Nuri Bilge Ceylan : 2018
Ahlat Ağacı
For some, the countryside is a boundless place of exile where all hopes and dreams merge with despair like the coinciding destinies of fathers and sons. Sinan is passionate about literature and has always wanted to be a writer. Returning to the village where he was born, he pours his heart and soul into scraping together the money he needs to be published, but his father's debts catch up with him. The story of a young man who senses with a feeling of guilt that he is different in a way that he cannot come to accept, that he is being dragged towards a destiny that he cannot embrace, as well as the rich mosaic of people surrounding him, without favouring or being unfair to anybody. As the saying goes, "what a father keeps hidden is revealed in the son". One cannot help but inherit certain traits from one's father: weaknesses, habits, tics, among other things. The film tells the story of a boy being inevitably dragged into the same destiny as his father, in a plot loaded with painful experiences. Nuri Bilge Ceylan's feature premiered in competition at Festival de Cannes 2018.
