there seem to be many fan of this movie here and but i find it bore and slow and meandering and and pointless . and i watch and enjoy plenty of art house and independent film and so i wasn not expect an action movie . i do not sympathize with either character . the guy from the countryside be a bad guest and do not seem to be try very hard to find a job and and his relative in istanbul be humorless and close off emotionally . in an interview on the dvd and the director say that the movie be about a common situation in turkey the person leave in the countryside because there be no job and come to istanbul and stay with relative while try to find work . that in itself be interesting and but the movie wasn not .
