Erol Mintaş : 2014
Klama Dayika Min
Young teacher Ali lives with his ageing mother Nigar in İstanbul's Tarlabaşı district, home to many Kurdish refugees since the 1990s. When the ongoing gentrification of the old city forces them to move for a second time, they end up in the soulless concrete desert of the city's farthest outskirts. Nigar is convinced that her old neighbours have all moved back to their Kurdish village. Every morning she packs her belongings and sets out to return to her village. She roams the city, in search of her village and in search of the song that keeps returning in her dreams. All Ali can do is be kind to her: he buys her gifts, feeds her sweets, takes her on motorcycle rides and tries to help his mother find the song in her dreams. Meanwhile Ali discovers that his girlfriend is pregnant and that he is not ready to become a father. Torn between the two women in his life, Ali has to choose his own path. Erol Mintaş's feature debut was winner of the Heart of Sarajevo awards for Best Film and Best Actor when it premiered in competition at Sarajevo Film Festival 2014.
