The three-hour movie, with a lot of long conversations in Turkish, looks really laborious and boring. The plot was as plain as a live broadcast of life scenes, and on several occasions, he was almost put to sleep by the tortured conversation. But after reading it, there is still a natural strong resonance. The film describes the process of Ceylon, a university graduate in rural Turkey, who wants to become a writer and tries to find investors to publish his first book. Ordinary family background, mediocre parents, secret girlfriends who married businessmen for money, hypocritical mayors, utilitarian entrepreneurs, classmates with no ambitions. Ceylon’s life in the countryside made him desperate. He thought he was incompatible with this environment. Sooner or later, he would leave his hometown to create his own new world. He often ridiculed his gambling father. But after running into a wall many times, serving in the military, and publishing books that no one cares about, even his mother and sister didn’t bother to read it. He gradually understood the reason for his father’s decadence, and he also began to appreciate his father’s indifference to himself. Love. Grandpa and father tried to dig a well on the hillside, tried intermittently for several years, and finally gave up. At the end of the film, Ceylon tried to hang himself at the head of the well, but later continued to dig down the well. Knowing that it would be difficult to succeed, he wanted to fight his fate symbolically. I believe that many people over here will resonate. When we are young, most of us think that we can change the world, but the result is often that we are changed by the world.
