If I stopped him.

If I stopped him.

If I told him not to go.

...if I stood like this,

Nuran If I stopped Sadik.

Get your arms down.

For God's sake, pull yourself together.

If I hugged him like this...

...if I told my son not to go.

Don't. You are our father.

Look, we have a grandson,

pull yourself together.

He wouldn't leave, then.

He would stay.

I wish I had said nothing.

I wish I had kept my mouth shut.

I brought about his death!

- I couldn't stop him.

- Uncle Hseyin, please stop it.

Stand right here!

Open your arms!

I said "open your arms".

Sister, are you mad?

Come with me.

Move!

Run towards your dad.

Run. Break through him.

If you don't, your dad will never get

well for all his life. Run!

Catch him. Stop him!

Dad.

I am coming, dad! Get out of my way!

You see? No one can stop the one

who wants to leave.

Oh, no! Salim!

It is all right. You ran and

it is over. Come back here!

He is running towards the river.

He may fall in and drown!

Look how his uniform suits him!

- Let me get your collar.

- Don't move!

- You tightened so much.

- But you are going to be so pretty.

Very well, they all look pretty.

Let's put your handkerchiefs...

...into your pockets so that

they don't call you snotty.

These are the presents from your aunt,

Glbeyaz, for your primary school day.

I mean, for your first school day.

"Primary school day" sounded like

"primary school".

I meant "the first day of school".

What am I saying? You made me confused.

Aunt Glbeyaz, grandpa gave us money,

but you gave us handkerchiefs.

I am not rich as much as your

grandpa, my child.

Sure, not as much as me.

She was going to say "as much as Croesus".

But she got confused, I guess.

Who is Croesus?

There is a scorpion in your aunt's

pocket. She is afraid to be stung by it.

Don't laugh Nuran. Otherwise

I will never come to your house again.

- I swear, I will never come here again.

- I didn't laugh, sister. You misunderstood

Come on, line up. We'll take photos.

Brahim, you do that.

I wish we tidied ourselves up a little,

we'll seem ugly.

- You are OK, mum, come here.

- Come on, Glbeyaz.

- You do it, I don't want.

- Come here, girl! Don't act like a child.

Ready!

- Dad, who is Croesus?

- How should I know?

- I guess, he was one of the kings.

- How is the grandson?

He has to get used to it.

We are trying best to

make him feel better.

He has talked only a few words

last 4 weeks, though.

It should be better for him

if he cried, screamed, let it go.

He is like a small bird

fallen down from nest.

We are so afraid to say anything.

They said it's psychological, he has

just closed himself to the world outside.

I don't know for which one

I should be sorry. Him or my son?

Deniz, let's go.

- My son!

- My grandson!

What is it, my dear?

I missed my dad so much.

Don't be sorry. Look, we are here,

your siblings are here.

Hseyin, Ay segl, your grand aunt.

We are all here.

You don't have to go to school today.

Teachers wouldn't give homework,

this is the first day of school.

Look, you'll have new friends there,

they'll like you so much.

Look, there are horses here.

We can drive tractor,

I can teach you how to it.

Actually, do you know that

people don't die?

God takes them to his side.

We call them "dead", but...

...they actually wait for us in the sky.

- Right, grandpa?

- Sure.

Then, one day we'll all meet up there.

Your dad'll be there, too.

All of us will be there.

We'll look down from the skies.

You are lying. No one will fly.

Of course, we won't fly with our wings.

I mean some other form.

Why would we lie to you?

Look, he doesn't believe us.

We read a book together, remember?

You call it comics.

The guy was flying, don't you believe

him, either? What was it?

Right. Your dad became Superman.

- He is flying in the skies.

- I want him to come down.

I don't want him to fly.

I want him here.

Come with me, then.

I'll show you your dad.

- Grandpa. We entered the secret room.

- Yes, we did. Wait here, it's dark.

Look, Deniz, one of our neighbor

has gone to Germany to work.

His name is Osman.

Look at this.

- A projection machine!

- Right, there is a film in it, actually.

Let's watch it.

Your grandpa asked Osman to bring a

projection machine.

Grandpa shot all of us.

Look, like this.

I used to be a director in the past.

Come on, the film is about to start.

Did you get your tickets?

- Do you have any money?

- Yes.

We have and we have a lot,

you just gave us. Two for me.

Don't pay, my child. He is fooling you.

Grandpa the director,

don't get any money from us.

All right, then.

Only for this time it is free.

- I'll get her money, though.

- Forget it, you nuts!

- Didn't you leave?

- No, we didn't.

They wanted to return on the way.

- There is a projection machine!

- Come on, don't stand by the door.

Let's all seat.

That's my dad!

It is a silent movie.

Dad!

Take it, it's yours.

Don't tell anyone, OK?

You can shoot movies with this.

- Dad.

- My son!

Did you come out of this?

- Are you going to school?

- Yes, did you see me?

- Grandma says that you can see us.

- Yes.

Your uniform suits you so much.

You were very handsome as usual.

- Were you here?

- Yes.

Dad, am I dreaming again?

I don't know, but even if you are,

it is nice, right?

Why aren't you Superman, then?

Because you have grown up.

When a person grows up,

do his dreams get smaller?

I won't be able to see you again, right?

You can see me, if you want.

Yes, maybe none of them

will be that real like it is now.

Because you'll know that

you create them in your mind.

Yet maybe they'll be even nicer, then.

You can direct them as you like.

You can try to make them real.

- This means growing up, right?

- Yes, handsome. This means growing up.

- I wish I'd never grow up.

- Why is that?

- I won't able to see you again, then.

- You'll grow up, you have to grow up.

When you grow up, you won't need

to see me, you won't need me.

Come on, get into the house.

It's going to rain.

Will you get wet?

No, I won't and I'll always be happy,

because you have a home, handsome.

Are you leaving?

Look, let's play a game with you.

Get the camera and shoot me walking.

There is no film in it.

Yes, there is. I put it.

Come on, shoot me.

Bye dad.

Deniz made a promise to his dad

while he was saying goodbye to him.

He would grow up and never cry.

Because he had a superhero dad

even if he doesn't fly in the skies.

Deniz let the superhero leave, because

new adventures were waiting for him.

These happy ending stories

should be told to others.
