I was sure you will not

waste a drop of raki.

What if it wasn't me

but a raving madman?

I took my chance.

To your luck.

- You two got too old.

- This is life.

- Me?

- You?

- Did I get old?

- Well...

Well, what?

- Same as we did.

- F*** you!

So?...

- The leading role!

- The leading role?

But you will bring your costumes.

I wasn't the only lucky one.

A leading role proposal to a man

living in such a deserted place...

...without any address.

Now I'm reading Cihat's mind:

'Let me read the script first, if

needed I will ask for changes. '

Changes? The actor doesn't have

a word to say about the script.

I won't let you change

a single word.

- I quit cinema.

- Don't talk nonsense.

I wrote this character for you.

No one else will play this role.

Cinema is dead for me.

"Deserted Lands" was

my last film.

A nice jubilee.

Actors can't make jubilees.

Actors stay on the stage

till their last breath.

Anyone can act,

but I'm not in.

Even not for my sake? I put all

that I have, won't you support me?

Ask for my life, it's yours, but

please don't ask me that.

- But why are you so rigid?

- Forget about it.

Please don't persist.

Hey what are you doing?

- Taking your picture.

- Don't.

I said no. Stop it.

Don't take my pictures.

Cihat Alkan will die young.

He won't get old.

He will die young.

No one will see him in this shape.

He will always remain handsome.

He will always remain handsome.

He will always remain handsome.

Sorry for the camera.

No problem. It was

discarded as we are.

Won't you say anything?

Film or?...

Are you mad at me?

Your words are depressing.

I'm not saying anything.

Then your silence is depressing.

Who is going to play this role?

Willy-nilly Semih Altnba,

under these conditions.

What? How can you give

him the leading role?

He is very well disciplined.

He is an usher. How would such

a curtain operator dare acting.

Everyone deserves a chance.

You will ruin the film. At least

find a proper man for the role.

The problem will be over if

you play that role Cihat.

No I won't play but at least

find someone proper.

Let me think about it.

Aziz...

How can't one accept

getting old?

This is the rule of nature.

Who could stand against it?

Have you ever been in front

of the cameras Cemil?

Have you ever have had trouble

walking in the streets...

...and thought everyone

loves you?

Could you handle all this?

If we had been on the top it

would it be easy to step back...

...to get old, and

to become ugly...

It is not easy Cemil. Not at all.

Where will you put my

name on the poster?

Moreover, we need to

talk on the script.

Ekrem, Ekrem, they are back!

- You found him, huh?

- Of course.

- Welcome!

- Thanks.

- Yeah, welcome!

- Thank you.

- You look the same.

- Don't lie to me, I got old.

Not at all, you have

a different charm.

- Seriously?

- Let's take them to the hotel.

Forget the hotel, you

are staying with me.

Of course we are not paying for the

hotel, Aziz you are staying with me.

OK, then.

- Let's have tea first. Bar up the suitcases.

- OK.

Come on then.

Have a seat.

- Who is he?

- My assistant, a new-hire.

- You hired him?

- Yes, isn't he quick-witted?

Give him some time,

let him perform a bit...

...then we will know for

sure if he is eager or not.

He is eager, he is.

Isn't it too costly?

Previously it was higher, but I

gave up on several things...

...and reduced the

price to this much.

- Can't you get more of a discount?

- Impossible.

Son, why don't you go out,

have some fresh air?

Me? Yes, sure.

I only have half of the money.

Half? What are we

going to do then?

Well, I've got 10 thousand bucks.

- No, I can't take it.

- Why not?

No, that is your guarantee

for your future.

We are close to death. What

use of the money shall I make?

You never know, you

might need it sometime.

Then, let me be your partner.

Then your money

will go to the bin.

We may save it from

the bin if you pay me back...

...from the returns of the film.

Count me in too. Someone

owes me 3.000 bucks...

...up to now I did not bother

to ask for it but now...

...I will get that money

and we'll become partners.

And I had a car, Kartal.

I didn't sell it when they offered

I have a small stash.

If needed I'll also ask around,

let's just shoot this film.

Thank you very much

my friends, thank you.

The equipments are in good

shape, really good, but...

The rent you are asking is so high,

even more than the leading role's wage.

- This is how the market is now.

- Prices have gone too high.

They are all imported equipments

and are well-maintained.

What if we only hire

the equipments...

...but find the staff ourselves?

- Not an option.

This is a matter of principle.

Can't you make more

of a discount?

No, otherwise I won't

earn anything.

Do you know who created

Turkish Cinema?

Who shot the first films, who

brought which innovation?

You are reluctant to rent these

equipments to these film-makers...

...but you owe these men the

equipments you own today.

Pardon me?

If they hadn't served Turkish

Cinema, laid this foundation...

...just think if you could

have all these equipments.

Would there be anyone

shooting any film today?

Would you be earning

money out of this?

Well...

I mean you owe your life,

your job to them.

Giving a discount isn't

only a nice gesture...

...but your obligation

to these gentlemen!

What is your aim,

to be a producer?

- No, I want to be a film director.

- You too?

But first of all, I want to go

abroad and study cinema...

...to learn it.

Somehow, the new generation

think they have mastered...

...the job from the start and

oddly enough, believe that...

...they can handle the

camera right away.

At least we are done with

renting the lighting equipment.

I wonder if we can afford

the remaining expenditures.

Is the money in

a deposit account?

Why did you ask?

- Why don't we open a time deposit account?

-Time deposit?

Then how can we

spend the money?

We can't draw it before

the due time.

- Well, how about mutual funds?

- What funds?

Mutual fund. Like a daily interest,

free to be drawn any time.

- It is true?

- Of course!

We can open a new account at a

bank close to the main locations...

...and draw money for

the daily expenses.

Moreover we may

earn some money.

Let's say we may improve the

catering services to the staff...

...or finance an additional

day of shooting.

Aziz, it makes sense to me.

Okay then, good for

you boy, you are a genius.

Hey boy, have you been

sent here to bring us luck?

You are embarrassing me.

People talk about

the generation gap...

Why did you call me? Why

are you looking at me like that?

- We ask you to tell an innocent lie.

- Lie?

Yeah, a lie that will lead

to good deeds.

You will go to Tatyos...

Do you want me to

lie to my master?

Yes, you'll tell him that

you were after his place.

What the hell are

you talking about?

Listen up first.
