A Turkish drama; A story about an architect in midlife crisis who visits his hometown in Northern Turkey and discovers that everything that was once familiar has now changed for the worse. The film has a theme about one man's search for spiritual redemption and cultural identity. It is a slow-paced tale with a painterly feel which suits the material though there are moments when it becomes hesitant and should provide more meaning through plot or character. There is power in the mood of loss and loneliness but this lingers as does the landscape lensing. Interesting, but lacks thematic cohesion.

yusufpiskin4 November 2022Some movies make you feel deeper emotions when they have a counterpart in your life, and you can never tell your troubles to those who criticize that movie aimlessly.
Muzaffer Özdemir, in his documentary Yurt, which he shot with a documentary style, and which is forgotten, conveyed to his audience the anti-HEPP actions taken years later by the villagers, who reproached us for the actions against HEPP I participated in with Kazim Koyuncu in my teenage years in the Black Sea region...
Besides having many surprise names in the cast, Kanbolat Gorkem Arslan played very well, I wish we could see this man in movies like this more.
Cinematographer Ilker Berke is the unsung hero of the movie.
I've been a follower since the movie "Making Ships out of Watermelon Shell"...
