00:00:08 I don't know what reminded me.
00:00:15 Maybe it was unfinished homework
00:00:20 It was a beautiful autumn morning
00:00:25 School started at 7 a.m.
00:00:37 OCTOBER 1980
00:00:44 -Good morning.
00:00:47 -Good morning!
00:00:51 Good morning, everyone!
00:00:56 -Good morning!
00:01:00 Be seated!
00:01:09 Composition.
00:01:14 Children,
00:01:18 Writing is a set of rules.
00:01:21 Not the game
00:01:26 This is the subject of the essay.
00:01:29 How did you spend
00:01:32 That is the question.
00:01:34 What do we do?
00:01:36 Expound on the question.
00:01:38 Maximum length one page.
00:01:41 Introduction. Body.
00:01:44 Conclusion.
00:01:46 And we never forget
00:01:51 What rules?
00:01:54 -We abide by spelling rules.
00:02:00 Here is a mistake
00:02:03 You write "two"
00:02:06 If it means "also" spell it "too"
00:02:10 We must remember...
00:02:12 I have toys too.
00:02:16 You have toys too.
00:02:19 He has toys too.
00:02:22 We two have toys too.
00:02:25 Start writing.
00:02:37 It was a hard question.
00:02:39 It was a hard question
00:02:45 Much had happened.
00:02:49 It was my last childhood summer.
00:03:01 Yilmaz!
00:03:03 Why aren't you writing?
00:03:06 What is there to think about?
00:03:08 Shame on you!
00:03:12 What can't he do?
00:03:14 He can't write two lines.
00:03:17 What can't he do?
00:03:19 He can't write two lines.
00:03:22 written by
00:03:37 I couldn't.
00:03:38 I couldn't do
00:03:41 I was only able to write one word.
00:03:45 Now, years later,
00:03:49 I wonder
00:05:59 directed by
00:06:15 JUNE 1980
00:06:53 -Father?
00:06:56 Don't bandits raid
00:06:59 -Sure. Every single night.
00:07:04 -Be killed, I suppose.
00:07:07 Not every night.
00:07:11 How can bandits get in?
00:07:14 -They're outlaws, after all.
00:07:21 -Any avalanches this season?
00:07:42 Hello, Mr. Nezih!
00:07:45 This is Latif.
00:07:47 Are you trying to ruin me?
00:07:50 Can't you send me a better film?
00:07:53 The whole audience fell asleep!
00:07:58 Has the city gone up in smoke?
00:08:03 Who? Yilmaz Guney? All right.
00:08:07 I hope he doesn't get beaten up.
00:08:09 When that happens
00:08:14 Hello? Hello? The line's dead!
00:08:19 -What happened, Sezgin?
00:08:23 Move it.
00:08:27 -Is the tail fixed?
00:08:31 That won't do.
00:08:32 Ours up, and Ankara's drooping.
00:08:36 -The sign is most important.
00:08:40 If you peddle garbage,
00:09:05 Remo, play somewhere else.
00:09:10 Little bastards!
00:09:18 Mother, don't bother going.
00:09:22 Mind your own business!
00:09:26 -Let's ask Grandfather for money.
00:09:31 -Where are you going?
00:09:36 Chicks came? On their own?
00:09:50 -What are you folks up to?
00:09:54 -Chicks?
00:09:56 If they were cheap hens,
00:09:59 Kino, I'm busy, you know.
00:10:02 Come on, Emin. One more spin.
00:10:05 -Only one more for today!
00:10:47 What can you do?
00:10:49 I'll have to settle for what's left.
00:10:57 Nobody told me
00:10:59 What happened to friendship?
00:11:03 I might have bought two whole crates.
00:11:13 -Durmus, abi, can we go now?
00:11:18 They won't catch on for months.
00:11:21 -Get ready.
00:11:26 JUSTICE PARTY
00:11:30 -Hey, what's that?
00:11:33 -A bird or what?
00:11:37 -It's a dove.
00:11:40 What's a dove doing
00:11:44 -Why not?
00:11:46 It's mine.
00:11:48 Get rid of it!
00:11:49 No. It's my logo.
00:11:53 Sezgin, get rid of the bird!
00:11:56 How do I explain the bird
00:12:01 Veysi, remove the bird!
00:12:03 You do it!
00:12:07 Why did the mayor
00:12:10 If I drew Latif and Sezgin
00:12:13 nobody would say,
00:12:18 They wanted one horse,
00:12:20 They wanted its tail to look down
00:12:24 Ecevit's bird? No, my bird!
00:12:31 Stop that right now, you bastards!
00:12:35 Rotten bastards!
00:12:38 Ecevit's bird, my foot!
00:12:41 It's my bird!
00:12:46 Where's the bus, Mayor?
00:12:48 How do I know, Siti?
00:12:51 -Father, can I go meet my friends?
00:13:07 Merhaba, guys.
00:13:10 It's coming. The bus is coming!
00:13:28 Where is your report card?
00:13:32 No getting off without top marks.
00:13:34 -He's got them.
00:13:39 Now you deserve a great holiday.
00:13:43 Good boy!
00:13:45 -Merhaba, guys!
00:13:48 -Welcome.
00:13:56 -Yilo, we got some chicks.
00:13:59 Look.
00:14:01 Come on. Look at them at home.
00:14:04 -I bring greetings from Diyarbakir.
00:14:12 Greetings, comrades.
00:14:15 -Kino, did you read those books?
00:15:06 What do we do now, Guner?
00:15:09 -We'll see.
00:15:12 Welcome to our city.
00:15:14 Some call me Crazy Emin
00:15:19 Crazy Emin? My name is Tuba.
00:15:22 -What? Tugba?
00:15:25 There is no need.
00:15:30 Sounds like dessert.
00:15:35 Wow, you're tall.
00:15:38 Give him money to get rid of him.
00:15:40 Get rid of me? Why,
00:15:44 Know a place to drink tea?
00:15:46 -The Municipal Garden.
00:15:49 -Wonderful!
00:15:53 Did you come here to drink tea?
00:15:56 The red carpet treatment!
00:16:01 God help us!
00:16:02 -Was Rifat's military base green?
00:16:08 Which trees there? Any poplars?
00:16:10 Which are poplars?
00:16:13 Yes, their leaves rustle in the wind
00:16:18 Go on.
00:16:19 Rifat loved the rustling.
00:16:23 -They lulled him to sleep as a child.
00:16:28 Let him eat, Siti.
00:16:43 Come over here, my boy.
00:16:47 This meal is
00:16:51 -Welcome, Yilo.
00:16:55 Yilmaz has his work cut out.
00:16:59 If he was as lazy as the others...
00:17:01 I get top grades.
00:17:03 -A's in nine out of eleven classes.
00:17:06 These two barely cope even here.
00:17:11 Aykut failed in four classes.
00:17:17 Grandopa, can we have meat?
00:17:20 Sure, meat is coming right up.
00:17:25 We have guests, master!
00:17:34 -Welcome.
00:17:37 -Please join us.
00:17:42 I told them you'd help out.
00:17:46 This is Tuba. Without 'g'.
00:17:49 -Guner was exiled here, sir.
00:17:54 Exiled, promoted by transfer,
00:17:58 Want to freshen up first?
00:18:01 -Fero, get some tea.
00:18:08 -I don't drink tea, thanks.
00:18:13 Thanks.
00:18:15 I'd like some too.
00:18:20 -Welcome.
00:18:23 -Welcome.
00:18:25 -Welcome.
00:18:27 -Welcome.
00:18:29 -Welcome.
00:18:31 -So, you were assigned here?
00:18:35 The district leader is on leave
00:18:39 He arranged to be on sick leave.
00:18:44 What will your position be?
00:18:47 The new director of library.
00:18:51 -Library?
00:18:54 -Library!
00:18:57 What an honour.
00:18:59 Congratulations, Guner bey.
00:19:04 Why didn't you tell me, Guner abi?
00:19:10 Finally we have been blessed
00:19:15 And the tallest director
00:19:20 Congratulations.
00:19:22 Thanks.
00:19:28 If we only had a library,
00:19:32 -Right?
00:19:35 You don't have one?
00:19:38 Afraid not.
00:19:40 It's the first time it is mentioned.
00:20:29 Tuba. Tuba.
00:20:33 That really is a wonderful name.
00:21:08 But you haven't written
00:21:12 Couldn't you have replied just once?
00:22:11 How are you, Hadji Zubeyir?
00:22:16 Bit of gas, but I'm fine otherwise.
00:22:19 I wish you good health.
00:22:37 Fadile, could you take this inside?
00:22:40 Certainly. No problem.
00:22:49 I brought you something.
00:23:05 Read it.
00:23:09 The shackles of longing...
00:23:12 ...chafe...
00:23:15 ...my heart.
00:23:17 -What?
00:23:21 How was Diyarbakir?
00:23:23 Fine, Hadji Zubeyir.
00:23:28 How is school going?
00:23:30 -I failed two courses.
00:23:37 I failed at school.
00:23:45 You aren't mixed up in politics,
00:23:48 No, Hadji Zubeyir. Not really.
00:23:51 Well, don't get involved.
00:23:56 Fine, Hadji Zubeyir.
00:23:59 Good, my boy.
00:24:02 Now don't get mixed up in politics,
00:24:06 Don't get involved
00:24:11 Would you excuse me?
00:24:19 Don't get involved.
00:24:28 Why has master sent you for?
00:24:30 I don't know.
00:24:36 Emin abi! Wait, Emin abi!
00:24:39 -What's up, you good-for-nothing?
00:24:44 The mayor called. I'm busy.
00:24:46 -Mahmut wants to talk to you.
00:24:50 -Come with me!
00:24:52 -Yilo, wait.
00:24:54 -How are you, Brainy Servet?
00:24:58 How's it going, revolutionaries?
00:25:11 -We have a job for you.
00:25:14 Our organization's third anniversary
00:25:18 What's that to me?
00:25:20 -You have to write something for us.
00:25:23 Something big, Emin.
00:25:26 -Big?
00:25:30 -On Mount Vatan.
00:25:33 Yes. Big letters. DFKD.
00:25:37 -On Mount Vatan?
00:25:39 -In big letters.
00:25:42 Who would write
00:25:45 You owe it to your people.
00:25:47 -I don't owe anything.
00:25:49 I fixed vizonteles and painted signs.
00:25:53 I painted Latif a horse.
00:25:56 He's a fascist.
00:25:58 Fascist or revolutionary,
00:26:03 This one of Joseph Tironki
00:26:07 The bushy moustache
00:26:10 It is your duty.
00:26:12 If they catch you,
00:26:18 You're a jerk yourself.
00:26:22 Just a minute.
00:26:24 Don't let him look at me that way.
00:26:28 -Look somewhere else.
00:26:33 Emin, you're the only one
00:26:39 It's a big deal.
00:26:42 A gigantic sign.
00:26:45 Just imagine!
00:26:49 An F of that size
00:26:55 Of course, Emin.
00:26:59 D has a tricky curve.
00:27:03 Bring us some tea.
00:27:05 What do you say, mayor?
00:27:07 -You're the politician.
00:27:12 -Would you like anything else?
00:27:17 -You called for me, master?
00:27:21 Come here, rascal.
00:27:26 Get yourself something.
00:27:28 -Emin, Guner has an idea.
00:27:32 Building a library.
00:27:35 Building a library?
00:27:39 In the garden when we learned
00:27:43 But I didn't say anything.
00:27:45 Sure, we can do it.
00:27:50 We'll find one.
00:27:54 We'll build a library.
00:27:58 Of course we will.
00:28:01 -At home.
00:28:03 Tuba.
00:28:05 I asked you that, didn't I?
00:28:16 Don't worry, son.
00:28:18 Your father will take care of it.
00:28:22 I'm putting Asiye on.
00:28:29 Hello. Yes, this is Asiye.
00:28:33 Very well, thank you.
00:28:38 I hope you are well.
00:28:41 Me too.
00:28:44 Me too.
00:28:47 Father will handle that.
00:28:52 Hello?
00:28:54 Hello?
00:28:58 The line's gone dead.
00:29:03 -Latif bey! Latif bey!
00:29:06 You still haven't arranged
00:29:09 Am I the chief of staff?
00:29:16 Welcome!
00:29:19 Welcome!
00:29:21 Asiye!
00:29:24 They're here again. Every night.
00:29:27 -Is "Dallas" on yet?
00:29:29 Sue Ellen promised to wait for Basri.
00:29:32 She has good taste in men!
00:29:40 We'll be late.
00:29:45 We are late.
00:29:48 How are you, Aunt Suheyla?
00:29:57 Put on the heat. We're freezing.
00:30:02 -The boiler is going full steam.
00:30:24 Where's Auntie?
00:30:27 Mother Siti?
00:30:31 -Why not?
00:30:59 Yilo?
00:31:03 Green as can be.
00:31:05 -Any poplars?
00:31:08 -With big leaves?
00:31:12 Some poplars have huge leaves.
00:31:15 They tremble when the wind blows
00:31:19 Mother, could you keep it down?
00:31:28 I was translating a book.
00:31:33 For six months I was in and
00:31:37 They read it and released me.
00:31:40 -Case closed?
00:31:43 The charges were not dropped.
00:31:49 Don't we need books for the library?
00:31:53 -Of course.
00:31:59 Good question!
00:32:02 And we have to find you a house,
00:32:07 An even better question!
00:32:10 By the way, there is one.
00:32:13 Casim,
00:32:17 Yes. It's unoccupied.
00:32:19 But it sure needs a good repair.
00:32:43 Thank you, Ceyhan.
00:32:45 -Good night.
00:32:52 Guner,
00:32:55 That's where the bed is.
00:32:57 Your laid-back attitude
00:33:03 -See any famous people there?
00:33:07 -Yes or no?
00:33:09 -Who?
00:33:12 Ekrem Bora?
00:33:13 -The one with the big hair.
00:33:16 -No, the hero.
00:33:19 We saw him singing
00:33:23 It was a set menu.
00:33:25 -A set what?
00:33:29 Under the photos of the artists.
00:33:34 -What bugs?
00:33:37 -What do they do?
00:33:39 -Folklore?
00:33:42 Two people on stage alternate
00:33:47 -Yilo, know this one?
00:33:50 Dal kalkar kartal tartar
00:33:54 Dal kalkar kartal tartar
00:33:57 No, that's wrong.
00:34:01 -Not "kalkar". It's "tartar".
00:34:05 -"Tartar"!
00:34:15 Tuba's family's furniture
00:34:26 Good news, Aysel.
00:34:29 Let's go straight to the house.
00:34:34 Careful. Lift the latch.
00:34:38 Careful, careful.
00:34:47 My television!
00:34:49 The road was full of potholes.
00:34:54 -Aysel, Aysel!
00:35:00 Don't worry. We'll fix it.
00:35:01 -Emin, what happened?
00:35:05 The vizontele is ruined too.
00:35:08 The damn driver
00:35:12 I can't thank you enough
00:35:16 -Where would we be without you?
00:35:20 No need to thank me.
00:35:23 -Aysel?
00:35:25 -Can we do our hair later?
00:35:30 -Promise?
00:35:34 Isn't that Mother Siti?
00:35:37 -Yes, that's her.
00:35:40 To her son's grave.
00:35:44 -The one who died in Cyprus?
00:35:50 There lies vizontele, not the dead.
00:35:53 -A what?
00:35:56 Rifat is actually buried in Cyprus.
00:35:59 The last time Siti saw her son was
00:36:08 She was desperate to get him back.
00:36:11 Then she took the vizontele
00:36:20 Nobody could understand it.
00:36:22 It was as if she'd lost her mind.
00:36:28 She held a memorial service up there.
00:36:34 Did she bury the TV there?
00:36:36 Not the TV, the vizontele.
00:36:40 When a disaster happens on TV
00:36:44 It's become a saying in these parts.
00:36:47 Emin abi,
00:36:51 For crying out loud!
00:36:53 Don't you understand?
00:36:57 You promised.
00:37:01 -Tomorrow?
00:37:03 You're kidding.
00:37:04 All right. I'll do it.
00:37:07 If I'm caught,
00:37:10 You will not.
00:37:11 This is a political statement.
00:37:15 There's no point in painting a bird
00:37:25 What happened?
00:37:27 I'm playing and piping folk songs
00:37:31 That's not her favourite song.
00:37:34 It's mine.
00:37:36 The same old song is a bore.
00:37:43 He's playing folk songs at a shrine!
00:37:46 Let him do it.
00:37:48 The fool claims
00:37:52 -Father?
00:37:55 -What are you doing here?
00:38:04 You'll do it, won't you?
00:38:07 All right, I'll do it.
00:38:09 But I need a lot of whitewash.
00:38:14 Look, Ahmet!
00:38:17 You have three children.
00:38:20 Their mother is dead.
00:38:24 Find a job.
00:38:27 Stop drifting around.
00:38:31 Look at yourself!
00:38:34 Clean yourself up!
00:38:36 You've disgraced us all.
00:38:40 I haven't disgraced anyone.
00:38:47 Unless you have a problem
00:38:50 Beliefs?
00:38:53 -I've dedicated myself to Allah.
00:39:00 Dedicated to Allah!
00:39:07 He's dedicated to Allah!
00:39:10 Because of you,
00:39:15 Says you!
00:39:17 You could drink the whole town
00:39:21 Yesterday's drunk
00:39:25 Sit down! Ahmet!
00:39:28 Ahmet!
00:39:30 Ahmet!
00:39:32 Ahmet!
00:39:37 -Veysi?
00:39:39 -You had three sacks of lime.
00:39:42 -Behind the sacks.
00:39:44 -See three cement bags?
00:39:47 -Behind them.
00:39:50 -Think I stole them?
00:39:53 -Did I say that?
00:39:55 I asked about the bags.
00:40:14 D. F. K. D.
00:40:18 Bravo. It's wonderful.
00:40:23 -Like what?
00:40:26 Okay.
00:40:27 Just look at it.
00:40:31 -Good idea.
00:40:33 -After the gift?
00:40:36 -We'll discuss it later.
00:40:39 Did Emin do that?
00:40:43 Let's go, Kinyas.
00:40:52 Comrades.
00:41:07 Is it true?
00:41:11 On the phone he implied,
00:41:16 -That was the gist of it.
00:41:23 -Hello, gentlemen.
00:41:25 -Hi.
00:41:28 Where are you off to, mayor?
00:41:31 We plan to open a new library
00:41:34 -Yet another municipal service.
00:41:38 I wasn't aware
00:41:43 That's nonsense, sir. Look around.
00:41:48 Don't worry, Latif. No one is
00:41:55 Your days in office
00:41:58 You're sure the answer is no.
00:42:01 It's impossible. My son's marrying.
00:42:05 I wish them happiness.
00:42:09 Does he have a son?
00:42:11 Rustem,
00:42:14 Sorry, you know my father.
00:42:22 -Is that final?
00:42:26 Go to hell, you bastards!
00:42:29 Calm down, Mayor.
00:42:32 They were born jackasses
00:42:36 You were going to build a barn.
00:42:42 -You think we can fix it up?
00:42:46 Don't worry.
00:42:50 It has great potential.
00:42:55 Emin!
00:42:57 What happened, Emin?
00:43:00 The roof is rotten after all.
00:43:03 At least the foundation is solid.
00:43:06 You scared the shit out of me.
00:43:08 He'll do what he says.
00:43:24 -You're clear on your mission?
00:43:28 -Any second thoughts?
00:43:31 You've scouted the surroundings?
00:43:33 Yes.
00:43:35 -Who's no revolutionary?
00:43:37 -Kinyas!
00:43:40 Here is your final mission.
00:43:44 Take this message
00:43:47 Don't let the had ji see you.
00:43:49 I know.
00:43:55 Off you go.
00:43:57 Comrades! Comrade Mahmut!
00:44:00 -What happened, Nafiz?
00:44:03 -Who?
00:44:05 Cahit and his gang? Run!
00:44:20 What are the revolutionaries up to?
00:44:29 They made it DEKD.
00:44:32 Low scoundrels!
00:44:35 Come on!
00:44:40 Out of the way!
00:44:47 -What kind of an E is that?
00:44:50 There's going to be a fight for sure!
00:44:53 Should I fix the E at least?
00:44:57 It doesn't look right.
00:45:02 Come on out, you social fascists!
00:45:05 Come on out!
00:45:10 -This your idea of revolutionism?
00:45:13 You changed the F!
00:45:17 Is it your private property?
00:45:21 Is that so?
00:45:23 We had planned to write something
00:45:28 All we had to do
00:45:31 What are you smirking at, prick?
00:45:34 You're the prick.
00:45:36 Let's compromise.
00:45:38 I'll do a E for 15 days,
00:45:41 The cops will erase it.
00:45:43 -You'll change it!
00:45:46 -You will.
00:45:48 You'll change it.
00:45:50 -You fuck off!
00:45:52 He said "feck", not "fuck".
00:46:24 Fadile abla! Fadile abla!
00:46:29 Fadile abla!
00:46:34 Fadile abla!
00:46:42 -What is it, Kino?
00:46:44 Mahmut abi can't come.
00:46:48 Why?
00:46:49 They beat up the social fascists.
00:46:52 -Who?
00:46:56 -Was Mahmut hurt?
00:47:00 But they say mayor is trying
00:47:05 Fadile!
00:47:10 15 days E, 15 days F
00:47:12 They flipped out.
00:47:14 He hasn't shut up since yesterday.
00:47:17 Emin, that's enough.
00:47:22 Well, they're just kids,
00:47:26 Be generous and sort this out
00:47:30 Most are from leading families.
00:47:33 Yes.
00:47:38 What are they thinking?
00:47:43 Both the local small-town jokers
00:47:49 Who do they think they are?
00:47:54 They want a revolution
00:47:58 They want socialism. By Allah!
00:48:01 If it was good
00:48:04 You're so right.
00:48:08 Not even empty.
00:48:13 Does the state give us
00:48:20 If we can afford it, yes.
00:48:23 The tea is lovely,
00:48:26 -Don't let it get cold.
00:48:30 Yes, it's wonderful.
00:48:36 To drink yourself.
00:48:40 Guner bey, stir in the sugar.
00:48:44 Too sweet.
00:48:45 The sugar around here
00:48:57 -You're the library director?
00:49:02 -What kind of books do you have?
00:49:06 Then there's nothing
00:49:10 Even you will do
00:49:13 But we'll collect lots of books.
00:49:16 -Everyone is sure to help.
00:49:20 I'll let them go this time.
00:49:23 But if they're brought to me again
00:49:28 Understand?
00:49:30 -I understand. Thank you.
00:49:34 -Let's go then.
00:49:39 Goodbye.
00:49:41 -You'll pay for that!
00:49:44 Don't let it happen again!
00:49:47 -They beat me most. For my letters.
00:49:51 What were you doing
00:49:54 You wretch!
00:49:57 -Not in front of my friends.
00:50:00 -I'm the association vice-chairman!
00:00:06 Get to work, go on.
00:00:23 What did PM Demirel say?
00:00:26 Is there a box we didn't open?
00:00:31 The things people won!
00:00:33 Once we were touring America.
00:00:39 You know him? Sure you do.
00:00:41 He was just a kid then.
00:00:44 He asked me in English
00:00:47 He said, "Open the box."
00:00:50 And he won a guitar!
00:00:58 What about Zeki Muren?
00:01:00 There's not a trace of loyalty
00:01:07 In those violet eyes.
00:01:15 Okay, that's enough.
00:01:19 I didn't open the box.
00:01:23 One's not enough.
00:01:27 All right then, go get an Aygaz oven!
00:01:30 Take it.
00:01:32 -It's a deal.
00:01:35 Is there really
00:01:39 Where? In there?
00:01:42 No idea. I was looking at the boxes
00:01:46 I watched him instead
00:01:50 Naked and half fish.
00:01:54 There's some candy floss over there.
00:01:57 Let's have a look.
00:02:01 Ladies and gentlemen!
00:02:03 On leave from the land of Atlantis.
00:02:07 And here just inside this tent.
00:02:10 For a limited time only,
00:02:14 A real live mermaid!
00:02:17 Right here!
00:02:19 That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
00:02:49 Allah hath wrought wonders!
00:03:03 Not my type. Too thin.
00:03:06 A mermaid should have meat
00:03:12 Let's go.
00:03:34 In a town that starts
00:03:37 good things happened too.
00:03:39 But they didn't last long.
00:04:03 Very funny!
00:04:06 Prick!
00:04:13 Tuba? What are you doing here?
00:04:16 -Nothing.
00:04:19 I think you should help paint.
00:04:22 -How?
00:04:25 Hold on.
00:04:29 -I'm cranking it up.
00:04:37 -Here you go.
00:04:42 -My daughter'll do the first stroke.
00:04:52 Well, that settles it.
00:04:58 GOVERNMENT FORMED
00:05:01 Praise to the Lord.
00:05:05 Saved from the communists!
00:05:07 We're in power now, aren't we?

00:05:40 -I ran home.
00:05:43 I didn't see anyone.
00:05:45 I didn't even see their faces.
00:05:48 Did they come from outside?
00:05:50 We were playing cards

00:06:07 "My dear friend.
00:06:11 Who knows,
00:06:15 My friend, the state has appointed me
00:06:19 ...to a town with no library.
00:06:21 That's nothing new.
00:06:23 I was once a teacher in a village.
00:06:26 With no school.
00:06:29 But we're pitching in
00:06:33 I'm sending a photo taken of us
00:06:36 one cold Ankara night.
00:06:38 It may jog your memory. Sakarya St.
00:06:45 It'll be fine here.
00:06:49 But we've got no books.
00:06:51 I was wondering
00:06:56 My friend, we need books.
00:07:00 Warmest re gards, Guner Sernikli.
00:07:15 WELCOME, MR. PRESIDENT,
00:07:19 Welcome, Mr. Chairman.
00:07:21 -All ready, Sezgin? The posters up?
00:07:25 -Our prime minister will sit here.
00:07:29 He should be given
00:07:32 It would be more appropriate.
00:07:35 We'll seat him here.
00:07:37 Quickly! You sit down too!
00:07:40 lmagine he's asking you
00:07:44 Sub-Provincial Vice Chairman
00:07:47 I kiss your hand, Prime Minister.
00:07:49 Bravo! Bravo! That was great.
00:07:52 Now he asks your name.
00:07:54 -Zeki Bayar.
00:07:58 Say, "Zeki Bayar,
00:08:02 Zeki Bayar, Your Excellency.
00:08:03 That's it.
00:08:08 -Now he asks you your name.
00:08:12 I just wish your name was
00:08:16 -That would do too.
00:08:20 As you wish, Prime Minister.
00:08:23 What's this?
00:08:26 Cover it with underwear or something.
00:08:29 The prime minister shouldn't see this..
00:08:32 Give it to me.
00:08:35 Give it to me.
00:08:39 -Just grind it down, would you?
00:08:46 It's almost finished.
00:08:48 That's right.
00:08:54 -It really turned out great.
00:08:58 -Didn't it, Casim?
00:09:02 We've got a director and a building.
00:09:06 Now all we need are some books.
00:09:09 Guner bey, Reis bey!
00:09:12 -Take a look at the paper.
00:09:15 Turn to page three.
00:09:25 My letter's been published.
00:09:28 In its entirety.
00:09:31 The state has appointed me
00:09:34 ...in a town without a library.
00:09:38 It's all here. And they added the
00:09:43 -A friend of yours?
00:09:47 A true friend.
00:10:02 It maybe a library but
00:10:06 Either no one read about it
00:10:09 or something terrible has happened.
00:10:19 It's a library.
00:10:22 Sure, they're bound to.
00:10:34 -I'm switching them on.
00:10:37 PUBLIC LIBRARY
00:10:41 -How is it?
00:10:44 It's wonderful, Emin.
00:10:47 Maybe one day
00:10:50 Yes, of course we will.
00:10:53 Let's go. Your mother'll worry.
00:10:56 Can I stay a little longer?
00:11:03 All right.
00:11:06 -But don't be too late.
00:11:09 Don't worry, Guner abi.
00:11:26 -Put me down here, will you?
00:11:29 -Yes.
00:11:35 -Like this?
00:11:58 -What a bushy moustache you have.
00:12:02 -No.
00:12:06 Isn't it hard to eat soup?
00:12:09 No,
00:12:21 Didn't you ever marry?
00:12:25 No, I've never married.
00:12:27 No one would marry me.
00:12:29 -Why not?
00:12:36 Ever had a sweetheart?
00:12:42 Yes, a long time ago.
00:12:43 A foreigner called Christine.
00:12:46 Written with a C back then.
00:12:50 The girls around here
00:13:00 -Aren't you going to ask me?
00:13:03 -About my legs.
00:13:07 It's the first thing everyone asks.
00:13:10 The first thing people do
00:13:13 Anyway, I can't look into your eyes
00:13:19 Why?
00:13:21 Well, you're so beautiful.
00:13:24 It's better for a beautiful person
00:13:28 Beauty's more comfortable with beauty
00:13:36 You have lovely eyes too.
00:13:38 My eyes? Which one?
00:13:50 Give me your hand.
00:13:52 What? My hand?
00:14:07 Now what?
00:14:08 What do you mean?
00:14:10 My hand.
00:14:12 What about your hand?
00:14:15 You wanted my hand for...
00:14:18 I see.
00:14:24 Well, okay then.
00:14:26 I'll go get some nuts for you.
00:14:30 -What nuts?
00:14:48 Cheers.
00:14:51 Thanks.
00:14:54 Emin is bringing Tuba home.
00:15:02 Aren't you a wine drinker?
00:15:06 There's no wine in this village.
00:15:13 You've been crying.
00:15:19 I got drunk.
00:15:24 Do you at least feel better?
00:15:31 I suppose so.
00:15:38 Why?
00:15:42 Why are we always on the road?
00:15:46 Why did that accident
00:15:50 All right, dear. It's all right.
00:15:59 "The historical precedent is clear.
00:16:01 Colonialists had little capital
00:16:06 -Mahmut? Fadile sent this.
00:16:10 How do I know?
00:16:19 -Fadile sent this?
00:16:22 -To me?
00:16:24 -Did you read this letter?
00:16:27 -Okay then.
00:16:31 -Stop giggling.
00:16:35 If only you could see yourself.
00:16:43 Mahmut, what does "chafe" mean?
00:16:58 Everything okay, sisters?
00:17:00 No idea. A truck has arrived.
00:17:05 I asked the driver
00:17:09 I understand
00:17:12 But I have to pay
00:17:16 What?
00:17:18 It's already been a year
00:17:22 Hello? Hello?
00:17:25 The line's gone dead.
00:17:35 Mr Mayor! You've got a parcel!
00:17:51 -Simo, what's this?
00:17:57 Public library.
00:18:01 Kurtulus High School, Ankara.
00:18:04 -Malatya.
00:18:07 Zonguldak. From all over.
00:18:10 Didn't I say everyone would pitch in
00:18:14 A whole truckload of books.
00:18:44 Emin!
00:18:52 Testing, testing. One, two.
00:18:59 It's ready. I now present you
00:19:04 Mr. Nazmi Dogan,
00:19:06 who will make an opening speech.
00:19:10 Bravo!
00:19:16 Well.
00:19:18 It's customary for me to speak
00:19:21 but I don't think
00:19:26 A family became our guests
00:19:30 The husband was sent here
00:19:35 His first deed
00:19:39 That shows us the best way
00:19:43 -Send a doctor like him.
00:19:49 Guner bey,
00:19:52 Please, step forward.
00:19:55 But they are all
00:19:58 I had a look, sir.
00:20:03 Thank you, everyone.
00:20:05 Mr. mayor is
00:20:09 I'm afraid I'm no good
00:20:13 In this building,
00:20:15 on these shelves,
00:20:17 await hundreds of talented writers,
00:20:20 and many poets too.
00:20:24 If I manage to achieve one thing,
00:20:27 if I'm able to introduce you
00:20:31 I will be perfectly content.
00:20:36 The real founders of this library
00:20:40 are the people all over Turkey
00:20:43 who sent us hundreds of books.
00:20:47 Thanks to them. Congratulations.
00:20:54 That was a wonderful speech.
00:20:57 -Bravo, Guner abi!
00:21:00 Then we now all together,
00:21:03 Time for the grand opening!
00:21:08 May it all work out for the best.
00:22:12 I've got to drop by the office.
00:22:14 Here's to the new library.
00:22:29 No one came to the library
00:22:32 It wasn't as if we'd expected
00:22:36 But not a soul sto pped by.
00:22:38 No one.
00:22:45 -Father!
00:22:47 -Father!
00:22:52 Father!
00:22:54 -We've got a great idea!
00:22:57 We can fill this place up
00:23:00 Not during the day, at night.
00:23:04 They'll go here instead of to cafés.
00:23:09 How are we
00:23:13 How many are there
00:23:16 -Father, there's an extra one.
00:23:20 -Where?
00:23:22 Under the ground.
00:23:25 Ignore this crazy fool.
00:23:27 That TV has been buried
00:23:30 I know.
00:23:32 They told me.
00:23:34 If the tube isn't damaged
00:23:38 Pity for it to stay buried.
00:23:42 Those without visit those with.
00:23:45 -Fahri threw them all out recently.
00:23:49 Because of Lucy. During Dallas
00:23:54 "lmagine making love to her."
00:23:59 Fahri got vulgar.
00:24:02 He said, "The vizontele and Lucy
00:24:08 Fahri was vulgar too.
00:24:10 -Enough, Emin!
00:24:13 Typical Fahri.
00:24:15 Guner bey, what do you think?
00:24:18 Well, Mayor.
00:24:20 Don't you always say
00:24:27 Okay. Get it, Emin.
00:24:29 Thank you, Mayor.
00:24:40 It's such a creepy feeling.
00:24:43 Rifat, we'll just take the vizontele
00:24:54 With the grace of God.
00:25:08 And here it is, the vizontele.
00:25:13 Emin, you really think you can do it?
00:25:15 Absolutely... maybe.
00:25:20 He'll put it together again.
00:25:23 But the picture could be a bit muddy.
00:25:42 0f course,
00:25:46 The rustling sounds of a po plar tree
00:25:49 so an absent dead person could rest
00:26:06 Asiye?
00:26:09 Mother.
00:26:34 How are you feeling?
00:26:41 Incomplete.
00:26:47 Which of us is whole?
00:27:03 Waiting for the soldier once again?
00:27:06 Yes.
00:27:10 And it's our halfwit Veli, no less.
00:27:32 You're a real oaf, Sezgin.
00:27:34 Three counters out
00:27:38 Mr. Chairman,
00:27:42 A television has been installed
00:27:45 All citizens are invited to come
00:27:57 No one else is coming.
00:28:00 I'll turn it on. Just one thing.
00:28:03 No one turns on the vizontele but me.
00:28:05 Okay, I'm turning it on.
00:28:08 It was hard to fix.
00:28:10 All the circuits were rotten.
00:28:13 By the grace of God.
00:28:54 Everyone is to read their book
00:28:58 Don't forget. Back in three days.
00:29:06 -Simo?
00:29:07 I can't read or write.
00:29:10 Me neither.
00:29:14 What if they ask what it was about?
00:29:16 -Oya, play ball.
00:29:20 -Run, Ali, run!
00:29:25 Kaya, go to school.
00:29:28 Kaya, go to school.
00:29:30 -Repeat.
00:29:33 Come in, Mahmut.
00:29:36 -I know how to read, teacher.
00:29:42 Have a seat over there.
00:29:47 Emel, drink warm milk.
00:29:49 Emel, drink warm milk.
00:29:53 Again. Emel, drink warm milk.
00:30:09 When you hold my hand like this...
00:30:13 -I just can't believe it.
00:30:16 This beautiful girl.
00:30:21 Stop joking around like that.
00:30:25 Do it again.
00:30:29 Do it again.
00:30:53 We agree wholeheartedly.
00:30:55 So do we.
00:30:57 So we'll join together
00:31:01 -That's the right decision.
00:31:09 Mr. Chairman.
00:31:12 We are opposed
00:31:16 So are we.
00:31:22 Commander, this tea is delicious.
00:31:25 Allah, allah, tea again.
00:31:29 One of our soldiers makes good tea.
00:31:34 We drink the same tea
00:31:38 No offence. I said it was delicious.
00:31:41 Latif bey, get to the point.
00:31:47 I don't like to complain.
00:31:49 This library thing
00:31:53 That man has filled it
00:31:57 They're all sitting together.
00:32:01 I do not see any problem
00:32:06 I didn't see a problem either.
00:32:09 But all the anarchists and communists
00:32:16 I have no doubt about that.
00:32:19 And you realize
00:32:23 I wouldn't raise it
00:32:25 were it not for the upcoming visit
00:32:30 Prime minister's visit?
00:32:33 We're not informed of that.
00:32:37 It's being kept secret.
00:32:40 The other counties
00:32:44 You know, Commander...
00:32:46 everyone is uneasy.
00:32:50 The whole country's uneasy,
00:32:54 We're all uneasy.
00:33:07 Things are so bad at home
00:33:09 I'm reduced to having a drink
00:33:13 Here you go. There you are.
00:33:24 You say there's a line on Cyprus
00:33:30 Right.
00:33:32 Why?
00:33:35 What do you mean?
00:33:37 That's how it is.
00:33:42 If I kept this book a bit longer
00:33:51 -No, Siti.
00:33:55 Good.
00:34:21 You must weep now.
00:34:23 And for the rest of your life.
00:34:45 What happened, Emin?
00:34:47 There's a smell.
00:34:58 I'll work at home until dawn
00:35:03 -It must be ready by tomorrow night.
00:36:04 Great Turkish nation.
00:36:06 As you will no doubt all remember,
00:36:09 I took the opportunity to address you
00:36:14 And in the short time
00:36:18 I attempted
00:36:22 Silly me. I must have left it on.
00:36:26 What's that? A war film at this hour?
00:38:06 Turkish armed forces have assumed
00:38:11 A curfew is in effect
00:38:15 From now on
00:38:18 to be in the streets
00:38:55 Turkish armed forces
00:39:00 A curfew is in effect.
00:39:40 Dear citizens,
00:39:43 we have been forced
00:39:45 to seize power in our beloved land.
00:39:49 It is our duty
00:39:52 Oh, Nafiz!
00:39:56 Autumn had arrived.
00:39:59 Those Se ptember days
00:40:04 I began to grow up.
00:40:07 What a luck!
00:40:11 Justice Party Head Suley man Demirel
00:40:15 moved into their lodgings
00:40:21 The couple spent the day
00:40:25 Demirel and his wife
00:40:28 seemed to be in good health
00:40:31 Ecevit and his wife,
00:41:20 -Fahrettin, got a cigarette?
00:41:26 Thanks.
00:41:41 -Mahmut?
00:41:44 -That was you, wasn't it?
00:41:48 In the black outfit.
00:41:52 Get into the vehicles, everyone.
00:41:57 Excuse me.
00:42:02 Move!
00:42:13 They took Guner abi
00:42:16 Some returned
00:42:20 Some never came back.
00:42:23 They were all fine men.
00:42:25 They knew some of what
00:42:30 But they had not done anything
00:43:42 Move along!
00:43:46 Discipline is the key!
00:43:48 -Discipline!
00:43:52 There was no peace of mind.
00:43:58 Fast!
00:44:06 -The chicks grew up to be roosters.
00:44:09 They ripped us off. No hens.
00:44:13 Yilo, let's go, my son!
00:44:15 I'm coming to Ankara next year too.
00:44:18 -You're lazy!
00:44:25 Goodbye. Study diligently.
00:44:29 -Don't forget. You are our hope.
00:44:41 -You'll go there again?
00:44:43 Yilo, it's wonderful. The poplar.
00:44:47 Just as Rifat loves it.
00:44:51 The bus is leaving.
00:44:55 Sehmuz,
00:44:57 It is the only hen, Mayor.
00:45:01 I'm surprised yours grew up
00:45:04 -It must be my good luck.
00:45:10 -With all the roosters around?
00:45:12 Okay, if you say so, Mayor.
00:45:41 What's that?
00:45:52 If you'd listened to me,
00:45:56 Mother, now is not the time.
00:46:00 Nothing so far. It looks serious.
00:46:03 Everyone is out to save his own skin.
00:46:09 -Where's Tuba?
00:46:11 -Oh, Erkut bey sends his regards.
00:46:15 Why are you mad? He's nice.
00:46:30 I'll write.
00:46:37 Don't.
00:46:41 I'd end up waiting and waiting.
00:46:45 So few people come here.
00:46:49 And so many leave.
00:46:51 Those left behind have to wait.
00:46:53 Sometimes they wait for ages.
00:46:57 It's like looking down a road.
00:47:02 A long, empty road.
00:47:07 But nobody ever comes.
00:47:11 Don't write.
00:47:19 I'll never forget you.
00:47:35 Where is that girl?
00:47:47 -Bye. Phone the minute you arrive.
00:47:50 -Bring home another good report card.
00:47:55 Goodbye, Aysel. Godspeed.
00:48:45 Keep this.
00:50:13 Smile, go on and smile.
00:50:18 Let the clouds dis appear.
00:50:23 So I can come back to life.
00:50:28 Go on, smile.
00:50:32 A film might come to town.
00:50:37 A forrest appears in what's written
00:50:42 The weather turns to Mediterranean.
00:50:47 Smile.
00:50:56 Commander,
00:50:59 The Turkish Unaligned Union
00:51:02 Bipartisan Academy.
00:51:05 The letters have got to go!
00:51:08 Or else you will have to go!
00:51:11 Imagine. I'm hungry.
00:51:14 I fell out with my mother.
00:51:16 The whole city fell out with me.
00:51:21 I don't even have a cat.
00:51:26 Come on and smile.
