I am not clean.

What ever happens, happens.

We can change it.

We're going to the police.

Tomorrow, OK?

Sir, we need to ask you a few questions.

Yourson Ahmet filed a complaint.

These youngsters...

You know how my wife can get... Nevermind.

Hello, you're still sleeping?

Don't shout.

I need a driver.

Can, have you gone nuts?

Yourfoolish aunt didn't tell me...

Thanks to Ahmet,

she doesn't know.

Come in... Come in.

I'm going to kill youraunt.

She nevertells me anything.

Look at his gorgeous eyes,

his pearly teeth.

Mom, don't embarrass him.

Why didn't you tell me

you were coming?!

What's that hair,

p*ssy boy?

It looks beautiful.

Don't you ever risk

your life like this again.

Mom...

I'lljoin the army.

Silly boy.

F... ing liar...

My son would never upset me...

I'm so broke, nobody will give me a job...

You can find so many jobs...

I can send you money...

How the hell can you?

My aunt is having a hard time...

What now?

Because of the army,

I haven't seen daylight for years.

You can go-go dance

in the army...

Cihan, go get some air.

Yourdaughterwill come back

as a man from the army.

Save it for your hairy ass.

Excuse me?

Cihan, come on, son.

Sorry, dear.

How did this army thing came up?

Look what the military did to yourbrother...

Yourfather...

I don't want to loose you either.

I'm doing this

for all of us, mom.

Hi!

No, thanks.

Are you also the pride

of yourparents?

Just like me,

you're not sure.

My fatherwas a soldier,

I always wanted to be like him.

He used to say:

"I am so proud of you, son".

Attention!

Combat boots on,

guns ready, attack!

One afterthe other...

They all die...

Dad would be

so proud of me.

At ease!

At ease, huh?

Dad is dead.

My condolences.

We owe our lives to dad.

I owe everything to him.

Soldiers are immortal,

nations are indivisible.

You'll f***ing serve the army too,

you p*ssy boy Can!

P*ssy boy!

We should leave now.

These hands were so tiny.

Size of a cat's paw.

They said you wouldn't live.

So tiny.

Now look at these...

Why don't you join a support group

forfallen officers' families?

You're always at home.

It's not that.

It's the seaside I miss.

I can't rememberthe last time

I walked on the beach.

You're in lzmir, the beaches are

only minutes away from here...

How can I leave your brother

on his own?

Let me go.

Let go.

I wish we were easier kids.

I wouldn't exchange either of you

forthe entire world.

Let the world see

what a true son is.

Mom... Leave me.

Please excuse the drama.

Say hi to yourparents.

Mom, come here.

We leave and

you stay here, OK?

Promise to write!

Promise me.

Call them to come back,

right away.

Kezban, what are you angry for?

Aren't you the one

who had Ahmet followed?

There is something fishy

about the whole thing.

He said Ahmet is clean

but I am sure he isn't...

Call the girl to come back.

There is no point keeping herthere.

Mom. Someone's at the door!

Is Can Ozturk here?

Hold on.

You a**hole.

Amoustache?

My lover likes it.

You ruined a good job for a f***?

Something could have happened to you.

You never called.

What's wrong with you?

He is in deep sh*t.

You don't even know him.

His family doesn't accept him.

I can't leave him here.

I don't understand why

this should be your business.

He will be saferwith me.

"German rescues gay lover

from radical Islamic family..."

Perfect!

Have you gone nuts?

Not only that, I love him.

Why don't you adopt a gay boy

from all nations of the third world?

You could build

a rainbow community.

I can't abandon a person in need.

Those kids in Afghanistan

were going to die anyway.

There was a war going on.

I didn't even

speak the language.

I shouldn't have pushed

forthose pictures.

You could have stepped

on those mines yourself.

I'm the one who lives

with this every day.

There're mines everywhere.

I can't keep doing this.

If he everbreaks your heart,

don't call me.

What's up?

She won't stop.

She starts calling at 5am everyday.

I'm really sick of lying for you.

Is it worth it?

What are you hiding?

Whatever it is,

just be brave and come out with it.

They delivered this yesterday.

Dad, I need to tell you something.

I passed the exam.

Good job.

God bless you son.

When do you think

you'll be here?

Dad, please.

I beg you, don't...

We're going to

introduce you to a nice girl.

Dad, what could I possibly do there?

Apply for your military service,

and come back to Urfa.

Yourpast, yourfuture, your destiny...

It's all here...

He doesn't care. Why couldn't you

ask about the police station?

Why didn't you make him come back?

I'll find a way.

He's got little left to finish.

While we eat sh*t there?

You are bankrupt.

We're living in misery and he dishonors us.

You even sold yourgold teeth.

People are laughing at us.

We were taken to the police.

People make fun of us

on the streets, in the mosques...

I'd give you anotherson right now,

but it takes a real man.

I gave you

a son and a daughter.

Yourson didn't turn out

to be a man.

Stop this nonsense, Kezban.

God damn you...

You f*ggot.

He took after you.

What have you got here?

You're weak and mute.

God, damn you!

You have no pride.

You have no dignity, no honor.

Look at your honor...

It's being trampled on.

You're an absolute disgrace.

It's my conscience

that stops me.

Do you think I am not sad?

Traditions matter more

than ourconscience.

Go ahead, hide in the barn,

cover your head.

I told you when he was a little boy...

...to get rid of the Zenne then.

You paid no heed.

God forgive us forwhat we've done

or are about to do.

I can not act

until I have concrete proof.

We believe in the same God, Kezban.

He will whisperto me.

I wish you'd stay.

When mom gives orders,

you have to obey...

You are still in college,

are they sick orwhat?

Bankruptcy!

He's broke.

They can't afford

to support both of us.

I f***ed up yourlife as well.

Never mind.

I'll pay forthat too.

You take care of yourself.

Murat, I need yourhelp.

I am pregnant...

I want this child

but not marriage.

If we get to the point...

Sis?

Yeah, we are all fine.

Can?

No, that's not what I meant.

I was going to go to the

army recruiting center...

a German photographer

was studying my art.

Are you a f*ggot?

Did you apply foran exemption?

Would you like coffee?

I want to take you to Germany.

What would I do there?

You'll stay with me.

My house big.

I'll do everything for you.

The military won't let go of me.

What kind of photos

do they want?

Holy sh*t.

Disgusting.

They must really enjoy this.

Sukran, could you make tea for us?

I really don't like

what I'm hearing.

You guys will drive me crazy.

Between my mom, the cops and no job.

We haven't even paid the rent.

Why?

It's been paid.

How?

Here.

Did you pay it?

Don't I live here?

How many times have I told you?

Enough!

I support this house.

I am not a sponger.

I sleep here, eat here.
