One fine morning, Fikret, a man of 90 years old who lives alone, hears the
cooing of a dove from the air shaft of the building. Nobody sees the dove
confined in this air shaft without any window, door or aperture. Of all those
living in the building, only some hears that cooing. Ercan the doorman is stuck
in between - on behalf of a few people hearing that sound, he tries to intercede
with the building manager who does not listen to anybody else. Though
reluctantly, Ercan tries to find the source of a sound he does not hear.
The inspiration for this film was a cooing dove in the building I live. This
sound that I followed while writing the script and shooting the movie, led me in
the physical sense, to the claustrophobic feeling of a prisoned bird, and in the
metaphorical sense, to desperation of individuals stuck in the political, social
and economical bottleneck of my land, those people who cannot express their
feelings to leaders who never listen to their voice. I hope that our voice is
heard due to film festivals.
