boat out of watermelon rind ( karpuz kabugundan gemiler yapmak ) be a most charming film out of turkey . it follow a teenage boy and recep and working a an apprentice for the local happy watermelon man . his mother be evil ( involve in some unexplained human ear bake ring ) and but a nearby woman want to take him under his wing . auntie a he call her and be somewhat flirtatious and very much weird . recep have a crush on her eldest daughter and who resent him . the young daughter be infatuate with recep and who doesn not take her seriously . on the side and recep be also try to build his own movie theatre with two friend . they have get the film and the wooden projector box and a light and lens . now all they need be to find a way to manually move the film at 24 frame a second . boat be witty and wonderful and at time and weird . it a what cinema paradiso would be if david lynch direct it . it be not perfect . there be a lull about 2/3rds into the movie that be hard to ignore . but this be one of those rare smart film for the whole family .
