Before entering the theater, I fetch only a few information about movie.
Through slow-spaced storyline till the end, the movie captures the life of Yusuf, a man who is long-term sentenced in jail, but gets released due to his health problem. He returns his mountain village to find only his elderly mother's welcome, while his older sister went away to the city because of marriage. He then meets his friend at childhood, who brings him to a girl. Everything starts there.
I love the way the world of Yusuf gets slowly affected by his mother's life, his childhood friend and one young prostitute. These circumstances start to have his memory confronted with reality, after his world of desperation seems in solitude to people. However, the mood of loneliness can be yet overwhelming through the film. And when the desperation and loneliness blend together with uphill atmosphere shot in autumn, the mood and cinematography then undeniably play a great and splendid role to rivet my attention.
This is the first feature film by Özcan Alper, which I can call it a little gem.
