Yes... let's continue from there.
"We, a group of teachers,
wanted to build
a small building in Garip,
one of the area's poorest villages
to teach crafts and writing
to the women of the village.
The mukhtar helped
as much as he could.
However, despite all our efforts,
our resources ran out
with the work not finished.
municipality, but we were rejected.
We have been left helpless, all alone
in the middle of this steppe,
with all our good intentions
and hopes.
While we sat disheartened
seeking a solution,
I suddenly remembered your article
"Flowers of the Steppes".
It felt as if you were describing us.
Me and my friends read
that article again in tears.
Believe me, my intention
is not emotional blackmail.
I want you to know
that I would never feel ashamed
to bow in front of a good person
like you to beg for help
for the unfortunate people
of these arid steppes
where I am proud to be born.
I'll be brief.
Since we heard about your connections
with the wealthy people of the region
and the administration,
and we know you are well connected,
even as far away as Istanbul,
we wanted to tell you
of our situation.
We would like to thank you,
however you respond.
Yours sincerely."
So, well...
That's it.
I don't know.
She appears to be a well-intentioned,
decent, intelligent girl.
Clearly an idealist,
bold and courageous.
Seems like she deserves
some support.
What do you think?
Nihal?
Frankly...
it didn't sound to me very...
I get this every day from all over.
OK.
What exactly didn't
sound right to you?
Well...
Isn't it a bit of a luxury
to build a new place just for this?
It's a tiny village after all.
Normally the mukhtar
gives a space for these things.
You decorate it a bit and you manage.
So I felt it sounded a bit too much.
Even the municipality
refused to help them.
We'll have a hard time finding
common sense in municipal decisions.
Well, I don't know.
And you, Suavi?
I really don't know.
Don't you think you and I,
and a few other local worthies
could get together?
Dear Aydin,
do I really look like a worthy?
My belly is my only worthy feature,
and it's now independent.
However,
I must say
you surprised me, Nihal.
Why?
Well...
Because thanks to you this hotel has
been run like a charity for years.
What are you trying to say?
Well...
When a chronic philanthropist,
who has helped
almost every school in the area,
opposes this idea so firmly,
I fail to understand.
What is there to understand?
It's a matter of urgency.
There are primary schools
with leaky roofs and rotten windows.
Little kids studying
with their gloves on.
Isn't it more logical
to solve these problems first?
We've been collecting donations
for this for a long time now.
But it never attracted
your attention.
So I don't understand
your sudden charity.
Anyway, I'm expecting guests.
I have to go.
Mr Suavi, could you come and see me
for a minute before you leave?
Sure. I'll drop by.
Then I won't say goodbye.
See you shortly.
You know what?
All this poverty and hardship
is like a natural disaster.
In a sense, it's the will of God.
You can't oppose destiny.
But God also gave us intelligence
to fight such things.
That's true.
That's true, however...
there are people
specially created for such tasks.
You should leave
these tasks to them.
You're a creative man.
You are an artist.
Why bother yourself with such things?
Stick to your own work.
Mr Aydin, Hamdi is here.
- Who's Hamdi?
- Hamdi hodja, the imam.
Fine, I was leaving anyway.
Stay a little bit more.
I have loads of work to do.
Loads of work to do on the farm.
I'll show Suavi out.
Bring Hamdi hodja in here.
Alright.
Welcome, Hamdi hodja.
Thank you, Mr Aydin.
You could've kept your shoes on.
It's not that clean.
No, Mr Aydin. My shoes got muddy.
It's better like this.
- Some slippers then.
- No, I'm fine.
Hold on.
The floor is very cold in here.
Fatma, bring me a pair of slippers.
And some tea and cookies.
OK.
Take a seat, Hamdi hodja.
Yes, Hamdi hodja. I'm listening.
To tell you the truth,
I don't know where to begin.
When you came the other day,
it was a bit...
Sorry, just a minute.
It's a bit stuffy in here.
If you don't mind...
I'll open a window.
Yes?
Honestly, I don't know how to put it.
It was embarrassing for us,
I'm sorry, but...
we didn't mean badly, of course.
The kid made a mistake because
he was upset by what happened.
But he's just a kid, after all.
Of course, he is.
But have you asked him why he did it?
After all, the incident
could have had
quite serious consequences.
Yes, of course, I asked him.
And what did he say?
Well, Mr Aydin...
the kid was upset
by the debt collector,
so he went and did
such a stupid thing.
Especially seeing his father
get beaten up.
Beaten up?
When the debt collectors came,
Ismail tried to stop them obviously.
And the police were there.
So things got out of hand.
I see.
So our car paid the price, right?
More or less, Mr Aydin. I apologize.
But now the boy
He wants to come over
and kiss your hand for forgiveness.
No. No need for that.
He regrets it. Really.
But as I said the other day,
we always pay our debts.
I actually have some money now.
So I came to pay for the car window.
How much was it?
It doesn't matter.
Sort it out with Hidayet.
I don't know much about it.
I think it was 70 liras or something.
But it's best you talk with Hidayet.
70 liras?
70 liras for just one window?
That's right.
And it is not the brand-name one.
If it had been...
Hidayet can show you the bill.
Well...
I'm not sure if I have enough on me.
Let me just ask Hidayet
how much it was.
It's no big deal.
There's no rush.
After all, it's just a window.
You think so?
In that case,
I'd better not pay in installments.
I'll pay it all in one go, then.
Just to prevent any confusion.
Hello.
You there?
Nothing, I just wanted to ask
how much the window cost.
I remember you saying 70 liras.
Really?
I got it wrong then.
OK, alright.
Fine, no problem. Never mind.
I was wrong. It's 170, not 70.
170 liras?
But how come?
That's how much it cost.
Hidayet can show you the bill.
I forgot to ask
if he took a bill though.
That's strange.
It's just a window.
Really strange.
There must be some mistake, surely.
What's this?
Are there no men's slippers?
No, we don't use any at the hotel.
Fatma had these at home.
No worries, these will do.
As long as they keep the cold off.
Where shall I put the tea?
Here. Let me move this.
Hamdi hodja, come here.
Thank you.
Now, Hamdi, listen...
I've got various houses and shops
in town.
Not just mine actually...
They're my sister Necla's too.
If I tried
to look after them all myself,
I'd have no time to work
on my book and articles.
See what I mean?
So I let Hidayet and the lawyers
deal with the rent and lawsuits.
