Aziz.
Is that you?
I came back Ekrem, I'm back.
Aziz?
My God, you are here...
Believe me, I am innocent,
it wasn't my fault.
I am back.
I came back, stanbul,
I am back...
I knew you were stubborn,
but this is more than that.
My heart gave me trouble. It
tested me. I survived this time.
But I don't know about
the second time.
Come on Aziz, stop whining;
now it's our turn...
I will not die before
shooting this film.
It's great if Azrael is favoring
the film-makers.
We can shoot one
after another, huh?
Don't delude yourselves.
God will say "stop" and there
won't be any film anymore.
This movie business is not
like in the old days Aziz.
We need a lot of money.
- I sold everything.
- Everything?
- The pension?
- Yeah! Even the pension.
The boat, the car,
whatever I had.
I brought this with me:
"The Blood-Brothers".
Have you lost your mind Aziz?
How can you rely on
just one movie?
What will I do with the money?
There is no one to leave behind.
The town I've been to
was like heaven.
It has great weather, the locals
and nature is breathtaking.
Yes, I finally found peace there.
But still something is missing.
But I couldn't shake
off that feeling.
I put my life in the line for this.
Shall we shoot this movie?
Are you with me?
I'm with you buddy!
You?
Stop asking rhetorical
questions.
- To your movie...
- To our movie.
To our movie.
I want the soundtrack
right away.
I want to hear the music
while shooting the movie.
I need an advance
payment first.
OK. Here you go.
Everything will be
the same as before.
We will gather the
full team again.
Music by: 'Cemil Tezer'.
Lighting by: 'Ekrem Demir'.
Chief Assistant: 'Salim Turgut'.
Storyboard: 'Rza Yenign'.
Aziz...
- Stage Supervisor: '...
- Aziz!
Rza...
- When did he pass away?
- Last year.
When he was in the hospital
you know what he said?
'Screw everyone who cries
for me after I am gone. '
Aziz, who will be the
leading actor?
I'm thinking of Cihat.
What! Isn't he a bit old?
No, I wrote this role for him.
It can't be someone else.
Then the leading
actress is Leyla?
No way.
Why not? Didn't you write
this role for Leyla?
That is another story.
So, who is going to
play that role then?
We will find someone.
Don't be ridiculous Aziz...
Stop fooling around...
You wrote the entire
script for her.
If Leyla is not in the movie,
forget it then, it won't be the same.
Stop, stop it! Leyla won't
be in this movie.
You got it?
She will not!
Aziz, thirty years have
passed since then.
You couldn't get over it yet?
I did.
I have closed that Leyla page.
I've closed it forever.
Paspas come here, here
sweetheart, come...
- Hi, hello...
- Welcome Adalet.
I was so happy when
I heard it.
I couldn't sleep at all last night.
You are so secretive!
How could you keep this good
news to yourself all this time?
Good news?
Look at you! Still not
spilling the beans.
OK, sweetheart I am not
going to ask you to...
...get me a part in the movie.
I won't nag you, I swear.
- What are you talking about?
- "The Blood-Brothers".
"The Blood-Brothers"?
It is hard to believe.
After all these years you
will play the leading actress.
- Aziz is back. Right?
- You did not know?
Is someone else getting the part?
He is back, huh?
Did I drop a brick?
I am sorry Leyla,
but how could I know?
I'm such a blab.
But I heard, they were gathering
the team and I thought you...
Anyway, forget about it.
Look, why don't we get something
like a cake and go over there...
...to celebrate and
wish them good luck?
You will see everything
will turn out okay.
No way!
I am not wanted there.
I won't.
Hey, you watch it, I don't want
goofing around at the set.
Come on now... You think
I would do something like that?
Absolutely!
How can we trust you?
Watch your words Ekrem.
You are talking to the
Chief Assistant here.
What a Chief?
You are only a lottery-man.
I only make my living from it.
My profession is
film-making you know.
Hey, stop teasing him.
Look he has already found
the locations where...
...we will set up to
shoot the movie.
Did you, really?
Why don't you tell then?
You didn't let me.
I have found a perfect place
for the leading actress' house.
- My uncle's place fits perfectly.
- The waterside residence?
- Ready.
- How much will it cost?
Nothing! Instead the owner will
have a small role in the movie.
Nonsense.
This is not a kid's game.
Then you will shake hands for
one and a half bucks per day.
- One and a half?
- Billion...
We will see.
We still have to rent
the equipment...
...build the team and
arrange the actors.
We have a lot to do.
Lots of stuff.
It has always been that way.
What is it, is it now difficult
because you are getting old?
Did you find Cihat?
No, that is a mystery, he has
vanished into thin air.
Shit. Couldn't make it...
- A phone number, an address?
- No, I couldn't find anything.
What kind of assistant
are you?
You are not capable of
finding the actor.
Now it is my fault?
The man is missing.
Nobody knows where he is.
We don't even know
if he is alive.
But he is alive? Isn't he?
Yeah, sure...
Well, hopefully...
He had sent a letter
to me asking...
...my help with a
problem of his.
- When?
- 15 years ago.
Did he mention his address?
- Where did he mail it from?
- I don't know.
Wasn't there any postage
stamp on the envelope?
I guess so...
Then find the letter. He may
still be at the same address.
Tatyos?
He is in a nursing home I heard...
- Nursing home?
- Yeah.
Was he unable to work?
Have you ever met anyone
who will come out of...
...a nursing home to
be a cameraman?
I didn't, but it doesn't
mean it's impossible.
If needed he will get out
of the nursing home...
...and undertake his job.
Chill out; are we going
to fight over this?
Speaking of fighting...
Hakk was assaulted.
- Hakk? Which Hakk?
- The producer Hakk.
No! How is he now?
In the hospital, he took
a bad beating.
Let me have some fresh air.
After that we'll visit Tatyos.
But why would someone
attack a man that age?
Time has changed master.
Nowadays no one has mercy.
But why did they do it?
Who beat him?
Come on in, come on,
Come on in. Enter that way...
- Hey buddy, are you all right?
- Are you okay?
- Help him get up, are you feeling okay?
- Are you alright?
I'm fine, I'm fine, thanks,
I'm okay, thank you.
A glass of water sir?
- You?
- Yes, it is us...
Aren't you going to welcome us?
- Aziz...
- Finally.
My dear brother.
I thought you became senile.
- Ekrem, my brother...
- You see, we found you.
I'm so glad you did. Don't stand
on your foot, sit down here.
When I heard about the nursing
home, I thought you were crippled.
But thank God you are
in good shape.
Neither illness nor old age but
life itself crippled me Aziz.
If you loose hope, if you don't
have any direction in life...
Anyway, what made you
come here to stanbul?
We are shooting the movie.
Good, at least you
have a purpose.
- We have a purpose! We.
- We?
Yeah. You also are
part of the crew.
You don't think I will be
the cameraman, do you?
Me... The cameraman...
Please, for my sake.
For goodness sake Adalet,
what are we going to do there?
You will do the same as we do.
Just have a drink and have fun,
women to women, that's all.
- But I don't know your friends.
- Doesn't matter.
What are we going to talk?
Don't be ridiculous Leyla.
'No' is not an option.
You are coming with me, that's it.
You are so persistent Adalet.
Okay, I will go with you.
Great, I knew you would say yes.
I used to have an assistant,
but couldn't trust him.
I was worried that he might
have ruined the film since...
...he was young and inexperienced
and he might make mistakes.
I have put a check mark on all
the film bobbins, I thought I did.
But apparently I didn't.
I skipped over 2 of them;
then I over-shot them...
Such a bullshit...
Take it easy, everyone
makes mistakes.
- Yeah! You are right.
- Yeah, take it easy.
You will hear a few cuss words,
you will be upset for a while...
...and then everything
will be forgotten.
That is not what
happened though.
No?
In the beginning I felt sorry, but
as time passed I turned mad at myself.
I thought they would not
offer me a job for a while.
But when the producer sued me...
Sued you? Bastard!
I wasn't mad at him.
He was right.
- He had spent a lot of money.
- Whatever he spent!
He didn't go hungry, huh?
Some guts he has.
So what did the court say?
Not surprisingly,
I was found guilty.
To pay for the damages
I had to sell everything.
After that I ended up
with nothing.
And since that day I never
touched the camera again.
Go ahead find yourself
another usefull cameraman.
And let me just rot here.
Well, whatever happened
is now past my friend.
After all you are with us.
We won't let you go.
Just forget it.
I did that shit myself so
I deserve the punishment.
I won't even shoot a photograph
for the rest of my life...
...let alone shooting a film.
I was tempted and
came here but...
Stop grumbling. Thanks to me
you got out and got some fresh air.
So why didn't they show up yet?
Such a coincidence.
What's up? Are you
drinking without us?
Why don't you sit down?
No, no, we are supposed
to meet some friends...
Stop worrying about your friends.
Have a seat, let's chat.
Welcome Aziz.
I heard you are shooting
your movie, I'm so glad.
We will see...
I still look young,
don't you think so?
- Welcome...
- Thanks.
We can't stay for too long.
Your friends are awaiting.
Which friends Leyla?
Sit down.
Sit there.
I'll sit near you.
Yeah, sit down.
Please go on, I need to go.
Aziz!
Aziz!
I didn't know.
Adalet brought me.
I can guess.
But this is, walking away is hurtful.
I said I had to go.
We are not able to exchange a
few words after all this time?
The world changed,
the maps changed...
...but you remain the same.
How can a man carry all this anger
with him after all these years?
Did you ever wonder why
I moved to such a small...
...remote town?
Because, there were no
movie theatres there.
There wasn't any chance
to see your poster.
I fled from you.
I have drawn back from
you to save my mind.
It is all over. All remained
in the past.
No, nothing remained in the past.
It has been 30 years but your
posters are still on the walls...
...and I'm obliged to walk
through these streets.
- It was my life.
- Wasn't it mine too?
Is it fair to see the woman
I love in that situation?
- Isn't it cruelty?
- Don't blame me Aziz.
- I didn't give you my word.
- I was going to propose you.
- But, you didn't.
- If you were patient enough...
Even my cues were ready.
I was going to say:
'Will you play the leading role
in my movie and my life?'.
But you have chosen to play
in those kinds of movies.
Everyone was in those films; the
lighting crew, the cameraman...
But you shouldn't have.
You made your choice,
A choice without Aziz.
I only had one alternative.
A way to walk without Leyla!
Have you ever made a
soundtrack to a sex film?
- No, why did you ask?
- Nothing, just curiosity.
- Now I remembered, I did once.
- What?
I took it from Bilal.
No job, no money at those times.
I gave 2 or 3 pieces in
return of that money.
Then I heard he used
them in a sex film.
Thank you, good job,
thank you very much.
There it is.
- Searching for a man without any evidence.
- What?
God help us. All we
have is that one letter.
Come on, stop grumbling.
Hello, hi.
- Hi there.
- Hi.
Officer, was this letter
mailed from here?
- Yes, why?
- Then, you know Cihat.
- Pardon me?
- Cihat Alkan, the famous actor?
Yes, I know. I have
watched some of his films.
But what is the connection?
Because he had posted
this letter from this village.
- We believe he lives here.
- Are you kidding us?
What will such an
actor do in this village?
Yeah, this is such a
god-forsaken place.
But he must be here.
Look my friend, I have been
living here for 40 years...
...and no actor ever came here.
- Are you saying that no one but the villagers live here?
- Yes.
Are you sure? We came
all the way here.
There is someone at the top
of the hill. But he is nuts.
Nuts? May it be him?
He is mad!
No one knows who he is...
...but he has been living on
that hill on his own for years...
Can you please describe
that place?
He can't be the man
you are looking for.
- Let us take our chance.
- You'd better not.
The house is there!
This is nonsense. No...
We were living in the
middle of concrete.
No way Cihat could live in there.
- He must have lost his mind?
- Even you?
If he is as mad as they have told?
Cihat...
No, Cihat won't go mad.
Then, this must be
someone else.
We will figure it out.
Hi there? Are you there?
Stop it you bullshit. Don't shoot.
Be quite. Don't drive the
nutty crazy. Don't say a word.
Piss off, walk away or
I will shoot.
This is not Cihat. He
is really nuts, let's go.
- Where are you going?
- Didn't you say...
...I'm not going to die
before shooting the film?
Let's not then;
instead shoot the film.
Hold on a second. Cihat,
is it you?
This is Aziz and Cemil, your
best friends, remember?
Fuck your Cihat?
Who is that Cihat?
Look at us! We came all
the way from stanbul...
...in order to comprehend
with a crackers.
If you don't piss off immediately,
I'll fill your heads with bullets.
Cihat have a look,
we brought you raki.
I'm not drinking. It's harmful.
What the hell are
you doing Aziz?
- Then I will break the bottle.
- Stop, don't waste it.
- You are Cihat.
- I'm not. I am going to shoot you.
Aziz lay down, he is really nuts.
Okay, I am not responsible for
the rest. One; are you Cihat?
- No!
- Sorry for the raki.
- Two; Are you Cihat or not?
- I'm not the fucking Cihat.
OK, how you wish, pity for
the whole bottle of raki.
Three...
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.
- Fuck 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.
You will say: I always dreamed
of being a cameraman...
...it was me erasing the
check marks on the bobbins...
...and it wasn't your fault.
What?
No way!
Why not?
It will be my end if the word goes
around. I will be discredited.
- Don't worry, nobody will know.
- It will finish my career.
Look son, Tatyos' career
has already ended.
This is the only way to bring
him back to the set, to life.
- But I...
- Promise, we will keep it in between.
But still, excuse me.
You have no other way,
you will.
- No way!
- None!
Have you ever been
beaten by oldies?
No, no, are you...
Yes, the over-exposure
of the films was my fault.
Impossible, does it
mean you deliberately...
Yes, deliberately...
I have coveted your place, I
was bored of being an assistant...
...and my goal was
to be a cameraman.
You? How could
you do that to me?
I know it is a big stupidity, maybe
ignorance. Please forgive me.
Forgive you?
You fucked my life!
Master, master, don't,
calm down.
- You bastard!
- Just a second...
Stop, don't run away.
Master, don't hit me.
Just a second, let me explain...
Come here, explain it to this.
- Leyla, what are you doing here?
- Waiting for you.
- Me?
- Yes...
What is this?
I just wanted to make
a small contribution.
- For the film?
- Yes...
- No, I can't take it.
- Why not?
He won't give you a
part in the movie.
Doesn't matter.
Besides, he won't accept
your money, keep it.
Then keep it between us.
You may say someone has
supported, buy negatives with this.
Thank you.
Give your word, he will
not know about this.
I promise, he won't.
Let's take the plan in one shoot.
- Tatyos...
- What?
Where do you take in one plan?
Tatyos!
Isn't he your assistant?
Aziz, I do accept your proposal.
What, you do?
I have a last word to
say to this industry.
- Yeah, but you can't runaway then!
- I walk my talk.
What made you
change your mind?
I have nursed a viper
on my bosom.
Listen to this vagabond,
this scroundel.
He has things to explain.
Working from morning till
evening is not preferable.
I'll come just before my
shooting begins and...
...leave as soon
as I'm done.
I want the schedule
one week ahead.
So I'll know the working
hours in advance.
One more thing, I'll charge
the cab if I work late.
Okay, we'll let you know.
OK. But be quick because
I have 3 more interviews.
Just for your information.
Bye.
Now son, we are shooting a cinema
film named "The Blood-Brothers".
We need an assistant,
are you experienced?
In other words, who
did you work with?
Hold on a second, are
you questioning me now?
- No.
- No, not really.
Only trying to find out if you
are the appropriate one or not.
If I am appropriate? What
gives you the right to do that?
What? What gives
us the right to...
- Have you ever asked me?
- Asked what?
- May be I did not like you.
- How can you...
No, well, you might be
right in your own way.
Which films have you
shot up to now?
Do you have any awards?
Are your films on show
in festivals?
What will I get from you?
You know what, you are
already out of circulation.
Hard to believe we
are saying 'action'.
At last.
Pass me the schedule,
lottery-man.
Here you go, green-grocer!
Look at him; wearing earrings.
If you bungle again this time...
- Of course not.
- Of course you won't!
Then how will you explain
the bullshit in the past.
Calm down Tatyos.
He asked for your foregiveness,
come on, forgive him.
This scene is still the same,
you haven't changed it.
Yeah, I worked on it, tried to look
from your perspective but...
- So what?
- Didn't make sense.
What do you mean
it didn't make sense?
You claim I was talking gibberish?
If I'm not comfortable with things,
I won't have them in my script.
And I'm not playing the film
script I'm uncomfortable with.
Unbelievable. You have
absolutely no patience.
Couldn't you wait till
we go to the set?
If you don't do as I say,
then I'm not going to the set.
You can't threaten me Cihat!
You have forgotten who I am.
You have also forgotten that
I'm the fastest man picking...
...up his jacket to walk away.
Driver drop me here.
- Cihat, don't...
- Driver stop here.
I wish you success gentlemen!
- Thank you!
- Aziz, stop him.
He can't touch my script.
I really forgot this industry
and missed even the fights.
I will burn all my
bridges if I have to.
- Okay.
- What's OK?
Means OK. He said
he'll look into it.
- We will look into what?
- Means we will find a mid-way.
No, he must accept what I said.
Don't back out Cihat,
play the game...
...this is his film,
let's find a mid-way.
Come on, we are getting late,
the work will be delayed.
OK?
I'll be the one behaving
maturely again.
- There it is.
- Here we go.
Banu, honey, you are
sending me to the set...
...but there is no press
or anything here...
- Bar!
- This is not acceptable, no...
- Bar! Where is Bar?
- Stop putting on make-up...
...while I'm on the phone.
He told he'll be late, remember,
he has an exam today.
Such a determined boy.
He is not only studying but working
for his pocket money as well.
- How long will it take?
- Ready in 15- 20 minutes.
- Then let's go together.
- Where?
To draw money
from the bank.
I'm not good at it but you can,
let's go.
When is your fashion show?
- Your PIN number?
- 1-1-1-1.
Is it because you were
afraid of forgetting it?
How did you know?
Because you are new at
this password thing and...
...nowadays they ask for
a password for everything.
Let's draw 800 bucks.
It looks like you gave
me the wrong card.
No, this is the
only card I have.
Is it? But there is no
money here, it says zero.
Maybe you are
making a mistake.
I'm sure there is no money
in the account.
Aziz, Aziz...
He took all the money and
disappeared, huh?
He didn't look trustworthy to me.
I thought he was sincere.
He looked like a decent person.
I didn't think he would
do something like that.
I can't understand,
how could he...
Such bullshit, the kid is
stealing all our money...
...and we are just sitting
with our arms tied.
What can we do?
Life didn't teach you anything
Aziz, you are so naive.
How can you trust a
complete stranger?
But I didn't give him anything.
He did it through the net,
so-called internet?
- How?
- Apparently he transferred...
...the money to his own
account electonically.
He gave me a piece of paper in
the bank and asked me to fill it.
I never thought he was
opening an internet account.
And then he managed the rest.
God, what a world
we are living in!
In our times they would rob
the banks with real guns.
What are we going to
do now, stop the set?
What more! Didn't we
vow to finish the film?
How can you mention
stopping now?
How do you think we will pay
for the equipment rental...
...staff's wages?
This is over.
OK, I got it.
They said there is no way,
they want the equipment back.
We can't afford the
negatives, can we?
We have some but I'm not sure
if it is enough to complete the film.
If the set stops it means
we can never finish it.
Hey folks, may I
have your attention?
You know we had a problem
and lost all our money.
In other words this is over.
Nothing to do unfortunately.
Thank you for all your
work, thank you.
In fact it turned out right.
I was thinking over and
over what to do about...
...the new TV series proposals.
Gentlemen take it easy, bye.
From Bar.
Bar?
'I'll probably be out of Turkey
when you receive my letter.'
Scroundel. He ran away?
'I'm not a thief, I did
everything for my dreams.'
Fuck your dreams, you faker!
'I'm going to study cinema
with your money.
Thanks to you my
dreams will come true'
He is making fun of us.
'Don't be upset, you were
going to shoot that film in vain.
Nobody was going to watch it. '
Asshole!
'I saved you from a big burden.
You owe me thanks.
You will be proud of me
when I return from America. '
Bastard!
- Asshole!
- Traitor!
How foolish I am!
Don't be sad.
How?
You gave everything you
have and you are all in...
...a difficult situation
because of me.
Never mind. What is done
is done, come on now.
So the adventure is over.
What am I going to do now?
Lately one young guy joked:
'Haven't you been
taken out of circulation?'.
I was mad at him at that
time but he was right.
Now it is time for us
to be taken out.
This is the day.
- No, not yet!
- No?
This is inadmissible.
What the hell are you
talking about Ekrem?
Come with me...
They said they are old,
useless and obsolete...
...but I didn't have the
heart to discard them.
Here is the wooden carriage,
needs to be cleaned and fixed.
Look we also have its rail.
Here are the lamp stands.
I know new ones are lighter
but after all these are...
...standing as well.
Here is the camera.
Doesn't have a fixed engine
speed, its speed varies.
But if we can fix it, it may
work, huh? Tatyos?
If we could put them
into circulation maybe...
...we won't be taken out, huh?
I have a condition
to play in this film.
- What condition?
- This film means a lot to me.
Therefore I want a real
actress in front of me.
- I want Leyla.
- What, you want Leyla?
- If she isn't in, I'm not either.
- Never.
- This is my last word.
- Me too.
We have discussed it before.
Why did you raise it again?
- Because we need Leyla.
- We don't!
- Is it you calling the shots?
- Yes, I'm the director!
OK, you are the director,
but not the king!
The scenario belongs
to me as well!
Didn't you write the script
for Leyla years ago?
This is none of your business.
- Let's take a vote then.
- OK.
You'll see no one here
will overrule my decision.
Let's see.
Who is voting for Leyla?
But...
I didn't buy these negatives
from the producer Aziz.
- Leyla bought them.
- Leyla?
Despite the fact that she knew
she wasn't part of this film.
You hired that women as an
actress but she was...
...the first one leaving the boat
but Leyla continued her support...
...even when she was
not on board.
- Aziz, Leyla deserves the role.
- For the sake of Leyla.
OK, you might be upset with
her but thinking professionally...
Leyla must be on the set.
We'd better lift the camera
higher, huh?
Certainly, that's what
I was thinking.
Tatyos the camera, up.
Aziz, don't...
But Tatyos, no problem, okay,
okay, let's do it from here.
- Let me adjust.
- OK.
- Take it easy guys!
- Thank you.
Hey, Fikret, welcome.
That means I'm not too old.
You recognized me.
- You are not.
- How are you doing?
Just like everyone else,
cholesterol...
...high blood pressure,
diabetes, want more?
Welcome.
Wow the great Cihat Alkan,
even you got old.
Not at all. He is still
hale and hearty.
He can outdo all of us, I swear.
You didn't ask the
reason for my visit.
When are we beginning Aziz?
Weren't you looking for an actor?
Yes, we are but frankly speaking,
we can't afford your wage.
Did I mention money?
You got together as old friends
and are doing something...
...why can't I contribute too?
Here are the costumes,
wear the one that fits.
- Let me fetch the tea.
- Thanks.
Aziz, find a reason and
send him away.
I won't play the role
with that drunk.
He is here to support us,
how can I send him?
Support, huh? No one else
will hire this alcoholic.
Come on...
This man was a loser before
I secluded myself.
What is it? Is this a
home for the destitute?
- He is my friend.
- This is not a kid's game.
Is he a match for Cihat Alkan,
can he carry me?
Any recommendations?
Remember, the person will work...
...free of charge and will also
be capable of carrying you?
The discussion is over.
Concentrate on your part.
- Fikret!
- Aziz...
Cihat is right. He made
me see the truth.
I'm finished.
He is right.
Don't talk nonsense.
You know Cihat, he is
an actor, he is jealous.
I wish he were jealous.
Then I would at least have a
reason to believe that I count.
The truth is no one wants me.
They don't want to see me,
even talk to me.
My wife, even she took
the children and left me.
Let's accept that I'm a loser.
If disappear...
What the hell are
you talking about?
If I disappear nothing
will change.
The world will continue to turn,
a drunk will disappear...
...and the world will get rid of
me and I will get rid of myself.
Fikret you know
how fond I am of you.
- Don't waste your breath, you know me, me...
- But...
I am set on this, you may
say it was an accident.
At least it may help to stop
them gossiping behind me.
- Fikret, stop, wait, I'll jump too.
- What?
How can I bear your loss. Don't
you think I will jump after you?
Don't be silly, don't
be ridiculous.
- Move aside, I'll jump first.
- Are you crazy?
You have no reason to die.
You have a film to finish.
You have a film to
finish as well.
Rehearsal!
Stop it Tatyos, you shot
me from my back again!
Not my back but my
face is celebrated.
Look my friend, they
give me the directions...
...then I get my camera and...
...shoot whoever or
whatever is there.
- Refer to Mr. Aziz.
- Enough!
Meddling with the film script,
the actors, the camera.
Are you an actor or superman?
What's the big deal?
I don't know how many times
they shot me from the back too.
They may shoot you
but not me, never!
You are so tense, take a sip...
He is so precious.
What's up?
Pose-meter. Gne Karabuda
gave it to me as a gift.
It means a lot to me.
- Ekrem!
- What?
Can you give a gift given to you
to someone else? Is it proper?
It depends. Who will
you give the gift to?
- To Hakan, for his favor.
- Yeah, he deserves it.
Thank him, without him, it
would have been impossible...
...to persuade Tatyos.
He was beaten for no real
reason but didn't say a word.
Yeah, anyway, let's lay down
the rails. I can't sleep tonight.
Stop whining. You always said that
you were capable of doing everything...
Where did they brew the tea?
You are blood-brothers, you
can give your lives for each other.
But now you will kill each
other because of me.
Your feeling towards
me is transient.
On the other hand, your
friendship is forever.
It is best for me to walk away,
somewhere you can't find me.
But Zeynep...
I can't let it happen.
Don't make it worse, please,
I made up my mind.
Farewell...
Stop, stop...
Cihat, your cue, the carriage!
Why are you here?
To see me in such shape?
Answer me why?
Why are you here?
Leyla, your cue!
Even speaking to me is hard
for you. I can't take it any more.
You might frankly say you
didn't want me on the set.
- I didn't say that!
- You just didn't put it into words.
Are you aware of your behavior
Aziz? The way you treat me?
Am I obliged to put up with
all of your behavior, am I?
- Calm down Leyla!
- I will not!
We will clarify this matter.
What is my crime?
Even murderers are being pardoned
after suffering their punishment.
Isn't my punishment over yet?
Besides, those who committed
the same crime...
...who took part in the same films,
were acquitted long time ago.
Now they are living as
respectable persons.
But I'm...
...still a bitch, huh?
Stop it Leyla, you are
crossing the border.
You all are crossing the border.
All of you were implicated.
Some of you were the
cameraman of those films...
...some were light technicians,
or set labors.
If it was a shame or
sin, we did it together.
Why don't you share the
responsibility with me?
Or, dammit, why don't
you forget those days?
And you don't even let
me forget those days!
I know what crosses their
minds when they stare at me:
'I saw her naked'.
Yes, you did.
You saw me naked but how come
you forgot those days when...
...you were shouting 'take
that off, take that off'...
...rushing out to those films?
You made me play
in those films.
Now you are all immaculate.
You are all double-dealers.
Don't worry, I'll come to
the set and finish the film.
- It isn't the film, can we talk?
- Talk what?
If you let me...
- Did you drink?
- Yes, a bit.
I've been thinking of what
you said at length.
I hadn't looked at things
from that perspective before.
Actually you were the victim.
You didn't choose such a life.
The producers forced you,
first among whom...
...was that devil called Hakk.
No, Aziz, no one deceived me.
No, you have been deceived!
They exploited.
'The innocent girl is
deceived and exploited. '
Aziz, unfortunately this happens
only in Turkish films.
Life is totally different. I
knew what I was in for.
No, no, you are lying. You can't
have acted on purpose.
- They deceived you.
- Stop it Aziz, enough.
Now listen to the truth.
There were two alternatives.
The first was a humane life,
the second was misery.
Those who offered a humane
life brutalized me...
...but it was hard to
live in misery.
Of course heroes always
choose an honorable life...
...whatever the price.
They don't sell out.
But I wasn't the hero that you
made me out to be Aziz.
I was a coward.
I didn't think that I could cope.
That's why I chose
the easy way out.
And paid the price.
No, no, this isn't the truth; you
are deceiving yourself, no.
This is the truth Aziz.
I was not a hero as you thought
but just an ordinary bitch.
Stop, stop this, you
were deceived.
- No, I haven't!
- Yes, you have been.
No, open your eyes,
here is the truth.
This is the truth Aziz,
this is me, look, look.
Take them away from
in front of my eyes...
- You are a coward, look at these.
- I said take them away.
You are not going anywhere,
you will see the truth.
- You will look at them, look.
- No, no, no!
A lighter?
Do you have a lighter?
Thank you old-man.
Won't you buy me a drink?
I'm dehydrated.
Hey son, bring a drink to
this young lady please.
Young lady?
Hey, old-man how did
you fall down here?
- How old are you?
- 18.
Your real age?
Hey old-man what are you
gonna do with reality at this hour?
It's time to dream now,
to forget everything.
How did you end up here?
Why do you say so?
I'm happy with my situation.
I know your inner
thoughts are different.
Are they holding you
by force here?
By force? If it were so,
I'd have smashed their heads.
Did they make you sign a note?
What the fucking note are
you talking about old-man?
- Just have fun.
- You must be miserable.
Just the contrary,
I'm feeling great.
You are not guilty. Those who
caused your downfall are.
- What guilt?
- It's our guilt as a society.
Stop, did you come here to nag;
are we holding a panel discussion?
- What's the matter?
- Nothing! He is nuts.
You can't keep these
women here by force.
You don't have right to do so.
They are all innocent babies.
Don't corrupt these women,
don't take advantage of them.
- Yes, please.
- Who is it?
- I hope you will recover soon.
- Thank you.
How are you? I hope
there is nothing serious?
Yeah, I've almost recovered.
Just my arm, small bruises,
I need to rest and that's it.
I'm sorry. I wish it never
happened.
As for Leyla...
- I swear I don't have any...
- No, no, it isn't the way you think.
I don't blame you
anymore for this.
I hope you'll get well soon.
Because I never see
you together recently.
Accidentally.
So, mine was a
groundless fear.
You know what;
I admire your friendship.
You are friends forever.
Stop, stop, stop.
Well done everybody.
Bye.
Thank you, thank you.
- Thanks Tatyos.
- No, thank you.
Hey guys listen up.
Handling a camera
is my only skill.
After so many years
I am doing it again.
Even though I'm not good at it...
No, Tatyos, you're
not a bad cameraman.
No Aziz, I'm aware of
everything. It was my fault.
But...
You tricked me to make me
return to the sets again.
But it does not matter any more.
You hired me although
you knew the truth.
I could have messed
up this film too...
...but you nevertheless trusted
me. Now, I appreciate that.
Man, you trapped
another one, didn't you?
Here he comes.
- Welcome, I am Murat.
- Nice to meet you.
Murat was just about to leave,
isn't that right Murat?
- Yes, yes. Take it easy.
- Thanks.
We didn't offend
your friend, did we?
What offense?
You smell great.
- Why are you hurrying?
- I missed you so much.
Did you not, did you
not miss me?
Of course I did.
- Come on, take that off.
- Stop.
- Take it off, take it off.
- Wait a minute.
You are very beautiful.
You are very beautiful.
What did Avni say?
He has sold the movie
theatre many years ago.
Besides, we needed to take
action months ago.
All the movie theatres are
booked till summer.
One of them accepted
to put it on show in the...
...summer for a couple of days.
I could hardly make the
men watch the film.
'The film is good but not in
line with our concept. ' Big words!
- What is it supposed to mean?
- It wasn't their style.
Fuck their style!
Holding a gala is
better than nothing.
A gala? Wouldn't it be nice?
The outsider Americans captured
our own movie theatres.
We can hardly organize a gala.
We mustn't be foolish.
The young folks' films are
on show everywhere.
The problem is with us.
We all had the same dream.
It's not possible for others
to understand it.
In other words, our epoch
ended a long time ago guys...
...a very long time ago.
I thought we were invited to the
gala but what is this place?
This place is a timber
warehouse.
- Did we come to the wrong place?
- Are you asking?
Of course we did, get
back to the taxies.
No, you are in the right place.
Come on in, come on in,
come on!
You have such resolve Aziz,
you did what you wanted to do.
We! We did it together.
Don't let the writing timber
warehouse on the door confuses you.
This place is former summer
'Smer Movie Theatre'.
Congratulations Aziz, indeed,
congratulations.
You will hold the gala
without the leading actor.
I had told you that I was
the fastest man to...
...pick up his jacket and
walk away. I'd warned you!
What's the matter Cihat,
where are you going?
You promised me, you said you
will put my name on the top.
Is it on the bottom? I put
it on the top, you see?
Not on the top, the very top!
Come on Cihat, you see we
three are on the same line.
I've dedicated my life to cinema,
I won't let anyone slight me.
Nobody knows the
film or the poster.
There is no other film-poster
except this one in entire stanbul.
So what!
He knows.
This drunk will presume to be
an actor, he will put on airs.
Cihat, what about this?
Here you go Cihat, your name
is on the very top now.
No problem, your name can
be written on the very top.
- Fikret?
- I don't mind either.
This was such a nice place when
it used to be a movie theatre.
At least we were
seeing people here.
Now all we see is timber.
Then why did you close
the movie theatre?
Then who would look
after my children?
The boss converted this place
to a timber warehouse...
...and now we can
make a living.
- Everyone is here.
- Really? Everyone?
Yes, everyone.
Just let me finish this, I'll
be with you right away.
Be quick.
Do you remember this place?
How can I forget the place
where I first kissed you?
- Don't embarrass me.
- They say history repeats itself.
Excuse me?
Let us not prove
the historians wrong.
- I can't do it.
- Why Zeynep? Why?
Don't ask why. I cannot.
Why are you here?
To see me in such shape?
- Answer me why?
- Just give me a few minutes...
...to correct some
misunderstandings.
Just a few minutes?
I gave you all my life,
all my life.
I don't know. Because I never
see you together recently.
Accidentally, accidentally.
I admire your friendship.
You are friends forever.
But our feelings are mutual.
That's what you think. Did
she accept your proposal?
- She will.
- You don't own Zeynep.
I thought you were my friend.
I've slit my wrist for nothing.
Shame on you.
Shame on you. For
the sake of a woman...
- Fuck you!
- Shit!
Why now?
Couldn't wait for
two more minutes...
Don't worry, the electricity
will be back soon.
- What if it does not?
- Don't worry, it will.
Here is the guard coming.
This is not your lucky day.
- Did the fuse blow?
- No sir, there is an outage.
Didn't you hear the noise? The
transformer blacked out again.
So when will it be back?
Actually it won't if they
don't fix the transformer.
- Not before 2- 3 hours.
- 2-3 hours?
We are going to freeze here.
Don't watch the rest of the film.
Didn't you shoot the
film yourselves?
You know how it will end,
don't you?
Hakan, do you have
the gun with you?
- Yes, I have.
- Give it to Cihat.
What?
Pass me the torches, the
torches, give them to me.
Fikret, Cihat, Leyla to the stage.
- Why?
- Go to the stage, move.
- What's going on?
- Move, move...
Please to the stage,
quick, now, now.
I didn't understand
why we are doing this.
Cemil, take the clarinet.
- Tatyos, take them.
- What?
- Aren't you the cameraman?
- Yes.
Take then...
Fikret change sides with Cihat.
We will begin from the scene
where the lights went out.
- How? How will we play it here?
- But...
No objections. We will finish this
film this way or that, got it?
You will begin with
the music, good...
I warned you to stay
away from Zeynep.
- Tatyos, take Cihat in medium shot.
- How?
Zeynep doesn't belong
to you. I love her too.
Cihat medium shot...
- But our feelings are mutual.
- That's what you think.
- Did she accept your proposal?
- She will.
I thought you were my friend.
I've slit my wrist for nothing.
- Fikret come closer.
- Shame on you.
Shame on you!
You are holding your blood-brother
at gunpoint because of a woman.
Cihat medium shot.
You are not my blood-brother
anymore but my enemy.
So don't stop, shoot me.
Let my brother, blood-brother
be my killer.
Leyla.
Stop this, for God's sake
what are you doing?
It's between us Zeynep.
You stay out of this.
Yes, this is none of
your business Zeynep.
You are lying. I heard what
you said. You can't do this.
You are blood-brothers, you can
give your lives for each other.
But now you will kill each
other because of me.
Your feeling towards
me is transient.
On the other hand,
your friendship is forever.
It is best for me to walk away,
somewhere you can't find me.
- But Zeynep...
- I can't let it happen Zeynep.
Don't make it worse, please.
I made up my mind, farewell.
Leyla!
Don't go!
I have things to say.
Well, this stanbul, how can
I say, is very stressful...
...crowded, the traffic you know...
Hakan, come here son.
But the town I'm coming
from is like heaven.
I mean if you want to live
in a place with fresh air...
Are trying to say,
'Come with me. '?
- Something like that.
- You are a master now.
- What are we going to do there?
- We'll find something to do.
Be careful!
We may cultivate the land,
or I don't know...
...open a summer
movie theatre...
...and put our film on
show everyday.
Be specific Aziz.
What do you mean?
What do you propose to me?
Living together?
Whatever you want.
To marry?
As I said whatever you want.
Won't my past bother you?
It won't.
Are you sure?
I must confess something.
Remember, I was saying
I was not going to die...
...before shooting this film.
Actually it was a lie. I've
shot this film repeatedly.
At night, in my dreams...
But I could not join you.
Neither in dreams
nor in daydreams.
I came to stanbul not to
shoot this film but only for you.
You are a great guy Aziz.
Everybody loves
the Virgin Mary.
STOP!
