We started

fighting them.

And so on, and so on.

That's it.

ls this a stable?

-Yes.

Let me have a look at that.

That's what happened.

My wife has gone.

What can l do.

lt's God's will.

Saffet, it's late.

Let's go.

Uncle Pire.

-Have a good journey.

Thanks. l'm going back to

lstanbul in a couple of days.

l'll drop by

before l leave.

Okay?

-Yes, have a good journey.

Thank you.

-Definitely not. -Why not?

-We can't do it.

-You can mother. -We can't act.

-l've taken so many video films of you.

-That was just a family video.

-lt's all the same.

-We're too old to act in a film.

-lt will be the same.

l found a grandfather

but he can't act.

-Find another one, are they extinct?

-And he wants a lot of money.

-What money?

-Greedy chap.

What he does so wonderful

that he expects money?

lt's difficult working with other people.

l plan to give the child's role to Ali.

Good choice.

Have you seen the old videos l took?

Let me show you.

Did l never show you them?

-Show them, but you

can't make us act.

lncredible inventions.

Do they shoot the movies

with these small cameras?

l look so old.

You look the same.

Of course l don't. Look at

the lines on my face.

Does video show up the

lines on the face more? -No.

lt's going to rain,

l can hear thunder.

-lt's from the video.

Really, from the film?

ls that a money box

or what?

lt's the stove in the other room.

Time goes by so fast.

We're growing old.

Emin.

Wake up, go to bed.

-What's the time?

Quite late. Go to bed.

-l will.

What about you?

-l won't sleep yet.

l'm going to bed too.

lt's very late.

Good night Mom.

-Good night.

Close the window.

-Yes.

lt's cold outside.

l'll get the things ready

and come, allright mother?

Don't worry l'll drive carefully.

-Still, look out for actors.

-There's no need.

-We can't do it, son.

-You can.

-See you, Dad.

-Have a good journey.

-Do you have any musical watches?

-We do.

l want to listen to it.

-Do you have the money?

-l'll bring it tomorrow.

Can l listen to the music?

When my father gets back

tomorrow l'll bring the money.

Look.

Very nice.

-What are you doing Ali?

-Nothing.

We get nothing in return.

-Has any one rang me, Mum?

-No.

The meal's been

ready for ages. Sit down.

l'll take my shoes off and come.

l didn't clear the table

because you were coming.

Sit down.

lf there's anything

else you want l'll make it.

Eat.

Your father asked for you.

-So?

So what happened.

You've left the factory.

ls it easy to find a job?

-Stop nagging me.

Life isn't like that. -Leave off.

-You gave up that good job.

Can't you

be quiet?

How many jobs

have you had?

You got another one and left that too.

-l've had enough.

Come back, Saffet.

All right,sit down.

His grandfather went to the

trouble to get him to the factory,

But whatever jobs

they found he left them.

l know someone up the street like him.

They think earning

a day's bread is easy.

lt's like

a game for them.

Saffet!

Yes, Dad. -Where have you been?

-l've been out with friends.

What do you mean by being out

with friends? Didn't we get you a job?

l hear you've left the factory.

-Yes l have.

-Why did you leave?

-Muzaffer came. l'm going to..

act in a film.

He promised

to find me a job in lstanbul.

What film?

What's all this about?

We talked to so many

people to get you this job.

Lots of people would bust

their ass for a job like that.

Why did you give it up

for no reason?

Hidayet did you see a group

of people go past here?

The land survey people.

There may also be a forrester.

l didn't see them.

-They might go to my field.

That's why l'm asking.

l'll go and look around.

Look at the fair ground.

-Do you know the land survey people?

-l don't.

You know, dressed in formal

clothes, with a forester with them.

Three four people.

-Car with the 52 number plate.

Yes they're here.

-Where?

-They went past a while ago.

-Did they go this way?

-l don't know. They were there

a while ago, up there.

They bought some bread,

and put it in the car.

Where did they

go then?

The land survey people go

around in a minibus.

And there's

the Tedas people.

l don't mean the Tedas people.

-They install electricity lines.

l don't mean them. The land survey

people measure the land.

Oh, them.

They're here.

They'll be shopping today.

You'll find them in the market place.

Then l'll have a look there.

Kamil, they say the land survey

has arrived. Have you heard about it?

-Welcome. Come.

Come and sit down.

Let's have some tea.

Where have you been?

-l've been around here.

-Take a seat.

-All right.

They say the land survey

has arrived. What are we going to do?

Uncle Emin, l don't care any more.

-What if they take your stable away?

l don't care. l'll pull it down.

They say they're quite

strict this year.

-Who says that?

-Everyone does.

l'm fed up of this business.

l think l should give up.

Actually you haven't got

a village land certificate.

Without a certificate

there is nothing you can do.

The certificate alone is not enough.

lt should also be

at least 20 years old.

ln a way it's good that

they're more strict this year.

The villagers haven't left

much forest around.

They cut down huge pine trees

for a handful of tinder wood.

Uncle Emin,

l don't care.

But it would be a shame

if your field house goes.

l've got a 28 years old

village certificate.

l don't know about that.

Apparently they mark it even if

they see just a couple of trees.

How can they?

There are laws.

lt's down in the records

of the Court of Appeal.

Where the land survey hasn't been

village certificates count.

-Yes, you're right

but you're forgetting something.

Come in, Mr. Eyup.

-ls that you, Kamil?

-lt's me. -The trousers

you made don't fit me.

What's wrong with it?

-lt is too tight. lt needs letting out.

And the waist is too tight.

Don't worry, l'll do it, Sir.

We did a fitting but there

must be a mistake, Sir.

Send it over to me.

l'll do it straight away.

-l'll send it over.

Fine. l'll send it

with the office boy.

-Yes sir, all right Sir.

Bastard.

What can l do

if you've got such a big ass.

Eat all that fattening food.

What can l do if you enlarge

your ass in a week?

Before the phone rang you

said l was forgetting something.

Before the phone rang you

said l was forgetting something.

l wonder what l'd say.

Just think Uncle Emin he stuffs

himself with all that meat and then

his trousers don't fit him.

What can l do if he's got

a big ass.

He needs trimming down

from the back and front.

You see?

-According to the law,

the village certificate..

...is valid in places where

the land survey hasn't been.

Everyone interprets the law

the way it suits them.

The othrer day in our village

they marked Turkmen's trees.

They didn't show

a drop of pity for him.

-Wait a minute, did he have

a village certificate?

l don't know. Maybe he did,

maybe he didn't.

Hasan,

l looked all through the market
