-Why did you come to Ankara?

-I am going to Germany, Bayram.

-Germany?

-Yes, sure. There is priority for members of ''Village Development Cooperation''

So I have registered there

-Is there ''Development Cooperation'' in our village?

-Nope, I registered next village's cooperation.

-If you pay the money, they accept any application.

-I never heard that. But how did you get money?

-My father sold some part of fields and half of the cattles.

-So, is everything ok now?

-It seems so. So I came to Ankara.

-They ask for ''Health Certificate''.

You f*ggot!

F*ggot! Stop here!

Just get out of the car.

You made crack on my Mercedes's windshield.

It is because of the spattering stone by you. Pay it!

-You will pay it! It is my elbow grease!

-You will pay it. You will pay it, twerp!

Ruthless dick! He hit so badly.

It is my fault. Why did I drive so closely to truck?

-Hey driver, we trust you with our lives.

-Firstly, you trust Allah, sir. I am driving for years, but look at him!

He drives crazily.

He is crazy!

What a shame? I worked for years just to buy Mercedes,

then others piss on it.

-We should hang him as exemplary.

-Just Germanist!

-Uncouth!

-Please dont bust up, driver!

Dumbass!

I have headache of starving.

Here is famous for kofte

I hope it is not so expensive.

I already wont eat much

Hurry Balkiz

-Come in, brother.

-Do you cook kofte quickly? I must hurry.

-Cookstove is just turned off.

I can prepare something different if you like?

-I am coming from Germany.

Dont find excuses, please give me kofte.

-Extra onion and pepper..

and bring yoghurt too..

Excuse me, I park my Mercedes in front of you,

but I wont stay so long.

-I think of your health certificate. It can last for weeks.

-You dont need to stay here for weeks.

-I am already living here, I can deal with your documents

-Wheneever I get the documents, I will post them to you.

-By the way, you can spend your time with family

before going to Germany.

-You are right, Bayram. I hadnt thought like this.

-I will miss my family so much.

- I dont know when I can see them next after I go to Germany.

-Dont worry about documents.

Go and enjoy with your family.

Also, you ask Village Cooperation about my situation.

-Maybe I can also attend there.

-Why not Bayram?

-But, can you get the money?

-I will try to borrow.

-And you already go to Germany.

You will earn a lot there.

-Can you lend me some?

After I come to Germany, I can pay back.

-Kofte was delicious. Bring me the bill, and direct me to a barber

-Be careful, young man. Bowl will fall off.

-If you had an apprentice, it would be better.

-Before, I had one.

After meal, I am so drowsy now.

Eschew to sleep, Bayram.

Otherwise, he will scar your face up.

I wish uncle is still alive. He was seriously ill.

-Hey uncle, you scar my face.

-How can I shave if you sleep on armchair?

Ah Kezban!

You should see what comes over me just because of you.

You a**hole!

F*** off!

Well Balkiz. After here, it is my land.

Soon, I will be reunited with Kezban

Possibly she is in village now, waiting for me.

Yasar brother would inform her about my arrival.

-Kezban quit textile job.

-Quit? Why?

-Once, foreman asks her to clean his house.

Then she refused to be charwoman, and quit.

-So? What does she do now?

-Now, she is janitor in a bank.

-Congratulations Kezban!

She is so honored.

-Somehow, I couldnt visit her.

But, hopefully I will go there by car.

Blending period is over.

So stalks are burned.

When I was a child, I just wanted to have toy train.

My homeland doesnt look like yours, Balkiz

-Please, dont do it, uncle.

Please..

-An aged horse is useless, my nephew.

-Is it so easy to feed all of you?

-Please uncle, I beg you.

Dont kill him.

-No avail to cry, Bayram.

I cant feed him for no reason.

Don kill him.

I will feed him,

-I will pick hays for him

-I hope you are okay.

Do you need help?

-No, it is not important.

F*** off, I wont let you touch my Balkiz..

What a Mercedes!

The highest quality, the best of all Mercedes'.

No needed to worry if it is a Monday car or Friday car.

The things that come over us are so tragic, Balkiz.

Ibrahim should curse for my cruelty.

-Health certificates are not ready,yet.

Visit us two days later.

-Recep Tokgoz. Please tell if my health requirements are okay.

-It is prohibited to inform before signing them.

-What happens if he had just said.

I am so curious.

-Thankfully, I am healthy, but

maybe a misfortune occurs.

-Take it easy man.

-I am waiting for my friend, Ibrahim's certificate.

-I already said to come two days later, ok?

Gas is about to end up. And,

It is so hard to find Euro-gas around here.

-Your car is so frazzled, friend.

-You cant imagine whaat happened just before.

-However, it is a great car.

It is still running.

-The rest can be repaired easily.

Pessinus. What is Pessinus?

Wrong direction?

Of course not. This is my village direction.

This wasnt here before.

What a nice farm.

What does it mean?

-Eww! Mercedes is terribly destroyed.

-Why is that car here at that time?

-I think it goes to Pessinus, mum.

Spring water turned into fountain.

Is Ibrahim, whose name written on fountain, Kezban's brother one?

He was so stubborn like his sister.

Will he make trouble for me?

If Kezban wants to marry me, what can he say then?

If not, I will promise him to find a job in BMW.

Surely, I will do my best.

I will become his sister's husband.

It snot so bad for engagement, is it?

I also bring a scarf for her.

Is that a devil?

How can he come here?

-Hello. Your car looks fatigue.

-It doesnt matter. Not so important.

-Do you live here?

-I am from Cakmak village.

-Ismail's wife was from Cakmak village.

-Poyrazkoy? Who? Why?

-They make archealogical digging.

There are many tourists, nowadays.

-The name of village turned into Pessinus.

-What the hell do you tell? Is Poyrazkoy ''Pessinus'' at all?

-There is no village anymore.

All of them are sent away by government.
