This film proves that a very good film can be made out of a mediocre novel. I went to the cinema forced by my girlfriend and came out of it thoroughly impressed and touched. The film divided the male and female audiences in Turkey, and I am happy to say I am not one of the Turkish males who felt "slapped" by this movie. Having said this, if your idea of life is soccer and drinking booze, this is not a film for you. For the other lesser beings such as myself, I would like to add that this is one of those rare films we see in the world today that will change one's life. It is also a revolutionary film for the Turkish cinema, finally an intelligent and sensitive departure from the stupid slap sticks of the recent years toward bone dry reality about everyday Turkish life. I strongly recommend it.
