Salim, Veysel and Şenol are three brothers living in a country house. Their
father had died a few years ago. Their mother is confined to bed due to a severe
disease. Salim and Veysel are working together as shepherds. Şenol is a high
school student, but he had to drop out from school due to his elder brother
Salim’s decision. He’s obliged to look after his mother, and do all the
housework.
Salim dominates and humiliates his brothers. Although he works together with
Veysel, he takes all the money they earn. Salim’s dream is to get married. He
spends most of the money to his dowry. He has a locked room, where he keeps all
the new house-ware. Salim gets in touch with a matchmaker known as Sergeant and
pays him a fee for his efforts to find him a wife. Veysel has to serve as a
soldier, but he’s penniless; because his elder brother takes all his money. He
tries to get his share from his brother, but Salim ignores and mistreats him.
Şenol waits patiently for Salim to get married. Because he hopes that his
brother’s wife would save him from looking after his sick mother, and doing all
the housework. And more importantly he hopes to go back to school.
Sergeant finds a girl for Salim. After paying an expensive bride price, and
giving plenty of jewelry to the girl, they make a religious marriage. The girl
demands more, and Salim spends all the money he has, including his brother’s
share. Just before their official marriage the girl runs away. Conned by the
girl, Salim is deep in dept. Still waiting for Salim to pay his money, Veysel
loses his patience. Tied up together with dreams and disappointments, the three
brothers will have one last confrontation.
Director Statement
My film covers the inner journeys of characters living in the heart of Anatolia.
All characters are unique. They all have different dreams. They struggle with
themselves while they try to establish their own worlds. Three brothers and an
oppressive father... After the dad dies, the elder brother takes over his
despotism. Lost in their own struggles, the brothers pull away from each other.
Their struggle for existence turns into a vengeful confrontation revealing a
social realist drama.
