Journey to the Sun (Güneşe Yolculuk)

- Hello Berzan. - Hello.

How are you?

- Not bad, you? - Fine.

Do you have Koma Amed's cassette?

Come Mehmet, come.

I got it. Check it.

A big ship will be passing by. 10,000 tons!

I don't think it's here.

Come here, boy, stop fooling around. It's here.

But it's here.

Will you come on?

It's here. Dig here.

Didn't I tell you it was here?

Yeah, sure you did. I just said that to test you, boy.

Can I go now?

I got it, you're going to see her, aren't you?

Don't forget to drop off your tool.

- OK, I'll drop it off tomorrow. - OK.

Hello.

- How are you? - Fine, you?

- Want some sunflower seeds? - No, thanks.

The tram will be here in two minutes.

How do you know?

Listen.

I don't hear anything.

It will be here in a minute.

- See? - It's coming.

Do you like her stockings?

Yeah. They look nice on her.

They'd look nice on you too.

Who washes your shirts?

Me.

Bring your laundry tomorrow after work.

- OK, but on one condition. - What?

- We go to the movies afterwards. - OK.

- Agreed? - Agreed.

Blow the horn, bastard.

Come on, faggot.

Are you a fucking Kurd?

Run, catch those fuckers!

The motherfuckers got away!

- Did you see anyone go up? - No.

Nobody here either.

What's your name?

Mehmet.

Your lip's bleeding. Here, wipe it.

And your name?

Berzan.

Thanks.

You can hold on to it.

- How long have you been in Istanbul? - Two years.

You?

- A few months. - You're new at this, huh?

So where are you from?

Take it easy!

After two years you still haven't learned!

So where are you from?

- From Tire. - Tire?

See that?

So you're from Tire?

Here's what a guy from Tire can do!

- Come on, Tire guy. - See that?

Where's the missing money?

I swear I took nothing, man.

You spent it on chocolate.

- What's up? - Everything's just fine.

Put them under your pillow.

You wore those shoes the other day and they smell like a corpse.

You're jealous of me and my luck with girls!

Come on, I know you never get it on.

Leave the jam alone, man.

- What is it? - My Mom made pastries.

I love pastries.

Hands off!

Your mom cooked these?

Very tasty!

The hunger strike at Bayrampasha Prison continues.

While their condition remains critical,

no agreement has been reached with the Ministry of Justice.

The police have arrested relatives of the prisoners

and protesters at the prison.

That's Berzan.

- Who's Berzan? - A guy I met in a brawl.

How did you hurt your lip?

After a soccer match at Aksaray.

Why did you go there? You have a TV at home.

We don't have pay TV.

I can't hear you.

Speak a little louder.

It's me, Berzan.

No, they didn't hold us for long.

Any news from the village?

How is Shirvan?

Did you get the package I sent?

Tell Shirvan to take a picture and send it to me.

- Hello, how are you? - OK.

- Been here long? - No.

- Do you like the music? - It's good.

You can have it.

- How much? - Forget it.

- I saw you on TV. - What are you talking about?

They were taking you to jail.

It was no big thing.

- What are you up to? - Not much, I'll tell you later.

- Are you busy? - Not really.

So let's go somewhere.

OK, let's go.

Shehmuz, my friend has come.

I have to leave.

- You're off now? - That's enough for today.

The guy's OK.

Have a good time.

Five, six, seven...

...eleven, twelve, thirteen...

- Why did you come to Istanbul? - Huh?

To Istanbul?

So you could drag your ass here to watch the sunrise!

I asked why, you know?

- OK, I came to count the seagulls. - Where do you come from?

You've never heard of the place.

How do you know? Maybe I have.

I come from Zorduch.

Zorduch?

You see?

So where is this Zorduch?

Near the Iraqi border.

So tell me why you came to Istanbul.

They shot my father, Mehmet.

Who shot your father?

One night there was a raid.

They took him away and he never came back.

If he never came back, how do you know he's dead?

I know, Mehmet, I know.

Many people back home were killed.

He must be dead.

If not, why hasn't he come back?

Want to see his picture?

Who's this?

Shirvan.

- Is she from Zorduch too? - Yes.

Do you have a claim?

- Huh? - A claim?

- To what? - A girl you love, I mean.

Yes, I do. We have a date tomorrow.

Is she pretty?

- She's not your type. - How do you know?

- I've seen Shirvan's photo! - What's wrong with her?

Does she work?

In Sultanahmet district, in a laundry.

Hmm, a laundry.

You know you can't trust city women!

If you talk about Arzu like that, we can't be friends.

Sorry. I'll never talk about her again like that.

- You won't do it again? - Never.

I won't forget that.

OK, I said never, man.

- Which numbers are you missing? - 28 and 53.

I found 53. What was the other one? 28.

28's not here.

No TV then.

Soon you'll get underwear with newspaper coupons!

That too. They have the best Italian brands.

Then start collecting.

Maybe they'll help even with your face you'll find a husband!

You collect coupons too.

I collect them for fools like you.

Got number 28?

- What number did you say? - 28.

Let me look.

You'll work 2 hours overtime.

OK, I promise.

Hello.

- Where's your laundry? - I've come from work.

Bring it next time.

Too expensive for me, anyway.

You wouldn't have to pay.

Less talk, more work.

Less talk, more pay.

- Are you ready? - Wait... Can I go?

- What about the overtime? - Tomorrow.

You'll work 2 hours for leaving early,

- and 2 for the coupon. - 4 hours?

Now get out of here.

Semra, come with me.

You think you're pretty lucky, don't you?

Why?

You've found a girl to wash your laundry for free.

Don't draw it crooked.

Don't worry. Hold your skirt.

Beer?

OK.

We had a neighbor.

She was huge. 100 kilos.

I once saw her working in a beer hall.

There were glasses twice the size of these.

She would carry four glasses in each hand.

- Where was this? - Germany. I was born there.

Can you speak German?

Yeah, I've forgotten a lot though.

Say something.
