exam this year? - Of course.

The red light of the camera

is on, Muzaffer.

Never mind.

What's the result of your exam?

l failed again.

l looked for a job

and ended up...

working in the factory.

lf this film works out,

will you leave work?

Of course l will.

l think the tape is rolling.

-Never mind, it does.

l will give up my job.

Will you be able to

find me a job in lstanbul?

l guess l will.

As long as it's lstanbul

l don't mind what job it is.

lf not, you can work with

us, we'll take care of you.

Take me to lstanbul

We'll see.

l want to get out of this sh*t place.

Come and sit down.

No, l'm going to read a book.

Mesut loves Ataturk very much.

Can you write it down?

Let's see.

Mesut loves Ataturk very much.

Do you love Ataturk, Mesut?

-Yes.

The sentence is finished Mesut.

What do we put at the end?

-What do we put?

-A fullstop.

Yes, we put a fullstop.

Now let's see

if Mesut wrote it right.

Just a minute.

You can sit down.

Come Tuba, what is wrong here?

Has she written it correctly?

-Yes.

What did Mesut do wrong?

Who knows this sign?

Who knows this sign?

Then tell me!

-lt's an apostrophe.

An applaus for Tuba.

Well done.

Ali!

Come here.

-Where have you been?

-School.

-Which grade are you in?

-2

What do they teach at school?

Nothing?

-They do.

Do they teach you about tortoises?

-No.

-Have you ever seen a tortoise?

-Yes, l have.

-Have you seen a tortoise's home?

-No, l haven't.

Let me show you one then.

Then we'll drink something.

-lsn't this our friend the donkey?

-Yes.

-Do you like donkeys?

-Yes, l do.

-Look it's answering.

l want to know why people use

donkey' as a swear word?

They're such useful animals.

What do they do for us?

-Carry loads.

They have to cary loads?

-Yes.

They are not called

donkey in vain.

The humans are more donkeylike.

-Yes.

My friend the donkey,

my friend donkey the donkey's son.

Ali look, a tortoise.

Come on.

lt's escaping. Hurry.

Not bad!

Wait a minute!

Look at it.

Look how it hides its head.

Let's put it somewhere...

we can shoot it better.

How' s that? -Nice.

-lt is quite an old one.

Have you seen one before?

-Yes, l have.

Ali, come here.

Sit.

Look at me.

Smile.

A little more.

Laugh loudly.

Stop.

Now look sad.

Sulk a little.

Sulk more.

Cry.

Very good.

May be possible.

Don't yawn, are you tired?

Take your hand of your pocket.

-l've got an egg.

Who gave it to you?

-Your mother.

My mother! What are you

going to do with it?

lf l can carry it in my pocket

for 40 days without breaking,

your mother is going to convince

my dad to buy me a musical watch.

Why doesn't your dad buy you one?

-He thinks l'll break it.

But you can't carry it

for 40 days you'll break it.

How many days has it been?

-5.

-No.

How many days?

-35.

Good, you're good at maths.

Why don't you boil it anyway?

lt won't break if you do.

-No, l won't.

-Why?

-That would be cheating.

No it wouldn't.

You'd do better to boil it.

l won't. -What will you do with

a whistling watch?

lt doesn't whistle.

-What does it do?

Play music.

-What will you do with it?

Listen to music.

-Listen to music?

-Why don't you get something else?

-No.

Okay then.

With the heat of your hand

you'll hatch a chick out.

-No it won't.

-lt will. Don't you hear them?

-Those are birds.

-Listen. Hold it to your ear.

Those are birds.

The tortoise is fleeing!

Run! Bring it back!

l have an idea.

Hide the egg somewhere

on the way to school,

you can pick it up

on the way back.

-You can do it every day.

-No.

-Why not?

-Because.

-Why?

-Because that is cheating.

-What do you know

about cheating?

-To trick someone.

-To trick someone!

But you never

trick anyone.

Come here. No running away.

You can't leave like that.

Stay where you are.

Which is the front?

Where's your head?

Are you filming?

Ali get up. lt's raining, come on.

We're going to get wet.

-Never mind. Come on run.

Catch me up.

Catch me up.

l saw Ali today.

Did you give him that egg?

Yes.

l gave it so that he

learns a bit of responsibility.

He won't be able to do it.

l know he won't.

We could have done it

without the egg.

Could it be this one?

-So you think?

Does Uncle Pire live here?

-Why do you ask?

We've come from the homicide desk.

l'm Detective Muzaffer.

And this is lnspector Saffet.

We're investigating a crime.

-ls he at home?

-He might be lying down.

-Does he live alone?

-Yes.

Okay.

ls it this door?

-Yes.

Uncle Pire.

Who is that?

Guests.

-Welcome.

-Are you ill?

-l'm a bit under the weather.

Sorry to disturb you.

-lt's all right.

-Can you get up? -Okay l will.

We're outside if you can

just come for 5 minutes.

l'll come right away.

-We're sorry.

Let's move the table

and sit down.

Come Uncle Pire, come.

-Hello and welcome.

-l guess we disturbed you.

-l'm sorry.

lt's all right.

-Are you ill?

-A little.

lt's old age.

They say you used to do

some plays on feast days.

Yes, we used to

at one time.

We're going to shoot

a film around here.

l see. Okay, okay.

-We'll shoot a movie.

Could you do a couple

of sketches for us too?

-Those days are over,

but l'll give it a try.

-We can give you some money too.

-No need for money.

-Thanks.

-Money for what?

Money comes and goes.

Go and get the camera.

Let's do a couple of test shots.

-Right.

-Did you say something?

My wife died last month.

We took her to the hospital.

-Really. What did she die of?

-We don't know.

They didn't say.

l don't know. So it happened.

Now l'm alone here.

l'm killing time.

lt is difficult

to be alone.

l've got nothing to do.

We all die some day.

There's nothing to be done.

Muzaffer, where are the batteries?

-Look in the front pocket of the bag.

-Which front pocket?

How many front pockets

does the bag have?

-l'm all alone, my friend.

What's to be done? That's life.

No two go at the same time.

One of them always goes first.

That's life.

-Weren't they in the front pocket?

-l misunderstood you.

Take the camera.

See this part.

Read it down to here.

- Right.

Uncle Pire

you'll repeat what

Saffet will read you.

As if...

lt must sound realistic, yes?

-Yes.

Listen carefully.

Saffet, start. ''We went into

the villages to find food.

Again! As if you're telling the story.

Use your hands.

Right. ''We went into the villages

to find food.

We knocked on the door

and a man answered.

He said ''Maho''.

-Hold on, that's no sentence.

We knocked on the door and a man

answered. The sentence goes on.

lt continues with Maho.

-l read it like that. -God!

We knocked on the door and a man

answered. He said Maho.

And that's all.

Then we went to the next house.

Uncle Pire. You have to

say it as if you'd lived it.

l am saying it like he did.

But your hands are

on the table.

But you have to use your

hands and your eyes.

Yes, with your eyes.

Now repeat it again.

Read.

-He said ''Maho''.

And then suddenly on one of the

plains we came across the English.
