Base reading you, over.

Mission accomplished.
We're returning to base, over.

Hey, Ramo and Mamo are back.

What happened?
- You got caught in the crossfire again?

Where have you been?
- What happened? You're OK, aren't you?

They'll kill us one of these days.
It's only a matter of time.

Another operation, right?

Did you sell the chicken sand
the cheese? What happened?

That's the last time I go to
sell chickens, damn it.

Ramo, we have to go into town.
Even if it rains bombs.

less all that milk and cheese
supposed to go to waste?

They'll kill us, Uncle Davut.
We'll die for nothing.

We don't have any choice, Mamo.

Ramo, son. Your wife's giving birth.
- Are you serious, dad?

God willing, you'll get what you want.

Get me a comb.

A comb?

You keep out of this.

Hold on baby, hold on.
Zehra, get the water ready.

OK, Mum. I'll be right back.

Hold on baby, almost there.

Come on. This time it'll be a boy.

I combed my hair like this
with the first one. And it was a boy.

You'll see.
It'll definitely be a boy this time.

Dear God, listen to Musto.
And give me a boy.

Ramo...

I also have a hunch
that it'll be a boy this time.

Well anyway, Mamo,
if it isn't a boy this time...

Yes?
- There'll be no stopping me.

Stop jigging your leg.

Hey, stop jigging.

Are you off your head?
Get off.

Son of a bitch.

What a beautiful baby.
Aren't you a beauty?

Here, my love. God bless her.

Zehra, run and give them the good news.

Zehra, what is it?

Ramo, first I want my treat,
then I'll give you the good news.

Hey. It's a boy. It's a boy.

Ramo. Ramo.

Ramo. Ramo. Good news.

What is it, Kado?

First I want my treat.

Kado, what is it?

What do I care? First my treat.

Stop talking like a girl.
Out with it, you queen.

Ramo...

Yes?

Congratulations.
It's a gorgeous little girl.

What?

A girl, Ramo.

Hey, didn't I tell you not to run
if it was a girl?

Bastard.

Fuck your hair as well.

Come on, dad. Get yourself ready.
We're going to look for another wife.

Don't mess it up.

Mum, he'll get a second wife now.

Where are the women?
If there were any.

Mamo would have married by now.

Don't cry, Havar. Ramo loves you.
He'd never marry again.

Really?

Sure.
He adores you.

I don't know.

Didn't I say I'd marry again
if it was another girl?

Yes, you did.
I heard.

I didn't.

Dad, we know you're blind.
But are you deaf as well?

Ramo, we have enough troubles as it is.

lf God doesn't give you a son,
why is Havar to blame?

I wish God had given me a girl.

Uncle Davut, you all have boys.

I want one too.

Look, son. It's always been your wife
who's looked after us and the animals.

For my sake, give it one more try.

Ramo wouldn't take a second wife
alongside my sister, Uncle Haydar.

Nephew... Do whatever is fitting
for the family.

Dad, let's put up a photo of Serhat
so my mo brothers are side by side.

We can't put them side by side, son.

Why not?

We can't do that, son.
We can't.

Havar, Mum told me this ages ago.

lf a woman looks at little boys a lot
when she's pregnant, she'll have a boy.

So spend lots of time with my boys
and you'll have one yourself.

Mum, grandpa's given the baby a name.

Not your dad?
- No. Grandpa did.

He said our new sister
should be called Bemal.

Zelal, Delal, Hazal, Seval and now Bemal.

Come on, let's go.

Havar, why are you upset?
There's nothing wrong...

...with her being a girl.
I like girls.

ONE YEAR LATER

Take good care.
Goodbye.

The soldiers are here.

Selam aleykum.
- Aleykum selam, captain. Welcome.

Hello, friends.

Ahmet, welcome to you too.

lf you're hungry,
G�listan will feed you.

Thanks, Davut.
But I'm not hungry.

Davut Bey, let's go and talk.

Of course, captain. After you.

Havar, make some tea.

Come here, kids. Over here.
These sweets are for you. Here.

Take as many as you like.
- Ahmet. Can I have some too?

How's our soldier? Is he OK?

Fine, captain.
He'll be back on leave in a few days.

Good. His duty to the country
will soon be done.

Right.

Any news of your other son?

No.

Davut Bey,
Let me get to the point.

Listen, you can't have a home
within a home, a state within a state.

Talk to your other son.

Get him to give himself up
under the new amnesty.

Who doesn't want to have
their children living with them?

You must help us.

Look, Kerim has left.

Any developments with you?

Whenever my brother Haydar
decides, that's when we'll be leaving.

Hear me, Lord. Hear me
in the name of all the prophets.

Give me a son like Ismail, the son
You gave the Prophet Abraham.

If you give me a son, I promise
to make You offerings for seven years.

Welcome to the show, ladies.

Welcome to you all.
Welcome, welcome.

Wherever you are, let me wish you
health, happiness and heaps of money.

Thank you very much.

What's with that girly voice?

Look, don't make my blood boil.

You're not a girl so why talk like one?

Mamo, where have you been?

Get up.
Get the fuck out of here.

I don't want to see you again.

less something wrong, son?
Where have you been?

No, dad.
Everything's OK.

I brought the sheep back on my own.

I don't know where Ramo went.

You'll see. This time it'll be a boy.
Just wait and see.

Musto, please shut up.

Whenever you say
it's a boy, it's always a girl.

This time it will be a boy.
If I say so, it will be.

Musto, you have three sons.
Shut up, will you.

Come on, Havar. Get to it.
I tell you, I have a hunch too.

What's it going to be?

A boy.
Relax.

You see? He said it'll be a boy.
He said so himself.

Aaaaaa.

Come on, sweetie. Keep going.
You're almost there.

The baby's coming, my love.

Here he is. Praise be to God.

G�listan, cut the cord. Wrap the baby.
And let's break the good news.

It's a boy.

Ramo... Ramo...
Great news...

Ramo.

Ramo.

Great news, Ramo.

Hey, what is it?

What do I care?
First my treat.

Talk like a man.

What do I care?
First my treat.

Ramo, you've had a son.

What?.

Ramo, where are you going?

Well done, my love.

Thanks, mum.

You see?
What did I tell you?

What did you tell me?

Spend lots of time with my boys
and it'll be a boy. See? It worked.

Ramo. Congratulations, son.
You've finally got what you wanted.

Wow.

In the name of God,
the Compassionate, the Merciful...

I thought you were going to
get a second wife.

Who said so?
- You did.

She's perfect, your mother.
The sunshine of my life.

Come here. She's perfect, your mother.
I adore her. I'd do anything for her.

Pakize... G�listan...
Thank you. Bless you both.

Let me go off with my son.
I'll be back in five minutes.

Where are you going, Ramo?

Where are you taking the baby?

Mum, the baby has only just been born.
Where he's going, mum?

How do I know, my love?

Hey, Ramo. Where are you going?

He's crazy.
Crazy Ramo.

But the baby has only just been born.
Call him back, dad.

Ramo. Where are you taking
the baby? He'll get sick.

Dear Lord...
You heard my prayers.

You have my word.
You will have my offerings.

May my son be a friend to everyone
and as worthy as the Prophet.

And may his name be...

To be honest, Lord,
I haven't thought about that.

You always give me girls,
don't you?

Congratulations, Ramo.
You finally got what you wanted.

Thanks.
When is yours due?

This month, God willing.

Do you want a girl or a boy?

Hopefully yours will be a boy too.

Whatever.
So long as it's healthy...

Good luck to you,
Private Ahmet.

Thanks.

Berat, how long till discharge?
- I've got 86 days left.

My leave finishes in six days.

How long have you got, Ahmet?

Eighty-four days.
- Not long then.

No, not long.

Berat hasn't got long either.

Thanks.
- Good luck with it.

Congratulations, Ramo.

Thanks, captain.
Welcome.

Have a seat, captain.

Welcome, captain.

Thank you.

Have a seat.

Your prayers are answered.
I hope he grows up fit and healthy.

Thanks, captain.

Well, Ramo, it's time
you sent the kids to school.

Captain...
You know all the schools have closed.

The nearest one is 40 km away.

That's only to be expected here.

Circumstances don't allow, friends.

You need to work something out
and leave here as soon as possible.

We know about farming and livestock,
captain.

The state tells us to leave.

But it doesn't give us work
or a roof over our heads.

Not another operation.

We don't want to stay here either
but we don't have any choice.

Get the vehicles ready.

Serhat...

Serhat.

Son. Son. Son.

Serhat...

Berat...

You're brothers, son.
Don't ever forget that.

Serhat...

Serhat, son...

Why did you go?
Come back home.

Dad, there's no going back
with this business.

You know that.

We're the dead children
of an outcast people.

You're not an outcast.

I joined the guerrillas for you.

I've risked my life for you.

Son, is death ever an answer?

Whatever I do, I'm doing it for you.

One day, you'll all understand that.

Mum, I have to go.
Let me go.

Don't go.

Don't go.

Let me go, Mum.

Don't go.

Don't go.

Serhat...

...what would happen...

...if we met in battle one day?

lf I was killed, I'd be a terrorist.

lf you were killed, you'd be a martyr.

Come on.

Serhat.
Serhat.

What's happening, dad?

Don't be afraid, kids.

It's Father God making lightning.
Now come on, go back to sleep.

Mines exploding out there, dad.

It's Father God, my love.
Go back to sleep, kids.

Look, Zelal isn't afraid.

Come on, my little doves.
Back to sleep now. Come on.

What are you doing?
Why are you up?

Come on now.
Back to bed.

Mum, what's happening?

I bear witness that there
is no God but Allah.

I bear witness that Muhammed
is the Messenger of Allah.

Captain, the village is clear.

Friends...

Were the terrorists here last night?

Did you see them?

I'll ask you again.
Did you see the terrorists, or didn't you?

I didn't see a soul, I swear.

lf it turns out you helped the terrorists
the consequences will be severe.

You'll be arrested
for aiding and abetting terrorism.

Look, the state is sovereign.

An operation happens
right under your noses...

...and you say you saw nothing.
Terrorists don't make good friends.

We're here for you, friends.
We've taken to the mountains for you.

This country is yours. Scores of young
people are giving their lives for you.

I'm sorry to say we lost
four of our men last night.

Seven terrorists were captured dead.

Davut Bey...

Come to the riverbank to identify
the bodies of the terrorists.

This village is to be evacuated
within mo months.

Yes, sir.

Captain, Haydar is rather headstrong.
He insists on staying.

lf he doesn't go, none of them will.

Caner, you can't afford to be
amicable or sympathetic in this case.

As long as the villagers keep helping
the rebels, this thing will drag on.

They have to leave
so we can combat terrorism.

lf the state had held out a hand here,
if people's wounds had been nursed...

...things would never have got
as complicated as they are, sir.

They used to say fire burns
the hand that touches it.

But now it seems as if
fire burns everything in sight.

Havar... Havar, what's the matter?
Havar...

Havar, what's wrong?

Nothing. My stomach hurts.

You haven't been yourself for days.
Is something wrong? Talk to me.

There's nothing wrong.

It's OK. I'm fine.
Let's go to the fountain.

Havar, should we tell Ramo
to take you to a doctor?

Don't you dare say a word.
I'm fine.

Zehra...
This village used to be so nice.

It was full of people.

Right. And now it's completely empty.

We're the only people left.

Soon they'll be sending us away too.

Havar, do you want another child?

Well, I'll do whatever Ramo wants.
He's the pillar of my life.

Do you want more?
- I always want more.

Crazy girl.

But Musto said let's have another.

What?
Won't you ever be satisfied?

You've had three boys.
What more do you want?

Havar, I want a girl.
I hope God will give me a girl.

Girls are OK.
You can't say the same for boys here.

They either become guards or
soldiers, or they join the guerrillas.

They have no other chance.

G�listan, don't worry.
Everything's OK.

Think good thoughts
so good things happen.

Hello there.

Hello.

less this where Ahmet Baran lives?

Yes.

Could we come in?

This way.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Has something happened to Ahmet?

Captain...

Captain...

We lost Ahmet at dawn this morning.

My condolences.

Bless the land he died for.

That's Private Ahmet second from the left.

Have you decided yet?
When are you leaving?

I told you before.
I have nowhere else to go.

It's not in my hands.
You have to leave the village at once.

Winter's on its way, son.

We don't know what to do or where to go.

OK, let's say we do leave.
What are we supposed to live on?

Look, if you like I'll talk to my father.

You can settle in Giresun
and work in the hazelnut business.

My family will help you there.

Davut Bey...
Keep your spirits up.

I've made up my mind.

I'm going to Nomay.

What?
Nomay?

Where did you get that idea, Davut?

I'm going to join Nedim.

Friends, you need to
make up your minds like Davut.

Dad, let's go to Istanbul.
Come on. Don't be so stubborn.

Go wherever you like.

The only way I'll leave this village
is as a corpse.

Davut Bey...

You've been like a father
to my soldiers. Thanks.

I hope you'll be happy where you're going.

One day, this business will end...

...and you'll all come back to
your land and your houses.

This land, these houses are yours.
We'll take good care of them.

I'll never return to a land
where brother kills brother...

...and guns speak louder than words.

What's going on? Who isn't stopping
the turmoil? It beats me.

lf only everyone was like you.

Give us your blessing.

You have my blessing.

Come on, Kado.
What are you doing?

OK, I'm coming.

I promise you, captain,
I'll send my kids to school.

Kado. Run.
Quick. Run.

Hold on, Kado.
That's it.

Now jump.

Davut... Haydar...
Good luck to you both.

May God keep you safe, Isa.

You too.

Thank you.

Come on, uncle. Let's go here.

Mamo. Istanbul is full of girls.
Find yourself one and get married.

Fortune will decide, Musto.

Dad, how far away is Mersin?

I don't know son. No idea.

Davut...
What have we done to deserve this?

What are we going to do in Istanbul?

I told you, Haydar.
My friend Cuma will help us there.

Havar, what's going on?

Pillar of my life...
I'm not well.

What's the matter?
What's wrong with you?

I'm bleeding a lot.

Why didn't you say
and I'd take you to a doctor?

I couldn't bear you worrying.

Please take me to a doctor.
- OK.

I'll take you, sunshine of my life.
Come here.

The place is so big, Mamo.

Right, there's no end to it.

It's so beautiful, isn't it, Mamo?

Right. It's beautiful, Kado.
Really beautiful.

My little doves. Look at the sea.
Havar, the sea.

Look, Kado. Look.
There's another bridge.

Wow. Unbelievable.
Look at that. Wonders never cease.

Hey, dad.
Istanbul's really beautiful.

Are you out of your mind, son?

This is the house. Let's see.
Hopefully you'll like it.

Selam aleykum.
- Aleykum selam, Cuma.

We have a bedroom here.
This is the living room.

You pay mo months in advance
and a month's rent deposit.

What do you think?

It's fine, Cuma.

OK, Mustafa.
I'll see you this evening.

No problem, Cuma.

Well, move your things in right away.

OK, Cuma.

How long were you in jail, Cuma?

Forget it. It's all over now.

It really doesn't matter
how long I was in jail or why.

How are you?

Let's say I'm fine and maybe I will be.

Have a good catch.

OK, this is the last lot.

Take it away.

Cuma, what are those birds?

The ocean's most beautiful creatures.
They're called seagulls.

Seagulls?
- Aha.

They're like the wild doves
we have back home.

Wild doves aren't tied to any place.

They live completely freely.

The whole world is theirs.

Hey, Cuma I want to sign up
my little doves for school.

What do I have to do?

There's a school near us.
We'll sort something out. Don't worry.

Thanks a lot, Cuma. Bless you.
Come on, Mamo.

Hey, what's going on?

You disgrace to men.
What are you still doing here?

You lot should be slaughtered one by one.

What do you want?
Help... Help...

Yell all you like, sweetie.

Now fuck off before you get
yourself in any more trouble.

Move it. Come on.
Out of here.

Scum.
They pollute the neighbourhood.

But they're going to go.
Count on it.

When did the pains start?

With the baby before last.

How many children do you have?

Six.

Were they all home births?

Aha.

How old were you when you got married?

Thirteen.

less your husband a relative?

My first cousin.

The signs aren't good.

There's a problem in the womb.

We'll decide what to do as soon as
the results come back from pathology.

Selam aleykum, dad.

Aleykum selam.

Selam aleykum, dad.

Welcome.
- How are you, Havar?

Fine, dad.

Kids, I've got news for you.

You'll be going to school soon.

School?
- When will we be going, dad?

Soon, my love.
Very soon. OK?

OK.

Dad...
Where's Kadri?

Well, your uncle and his lot went
to sort out their passport business.

I told Kado not to go.
But he didn't listen and went out.

You saw for yourself today.

People are cruel and selfish.

Discrimination is bad and outdated.

It's so hard to live freely in this country.

You looked at me so sweetly today.
Let's hear about you.

Who are you? What do you do?
Where have you come from?

We're from the east.

They evacuated our village.
We were told to leave.

We had no choice.
So we came here.

You're the first person I've met in Istanbul.

You're the first person I've talked to.

You'll be my first friend.

My name's Can.
But around Taksim they call me Cansu.

And I'm Kadri.
But in the village they call me Kado.

Isn't Cansu a girl's name?

Yes, of course it is.

But you're a man.

No I'm not.

What are you?

A transvestite.

What?

What's that?

The decision is yours, Davut.

lf you like, we can go and
talk to those men I found.

We need to be very careful though.
They're people traffickers after all.

Well, have they done this business before?

It's their job.
We'll go and talk to them tomorrow.

All right.

Havar, I'm going to the grocery shop.
Do you want anything?

No, Kadri.

G�listan, why are you so sad?

Your son will be back from the army soon.

Everything comes from God.

less there ever an end to our troubles?

Havar, aren't you ready yet?

Hurry up.
We're going on a day trip.

G�listan, come with us if you like.

Kids, dad, come on.
We're going out. Come on.

Hurry. We're going to see the sea.
Quick. Come on.

Delal my love, hold my hand.

Come on, grandpa.

Kadri. Kadri. Kadri. Come here.
Come on. Come over.

Mamo, is Nomay a nice place?

Nomay?
Aha. Very nice.

Dad, when are we going?

It won't be long now, son.

Dad, will they give me
an artificial leg in Nomay?

Let's go, Davut.
The men are expecting us.

OK.
Let's go.

Come on, son.

less this the cute caterpillar
you were talking about?

Yes. Kadri...
This is Petek.

Hello.
Welcome.

Hello.

Tuana...

Welcome.
- Tansu...

Welcome.
- And I'm Fifi.

And this is my dad.

Here, girl.
Need a wax too?

Hey. Leave the kid alone.

Poor little newbie.

Run. Go on, run.

Slow down, my love.
Don't fall in the sea.

Don't cry now.

Welcome, boss.

The doctor's forbidden it.

How many people?

Four.

It's 3000 Euros per head.
That makes 12, OOO Euros.

We take the money upfront.

You heard.

That's really a lot of money.

Well, if we pay it all upfront,
what happens afterwards?

Your situation is risky, sir.

lf you don't trust us, don't go.
It's that simple.

We'll be finished, friend,
if we don't go to Nomay.

Well, how will they get to Nomay?

We'll talk about that later.

First let them make up their minds.

Shipping is our business.

Dad. Wait, dad.

As I said, the machine gets
everything spotless.

You just have to press this button.

less everything clear, madam?

Havar, he's asking you.
Is everything clear?

Yes. Yes, it is.

Yes, it is, friend.

Good.
I hope it serves you well, then.

Thanks.

Here's my card.
Any problems, give me a call.

OK.

Havar...
I went to a friend's house today.

All the men there were like women.

What are you talking about, Kado?
Mamo will kill you if he hears.

I spoke to Kerim today.

They found work right away in Mersin.

They seem to be doing really well.

Good. May things keep getting better.

Davut, how did you get on?

God willing, we'll leave
as soon as Berat gets back.

We've got a long trip.
Feed and water the animals.

Give them plenty to eat, OK?

I'll be there in a couple of hours.

Zaza. Load them on.
Come on.

Ok.

Load them on.
Move it.

Where have you been, friend?

The traffic...

What's all that?

Personal belongings.

We're not a removal company, sir.
It's one bag per passenger.

What's that?

A partridge.

We're carrying enough animals, sir.

No can do.
Now come on. Move.

Come on. Quick.
Get off your asses.

Haydar..

Zaza.
Fill the truck up.

Thanks for everything.

Don't mention it.

Come on.
Move it.

We've got a long trip.
Move.

I'll introduce you to my boyfriend.

Let's see if you like him.
Come on. Move.

My beautiful girls...
My precious little ones.

Your dad's going to buy you uniforms.
And you're going to go to school.

Study as hard as you can.
OK, my love?

Delal...
You be a teacher.

Zelal, you...
You be a doctor.

And you, Hazal...
You be an engineer.

Mum, what shall I be?

A district governor.
You be a district governor.

We'll decide about Bemal
when she's grown up a bit.

And Serhat can be whatever his dad wants.

Mum, we'll study very hard
when we go to school.

Well done, my beautiful girls.

Mum, when are we going back
to the village?

But, my love...
We only just got here. The village?

No, there's no village.
Forget all about the village.

Come here.
That's it, my beautiful girl.

Thanks, Cuma.

Thanks, Cuma.

She's a bit shy but...

Really?
She's very cute.

See you then.

Don't run away, Kado.
Don't run away.

What the hell are you doing
with pansies like that?

Who was that guy?

Where did you find that queen?

There's no place for pansies in our family.

Get up.
Move it.

Move it.

Mamo. How come you dumped this stuffff?
Where did you go?

Kado must never leave this room.

I caught him outside
with a bunch of pansies.

He'll end up making a murderer of me.

I don't understand that boy.

Dad?

Yes.

I don't trust these guys at all.

Captain. Come on.
They should get ready.

Come on. Get ready.
We're going ashore. Move.

Necip. Flash the light.

Do it again.

Come on. Move.

That's it from us.

There's a new life waiting for you.

Good luck and all the best to you.

Close her up now. Come on.
There we go.

Ramo, if they operate on me,
who will look after the kids?

I will. Don't worry.
Just get yourself well.

Ramo... If it weren't for Serhat,
would you have taken a second wife?

Mother of my kids. Sunshine of my life.

I have eyes for nobody but you.

Mum, we're going out to play.
Should Zelal come with us?

OK. But keep close to the house.

All right, mum.

Slow down, girls.

Havar, it's your operation today.
Stop working. Come on. Let's go.

OK.

Take good care of the kids.

OK, Havar.

Doctor, I entrust my wife
first to God, then to you.

Don't worry, Ramazan Bey.

Open the door. Open the door.
Open the door.

We're going to die in here.
Open the door.

Come on, you bastards.
Open the door.

We're about to suffocate.

Delal...

You're a big girl now.

You're 11.

You're the mother in this house
until your mum gets back.

OK, niece?

OK.

Lori Lori Lori...

You said 30 minutes and it's been an hour.

Look, my uncle wouldn't lie.
He's coming for sure.

Something must have
happened on the way.

We're running late, my friend.

Look, he'll be here soon enough.

Isn't he here yet, son?
- No.

less this Nomay?

No, it's Denmark.
Uncle Nedim is taking us to Nomay.

Where on earth is he?
- He's not here yet, dad. Honestly.

Hey. Uncle Nedim's here.

Welcome, nephew.

Where have you been, Nedim?

Welcome, Davut. Welcome.

That's it from us then.

Goodbye.
- Thanks.

Dad, I'll get the bags.

OK, son.

Nephew...

Welcome, uncle.

Nedim, that journey did us in.

We came all that way
and there wasn't one police search.

That's because Schengen countries
have lifted their borders.

In other words, everyone is free
to go to any country they want.

What?
Are you serious, Nedim?

We'd get searched a dozen times
just going from the village into town.

Uncle, what are those whirly things
in the water there?

They convert wind energy into electricity.

So Davut, what's new back home?

Nothing but poverty.
Nothing but fighting and bloodshed.

Well, if the guys at the
top are always fighting...

...you can't expect the
people to live in peace.

There used to be a saying, remember?

lf the imam farts,
what can the congregation do?

Yes.

The guys at the top are only worried
about their seats in parliament.

What have the people
who die in Turkey done wrong?

Some 40 to 45, OOO people have died.

Who are these people for goodness sake?

We're the people who die.
And we're the people that kill.

You know, I've given up hope, Nedim.

Whatever I say, no one can understand
without living there.

Don't I know it, Davut?

Where else has there been
torture like the torture we faced...

...in Diyarbakir jail back in 1980?

The day I ran from the fascist coup
I was 26.

It's easy to say but that was 28 years ago.

And nothing has changed.

It won't change either.

As long as those imperialist countries
continue acting as they do...

...as long as people keep
making money out of war...

...nothing will change,
nor will the war ever end.

No one thinks of the mothers or the fathers.

God damn them all.

My handsome son...

Delal, if Serhat cries,
give him his dummy.

Dad, I know how to make his food.

Good for you, my love.

Delal, don't go out whatever you do.

lf you get bored, turn on the TV.
OK?

OK.

OK, I'm going.

Come home early, dad.

OK.

Come on, dad.
Mamo, we're leaving.

I'll be right there.

Kado, keep an eye on the kids.

Fuck it.
You miserable shit.

Wow, uncle.
Those mountains are so beautiful.

Could they ever take the place
of our snowy mountains?

You like it, nephew?

Yes, a lot, uncle.

There, Nomay's fjords for you...

Don't stay another minute.
Leave the house right now.

Please go away.
Don't let them see you.

Carry on like this and you'll ruin your life.

They'll kill you.

Look, you have my number, right?
Call whenever you need to. OK?

My brother will kill me
if he finds out I've seen you.

Please go.

We're not in the backwoods here.
Call me.

Uncle, why is this milk all thick?

Give it here. It's gone off.

What are you doing there?
It's not a toy.

It's like this 300 days out of 365.
Overcast and rainy.

People here miss the sun.

You rarely ever see the sun here.

�Politi'.

What?

The police. The police.
Don't be alarmed, Davut.

Look, thousands of villages
in the region have been evacuated.

Hundreds of thousands of people
have been forced to migrate.

Try to understand these people.

That's Turkey's problem.
There's nothing we can do.

We'll have to send you to Oslo.

Go and see Cuma, son.
Ask him for help.

Go to the police station.
Do something.

OK, dad.

Butterflies.
That's what we are.

Life is a tightrope for us.

You turn one way,
lose your footing and whoops....

You find yourself off the bridge.

Don't be a bug or a butterfly.

Get yourself a proper job.

I can't work.
I'm not like my brothers.

I've killed the man inside me.

Ooh. There's a man in there?.
Where?

Bring him out.
I want to see him.

Tansu...
Don't be a bitch.

You must earn your own living
like everyone else, girl.

What did you call me?

I called you ��girl'.

Hey. Where on earth
did you find this newbie?

Dad, didn't mum send us any messages?

Of course she did.

What did she say, dad?

You know what she said?

Say hello to all my little doves.
And tell them I really miss them.

Dad, take us to the hospital too.

To the hospital?

When your mum's a bit better, my love,
I'm going to take you all.

The children won't sit still, son.
They're in tears all the time.

Don't run around, my love.
Don't make grandpa angry, OK?

Come on, Ramo. We'll be late.

Son, check again with the police station.

OK, dad.
See you this evening.

Twenty horse mackerel...

And eight bonito.

Delal, let's go and play.

OK. Sure.

Sweet Serhat.

My beautiful baby.

Zelal, Serhat's pooed in his nappy.
Shall we give him a wash?

Don't cry, Serhat.

You'll soon be clean, sweet Serhat.

Don't cry, Serhat.

Come, Come.
Open the door.

In the name of God...

What's going on, children?

Why have you got the machine working?

Grandpa, we put Serhat in the
machine to wash him.

What?.
You put him in the machine?

Take him out. Take him out.
Delal.

Hazal.

We can't accept everyone who comes here.

We're going to have to deport you.

It was so very hard
for us to come all this way.

Please don't.
Don't send us back.

We have to send you back.

There's no alternative.

Sir, can you describe
how the incident happened?

We've been caught
been the mo sides for 25 years.

Even my own children are divided.

One joined the guerrillas and
took to the mountains.

The other is a soldier.

Our situation speaks for itself.

Why did you come to Nomay?

Where we lived used to be the
most beautiful place on earth.

But they turned it into a living hell.

I lost the son who became a guerrilla.

Do you know what it means to lose a son?

What cause can be more
important than human life?

What war can be greater than peace?

I came here because I want to
live like a human being...

...and not keep losing my sons.

You see, my youngest son...
...stepped on a mine.

Show them your leg, Azat.

Put this down for the record.

The court rules as follows.

One: that Haydar Altun
and Ramazan Altun be acquitted...

...given insufficient grounds
for sentencing...

...under article 2216
of the Turkish Penal Code.

Two: that the five children
in their charge be put in the care...

...of the Social Services
and Child Protection Agency.

I don't understand.

We're taking your children away
so the state can look after them.

The state?

So yes, the state is paying you
10,600 Kroner every month.

In Turkish money that works out
at something like 2000-2500 Lira.

Paying us?

Why are they paying us
when we're not even working?

Only God gives without taking.

Are you sure there's no catch involved?

We're talking about
a welfare state here, Davut.

I've spoken to the asylum officer.

As far as Azat's concerned
they've promised to help.

So yes, once we're out of here
all that's left to do is...

...find a house first, then some work.

Tell me, G�listan,
what sort of house shall we look at?

G�listan, what's happened to you?

Why won't you speak?

None of your sister's wounds
have ever healed.

She's been like this for seven years,
ever since the mine exploded.

All she thinks about is Azat.
About the children.

I didn't see. I didn't see
what the children were doing.

What a wave of disasters we've been hit by.

May God keep you from anything worse.

It's best to leave everything to time.

How many times did I tell you...

not to take me away.

Patience, Haydar. Patience.

He's right.
There's surely a solution to everything.

It's God that gave you the boy,
and God that took him away.

It wasn't your fault, my love.
It was the machine's fault.

Now my little doves...

...you're starting school tomorrow.

From now on you'll all be sleeping there.

I've spoken to the headmistress.
They'll be coming to fetch you.

All of us, dad?

Yes, all of you.

I'm not going.

I'm not going either, dad.
I'm staying with you.

But my love, it was so hard
to get you in there.

There's lots of kids at the school.

Don't be like this.

There are toys.
They play games...

...they go on trips, they learn.

Now don't cry, my little doves.
No more tears. Don't make me sad.

Like I said stick together once you're there.

Work hard at your studies. OK?

Now kiss your grandpa's hand.

My little partridges...

My geraniums,
my hyacinths, my violets...

Work hard at your studies.
All right?

Let me take the baby.
Let me have him.

Dad, come with us.

Don't be like this, my doves.

You're going to school and
crying at the same time.

Off you go now. Go on.

Come on, kids.
Let's get in the van.

The boy's making progress every day.
So is his sister.

Welcome, children.

Well, I was expecting you.

I'm your head-mother here.

Girls...
Shall we have a wander round?

And you know what?
We have a playroom too.

OK. Let's all go together.

All right?
Come on then.

Thank heavens for that.
She's opened her eyes.

Isa, you go.
You've got things to do.

Ramo, she'll soon get better.

lf she doesn't get better,
we'll move to Istanbul too.

Zehra and mum will look after Havar.
They'll look after the kids too.

How will we get the kids back?

We should think about that.

lf they don't let us have them,
we'll steal them away.

Come on.

Go my beautifuls.

Ramo.

Are you all right my sun shine?

Everywhere aches. Ramo.

What?

How are my children?

Very good.
May God presence from evil.

Really?
- Yes.

Bring my children to me.

Children, your head-mother's here.

How are you, children?

We're fine, head-mother.

Children, aren't you going to welcome
your new friends?

Welcome.

Now has everyone brushed their teeth?

Yes.

Well done.

Hayriye, take the girls off
so they can get settled.

These are your beds, girls.

Everything happens to the poor.

Foist them on the rich again.

Take from us.

Embellishment is an excuse.
You know this stuffff right?

Fairy tale.

Hello.
- Hello, Cuma.

There was a lad living round here.
A bit effeminate.

Do you know where he's moved?

No idea.

Where can we find him then?

Those losers generally hang out
at transvestite bars in Beyoglu.

And sometimes they go out to work
in Harbiye.

What work is that?

Prostitution. You know?

OK. Good night then.
- Good night.

Come on. Let's go, Mamo.

There's something dodgy there.

Hey, come on. Come on.

Run, run.

Good evening.

Good evening, hubby.

We're looking for someone called
Can who lives in Tarlabaqi.

Can?
- Can.

What's this Can like, hubby?
A butterfly or a bug?

He's just plain Can.

Are you up for it, hubby?

Buy one, get one free.

Fuck off.
Just fuck off.

Mamo...
Mamo.

Life brings suffering
as well as happiness, Davut.

Don't let it get you down.
Haydar will get over this too.

How's work?
Do you have an easy time there?

It's great, thanks, uncle.

Uncle, there's something
I can't figure out, you know.

Why haven't you been able to
adjust to life here?

Well, nephew. Wherever it is,
no place far from home is bearable.

Not even if it were paradise.

Do you know what Cahit Sitki said?

��I long for a homeland'

��With skies of blue,
branches of green, fields of gold'

��A land of birds and flowers'

��I long for a homeland'

��Where life, like love,
comes from the heart'

��Where if there is cause to complain,
it is because of death'

��I long for a homeland'

��Where there is no grief,
nor cause to yearn'

��Where there is an end to brothers fighting'

Here, love. The king's for you.
The queen goes to the king.

And here's the jack.
He's for all of us.

Newbie.

It's time you went to work.

There's no eating for free
without going out on the game.

Tansu. Don't be a bitch.
Don't make me lose it either.

What's going on, Cansu?
Life is hard for all of us.

She has to work just like all the girls.

Just ignore her, love.

Goodbye, head-mother.

Goodbye. Bye.

Do I look nice, head-mother?

Beautiful. Goodbye.

The girls haven't recovered
psychologically yet.

They'll be seeing their mother
very soon, doctor.

In all the years I've been here
I've never seen such a devoted father.

Poor thing...
He's been here every night.

Do you know the person in the photo?

Thanks.

Sorry sister, do you know
the person in the photo?

Don't look at me like that, Tansu.
I haven't done anything wrong.

Oh no?. Don't steal my fucks again
or you'll be sorry.

Tansu.

Cansu, keep out of this.

Excuse me...
Excuse me.

Do you have any �brunost'?

The kind you put on bread.
I guess not.

Berat.
Come and see what the man wants.

I'll be right there, dad.

Hello. Can I help?

I want some �brunost'.

Brun..?

�Brunost'.
The kind you put on bread.

�Brunost'...
Ha. Brown goat's cheese.

Over there.

Thanks.

Well done, son.

No, dad.
It's a tricky language.

Sorry, sister.

Do you know this person?

There, over there.

This way. Come on.

So was that Kadri we were chasing?

Let's ask that camp fellow in the bar.
He'll know.

Think carefully. Don't do anything
you regret when you find the boy.

In fact, just forget the whole thing.

We'll take care of it now, Cuma.

Ramo and I will figure something out.

Remember.
I'm always here for you.

Thanks, Cuma.
Thanks.

Let me talk to him first if that's OK.
And you can examine him afterwards.

Sure.

Nephew...
The doctor will measure you first...

...then they'll operate if necessary.

OK, uncle.

That's my boy.

Now put your leg up here, nephew.

Now lie down nephew.

Well done.

We need to find you a new place to live.

But I don't have anywhere to go in Istanbul.

less this some kind of custom or what?

It's customary to migrate
but this isn't about customs.

My situation's more serious than that.

My brothers can't bear me being like this.

They won't rest easy until they've killed me.

Who gave you that?
Your boyfriend?

No. I brought it from the village.

We call it �berfin'.
Its Turkish name is �snowdrop'.

The flower has a story behind it.

Only one living thing on earth
is in love with the sun.

And that's the �berfin'.

The flower is in love with the sun,
but has never seen it.

You see, it knows that it'll die
the moment it sees the sun.

All �berlins' look at the sun
knowing that they're going to die...

...and wilt away that very minute.

Nothing can match the bravery of a �berfin'.

Ayyy.

Havar.

Are they here, doctor?

Yes.

Come on, dear.
Let's go.

Careful now.
Don't hurry.

Run, girls.
Run.

Look how pretty you are.

I am going to stay with you Mum.

Mum, don't leave us.

Don't cry now.
Do you think I'd leave you?

Mum...
Mum... Mum...

Darling, my precious.

Where's Serhat?

Dad? Mamo?
Where's Serhat?

Why won't any of you say anything?

Where is he?

Serhat.

How's that, Azat?
All right, son?

Great, dad.

I'm glad we're here, Nedim.

We're here, but my mind
is always on the family.

On the wretched people back home.

I can't stop thinking of our
snowy mountains.

Davut, there are contradictions
in those mountains you miss.

Terrible contradictions, too.

You have the guerrillas singing,
��Come up to the mountains.'

Then there's the army song that goes,
��I'll blow you to pieces, mountains.'

But if only the mountains
could be left to themselves...

...left to the birds, to the flowers,
to the bugs and the butterflies.

lf only they could rest.

How wonderful that would be, Nedim.
How wonderful.

We've seen what a nice life
people have here all together.

People are human beings above all,
whatever their language or religion.

Come on now. Tea time.

Here you are, sweetie.
- Thanks.

Hey, it's your guys.
Come on. Move.

What is this maniac doing?

Sorry, sister.

Do you know this person?

What's his name?

It's Kadri...
Kadri.

I think I know him.
Why are you looking for him?

Find him for us, sister.
We want to talk to him.

In that case, come to
the old Galata Bridge at sunrise.

I'll find Kadri and bring him along.

OK then.
Bye.

What happened, sister?
Couldn't you find him?

No. I looked everywhere.

Doesn't he have an address or anything?

Why are you looking for him?

He's gone his own way,
made his choice.

It's his life.
What harm is he to you?

His world is one thing,
yours is another.

Don't stay here.

Take your kids and go back to your village.

Give up looking for Kadri.
Bye-bye.

Kado.

Turn round to face me, Kado.

Ramo, Mamo,
God made me like this.

I know you're going to kill me.

When I die, I'll stand before God
and ask him just one thing.

I'll say,
��Why didn't you make me a woman?'

Go on Mamo...
Shoot me. I'm ready.

Mamo...
Just let him go.

Come on, Mamo.
Mamo, you know I'm a woman.

Mamo, let him go.

I've done everything you can imagine.

On the floor, standing up, in bed.

I've had all kinds of sex.

Your brother's a woman.
Accept it.

Your brother's a woman.

Shut up.

I told you.

You didn't listen.

It's beneath us, Kado.

Mamo.

Kado...

Brother.

Come on, nephew.
Walk for your mother.

But with your head held high.

Mum.
Mum.

Mum.

Azat.

Dear head-mother This is Ramazan Alton.

I'm very grateful to you
for looking after my children.

My wife, the sunshine of my life,
got better in the state hospital.

Thanks to the mother state.

But then there's also a father state
that made a big mistake with us.

We were pitched into a foreign land
where we couldn't adjust.

We decided to come back.

I'm going to carry on raising
my kids in the midst of the fighting.

But how wonderful it would be...

...if people who sing the same songs
people who support the same teams...

...and are brothers in the same land
could embrace one another for once.

It's us men who want war
and the mothers who weep.

It's my belief that only mothers
can put an end to this business.

We look forward to seeing you
if you're ever this way, head-mother.

With my greetings and regards...
