''Second half of the 19th century.
Reformation period in the Otto State.

Poll-tax from non Muslims
has been removed,...

...and through new regulations,
non Muslims have gained...

...a legal position on
an equal footing with the Muslims.''

We'll be back by nightfall.
You go on, too.

Shall we name you ''Tosbas'' ?

- l wonder if my shirt's ready.
- We'll see.

- Father, will you buy me candies?
- l will.

Come on.

- Now for it Yakup?
- Now then.

- Vasil.
- Heey.

Mustafa!

Here he comes mom!

- Feriye, where's Esma?
- She comes.

- Mother's asking.
- Right, l'm there.

You took off your shirt?
The buttons are open.

lf this smoke touches your
skin, you get fit as a fiddle...

Did you know that?

Stop it...

Welcome... How was it
up in the platau?

Very very nice, sister Maria.

Look, we brought you
the cheese that you like.

Thank you.

Allahu akbar, allahu akbar
(God is Great)

We didn't pass up
the Friday prayer.

- What about the goods?
- Vasil would fetch them.

Vasil, we'll perform salaat.

You better appreciate
your religion.

See, we now have to perform
the ablution and the salaat.

Sure. sure. And this much of
load's to go on my shoulders...

The Ofli Hodja pleaded pretty
much for your becoming Moslem.

They said Jesus was
the son of God.

l mean... how could God
ever have a son?

Now... l mean... lf he has
a son, oh God forbid!

So... he must have a mother
and a father, right?

Look, brothers...

Explain it to your Christian
neighbours and friends.

lnvite them to the right way.

Whereas, on the day of
judgement they might find...

...shelter under our
beloved Prophet's flag!

Whereas, they might make
use of the Heaven's blessings...

...and houris- And of its wine,
certainly... you know,...

...they are fond
of wine, too...

Ovit, don't you
have thin salt?

l'm out of it.

As soon as the ferry arrives
l'll set apart some for you.

l'll have two okes.

Go get us two coffees.

Stelyo Effendi asks you to
attend the meeting tonight.

ls there anyone from
Dereboyu around here?

l'm from there.

Deliver this to
Mr. Mecit Fendoglu.

Allright.

Watch out for it.
lt's sent by the Governor.

l will.

Will you go to Stelyo Effendi?

Mustafa's shirt's supposed
not to go out of my mind.

Please send these
things to the wharf.

Grandma... grandma...
we're here...

Grandma where are you?
Grandma.. Grandma..

Here l am...

Ho... come on...

Where have you been?

l missed you so much.

- L�tf�, give grandmother a break.
- Me too.

- Thanks Dimitri.
- Good riddance

He is not getting well.

Are you alright?

Sefiye... He Yakup?

He's your grandson.
Yakup's son. Mustafa...

Yeah... Yeah...
Who else?

Who are you?

- Have you heard about the, uh...
- About what, grandpa?

So, haven't l told you?

You know, the Muscovite
was pounding at the door,...

...and how we
screwed them up!

No...

l'll deliver the letter
to Mecit Bey.

We're waiting.

l'm looking for Mecit Bey.

- Welcome Mehmet.
- l'm honoured brother Yakup.

And... the study is over?

There's one
more year to go.

Well, you've nearly
come to the end.

- We'll see.
- Yes, you have..

What's the matter Yakup?

This letter's sent to you by the
Governor. The officers handed me.

- Give Mustafa my regards.
- Aye.

Yakup, let's have
a coffee together.

We hired mules.
A friend's waiting.

Then, my call
goes for another time.

How is your father doing?

From the platau we
got down to Mapavri.

l haven't seen him yet.

- Give him my kindest regards.
- l will. So long, sir.

L�tf�. Why did you
take my stick?

- l'm playing...
- Play with yours, leave it!

- Damn with your stick!...
- lt's heavy for you boy.

- You can hurt yourself.
- Yeah, sure...

- Play with your own stick.
- Fine... Take it!

- Mom, here comes father.
- Welcome, father

Thank you

L�tfi.

You got me candies?

- Don't eat them all.
- l won't.

- Alright, so long!
- Good riddance.

Hey, give me some .

- That's all?
- Your choice!

Fine, give me.

- lt won't fit me.
- You must grow up a little.

Stop it.

- Lend mother a hand.
- l'm there, mom.

We'll give the
bullock to Emin.

He says he'll
bring it up.

l'll never give
away my Tosbas.

Fine, don't give it, and
grandpa roasts it for breakfast.

What happened
to the bullock...

...that was born
the year before?

He has become partner of the
bakery that he worked for.

He says he'll come and hold
the wedding before winter.

Not much time
left to the winter.

So you'll live in lstanbul, huh?

lf fate so decrees...

- ls your father home?
- He's down for wood. What's it?

- He has asked for the bullock...
- For doing what?

For nurturing...

You know there's
no bull in the village.

- Can't it walk?
- Sure it can.

- Why don't you put it down?
- There are stairs.

l'll prepare a place for it.

Stop.

Stop.

You prepare your dowry.
l'll do it...

Her fianc�e is
coming from lstanbul.

There's a wedding soon.

- What's its name?
- Tosbas.

That's how L�tf� calls it.

Are you Tosbas?

- Come on.
- l'll be waiting for you tonight.

Sometimes they don't sleep.
You know that l want it too.

Father's coming!

l was preparing its place.

Feriye, pick grapes,
make some molasses for us.

Alright father

- Esma what's going on?
- Hold it for a second.

She's just crazy.

You're lovesick!

Esma you'll fall.

Give me the lantern.

Let it down,
l'll catch it.

Gas will spill on you,
you'll get burned!

- You just let it down.
- Here.

Clever Feriye o'mine!

You mean ''Sister'', right?

l don't know whom
you've got the guts from?

Quiet.
Sister Maria will hear.

She must be asleep already.

May you wear it in peace...
lt's beautiful.

Why didn't you shave?

My skin gets irritated,
my mother's getting suspicious.

You should have saved
your shirt for the wedding.

Be quiet...

Look, how beautiful
are the stars.

What's this
supposed to be now?

Poison!
Poison!

Drink it father,
it'll make you alright.

l don't want it...
lt's bitter.

Big man, don't ever
think of leaving me.

Mother don't say so...

Noodles, huh?
You're great mom!

Hey, where have you been?
And his new shirt's on!

Don't tease the boy.

Mustafa.

Son, you are doing wrong.

She's so young and
may fall in love with you.

She's Muslim,
it will end badly.

Though the Reform Edict
was effective, in Trabzon...

...they hung a man who
professed his secret Christianity.

They said he has
converted from religion.

He said he had always been
an Orthodox, but it didn't work.

That's not the case anymore.

Everything has changed.
There are new laws in effect.

No one shall be oppressed on
because of being Christian,...

...no one shall pay extortion.

The Ottoman enacted this as a respond
to pressure from Europe and Russia.

You are saying
so Stelyo Effendi,...

...however, Europe, France
and England are far away.

And we are here...

Greece is not in a position
to defy the Ottoman.

Russia might be scrambling,...

...but at the end goes into
agreement with the Ottoman.

Who shall protect us?

Not so. Europe's keeping up with
the application of the laws.

Here in Trabzon they
have a consulate.

Please proceed Mr Consul.

To you all l brought
a message from the Tsar.

He gives you his affection.

He has forwarded
the Sultan a note...

...requesting strict application
of effective laws.

And the sultan has
assured Tsar The Majesty.

Fear not at all.

Tsar The Majesty ordered
us to inform him...

...whenever the nose of his one
single Orthodox brother bleeds.

Yes...There's no ground
for your fear.

On Mother Mary's Day...

...you shall altogether
reveal your genuine religion.

And also inform those
others who're absent here.

We've been exposed to oppression
for converting into lslam.

They've charged high taxes for
allowing us to live our religion.

Gizia...
Extortion, in other words.

Some of us who could not
afford it pretended to be Muslims.

The Church excused them.

The Church excused them for
it knew our Lord shall excuse.

And you are in this state
for about two hundred years.

The church is aware of
the pain you have suffered.

You've gone to mosques,
and participated to prayers.

You've buried your deceased
in Muslim cemeteries.

But the conditions changed now.

You shall no more pay
Gizia for being Christian,...

...the poorest one of you
shall live his religion explicitly.

This is what the Church
expects of you today.

l wonder what we were
before being Christians.

How come have so many
religions occurred?

ls one religion not enough?
Romoto.

Do you know why they call
my father ''Haci (pilgrim) S�leyman''?

He went for Hac (Pilgrimage)
in an exhausted man's stead.

Do you understand?

That man was pretty wealthy.

There were plenty of others
who wanted to do that for him.

But he requested this
divine service of my father.

''You're a wise man''
said he to my father,...

...''if you become a pilgrim
in my stead, l shall be relieved.''

My father couldn't refuse.

He had been of much
help to my father.

And he donated us
the mansion that we lived in.

The man died as a Pilgrim.

And my father is respected
as '' Haci S�leyman''.

So how can l now say:
''You think l'm Muslim but...

...actually l'm not;
Ye folks l am Orthodox.''

Let's leave a distance.
We shall land seperately.

We must not be seen together.

- He will not recover.
- Don't say so.

- Emine's here.
- Let them sleep.

She has not brought
the baby with her.

- Shall l heat up soup for you?
- That would be fine.

ls Yasar weaned?

- Emine's baby.
- No.

ls the baby with you?

Ahmet must have come to take it.
While we were sleeping.

- Have they quarreled?
- Emine is breaking up.

Ahmet and his family are
converting into lslam.

- What?
- Well, they have decided so.

And they haven't had
the baby baptised.

Grandma...

How are you grandma?

Your husband has
kidnapped the baby.

- What?
- Kidnapped.

Filthy thug!
How come didn't l wake up?

How come couldn't l hear?
He's just a thief, not a father!

He stole my boy, he stole
my baby, my baby's ill.

Uncle's nephew
Yasar's going to be fine.

Uncle's nephew's
going to be fine.

L�tf� what are you doing?
The kid's going to freeze.

Yasar is very ill.

l'm holding it to the fog,
he'll be alright.

Emine, mother, Yasar's here,
l'm bringing him.

- Were was he?
- L�tf� has taken him out.

- Go put your clothes on you.
- Has he taken the baby out?

Go, go to bed,
l'll kill you!

Sefiye, don't let the baby
weep, just nurse Yakup.

That's what l'm doing, man.

We must have him baptised
right away grandmother.

My baby's going to die, without
ever making his entrance into heaven.

We will, daughter.
Alright.

Let me take them,
please come in.

- Welcome.
- Thank you lad.

Welcome. Yo must be tired,
get some rest.

No no...
let's perform the deed.

l'll be outside, father.

Emine!

What's this, a raid?

l'm here to take
my wife and my son.

My sister would
come if she wishes.

Your sister is my wife.
l'll take her home.

Are you a gangster or something?

Go in!

Did you ask her opinion
when converting to lslam?

We'd been discussing
this all the time,...

...Mustafa, don't you know that?

Are you not aware of all
that we've suffered?

Was there any other chance?

On this side, there's
the fear of turning up...

...and on the other,
there's humiliation by Christians...

l'm fed up with it.

lf my sister wants
she'd come with you,...

...but you can't say
''l'll take her''. Do you get that?

Good then,
let me talk to her.

- No way.
-Why not?

Amen.

Shut that door.
The child will freeze.

What a stubborn woman are you...

He was burning in
fever, l was scared.

l wanted him to be christened.

My son's fine,
don't talk as if he'll die! Lets go.

You christened him.
What more do you want?

Well and good

Without you, my grandmother...

...would never have sent
my sister back with him.

Nothing to do...

By converting to lslam
they only harmed themselves.

We were forgiven
only for Jesus sake.

We... Ortodoxes?

Christians. Jesus suffered those
pains just for our being forgiven.

They committed a big
sin deserting Jesus.

So, is my sister
committing a sin now?

She's not converting.

As the Church,
we have consent to his.

We live under
the Rule of lslam.

There are even mothers and
wives of the Sultans,...

...who are actually Christians.

What if it had been
the opposite way?

l mean if a Muslim girl
had married a Christian?

This is something
accepted easier by us.

The generation proceeds
over the male.

But lslam would not
forgive this.

lts penalty...
goes even to death...

The whole day your were
cloistered in here.

Don't mind, l would
have gone if l had wanted.

Who would recognise me?
We had a little chat.

lt's nearly dark,
l'll leave shortly.

- Who's that man?
- Which man?

That man in the room,
you were with him

Grandpa's friend
from the army.

- He's young, isn't he?
- He looks young.

Who will help me?

Mustafa, Mustafa wake up.

Stand up son.
The Azan is recited.

- You must go to the salaat.
- Father can go.

He's gone to the wood,
for lumbering.

One man from our house
must go. Grandfather is unable.

But, not everyone
goes to the mosque.

We are not everyone.
We should go.

Girls will be impressed!

Choose a girl,
we make your wedding.

- Mehmet! Mehmet! Come on mate!
- Coming.

Mustafa.

Where have you been?

College boy keeps us waiting.

Ooo Mehmet welcome.

Thank you Mustafa. l heard
your grandfather was ill.

- How is he now?
- Well, so so...

- Hello.
- Hello.

Man, is this new?

Sula, come!
Emine!

Horon has started!

My brother's coming!

Brother Sami, hello.

- Welcome
- Thanks

Welcome

- Welcome Mustafa.
- Thank you.

- How much will your grapes be?
- Four or five baskets.

ln the morning we'll start
with yours, then pass to ours.

Ok.

- Good night.
- See you in the morning.

Will you come tonight?

l'll signal you
if they have slept.

Come on Esma, walk!

- What you looking at?
- What were you speaking about?

l asked her where
we'd pick the grapes.

Sure, what else...

- L�tf�.
- Stop it!

You know, that pinch of white in
your hair, Tosbas has it too.

- Go away.
- Hasn't it?

You go home.
Move!

What's the matter?

Our folks came to pay a
visit to your grandfather.

lf you need anything,
just tell us.

He'd always been
of much help to us.

May God bless you.

- Mustafa?
- lt's me father.

Ayse, take L�tf� to bed.

- Kid doesn't know about it?
- He's so young.

All these troubles
will come to an end.

Things will never change as far as
the older ones are concerned.

We have to come forward.
We, the younger ones.

The Laws are favourable.
What else are we waiting for?

We shall say:
''We're Orthodox!''

- Good night.
- Good night.

- Don't be late tomorrow.
- We won't. Good night.

Good night Mehmet.

- l'll see you off.
- Thank you but there's no need.

My pleasure.

Good night.

- Thank you.
- Good night.

Those coming back from
the wedding are shooting.

What's going on?

Let's split into two. Lest they
should see us as a crowd.

l don't want it father.

Don't want to disclose
that we're Orthodox.

They think it's so easy.

For all this time people
have recognized us as Muslims...

Father, l'm in love with Esma.

lf we disclose it,
l can't have her.

Even if we don't disclose it, how
are the things going to be?

With a Muslim girl.

- l'll see my way.
- What way, son?

We've married only those like us.

Your grandfather and grandmother,
your mother and l, or your sister...

Whether we're in love or not...

Esma.

- Signalled you last night.
- We had guests.

They visited my grandfather.

- l waited until midnight.
- l just couldn't...

Esma.

lt's fine, l'm going to
pour grapes into the basket.

Tobacco smugglers!

Hold on. l'll take you down.

Girl, you're beautiful.
Are you Greek?

We're on the way to Persia.
Shall l take you with me?

l'd wrap you
in Persian Silk, honey.

- Filthy bastard!
- Stop or l'll you bump you off!

- Hold on, Mehmet's there.
- Get the hell out of here.

Stop.
Fendoglu's son!

Well done pal...

Sister Maria, come on,
tell us a tale.

Please sister.

ln the place where Sumela
Monastery is found today,...

...there used to live
a very beautiful fairy girl.

She was so beautiful that
even the moon envied her beauty.

You told this one yesterday,
in the mill. Tell us another.

Tell us about your
foster sister.

- Come on Maria.
- No. l can't tell that one.

l saw her in my
dream last night.

ls she telling a tale?

C'mon sister...
Oh, she fell asleep again.

She doesn't want to tell
about her foster sister.

Does she have one?

Yes, and a very
beautiful girl was she.

So she falls in love with someone.
They love each other very much.

But the one she loves
turns out to be Christian.

No, wait, he's Muslim
but herself was Christian.

So they were of
different religions?!

Christian or Muslim, everyone
reacts against their union.

lt's panau season. So,
everyone goes up to the platau.

Her father locks her
into the house.

The boy is up on the panau.
They are madly in love.

Everyday, over the hills
she watches the panau, crying.

One day she sees a smoky cloud
that comes over from the sea.

She dreams of melting
into the cloud...

...and rising up to the panau,
embracing her lover.

And then?

Then she burns herself, burns so
that her smoke joins the cloud.

So she goes up to the panau.

She finds and hugs all
over her beloved one's body.

Young man's body gets
warmer and warmer.

Everyone up there is dressed in
wool, but the young man sweats.

He understands everything.
He understands that his beloved...

...has burned herself to reach him,
embodying her smoke into the cloud.

He says ''Ye people,
ye Muslims and Christians...

...you joined hands to prevent our
happiness. You split us apart.

And you won't be destined
to happiness.''

Then he burns himself. His smoke
joins the smoke of his beloved.

Come here, let
Dereboyu people see you.

- What's your name?
- Alex.

- Where are you from?
- From Yomra.

You're Hasan,
the Convoy Master, right?

You'll never enter this
piece of land again. Got it?

Put down the trivet, lad.

Mother, we'll bury
him next to his father.

There are tens of people
like us in that cemetery.

She doesn't allow
him a breathing space.

To which cemetery do
you want to be buried?

S�leyman.

Where do you want
to be buried?

S�leyman... Where do you
want to be buried?

l don't want to be buried.

S�leyman s�leyman where.

Come grandma.
Let him sleep.

l have to speak with him
while he's still conscious.

We have to learn where
he wants to be buried.

- Good night to you all.
- Good night

- Thanks Ismail, you go.
- No, let me stay.

- There's light.
- Good then.

ln the morning we'll go
together to collect malosses.

Alright.
