What a great movie, reminds me of my childhood

It's very strange. I watched this film because of a comment "Every picture can be used as a postcard". The picture is really beautiful, the exotic atmosphere is very attractive, and the soundtrack is wonderful. But what touched me the most was the few scenes that passed by at the beginning: the old grandmother slapped the quilt on the clothesline with a thin bamboo pole, the protagonist’s grandfather hung peppers and garlic in his small shop, how beautiful, how fireworks... I
returned home last summer vacation When the weather was fine, my mother spread a piece of plastic sheeting in the yard, took out the old quilt and began to stitch and sew. I took 10 hours by train and 3 hours by bus on my way home. I was so exhausted that I took off my shoes and lay directly on the plastic sheet. At that time, the poplar trees outside the yard had not been chopped down yet. I took off my glasses and looked at the corner of the sky covered by poplar leaves. My ears were full of cries. The sun was shining warmly and the wind was blowing softly. Nagging aside that I lost weight again, I found an ear-picking spoon and started digging my ears. In a blink of an eye, I saw peppers and garlic cloves grown in my own farm hanging on the outside wall of the main room...
I highly recommend this film. My grandfather put the peppers on the boy's drawing paper where the sun was drawn, and the boy said the peppers were hot and spicy. Yes, but it gives vitality, this is the sun!

    See it in Shaw Hall, Chinese University. Humor is appropriate. The ending is a little weak.

    At first glance, the structure is similar to Paradise Cinema, and the theme it brings out seems to be nostalgia that is inseparable from childhood memories. In the middle is the national hatred and entanglement between Greece and Turkey, but it becomes clearer as you look back. A touch of sadness is not only due to the loss of Greek identity in Turkey, this old disease passed down from generation to generation may happen to anyone who has been to Byzantium, because the charm of this city on a city cannot be replaced.

  • Fanis Iakovides: Mussels always remind me of the hammam. When we'd go there I'd hear the elders open their souls as mussels do when steamed.

  • Fanis Iakovides: I realised then that other things can be cooked besides food.
