This is a Turkish work, full of exoticism between light and shadow, yet resonates like no other in the commonality of human beings. Well, first of all I have to deal with the relationship of the characters - the main character is a German-Turkish professor who starts with him and ends with him. His father had an infatuation with a prostitute, perhaps he could call it undeniable love...hope this Turkish woman would live with him. The prostitute herself agreed to his demands under pressure and lived with him and his son. After killing the prostitute out of jealousy, the father went to prison, and the son returned to Turkey, disappointed with his father and determined. The protagonist who returns to his hometown wants to find the daughter of a prostitute to inform her mother of her death, and posts her picture in the city. However, her daughter, a true revolutionary and forced to flee to Germany, meets a German female university student who is so fond of each other that they fall in love with each other like mirrors of each other. Soon after, the Turkish woman was sent back to the country, and the German girl followed and eventually died in another country. The girl's mother also came to Turkey to find the traces of her daughter, and shared an apartment with the German professor, trying to save her daughter's spirit. Love - Turkish radicals rescued and live together. Finally, the film ends with the protagonist sitting by the sea, waiting for his father to go out to sea.
I have to say, "On the Other Side of Life" - the title itself is fascinating. Why is there another side to life? What's on the other side? What does the other side bring us? These issues are thought provoking, and it is true that everyone's life is different on the other side. First of all, this film depicts the expression of Che Guevara's free spirit in this unyielding girl from an objective point of view. The pursuit of freedom is not excessive. The encounter between the German girl and the Turkish girl impacted her natural yearning for freedom, and made her find the meaning of life and the symbol of life, but I don't understand why she will be the one who died in the end, or is so insignificant death. The father in the film is a character who connects the whole story. For a woman, he not only lost his son who had a deep friendship, but also suffered a prison disaster. Finally, when he returned to his homeland, he realized that the life facing the sea truly purifies the soul. , the place to understand the destiny. The protagonist suddenly discovers his father's deep love because of the words of the German girl's mother. He rushes to his father's place overnight, and removes the poster looking for a prostitute's daughter, and moves towards a new life, towards a life with new insights and accompanying his father. . The last one - the mother of the German girl, she adhered to her daughter's legacy and tried her best to rescue the Turkish girl. After she was released from prison, they used the life of their common bond as an opportunity to achieve reconciliation, and the mother probably regarded her as a daughter in her heart.
On the other side of life, the emergence of an opportunity will surely lead us to comprehend its landscape.

    Like the miss in the movie, like the hope in the movie. I like Ah Jin's three-stage style more than the rainstorm is coming.

    The theme is the first, the structure is too delicate and bizarre, and it is too powerful.
