All language subtitles for Mandıra Filozofu ｜ Full Film

To say that this movie is
based on a true story...

...would not be quite true.

However, this movie is based on
a story that will come true.

This story will definitely come true
for some of you, someday, some place.

I believe in this.

THE COWSHED PHILOSOPHER

Without even getting a chance to
think that another way of life is possible,

I thought that being
wealthy was the same as just being.

Until that day...

Alarm Snooze

Oh my!

Shukru! Shukru! Shukru!

Shukru! Shukru! Shukru!

Here is our new address.
Sorry, our new plot.

How is it? You like it?

I'm liking it now.

I liked it.

I'm not talking about that,
I'm talking about the plot.

Oh, right.

I like it, but...

...I mean, why did you get this plot?

What will you do with it?

Come, I'll show you.

Shukru! Shukru!

Look.

I'm thinking a mono block building here.

Like this.

- Okay?
- Okay.

And right next to that...

...a spa center.

Like this.

The bankers will come at 09:15.

You have a phone appointment
with the Minister at 09:30.

Precisely at 10:00 we have
a meeting with the Executive Board...

...but this meeting is very important.

They want to see you
before the meeting, so

if you can spare 5 minutes
that will be great.

You had called for the legal consultant;
He will be here at 11:30.

There is the TUSIAD lunch at 12:30.

You will be in your office again at 16:00.

The Korean company's R&D
Director and the Middle

East Representative
will be here at 16:30.

And at 15:00 you will be
live on the Economy Bulletin.

I mean at 17:00.

- Take this, my child.
- Of course, sir.

Shukru! Shukru!

And then I'm thinking of
having that hill demolished.

You're going to have that hill demolished?

I mean, think about it...

...for example, if I have
a pool bar built here...

...then you can't see the sunset from here.

Guliz?

Is that a cow?

Where?

There.

And there is a man, too!

Guliz?

Hmm?

Didn't you buy this plot?

We did.

I mean, we must have.

The lawyers were sorting out
the matter of the deed.

Did we buy the cow as well?

Yes, dear?

Cavit, something terrible has happened.

What happened?

Did you know there is a cow
wandering around in our plot?

Didn't we buy that plot?

We did, we did, don't worry.

I'll find out what this is about from
the lawyers and get back to you.

Shukru! Shukru!

Shukru! Good news!

What is it?

The customers for your plot are here.

- You're not kidding me?
- Honestly.

What happened, Shukru?

You still haven't sold the plot?

What happened with that
plot at the Cokertme Cove?

You still haven't sorted it out?

Well, sir, about that...

...there is a complication.

Problem? What problem is there?

I'm okay with the deal, but...

We came to agreements with
all of the inheritors...

but whatever we did, we
couldn't persuade one of them.

Who is that?

Who do you think? That
stubborn goat Moustapha Ali.

So you butted against the
cowshed philosopher.

Such a stubborn one.

He is as stubborn as a mule.

What do you mean,
as stubborn as a mule?

Give him whatever he wants.

How much does he want?

They are giving us all that we've asked for,
but you can't make Moustapha understand.

Why am I giving you all that money?

Do I have to take care of everything?

What are you good for then?

Mr. Cavit, stay calm.
Your blood pressure will rise. Please.

To hell with your blood pressure!

Shukru?

What is it?

You want me to tell you something?

Go on.

As long as you have that cousin...

...there is no way you'll sell that plot.

Did you tell that man who I am?

Who is this guy, then?

Son, you'll send me to an early grave.

My child, look at where you're living.

There is no difference between
a cow's shed and your house.

I made sure you got a college education.

You became a philosopher.

I told you to find a job with
a salary as a philosopher.

You refused and said that
you're against working.

On top of that...

I told you to get married, have children...

...so that I could have
grandchildren to love.

You didn't accept that either;
You stayed single.

My boy, am I going to take
care of you at this age?

I'm going now.

Look, I brought you some bread.

I'm going home now.

Look, have pity on your mother.
I'll die soon.

Take care of yourself, Moustapha Ali.
Take care, my child.

Have the lawyers sorted it out?

One of them isn't selling.

What?

I told everyone we bought the plot.

It's going to be okay, don't worry.
I'm going to take care of it myself.

I put it on Twitter and lnstagram.

I'm going to be ridiculed
if we can't buy it!

It's okay, I told you
I'm going to take care of it.

I beg you, come and sort this out already.

Okay, I'm busy now. I'll call you later.

I'm going to buy that plot,
as sure as my name is Cavit.

Whatever you do, persuade Moustapha Ali.

Sell that plot.

Get the minibus, Shukru, or they
won't let you marry that girl.

Who are they to stop me from marrying her?

That girl is mine.

Yeah, right.

If that girl is yours, how come her
Facebook relationship status is single?

What?

What are you saying? Watch your mouth!

You're telling me I should watch my mouth?

Social media is in the palm of my hand.

If you don't believe me, see for yourself.

Not in a relationship.

Shukru! Do you want to scare me to death?

And why do you keep following me?

Why are you putting on airs, girl?

What airs?

You changed your Facebook
relationship status to single.

What was I supposed to change it to?

In a relationship with Shukru?

Besides, don't you know my father?

Yeah, as if your father
knows about Facebook.

That's what you think.

He keeps logging
on to Facebook and sharing

photos of the village
on the chief's computer.

Don't worry Gulsah. I sent Aunt
Shukran to talk to your mother.

It will happen any day now.

Hopefully we'll change our Facebook
statuses to 'in a relationship' soon.

Shukru?

Yeah?

You're not kidding me?

I'm not kidding you.

Oh, Shukru, someone is coming!

Someone?

Cousin? Cousin?

Don't be scared, girl,
that's my cousin.

Why did you come out of nowhere?

Cousin.

Cousin.

I saw Aunt Shukran.

She spoke to the girl's mother.

- Aunt Shukran?
- Yeah.

What did she say?

The girl's father is as
stubborn as a mule.

He says he won't let his daughter
marry a guy with no job.

She should have told him that
I was going to buy a minibus.

We are about to sell the field,
we have a customer.

She should have told him
it's going to happen soon!

She has, she has!

That you're selling the field,
that there is a customer...

...and that you're going
to buy the minibus.

- So?
- So the guy is as stubborn as a mule.

So?

So the guys says there is no way
he's letting his daughter marry you.

He says that until you park the
minibus in front of your door...

...there is no way this will work.

The guy is evil. Evil!

My child, cancel all my
appointments until tomorrow noon.

I will be in my office at 2 o'clock.

Alright, sir.

Don't you understand, man?

My future father-in-law
is as stubborn as a mule.

He says that I should go buy the minibus...

...and then ask for his
daughter's hand in marriage.

Someone else will marry
the girl, don't you understand?

Hmm.

When you sell this plot
and buy the minibus...

...he's going to let you marry
his daughter, is that so?

Yeah.

Is that minibus more
beautiful than this plot?

Look around.

Yeah.

He says so.

Shukru, you think you will be happy
when you get the minibus...

...but happiness is achieved
through giving, not getting.

That's what I'm saying, cousin.

Let's give this field to the
customers and we can all be happy!

Modern life teaches people to be cunning.

But you can't be cunning
about love, Shukru.

If Farhad had bulldozed his way through the
mountains instead of digging through them...

...or if Majnun had driven
air conditioned jeeps

while burning with Layla's love
in the desert...

...could their loves become legendary?

You can't be cunning about love.

And love cannot be based on money, Shukru.

Anything else?

- Thanks.
- Bon app�tit.

To hell with money,
to hell with Majnun's jeep!

Give them the plot already!

Shakespeare said that...

...man must raise his words, not his voice.

Because it's not the thunder, it's the
rain that makes the leaves flourish.

If you want happiness, don't look
for it in minibuses, Shukru.

You can't buy happiness.

These are all games played by the
free market economy on people.

Bukowski said that...

The happiest people are not those who
have the best of everything...

...they are those who love what they have
so much that they can't ever lose them.

Fuck Shakespeare!

Fuck Bukowski!

Fuck Moustapha Ali!

Fuck the tires of Majnun's jeep!

Selling this field is now the
will of God, Halel Ibrahim.

There is no other way.

You're right. There isn't.

Shukru is right, Halel Ibrahim.

Moustapha is messing
with Shukru's happiness.

Don't add fuel to the fire!

I'm going to get rid of all
of the obstacles in the way!

If Moustapha Ali is an obstacle,
then I will get rid of him, too!

Do it!

If you break his arms or
legs while doing it...

...spare his right hand. We need that.

You know, he signs with his right hand.
That's why we need it.

We're almost there, captain.

Alright.

Mr. Cavit is here.

- Go to the dock and get his bags.
- Alright.

Mr. Realtor, I thought you
were going to sort this out.

You said you could take care
of everything around here.

I persuaded all the relatives.
They are all waiting for the deed.

This one says no!

He's trying to get more money.

This man doesn't have
anything to do with money.

He doesn't even understand money!

He doesn't understand money, huh?

Everyone understands money.
Money solves everything.

Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

Sir, should we try remotioning?

That lawsuit will take at least two years.

I can't stand my wife's
nagging for two years.

I'll take care of it. Don't you worry.

Mr. Cavit, don't worry sir!

I'll personally make sure
his cousin persuades him.

Sir, the commission is not important at all.

I only care about customer satisfaction, sir.

Best regards, sir.

You're living the life here, you know?

Right?

It's really great.

But not as it is, of course.

We'll have to touch it up quite a bit.

And then this place will be so exotic.

Cavit, dear?

I'm thinking we could have a
small, boutique hotel built...

...just big enough to
accommodate our guests, huh?

What do you say?

I promise I will take care
of everything about it.

It will be no problem for you.

Sure, sure.

I'll take care of it. Don't worry.

Let me breathe for a bit.

What a stubborn villager!

He only says that he won't sell, huh?

I can speak his language, don't worry.

I will go ashore in a bit
and take care of it.

It's not something that
can't be taken care of.

And the lawyers will be here
tomorrow to sort out the details.

Man, I will kill him.

I will be rotting in prison.

And you can bring me clean
underwear while I'm there.

Slow down.

If we keep on at this stubborn
goat, he won't sell the plot.

Sit still where you are!

I'm sitting in a cucumber field,
do you think I'm comfortable?

The man is going to let someone else marry
his daughter, don't you understand?

What is this? What kind of a girl
is she if she won't wait for you?

Who is she? Princess Caroline?

What are you saying?
Watch your mouth!

Don't make me rearrange your face!

You're being such a tight ass!

You are going to beat me?

What's going on? You're related.

Everyone is related in this village!

Who will I beat up?

You're right, Shukru.

I mean, if you want to beat up a cousin,
go beat up Moustapha Ali.

This one already signed,
never mind this one, to hell with him!

Don't get me wrong,
when I say 'to hell

with him', I mean 'this
asshole is not worth it'.

No problem.

Calm down, sit down.

You are right.

And you, don't rile him up.

Peace be upon you!

And peace be upon you.

You have to speak their language.

I'll make him see my point soon enough.

Are you the owner of this place?

No, I'm just the tenant.

The tenant?

Yeah.

That idiot realtor!

He told me this guy was the owner.
We've been talking to the wrong guy for days.

Umm, how can we meet with the owner?
Do you know the owner?

I don't know how you can meet with him,
but I've never met him.

Who is the owner of this place?

That depends on the person.

Some say it's Allah, some say it's God.

A long time ago, some people
have even said it's Zeus.

You may say it's a higher power.

But I'm not the owner of this field.

I'm only temporary here.

I swear, I didn't understand
a single word of that.

He's a tenant. I got that.

Please don't remain standing.

Rest in the shade over here.

Let me offer you some
freshly steeped tea.

Shh.

Don't think about drinking it.
The glasses are probably dirty.

Now, my dear Ahmad...

...go chill a bottle of champagne...

...and prepare the table, okay?

Because tonight, we're going to have
a huge celebration on this boat.

Yes, ma'am.

Wow, this tea is so good!

It must be the water.

Which brand do you use?

Water from the well. See,
I'm drawing it here.

Wait a minute, is that water
coming from underground?

I don't know where your
water is coming from...

...but here, we drink the water
coming from underground.

Here, taste it.

Thank you very much, but we
use certain brands of water.

I don't think they come from underground,
because they come from abroad.

Of course we pay quite a bit for that.

They have different bottles
that are really shiny and...

Okay, okay. Forget about water now.

Who cares where water comes from?

Now, who is the deed to
this place registered to?

It's registered to me.

Oh, and my uncles.

Alright! That's what I've been asking!

Okay, then. Nice.

Look, brother.

We want to buy this plot.

Why?

For swimming. We want to swim, yes.

We will swim in the sea.

We will swim in the sea, of course.

Don't you say anything
about building a hotel!

We are not going to build a hotel.

We are going to swim.

You're welcome to swim.
You don't need to pay for that.

The seas belong to all of us.

My dear brother, why do you say that?

Would it be bad if you got some money?

I mean ready money, cash!

No, I'm against money.

That's so funny.

Can you be against money?
Who can be against money?

Look, is there a single person
who doesn't like money?

What is money, anyway?

A digital number in some bank is all it is.

You can't touch it, you can't caress it,
you can't hug it and lie next to it.

For example, I'm sure you have
a lot of money in the bank.

Have you ever gone to the bank and said...

..."bring me my money, I want to touch it,
caress it, throw it in the air"?

This guy is a maniac.

He should be exempt from law
for mental instability.

He should be exempt from a lot of things.

Now, what difference does it make...

...whether the money stays in the
bank or underneath the pillow.

I mean, you can't get
anything with no money.

No, I can.

How can you, brother?

Didn't you get all of this with money?

I get all of this for free.

For free?

Who gives anyone anything
for free in this age?

Mother Earth does.

Look, I just gathered those
cucumbers from the garden.

Mother Sea gives for free, too.

My mother Gulfidan does, too.

I don't need money.

I've got my cow, my milk, my chicken.
I don't need anything.

Alright, brother, but be smart.

Be smart for once.

Now, look...

...put some money in your pocket
and go buy whatever you want.

Go buy yourself a boat.

Oh, right...

I'm having a great day.

I'm having a magnificent day.

I'm just feeling so benevolent today.

I'll let you have my boat.

What are you saying, Cavit?

Shush.

What am I going to do with that boat?

There are so many beautiful coves,
you can visit them.

Is there a cove more
beautiful than this one?

See, it is so beautiful
that even you came here.

Is this one suitable, ma'am?

Let me see.

Quite suitable.

But that won't be enough for us.

You should chill one more bottle, Ahmad.

Alright, ma'am.

I've known Mr. Cavit for years...

...and I've never met anyone
whom he couldn't persuade.

Look now, my dear brother...

...would it be bad if you got that money
and started a business for yourself?

No, I'm against working.

You're against working?

Yes.

The only reason for working for
more than what you need is greed.

People buy more houses
than they can live in.

Make more money than they can spend.

They buy plots, they buy cars.

And then what happens?

People pray at their funeral and
they depart from this world.

Everything stays in this world.

Remember the words of Yunus?

'Possessions are a lie, properties are a lie,
come hang around for a while.'

This plot is yours.

I'm not asking for any money.

Come and hang around for a while.

So it's not happening?

The guy is a maniac, my dear.
There is no reasoning with him.

I'm going to go and talk with him
again early tomorrow morning.

I won't give up so easily.

The journey had tired me, that's
why I wasn't so persistent today.

You couldn't open your mouth
and say a single word.

Don't worry, I'll deal with this.

I'm Turkey's most stubborn industrialist.

Who is he?

Go on, my love.

Who said that?

Bukowski.

Who is he?

A friend of Moustapha Ali.

A friend from the military, I think.

So, what does it mean?

I don't get it.

It means we shouldn't try to
buy happiness, my Gulsah.

These are all games played by the
free market economy on people.

For example...

...if Majnun hadn't had an
air conditioned jeep...

...Layla still would have fallen for him.

What the hell does that mean, Shukru?

Are you trying to get my dander up?

I'm telling you, my father is going
to let someone else marry me.

We had visitors again the other day.

Don't you understand what I'm saying?

Don't talk like that, girl!

You'll make me burn the whole village!

Gulsah! Where are you girl?

That's my mother!

Shukru, I'm off!

Fuck the modern people!

Fuck the free market economy!

Fuck the tires of Majnun's jeep!

Moustapha Ali, fuck you too!

And fuck whoever put
me in this situation!

Don't tell me how high it is.

I get angry. Just write it down
so that you can show the doctor.

Boys, where is Mr. Cavit's breakfast?

First your pills, my love.
Go on, dear.

I would be famished if it
weren't for the pills.

I live on pills.

There are more pills in
my stomach than food.

Giovanni, your diabetes pill
is really great, well done.

He's such a kidder.

My love, you know
we have to do this.

Remember what the doctor said?

He said that you'll die if you eat.

I'll die of starvation.

I should go and talk
to this guy again.

Do you want me to come?

No. We should talk man-to-man.

Captain. Prepare the small boat.
I'll go ashore.

The boat is ready, sir.

Call the driver, he should
be ready in an hour.

I have a meeting in my
office at 2 o'clock.

Oh, and call the pilot.
Tell him to prepare the plane.

Yes, sir.

I should go and see what
this man is made of.

Peace be with you.

And peace be with you.

You're right on time.

Let's have some
breakfast together.

Thanks. I already have.

Then sit down and have some tea.

While you sit down and have some tea,
I'll get a couple of eggs from the market.

- There is a market here?
- Yes.

Where is it?

And it is a supermarket. Right over there.

Just up ahead. Walk for a bit.

Go past the well.

Keep walking.

Don't worry, you can step on the grass.

You are allowed to step on the grass here.

It is prohibited in the city.

You have to be Drogba or Sneijder to be
allowed to step on the grass in the city.

In the city they put up
"don't step on the grass" signs.

And they pay those players millions
of Euros to step on the grass.

Yes, but they are both great players.

They deserve it.

Now open that gate.

Pick up a couple of eggs.

You don't have to pay, either.

Money does not work in our market.

Neither do credit cards.

Chickens don't care about money.

Do you want me to break a
couple of eggs for you, too?

No, thanks. I haven't eaten eggs in years.

I have hypertension, hyperuricemia,
high cholesterol, high blood sugar.

And they are all at the highest levels.

But I'm at the highest level, too.

As a businessman, of course.

So you have enough money to buy all
the egg factories in this country...

...but you can't eat a single
egg yourself, is that so?

Yes, well...

Mr. Cavit, bring me those jars
over there, will you?

Go on, the eggs will get cold.

These?

Yes, the ones on the fireplace.

Sprinkle some.

Go on, don't be stingy.

And some pepper.

Yes, that's wonderful.

Have some of the bread.

Are you crazy? With my
hypertension, my diet...

Diet?

I'm against dieting.

Because there is no such
thing as dieting in nature.

Have you ever seen
a tiger on a diet?

I haven't.

In fact, I've never seen a tiger.

I only know about the Anatolian Tigers,
because I do business with them.

A tiger doesn't go on a diet.

If it's hungry, it hunts and eats.

If it's full, it doesn't eat.

Humans are the only creatures
going after food when they are full.

So, doesn't the tiger
have high cholesterol?

No, it can't have.

Why? Because the tiger doesn't have a
driver or a car like you do...

...it gets around by running.

That's right.

See? You even came here with a boat.

The tiger would have swum.

That's right.

Bless your hands, this is really good.

Nice.

Do you want me to break a couple more?

No, this should last me another 20 years.

I shouldn't call him. He'll get upset.

I'll text him.

What happened, is it settled?

So...

Have you thought about it last evening?
Are you going to sell me this place?

Last evening?

I've thought about selling years ago...

...and decided that buying
and selling are pointless, Mr. Cavit.

Look, Moustapha Ali...
...I like you.

I mean, it's pleasant to chat
and eat with you. That's good.

But I don't have that much time.

When you look at it, nobody has
that much time, Mr. Cavit.

We are in this world for a few days.

See? Another day has gone by today.

Moustapha Ali, look...

I like philosophy, too.

I'm not an ignorant person, either.
You know me a little by now.

But philosophy doesn't
put food on the table.

Even when you say 'philosophy doesn't put
food on the table', you're philosophizing.

Whatever, Moustapha Ali...

Are you selling or not?

I'm giving you 24 hours.

24 hours?

But I don't have a watch.

Alright, I'll give you this watch.
It is a good watch.

What will I do with a watch here?

Have appointments with the chickens?

I don't need any watch other
than my biological clock.

I sleep when I feel sleepy. I wake
up when I don't feel sleepy anymore.

Okay.

Give me a ring tomorrow morning at sunrise.

Ring.

Sorry?

I can say 'ring', but I don't have a phone.

Who doesn't have a phone in this age?

Those are the shackles
of the modern age slaves.

Watches are handcuffs and
cell phones are collars.

Collars?

Don't be offended, Mr. Cavit.
Excuse the simile.

Don't you have to answer whoever
calls you on your cell phone?

No.

I don't have to at all, Moustapha.

How many days of holiday do you
get every year, Mr. Cavit?

I only get a chance for a week every year.

I've got a boat, a summer house in Bodrum.

I'm lucky if I can come here for a week.

So you want this plot from me, so that
you can come here for a week every year?

But I live here 365 days a year.

Isn't it more reasonable that
this plot should stay with me?

How old are you?

Almost sixty.

How many more years do you
have to live, Mr. Cavit?

I don't know. I can't know.

Let's say you live for another thirty years.

Do you realize how many more
summers you'll be able to see?

Only thirty.

Let's say you have
thirty-five more summers.

Only God knows during how many
of them you'll have your health.

So if we make a calculation...

...you have 210 days left.

Only 210 days, Mr. Cavit.

What are you saying? What 210 days?

Don't be absurd, Moustapha Ali.

You are burying me too soon.

It's not even one year.

Even if you buy this place,
you only have 210 days left.

Only 210 days.

So, eat one more egg when you can.

Hello?

Alright, I'm taking off soon.

I'll be in my office in the
afternoon around 5 o'clock.

Okay.

He should call my assistant.

Is that an iPhone 5?

Yes.

How many more iPhones will you
be able to see in your life, Mr. Cavit?

Even Steve Jobs, who designed it,
was able to see only four of them.

How many more iPhones will you be able
to see in this mortal world, Mr. Cavit?

You have 210 days left.

Only 210 days, Mr. Cavit.

Cavit?

What happened? Tell me. You haven't
said anything since you came back.

Nothing.

What do you mean 'nothing'?

You haven't spoken a single
word since you came back.

What happened? What did you
talk about with the man?

I gave him 24 hours to think about it.

So, what did he say?

He said, "And you have
210 days, Mr. Cavit".

I don't understand.

Neither do I.

210 days?

He must be a maniac.

I mean, why 210?

Why not 66, but 210? What nonsense.

Let's say you live for another thirty years.

Do you realize how many more
summers you'll be able to see?

Only thirty.

Let's say you have
thirty-five more summers.

So if we make a calculation...

...you have 210 days left.

Only 210 days, Mr. Cavit.

You have 210 days left.

Only 210 days, Mr. Cavit.

Secretary Duygu
Missed Calls (20)

You have 210 days left.

Cavit?

210 days.

Watches are handcuffs and
cell phones are collars.

Collars?

What is it, my child?
Why do you keep calling me?

What kind of a collar is this?
Am I your dog?

God!

Can't I have a moment's peace?

I'm so sorry, sir.

I just wanted to say that
your plane is ready.

Cancel that. I'm not coming to Istanbul.

But sir, tomorrow you
have a very important...

Cancel all the appointments. Okay?

But Mr. Cavit, tomorrow
is very important. I...

Hello?

Mr. Cavit?

You should hurry, Shukru.

I won't be able to wait much longer.

What do you mean, you "won't be able
to wait"? What else will you do?

I don't know about that.

There are a lot of
people who like me.

What?

I put my photo on Facebook.

15 people liked it already.

Who are they?

Who liked you?

Stop shouting! My mother will hear.

We're outside the village, at the pond.
How will your mother hear?

Gulsah?

I told you, Shukru! My mother heard us!

I'm off.

Chief, can we use your computer?

We're just looking for someone.

Have you gone crazy? Calm down.
Is that even possible?

I will find every one of these people
who liked her and make them pay...

...as sure as my name is Shukru!

Are you high? How will you find them?

Look at this bastard.
He liked her from Kutahya.

I won't forget you!

Mahmud.

Is that our Mahmud?

Let me see.

This is Mahmud, Hayriye's son!

Stop! What are you doing?

Stop! Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Have you seen Mahmud?

No.

Hasan, have you seen Mahmud today?

Which Mahmud?

Mahmud son of Rustem.

He wouldn't be here at this hour. He is
probably at home playing on his computer.

Thanks.

Mahmud, you'll see what I will do to you.

What will you do?

You'll see when I do it, cousin!

Stop! Stop!

Good day, Hayriye.

Good day. Welcome.

Is Mahmud home?

He is.

We need to do something
with his computer.

Do you want some dolma and yogurt?

Yeah, we'll have some.

You will stop liking, Mahmud. You will.

Isn't it shameful to like other
people's wives and daughters?

Who did I like, man?

You liked Gulsah.

It was just a photo.

Why do you keep talking?

I will break your clicking finger!

Alright, man, it's okay.

Go on, stop liking.

Alright, I will.

Now!

Okay, I'm unliking.

Okay, I unliked.

Mahmud, if you open Gulsah's
Facebook page again...

...I have people on the Internet,
they'll let me know immediately.

I'll have you poked in 18 places Mahmud.

Okay?

Okay, man.

I swear I will break your head.

The dolmas are here.

Thanks, Hayriye.

Enjoy.

Bless your hands, Hayriye.

Enjoy.

I really like it.

Enjoy.

Don't get me wrong, Mahmud. When I
say 'I like it', I mean the dolmas.

You are not supposed
to like everything.

For example...

...if I opened your mother's
Facebook page and typed 'I like it'...

...wouldn't that be shameful of me?

How could I look at Rustem's face again?

Do you understand, Mahmud?

I do.

Well done, Mahmud.

Well done.

It's wonderful, bless your hands.

Enjoy.

Gulsah!

I will find that bastard from
Kutahya who liked you...

...and make him unlike you.

I will play tip-cat with him...

...and make him swallow the stick...

...as sure as my name is Shukru!

Why do you keep shouting
at this hour of the night?

You woke everyone up!

We'll get in trouble.

Come, we're going home.

I'm going to talk with Aunt Gulfidan.

Only she can talk that stubborn
goat Moustapha Ali's language!

Aunt Gulfidan!

Shh!

Aunt!

Aunt!

Aunt Gulfidan!

God, who is that shouting?

Who are they?

At this hour of the night?

Why did you drink so much?
Did you find free alcohol?

If I light a match you will ignite!

Aunt, who should drink if not me?

Your son is as stubborn as a mule.

He is.
That ox is just like his father.

He came to this world as an
ox and he will depart as an ox.

No Aunt, my uncle was not like this.
This one is really an ox.

Aunt, why don't you
have a talk with him?

He keeps putting a stoke in our wheel.
He messes with our livelihood.

He does that. He is
just like his father.

Tell him not to do that, aunt.

I'm so fed up with it.

His father's like that, too.

He had been a total ox until
he went to that English woman.

How could anyone cheat on you, aunt?

You are worth more than
five English women.

You are right, Halel Ibrahim.

I'm worth more than fifteen
English women, not five.

If only we could find an English
woman for Moustapha Ali...

...so that he can leave this place.

Why do you keep touching that sore spot?

In short, if anyone can
sort this out, it's you.

Can't you do anything without me?

Can't you do anything yourselves?

Okay. I will talk to that
ox of a son in the morning.

Let's go talk to him, aunt.
We should do whatever we can.

Or else that man is going to let
someone else marry his daughter.

And then you won't be able to stop me
and I will rot in a prison.

Son, go now, that's enough.
I'm sleepy. It's almost morning.

You screwed up both my sleep
and Madame Butterfly's opera.

Go on, go now!

I will buy that plot from that man.

I don't care how much it costs, I will.

It's now a matter of pride for me.

I will finish this job.

Cavit, dear, you know what you should do?

Invite him to the boat.

That maniac?

Seriously.

Now, invite him over before
the 24 hours are up.

You know how this maniac
says he won't sell?

Why?

It's because he doesn't know what money is.

I mean, he doesn't know how
people with money live.

Let him come and see how one lives
with money and what money can do.

Let him come, see and envy.

You're right.

I'll finish this job during dinner.

Okay.

Captain!

Could you go and tell him that
we're expecting him for dinner.

No, I'll go tell him myself.

Bring the boat, then.

There is no need for the boat.

What?

I'll... swim ashore.

Swim?

What?

Cavit, don't be absurd!

You have a heart condition, Cavit!

For God's sake! You have hypertension!

Find a T-shirt and some shorts!

Take them to him, go on!

He is crazy! Really, he is!

Peace be with you.

And peace be with you.

Didn't you return to Istanbul?

No, I called Istanbul. It turns out I don't
have anything too important to do there.

I thought I would stay for another day.

So you turned those 210 days into 211 days.

Your life just got longer, Mr. Cavit.

Yeah, one day is one day.

You're right on time. Could
you hand me that bucket?

That.

Pour some here.

Thank you, boys.

I get so tired every time I come here.

Look at where he lives.

A dog wouldn't stay in this place.

His father's just like him.

And this is Aphrodite.

So there is a cow here, too.

I'd be happy if you don't call her cow.

She gets angry if you don't
call her by her name.

Hello, Miss Aphrodite.

There is my ox of a son Moustapha Ali.

The man is with him, aunt.

We should close this deal today.

The man is so rich. He
has a shitload of money.

In the name of God...

You show her someplace
where she can graze...

...and she gives you a bucket
of milk in the evening.

Tell me, would a human do that?

Go on.

We said we would talk, go on, walk.

Here is my ox of a son Moustapha Ali.

Welcome. Welcome, mother.

Mr. Cavit.

My mother Gulfidan.

And my cousins, Shukru and Halel Ibrahim.

Nice to meet you. How are you, Mr. Cavit?

- Thank you, hello.
- Hello.

Son, did you come to an
agreement with the gentleman?

There is nothing to disagree about, mother.
We are having a pleasant chat.

My son is an ox, but my
ox can chat for sure.

He is his mother's son.

Moustapha Ali is a very nice person.

In fact I had come here to invite
him over to our boat for dinner...

...so that we can eat and chat.

Of course! Of course we'll come!

Sure, we'll come.

We'll come.

Of course we'll come,
it would be rude not to come.

- Right, aunt?
- Of course we'll go boys.

Welcome, bon app�tit.

There's so much cheese.

Are they going to fill us
up with cheese, I wonder?

Brother Giovanni, bless your hands.

Bene, molto bene.

Miss Gulfidan?

You speak Italian, too?

Of course, I can speak so fluently.

Il Postino, Cinema Paradiso.

I follow Italian cinema closely.

I especially adore Italian new realists.

You know Victor Desica?

We're very close. He's my buddy.

Captain, does this thing
gobble up a lot of fuel?

Of course, no amount of
fuel would be enough for this.

Who knows how many furnaces
are burning underneath this?

How much fuel would it use for 1 km?

Quite a lot, sir.

He called you 'sir'.

What 'sir'? This is our Halel Ibrahim.

We call him 'Mad Halel
Ibrahim' in our village.

Get out of here!

Brother sailor. How much
money do you make in one month?

What is it to you? You shush!
Mind your own business!

Cousin, shush, so that we can start
talking about the important matter.

Mr. Cavit, do you pay the captain and the
sailor their salaries during winter, as well?

Yes, of course.

There's the fuel, the
marina, the cleaning...

Seriously, this boat will
ruin your livelihood.

Sure, but it's also very pleasant.

Look at how pleasant it is. It's like
an apartment in the middle of the sea.

It's very nice, isn't it, Moustapha Ali?

It's nice, but...

...it's a bit far from the sea.

How is it far? We are right
in the middle of the sea.

Mother, look at how high we are.

A boat should be like ours.

You should be able to touch
the water by reaching down.

This one is too high.

You don't like anything.

His father's like that, too.
He doesn't like anything either.

He liked that English woman, though.

Shh! Behave yourselves!

Never mind, mother. Pay
no heed to such things.

What would you like as the main course?
Meat or fish?

I would like both.

Me, too.

Me, too, Brother Giovanni. I'll have both.

Thank you, I'm against so much food.

Bring whatever you have.

Son, why are you against everything?
Is there anything you're not against?

When everyone says something's black,
our Moustapha Ali says it's white.

He has never agreed with
other people on anything.

He says one thing, others think otherwise.

I never could figure out who is wrong.

Remember Bertrand Russell's words?

"If millions of people say a foolish
thing, it is still a foolish thing."

Who is this Berkant Rasil?

Another realtor?

I wonder if he's the one
swaying Moustapha Ali.

Isn't he that famous singer?

Whoever he is...

...we should finish this tonight.

Don't drink too much!

You don't need to go bottoms-up all the time
just because the drinks are free!

It's okay, it's smooth like sherbet.

Mr. Moustapha Ali...

...sell us the field, so
that we can close the deal.

And we'll live in peace and
celebrate the sale this evening, okay?

Well said, Mr. Cavit.

- I think it is going to happen.
- He's coming around.

Mr. Cavit, it is such a big field.

It's big enough for both you and me.

Come, live here and do whatever you want.

I'm not asking for any money either.

No, brother, I know I will
be rotting in prison.

Mr. Moustapha Ali, I mean...

...the plot is not big enough.

Yeah.

Remember the words of Can Yucel?

What words?

"People must realize why
they can't fit into the whole"

world after fitting
into their mothers' wombs...

"...and that eventually they'll have
to fit into a square meter of earth."

So, sooner or later all we're going to
need is two square meters of earth.

There is no need to spend money
for more than that, Mr. Cavit.

You don't have to take the money, we'll take
it. You can give it away for free.

Son, who can understand what you're saying?
Even I can't understand you.

Captain, how much is your salary?

I mean, how much do you put in your pocket?

That's of no consequence now.

We just need to sort out
this plot business.

We don't need to exactly understand
what Mr. Moustapha Ali says, right?

Don't worry about that.

Right, Moustapha Ali? We're selling
the field to this good man, right?

I'm against selling the field
and Mr. Cavit buying it.

That's enough, man.

Won't I be able to marry because of you?
Will I stay single forever?

I can't deceive my friends.

Even if I make myself understand,
I can't make my conscience understand.

Remember Dostoyevsky's words?

What did he say this time?

The greatest punishment in this world
is the one that a man gives himself.

I'm going to give you a punishment now.

Fuck Dostoyevsky.

Fuck Berkant Rasil.

And fuck you.

Fucking Moustapha Ali.

I'll rearrange your face!

Shukru!

He's gone! Help! Save him!

The kid is drowning! Help! Save him! God!

Fuck Shakespeare!

Fuck Bukowski!

Fuck Moustapha Ali!

Fuck the tires of Majnun's jeep!

What is it, my child, what is it?

Aren't you coming, sir?

I'm not. I'm outside of the city.

Cancel all appointments.

Guliz, this has gone long enough.

I'll go and sort this out now.
This is enough.

All of his relatives are selling anyway.
He's the only who doesn't want to.

If we keep on at it for a
while, it'll be sorted out.

Go after you have your breakfast.

I won't have breakfast.
I don't want to eat anything.

Wait a couple minutes.
I'll check your blood pressure.

No need.

I feel fine.

Peace be with you.

And peace be with you.

This time you're really right on time.

Moustapha Ali...

...this has gone on long enough,
let's close the deal already.

Have a breather and we will.

By the way, I'm sorry for last evening.

My relatives are a bit excitable...

...but they are all wonderful people.

No problem. Nothing happened.
They are young men.

What would you like for breakfast?

What do you have?

Three kinds of cheese made from
Aphrodite's milk, strained yogurt...

...olives from our garden and butter.

If you'd like you can gather some tomatoes,
peppers and cucumbers from the garden.

How much should I gather?

Gather however much you're going to eat.

Don't fret.

Mother Earth replaces everything
that's gathered for eating.

Go on, gather whatever you'd like.

Ooh, you picked the very best ones.

You want me to break some eggs, as well?

Do you think 20 years have passed?

Don't fret, nothing will happen.

Eat whatever you'd like.

I think not eating will harm
a person more than eating.

Alright, then. Break a couple of eggs.
And we'll sprinkle some pepper on them, okay?

Of course. Go and pick up a couple of eggs.

From the market?

Yes. From the factory to the people.

Eggs with butter are something else.

You know, if Guliz were to see that I'm
eating all this, she would pass out.

She always says to me...

"Don't eat butter or you'll die".

If I can't taste this, what does
it matter if I live or die?

It's better if I don't live.

Exactly. But we must thank
Aphrodite for that butter.

Thanks, Aphrodite!

Bless your teats!

See, she answered.

Yes, she did.

Actually what hurts people the
most are not the disappointments...

...but moments of happiness that can't
be experienced even when it's possible.

That's a good saying. Who said that?

Dostoyevsky.

Moustapha Ali, you work quite a bit.
Yet they say you are lazy.

No, I'm against working within the system.

Because working within the
system is modern slavery.

Actually I am hardworking.

But I have no storage.

Storage?

I mean, I work, but I don't save up.

I work just enough.

Enough for myself and for whoever needs it.

Huh. Well, if everybody
thought like you do...

...no one would discover
fire or invent the wheel.

So, was that good for humanity?

Of course, humanity has
been making incredible progress.

Think about it.

People used to walk for
3 days to travel.

But today, you can be here now
and at another place in an hour.

Humanity is making incredible
progress, Moustapha Ali.

That progress wouldn't be possible
if everyone thought like you do.

Are you talking about traveling by plane?

Yes.

So you can get somewhere in 50 minutes,
when it used to take 3 days to get there.

You know what's really happening?

You are losing 3 days of your life.

You live 3 days less.

With the clouds beneath you, you fly
over Biga and here you are in Bodrum.

That's the course of the plane.

So you didn't see Biga while coming here.

You didn't get Ezine cheese from Ezine.

You didn't have fish and raki in Ayvalik.

You didn't eat some boyoz in Izmir
while watching the sunset.

And you call that progress, is that so?

I know, sir, I know. But Mr. Cavit
is on his way. He'll be here today.

Hello?

So you can get somewhere in 50 minutes,
when it used to take 3 days to get there.

You know what's really happening?

You are losing 3 days of your life.

You live 3 days less.

People buy more houses
than they can live in.

Make more money than they can spend.

They buy plots, they buy cars.

And then what happens?

People pray at their funeral and
they depart from this world.

Stop the car here.

Every living being will taste death.

And then what happens?

People pray at their funeral and
they depart from this world.

Is that an iPhone 5?

Yes.

How many more iPhones will you
be able to see in your life, Mr. Cavit?

Even Steve Jobs, who designed it,
was able to see only four of them.

How many more iPhones will you be able
to see in this mortal world, Mr. Cavit?

Call the secretary.

Tell her to cancel all my
appointments for tomorrow.

Call the airport.

The flight is cancelled.

You get out of the car. Give me the keys.

The person you have called
cannot be reached at the moment.

Of course he won't sell the field.
He has nothing to worry about.

He's well read. He graduated
from two universities.

He's not like us.

He spent his life among girls and women.

Half the world knows not
how the other half lives.

My only hope is that minibus.
Do I have any other hope?

Without that minibus, who
is going to marry me?

Who will take a man with 10 olive
trees to his name seriously?

Don't worry. Don't be concerned, cousin.

When that stubborn goat
Moustapha Ali is persuaded,

both you and I will have
reached our goals.

What's your goal?

What will you do with the money?

I'm going to leave this place.

I'll move to Minsk.

Minsk?

Yeah, Minsk.

What is that?

Belarus.

What will you do there?

I'll get married, cousin.

You'll get married? With whom?

With the woman I love.

Who is the woman you love?

I don't know who the woman I love is, but...

...I know I'll find the woman
I love when I get there.

Cousin, remember when tourists
from Minsk came here last summer?

Yeah.

I went and saw them.

I looked at them and said to myself...

..."Halel Ibrahim, the girl
you are looking for is here...

...The person you'll marry is here".

I'll go there and get married.

That's a far away place,
you'll get lost there.

No, why would I get lost?

I know that place like the palm of my hand.

Let me tell you.

Now, this...

...Belarus is an old U.S.S.R. country.

It's in Northern Europe.

And it has neighbors.

Latvia to the north.

Ukraine to the south.

Russia to the east.

Poland to the west.

And Lithuania to the northwest.

They make their living with natural gas.

How do you know all this?

What's strange about it, cousin?

You type it on Google.

Belarus, Minsk. And whoever you
ask will show you where it is.

I thought it was something
special, you idiot.

Guliz?

Any news?

No, dear. He didn't take his
driver or his bodyguard with him.

Something's going to happen to him.

I don't believe it, Cavit, dear.

What are you doing here?
Everyone is looking for you!

I'm on holiday.

Holiday?

Yes, I gave myself time off. Don't
I have a right to have a holiday?

How are you, dear?

Good night.

Where are you going?

I'm too tired. I'll go to bed immediately.

He is not here right now, my child.

He's taken off early in the morning.

Cities are so crowded.

The avenues are crowded.
The streets are crowded.

The cafes are crowded.
The shuttles and the buses are crowded.

Everywhere is packed.

There is no space left
for people in the city.

You're walking on the street
and someone bumps into you.

You decide to sit down somewhere and your
shoulder hits someone else's shoulder.

But look, is it like that here?

Look, there is enough space for everyone.

You feel peaceful just by looking.

You feel happy when you walk.

Guliz?

Hmm?

We are waiting here wondering.

We can't just sit
around and do nothing.

What are we supposed to do?

I say, we should go ashore...

...find Mr. Cavit, pull him aside...

...and talk to him.

You are right.

Of course.

He got caught up in chatting with that maniac
villager and forgot about all his work.

Everyone in Istanbul is calling him.

The phone has been ringing
all day, I swear.

We should go after I swim for a bit.

Hurry up.

Cavit, dear?

Mr. Cavit?

Mr. Moustapha Ali?

Mr. Moustapha Ali?

Mr. Cavit?

Cavit?

This is almost like a
human place, isn't it?

Somewhat.

Let's go over there.

This is wonderful.

This...

...is the kind of life I'm dreaming of.

When I'm retired, of course.

There is no such thing
as retirement in nature.

Retirement is something made
up by the modern people.

Have you ever seen a bird who says
"I'm retired now, I won't fly anymore"?

Retirement is a nice thing, Moustapha Ali.

It's also a necessity.

I'm really worn out.

I lived too fast.

I'm too tired.

That was wrong.

You must live your life slowly.

What's your hurry?

Don't forget that the creature
with the longest lifespan...

...is also the slowest creature
on Earth: The tortoise.

What happened?

Guliz.

What happened?

Guliz...

Do you know how many Euros
I paid for this in Paris?

I saw something over there!

I saw something!

What kind of a thing?

Something black and long.

Guliz?

Could it be a snake?

- Selin?
- Yeah?

Selin, I'm stuck.

Stuck to what?

My hair is stuck. I can't move, I swear.

So, Moustapha Ali...

...that's all nice and well, but...

...how do you pass the time here?
By walking and playing cards?

At least in the city there is
the theater, the movies...

...the ballet, the opera.

How many times a year do you go
to the opera? Or the ballet?

Honestly... Can
I tell you something?

I've never been to the opera or the ballet.

See?

- Guliz?
- Yeah?

We should find someone
who'll take us to the shore.

I know.

What are we going to do here?

I don't know.

I don't like this nature thing at all.

I know.

Is 'Survivor' something like this?

I suppose.

What happened?

- Guliz!
- What happened?

A bee stung me!

It really hurts.

Help!

Guliz?

Yes, dear?

Can you look and see if it's swollen?

I can't Guliz, you know
I can't look at blood.

I'll look.

I can't look either.

Nobody is taking care of me.
What am I going to do?

Oh, my dear.

Isn't there a doctor here? Doctor!

Peace be with you, ladies.

That's a donkey!

Does it bite?

No, it kicks.

What?

I think he said it clicks.

Is everything alright?
Why were you shouting?

A bee stung her.

A bee stung me.

A bee stung you?

It is necessary to pee immediately.

- What is he talking about?
- He must be a maniac.

A bee sting is dangerous.

If you don't pee immediately,
God forbid, you may die.

God protect us.

Guliz?

Umm, where should we pee on?

Wherever the bee has stung you.

No way.

It's your call.

I'm off now.

May you rest in peace.

He is talking about death. God forbid.

- Just a moment!
- Yeah?

Can you...

How would that be?

Who is going to do it?

Your timing is good.

I'll pee on it as a good deed.
I really needed to go anyway.

Guliz, what do you say?

- I think you should let him do it.
- So you say.

He's talking about death and all that.
That's why.

Alright!

Here's a question for you:

Why are all the hospitals
located in the big cities?

It's because people live in the big cities,
Moustapha Ali. Why did you ask me that?

The technology is there.
All the modern equipment is there.

Should the hospitals be located here
instead of the big cities?

It has nothing to do with that.

All the hospitals are located
in the big cities...

...because the root cause for all
the diseases is the big city itself.

Anxiety, stress, noise,
pollution, malnutrition...

...traffic, traffic accidents.

And look at this place.

We produce all of our food.

It's daily, natural, fresh and healthy.

There is no traffic, so there
are no traffic accidents.

One health center is
more than enough for us.

Even our hospital is called
'the health center'.

Around here, we live healthy
and we die healthy.

See?

Alright, ladies? Are you ready?

Okay.

I'm sitting close to you.
I hope it doesn't splash on me.

I want to 'delete' this
moment from my life.

Look, ladies. Bull's-eye.

Disgusting.

Beyond disgusting.

Guliz?

Dear?

Is it over?

It's not. How many days
has he been holding it for?

That's a lot of pee.

My God.

Guliz?

- Dear?
- Get well soon.

Bravo!

This is a miracle.

Everything is a miracle
in nature, Mr. Cavit.

Honestly.

Cavit?

Oh, Guliz, it's you. Welcome.

"It's you"?

Do you know how we came here?

We walked through those hills and rocks.

If a villager hadn't brought us here, we
would have been dead. Did you know that?

You look so untroubled!
I don't believe it!

I'm sorry to hear that. Come,
sit and rest for a while.

We were attacked by hornets!

A bee stung me.

And then a villager relieved himself on me.

It was like we were in 'Survivor'.

Really sorry to hear that.

Dear, what are you doing there?

I'm milking.

You're milking?

Everyone in Istanbul is looking for you.
Phones have been ringing all day...

...and you're milking, huh?

I want to be on holiday for two days.
Don't I have a right to that?

Holiday?

If anybody heard you say
that, they would think

you were sipping margaritas in St.
Tropez.

I don't believe you! Holiday?

What am I going to tell
the people in Istanbul?

Should I tell them, "He's on holiday.
He's become a shepherd"?

Yeah, what's wrong with that? Tell them,
"Cavit has become a shepherd".

Listen, at least turn on your phone, so
that girl can ask you a few questions.

Alright, alright. You return to the boat.
I'll call her. Go on.

Come on.

- Guliz?
- Yeah?

Is this that cow?

Yes, dear, go on.

- Goodbye. Good day.
- Good day.

What did I step on?

What is that?

Nothing strange. Just the
work of our Aphrodite.

Now you really stepped in shit.

- Is this... - Disgusting!
- Disgusting!

It's not disgusting, Ms. Guliz.
Shit is a miracle.

But the modern world has
coded it as 'disgusting'.

Whereas shit is fertility.

It's the life of Mother Earth.

Could we have those tomatoes, those
oranges, these lemons without shit?

The natural system is such a miracle
that if Aphrodite doesn't shit here...

...you can't eat tomatoes over there.

Moustapha Ali...

...you praised it so well that I feel
like wiping it on my face after shaving.

You're disgusting, Cavit. You really are.

Yes.

I'm listening, Doc.

Doc, for God's sake...

...how will I find ammonia
in the middle of a jungle?

I'm experiencing 'Survivor' here.

Green trees, wilderness and all that.

What?

Guliz?

This Professor is telling me that
if there isn't any ammonia nearby...

...I should have peed on it.

Time doesn't pass here.

Look, it's 9 o'clock.

A person would go crazy here.

Well, when are we supposed to sleep?

I don't know. Around 12 o'clock.

Who says that?

I don't know who. But you just don't
go to sleep before 12 o'clock.

Who says you don't?

TV says that.

TV taught us to go to sleep late.

The TV is never turned off anymore...

...and people never sleep anymore.

But not sleeping at night
is against nature.

Humans were not created
to be nocturnal.

If they were, the creator would have
put headlights somewhere on us.

Do you have headlights anywhere?

Okay, but when am I
supposed to go to sleep?

When you feel sleepy.

You don't need to look
at your watch for that.

You sleep when you feel sleepy.

And when you don't feel sleepy anymore,
your body will wake you up anyway.

You don't need to plan
for these things.

To be woken up is the
greatest cruelty to humans.

In my opinion, those alarms that
are supposed to wake you up...

...are the greatest evil to befall
mankind after nuclear weapons.

The modern man has become the slave
of the watch he wears on his wrist.

That watch determines everything.

Look at me, I have no watch, no
cell phone, no money, no debts.

I'm so comfortable like this.

No one meddles with my life.

I sleep when I feel sleepy.

I wake up when I don't feel sleepy anymore.

I eat when I feel hungry.

We were... very
poor, Moustapha Ali.

My father... would
bend over backwards...

...to support us...

...to make sure we got an education.

I'd made a vow in those days..

...that I would become very rich.

I'd set goals for myself.

I reached those goals.

Then I set new goals.

I reached those... and
I set bigger goals.

I lived to reach my goals.

Then I saw...

...that the goals
had possessed me.

While I was trying to reach those goals...

...I was not aware of what
was going on around me.

Both of my children had grown up.

I never realized.

They both went to
the United States.

Now they are not here.

Life passed by so fast.

How did I become like this?

What's going on Shukru?

Who died?

Uncle Yahya died, Moustapha Ali.

He was 94 years old.
He had some problems.

I think he's better off. Don't worry.

We're all going to taste death.

We die, because we are born.

Don't worry.

That's not why we are
worried, Moustapha Ali.

The girl's father will let
someone else marry her.

I think it's time to sell our plot.

Why?

Because nothing is more valuable
than people's happiness.

Let me talk to this girl's father.

I couldn't persuade you.
Maybe I'll persuade him.

Where is he now?

He's in the village.

Good. Get up. We're going to the village.

The deceased was
a very good man.

- He was. We were together yesterday.
- He was.

He was alive just yesterday.

Yes, he was walking around.

- Let his resting place be Heaven.
- Amen.

She sifts flour on the roof...

...with her supple breasts...

...the cruel, cruel bride...

...with her breasts rising...

Hello?

I'm at a funeral right now.
Yahya passed away.

God bless his soul. Yes,
he was a very good man.

May God forgive his sins.
I'll call you later. See you.

Which one is the girl's father?

That one with the glasses.

With the white shirt.

- What's his name?
- Halel.

Hello, Mr. Halel. How are you?
Are you well?

We're well.

How are you? Are you well?

Not bad. Thank you.

They say you took after Moustapha
and went crazy, is that right?

No, I'm quite well, but...

...the young ones aren't so well.

Which young ones?

You know what I mean.

The young ones love each other.
Don't interfere.

He has no job. I won't let my
daughter marry such a man.

The kid has the three
things he needs to marry.

What are they?

A fleece.

A morsel.

And a hut.

Who said that?

The Prophet Muhammad.

See, Halel?

There is no minibus in the top three.

Mr. Cavit is right. Are you
going against our Prophet?

Far from it.

Mr. Halel. What is this
thing we call life?

Here. Two meters of cloth.

He should buy a brand new
minibus and then come to me.

What is this thing you
call a minibus, Halel?

Weddings bring miracles.

Just say okay. And whether you want
a minibus or a bus, they'll get it.

Don't look for happiness in
possessions or property.

"Possessions are a lie,
properties are a lie...

...come and hang around for a while,"
said Yunus Emre.

Go on, just say okay.

And let these kids hang around for a while.

He can come and ask for her hand in marriage.
I'll let my daughter marry him.

The deceased was a very good man.

- He was alive just yesterday.
- He was.

I saw him, too. He was alive yesterday.

He died later, then.

I let my daughter marry him,
but I'm not at ease at all.

Where did that minibus come from?

What is that?

From Mr. Cavit...

...for the groom...

...a brand new... minibus!

Applause!

Play the music!

Do you know what Bukowski said?

What?

He said that weddings
bring miracles.

Really!

I'm sure he must have.

Come on! Come on!

Do you know what Dostoyevsky said?

What?

"Don't think so much in vain.
Get up and dance for a bit!"

Come on, then!

Come on!

So, cousin...

Look!

What is that?

What is it?

What are you looking at?
It's a ticket!

I'm going to Minsk!

To find my love!

Where did you find this ticket?

Remember Dobrovski's words?

"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth".

Not Dobrovski, it's Dostoyevsky.

Whatever the fuck he's called.

Hello?

Daughter, where are you?

What are you doing?

No, I'm just upset.

Did you get your ticket?

What do you mean, you didn't?

You should have found tickets
for a connecting flight.

I'm going crazy here. Really.
