A perfect home

People are always fighting in life and fighting in society.
As a leftist figure, the protagonist chose the profession of journalist, but due to politics and social background, he had to live a difficult life, especially the coup d'etat when his wife was in labor, which reflected the fragility of people in front of society. And the subsequent heavy torture when his son was young, even if it was a quick shot, would not dilute the hardships of life.
But just like this, in order to reflect the preciousness of family affection.
The personalities of the family can be varied, stubborn and loving father, family-guarding and lively mother, weird but cute aunt, and Muna's but affectionate brother. . . But they all welcome the return of the wanderer.
The country may abandon you, society may betray you, like-minded comrades may just pity you, and only family members will truly love you.
Delicate feelings, small disputes that occur at any time, along with Turkish music and the child's innocent thinking, in fact, the cruel social background can be stripped away, leaving a touch of rural feelings.
Even though Sadik is dead, what can make people feel more is the warmth of the family, that touching and inseparable affection.
The film is not excessively sensational, does not overly describe the cruelty of reality, nor does it exaggerate the horror of death, does not overemphasize the resolution between father and son, and even use children's imagination to dilute all unpleasantness.
What it shows us is just a feeling of home.
A perfect home.
