00:13:04 also need moral support.
00:13:09 During hard times..
00:13:11 ...people...
00:13:12 comfort each other..
00:13:17 Everyone is responsible...
00:13:20 of the sorrow of others.
00:13:23 to a certain extent.
00:13:26 They do their best...
00:13:28 to make each other happy.
00:13:31 They experience
00:13:36 and share it.
00:13:52 Shared joy and sorrow...
00:13:54 strengthens...
00:13:57 national unity.
00:14:09 The problems that arise...
00:14:12 Such a bond
00:14:15 is called national unity.
00:19:10 Should we eat plums
00:19:23 You are stepping
00:19:37 What does it say here?
00:19:41 It says what it says.
00:19:52 You can read better if you
00:24:26 Won't its shell break?
00:24:30 - Even if a car goes
00:24:41 They only die if you
00:24:48 They can't turn
00:24:52 - Shall I ride on it, too?
00:24:55 Come on, move.
00:25:00 Come on.
00:25:02 It is slippery.
00:25:14 It really is strong.
00:25:22 Won't it poke its head out?
00:25:26 Won't it poke its legs out?
00:25:29 - If it forgets about you it might.
00:25:40 You must stand still
00:25:52 A thorn pricked me.
00:25:54 Couldn't you find a better place
00:26:01 Stop fidgeting.
00:26:10 Don't move.
00:26:41 What was that?
00:31:20 Father. They are coming.
00:31:33 Where have you been? You
00:31:36 We met a hunter by the
00:31:40 - That must be Huseyin.
00:31:44 What he wants with those tiny birds
00:31:49 Didn't I tell you to come
00:31:55 Don't trample
00:31:57 Come round the other way. You'll
00:32:01 But we cross the field
00:32:03 Don't exaggerate.
00:32:08 You never know son.
00:32:10 Corn fields are dangerous.
00:32:14 On just such an evening
00:32:18 Torhasan was lying
00:32:22 when he heard a rustling
00:32:26 He looked. It was
00:32:30 He was seriously injured
00:32:37 You should avoid the fields.
00:32:42 You should stick to the road.
00:32:44 Has the tailor finished my trousers?
00:32:49 - It's 50 lira. -What?
00:32:54 50 lira?
00:33:00 Did you have the hems put up?
00:33:12 Let him give me 50 lira,
00:33:20 All he did was turn up the
00:33:24 Goodness gracious!
00:33:27 You can't get anything
00:33:31 - Give the child 50 lira.
00:33:37 So will the trouser stay there?
00:33:46 I've got no hair left. I went to
00:33:51 And how much?
00:33:52 50 lira. It's ridiculous.
00:33:55 I won't pay him 50.
00:33:59 As if he is selling a field to me.
00:34:06 When I paid 20 lira
00:34:09 everyone said it was expensive.
00:34:15 When I was in America a dollar
00:34:19 - What is it?
00:34:22 A skinny barber used to
00:34:26 in summer and in Winter.
00:34:29 He'd cut your hair for
00:34:36 He always thanked people.
00:34:39 I never heard him
00:34:42 Now the guy sits in his shop...
00:34:45 and you have to go to him.
00:34:50 Who can afford it?
00:35:35 He just turned up hems and
00:36:37 How time has flown.
00:36:41 That's life.
00:36:43 We were much more
00:36:46 I was young and
00:36:49 I was only 15. But the war was on,
00:36:54 I, who had never been beyond the
00:36:58 found myself in Istanbul. They put us
00:37:04 It must be Haydarpasha Station.
00:37:10 Many guys who like me never had left
00:37:15 A Kurdish boy
00:37:19 I made friends with him.
00:37:23 He was a bit simple
00:37:26 - May God bless him if he's alive.
00:37:29 - What?
00:37:31 What happened then?
00:37:34 There was poverty
00:37:37 We asked for food from the villagers
00:37:43 "Maho" means "nothing".
00:37:46 We asked at other houses
00:38:20 The cherries are over
00:38:23 Not only the cherries,
00:38:29 I was passing under the
00:38:31 and a sound came from above.
00:38:34 I thought so too
00:38:37 but it was a snake.
00:38:39 - Snake? What kind of snake?
00:38:43 What it was doing up
00:38:46 Everything is
00:38:48 Even the walnuts
00:38:52 - The cranes don't come any longer.
00:38:55 - Don't know. The
00:39:00 What happened then, father?
00:39:08 That damned cough. I can't
00:39:13 Where was I?
00:39:19 Yeah. We came to that plain...
00:39:21 and crossed that
00:39:25 and reached Kutulenmare...
00:39:28 near Baghdad.
00:39:32 We suddenly encountered
00:39:37 We defeated them even though
00:39:43 And do you know what
00:39:46 The English commander committed suicide.
00:39:52 But when their reinforcements
00:39:56 We could have won if
00:40:03 Then we were taken prisoner.
00:40:07 They put us
00:40:12 From Bombay we were taken
00:40:16 We worked there as building
00:40:19 I was so weak that..
00:40:22 I couldn't even carry
00:40:25 Even that was too much.
00:40:28 The English guard kept shouting:
00:40:34 Actually, if we could feed
00:40:37 wipe out the English.
00:40:44 Most of us died of
00:40:57 - Those damned jackals are
00:41:01 They're cunning creatures.
00:41:04 They must be hungry to
00:41:12 Whether it was luck or fate
00:41:18 I came back safely
00:41:21 but I had nothing.
00:41:24 What's there to do?
00:41:50 Perhaps it would have been better
00:41:53 You returned and then what?
00:41:57 It's all in vain.
00:42:00 I thought you
00:42:03 What a way to talk, Saffet.
00:42:06 How can you think that way?
00:42:08 Homesickness is a
00:42:11 Even if you starve
00:42:14 Look at Gobak Ismail.
00:42:18 - Aunt. To be buried
00:42:21 or not, why should
00:42:26 No, you are young
00:42:31 and far from death. That's why
00:42:39 What do you mean?
00:42:41 When death approaches you
00:42:46 Otherwise it is unbearable.
00:42:51 It is so difficult to be far
00:42:54 and everywhwere you look
00:42:58 - That's true. I don't even
00:43:02 - Who knows how I'd feel?
00:43:07 Whereever you go, it is..
00:43:12 But still we dream about..
00:43:19 Look! That dry tree over there
00:43:21 but it still
00:43:25 I believe that when we die
00:43:28 life one way or another,
00:43:32 In India my mother used to
00:43:37 I used to freeze with awe.
00:43:44 - The thing called telepathy is..
00:43:50 If your spirit is elsewhere you
00:43:55 Maybe it's better this way.
00:43:57 Why better?
00:43:59 I don't want to stay here
00:44:04 While I was in the army
00:44:06 People always
00:44:10 I think these are all in vain.
00:44:16 What else is there to do?
00:44:18 - That's the law of nature.
00:44:24 Evolution.
00:44:27 We shouldn't waste our lives.
00:44:31 Grandfather has worked for
00:44:35 Yes. That's right.
00:44:36 But what
00:44:40 And what else do we do
00:44:44 - We are so inadequate, and
00:44:48 It is not likely to finish.
00:44:53 Many legends arose from Mesopotamia,
00:45:00 You were in some really
00:45:05 Is it raining?
00:45:09 I don't think so.
00:45:10 - I felt a drop on my hand.
00:45:13 What?
00:45:18 Yes. That's right.
00:45:21 The cradle of civilization.
00:45:25 "La barceau de la
00:45:32 Then, Babylon for instance.
00:45:35 Have you seen Babylon?
00:45:38 Babylon is very important.
00:45:40 That is where Alexander
00:45:42 He conquered the world from
00:45:46 Dad, tell us how did
00:45:50 - Tell us about the elephants.
00:46:00 Alexander comes
00:46:03 On the other side of the river
00:46:10 Alexander first
00:46:13 and later splits
00:46:15 And marches down
00:46:19 Poros' army was very strong
00:46:53 Of course there were plenty
00:46:59 The first one was at..
00:47:04 Then at Pineros, which is
00:47:08 somewhere around Iskenderun.
00:47:11 And then the third
00:47:15 northeast of Mosul.
00:47:19 the one against Poros.
00:47:22 I met a man from Iskenderun,
00:47:27 He was amazed
00:47:35 But, didn't he win all the
00:47:41 No one remembers
00:47:45 Only Alexander.
00:47:48 Of course
00:47:51 but 2300 years ago
00:47:55 and winning all battles under
00:48:01 Do you think it is easy
00:48:04 to lead an army all that
00:48:06 Sultan Selim couldn't
00:48:09 because his army
00:48:11 - But why did he do it?
00:48:17 He invaded
00:48:19 That's enough
00:48:21 - What's so special
00:48:26 - People who don't know the
00:48:28 We have many great commanders too.
00:48:32 Or Urukagina, that
00:48:38 Urumachine?
00:48:44 What kind of name is that?
00:48:49 He appeared when the priests
00:49:01 And about invasions.
00:49:04 Alexander expanded civilization.
00:49:07 He built new cities, and...
00:49:09 brought cultures together.
00:49:13 The Persians had been
00:49:17 constantly attacking them.
00:49:21 First he dealt with the attacks.
00:49:24 He wanted to conquer
00:50:42 Mother.
00:50:44 Get down, mother.
00:50:48 Get down.
00:50:56 He reached the Gedrozia
00:51:00 It was a terrible place
00:51:03 Only 12.000 men survived
00:51:08 Some of them died of thirst
00:51:12 and some of starvation.
00:51:15 They were so hungry
00:51:20 Exhausted they struggle
00:51:26 Then they saw flocks of crows
00:51:33 They thought that the crows
00:51:38 After they struggled
00:51:41 they saw something like
00:51:46 First they thought it
00:51:51 Suddenly they saw
00:51:53 water in the middle
00:51:57 One soldier walked
00:52:01 - Son! Forget about other
00:52:04 and let's worry about us.
00:52:08 I'm still grieving for
00:52:13 That's right.
00:52:15 But there is
00:52:18 He was always reckless and
00:52:28 He insisted on going away
00:52:33 And he loved you a lot, Saffet.
00:52:37 It was my mother who
00:52:42 He wasn't here
00:52:45 He visited us once
00:52:51 - Am I right?
00:52:55 You want to go, too.
00:52:58 You've turned out to
00:53:01 You still haven't got
00:53:04 I can't understand
00:53:08 from the registry office?
00:53:13 I was condemned to work
00:53:17 - I know the registrar.
00:53:21 Yes, he is really
00:53:27 If you can't get along with
00:53:32 He said you're here for the sake
00:53:36 otherwise I would have
00:53:38 I told him he overestimated..
00:53:44 - And what did he say?
00:53:52 We arranged all possible
00:53:57 Either you were fired
00:54:01 You went into the army but it
00:54:05 What else can we do?
00:54:08 What do you want?
00:55:04 I want to tell you this.
00:55:11 You are fed up with me
00:55:15 I think I've got no
00:55:18 My youth is being wasted
00:55:24 I've got no home,
00:55:28 I wasted my best years
00:55:33 My manhood and my heart are
00:55:38 Let me add this, too.
00:55:40 I thought of nothing but
00:55:45 On that particular morning..
00:55:47 I felt there were deeper ties
00:55:52 There was the scent of
00:55:57 That day I felt
00:55:59 I saw the pines
00:56:04 So early in the morning,
00:56:08 only stray dogs out in the
00:56:11 I love these quiet mornings,
00:56:16 I don't understand the
00:56:20 I find them alien and
00:56:24 Now tell me.
00:56:28 to go to some place where..
00:57:31 Mother do you remember
00:57:33 when I was at highschool we were
00:57:37 One night he suddenly came.
00:57:42 We were eating the
00:57:47 We used to secretly collect
00:57:53 We were eating porridge when
00:57:58 It was him.
00:58:03 Well dressed as usual.
00:58:06 He came inside..
00:58:07 and saw the porridge
00:58:11 Turning up his nose he said..
00:58:14 "What's that? Are you
00:58:17 Emin! Stop it!
00:58:24 Whatever.
00:58:26 He was an interesting man.
00:58:29 He lived and died.
00:58:31 without ever getting tired,
00:58:34 - You have contributed,
00:58:37 You had a channel built and now
00:58:49 - I don't care what the
00:58:55 Whenever I go
00:59:00 past that
00:59:05 Didn't your field happen to be
00:59:10 Wasn't your goal to bring
00:59:13 Didn't it make all
00:59:20 A channel with no water.
00:59:24 Even this small sapling has...
00:59:29 wonders of nature
00:59:32 hidden in it. Look at
00:59:34 A new branch every year. This
00:59:39 So what?
00:59:48 Nature holds the answer
00:59:53 You have to feel yourself
00:59:58 Your father
01:00:00 Let's get
01:00:04 Not everyone is lucky
01:00:07 Luck? You call this luck?
01:00:11 What else could have
01:00:16 You feel strong.
01:00:17 But the reality is that you
01:00:25 There is nothing
01:00:30 Maybe he was right.
01:00:34 - When your father left...
01:00:38 You played together
01:00:41 You have laughed
01:00:44 But I haven't once heard you
01:00:48 People should have a little
01:00:52 How can you be so
01:00:56 But Saffet, what about..
01:00:58 Why I'm the only one
01:01:02 Aren't you his
01:01:07 Why am I the only one
01:01:10 - Saffet, son..
01:01:14 responsibilty like
01:01:18 Certainly not.
01:01:20 What makes you
01:01:23 Maybe I'm ignorant.
01:01:27 But what use is knowledge
01:01:32 It's not enough
01:01:35 Did you learn all that
01:01:38 Now this is absurd.
01:01:43 It's easy to talk
01:01:47 I started with nothing.
01:01:51 I was determined to study
01:01:54 I went to school on
01:01:58 I know what I went through.
01:02:01 I worked in the fields.
01:02:06 Do you?
01:02:15 I worked hard on my own
01:02:19 My back saw its first
01:02:21 I learned English by myself,
01:02:26 And how did I do all this?
01:02:29 football matches all night.
01:02:34 Dressed in fancy clothes he was
01:02:38 Wasn't he?
01:02:54 Yes, maybe I live
01:02:59 and my best friends
01:03:01 I don't believe
01:03:05 Only in nature.
01:03:07 Your father thought
01:03:11 He used to tell people
01:04:06 Isn't there any corns left?
01:04:24 Dad. Shall we go and
01:05:52 Why do you stare at me like that?
