Again, in Anatolia, the epic drama of Ceylan unfolds. And again, questions of morality, ethics, and the nature of man are asked. Samet, an art teacher, desperately wants to be transferred from the rural village where he has spent four years. One day, his favorite student complains to the school about him. Ceylan makes movies of landscapes. More precisely, he pays attention to the hidden side of the landscape, and it is the human emotions that make it up. Each character has a position and a story, and their desires, loves, prejudices, misunderstandings, and jealousies shape the landscape in reverse. In the end, what we see is a human landscape. The movie continues to show photographs of people and landscapes, and they all look, no doubt, different. It would be nice if they were all beautiful and green. Even when they contain a barren desert, however, that’s their life too. (LEE Yong Cheol)
