At the beginning of each passage, there will be a girl in a red dress singing songs that we don’t understand, accompanied by a small Turkish band. Every song is like Sibel’s emotions, as passionate as fire and as sexy as moonlight. Sibel...
Although they are also immigrants living in Germany, the lives of Cahit and Sibel are completely like two worlds. Cahit was over forty years old. After his wife passed away, his will was depressed. He took drugs and alcohol to fight. It seems that only the repeated death-seeking can make him vent his anger and make him feel that he is still alive, and being alive is just a torture for him. Finally, once he drove towards a wall, he met Sibel in the hospital because of a blessing in disguise. She is a beautiful girl, her eyes can make all men go to heaven. Sibel lives in a traditional Turkish family. She committed suicide again and again to get rid of the possession of her brother and rebelled against the family's supreme honor. Sibel is full of longing for a free life. She desperately wants to escape from this life. All she hopes is "really want to live, really like dancing, and really like sex." When they met for the first time, Sibel said, "Marry me." So they got married.
Married, live in a house, eat a pot of rice, and sleep on a bed, but they have no sex. She said: Then we will really get married. One sentence disintegrated all the impulses, and his love for her grew higher and higher with the restraint of desire. On the night when she was out for joy, he was like a beast trapped in a cage, but he was helpless at the muzzle of the subject in the photo. He has no choice.
That day, Sibel finally realized that she was in love with him, and she went back to him happily, only to find that he had beaten her lover to death because of jealousy. The publicity of youth made her find love but finally left it, because life is ultimately impermanent, and the wrong choice is irreversible. Love makes them lost, love makes everyone dangerous.
Cahit went to jail, Sibel chose to leave. I don’t know if the strange Istanbul is a foreign or hometown. Here, Sibel experienced the dangers of growing up alone, and she finally settled down, got married and had children. When Cahit came to her a few years later, they finally had the first harmony of spirit and flesh, but love cannot be equated to being together.
Because of love, I truly understand life, and it is precisely because I understand life that I finally chose to give up love. Although full of contradictions and paradoxes, they need to be faced in the end. Here, love became the springboard for Sible to return to the family, and it also made Cahit really start to face his life like a crashed old car. In this intertwined love, life gradually grows and matures, and in the bus where Cahit finally boarded alone, we can see that life has drifted farther and farther away quietly, and moved forward courageously.
