The Voice (Ses)

Good evening.

Good evening.

Will you dance with me?

Dance?

O.K.

Are you on the bride's side?

- Are you on the bride's side? - Yes...

...but I get kind of irritated by the girl.

Hope you're not one of her relatives or something?

No I'm a friend of the groom, from high-school.

Meeting someone is really tough. I wish there was a system...

...where you could load everything quickly into the brain.

- We'd save a lot of time. - Let's make it faster.

How?

We'll choose three things about ourselves to tell.

- What kind of things? - Private things.

- I'll go first. Then you carry on, O. K? - I'm not sure.

What's there to be sure about? It's easy, I'm starting...

I can cook great fish.

- Is that private? - Sure it is. I cook great fish stew.

Your turn?

I'm terrified of knives.

That doesn't count. Everyone's scared of knives.

My thing's different. I never use a knife.

If anyone puts a knife near me on the table, I change.

- You're kidding! - No, really.

O.K. Give me another one.

- But it's not my turn. - Forget turns. Who cares...

All right. I'm terrified of the morning call to prayer.

What's wrong with the morning call to prayer?

Sometimes I wake up very early at the crack of dawn...

...when it's all quiet and dark.

Shadows on the walls.

Exactly at that point, the morning call to prayer starts.

And there is a recurring dream I have.

I'm in a crowded place, could be anywhere.

Everything's normal, and then something happens.

Everyone suddenly vanishes.

And I'm left alone.

- It's ridiculous, ha? - No, I have dreams like that...

- Excuse me? - Excuse me?

What did you just say?

I was saying in my dreams I go to mountains...

No, you were saying something else...

And in the dream the sky is reddish at the time of DAWN.

THE VOICE

Derya.

We're here...

It was a nice wedding. Good for them.

I wish them happiness and a long life, that's all that matters.

You're right.

My brother says we should call him when we get home.

I'll be heading to London in two days to see Taner and his family.

How nice, you must have missed your granddaughter.

Taner bought a computer for us. I use it to talk to them.

It has that thing, a camera. But it's not as good as real of course...

There was a bakery at the corner. I used to buy pastries from it.

This neighborhood still feels like home to me.

What a pity. Onur is still a bit weird. He still couldn't get over it.

Mom, isn't that normal? His wife died in his arms.

And he's such a handsome boy. He has a good job and everything...

He could get anybody that he wants.

You keep disapproving...

You're both the same, nobody's good enough for you.

Mom!

What happened to that boy? You were dancing.

- He went off. - Why?

The song ended.

He seemed to be a good boy.

Stop calling him "boy", mom! He's a grown-up man!

Ltjust came out like that. I didn't mean it.

Obviously, things always comes out from your mouth 'just like that'...

Gizem. My sweetie. Where is grandma, where is grandma?

How are you mom? Was the wedding good?

Yes it was. Derya, come and talk to your brother.

I'm in the bathroom.

Wake up!

Mom.

Mom, was that you calling?

Mom.

Mom.

Hold this.

Or you'll end up alone...

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Did you have dreams last night?

Aha.

You kept muttering in your sleep. What did you dream about?

I don't remember. I was running around all over the place.

Why were you running?

- I was running away from someone. - Who?

No idea.

What kind of person, honey?

What was the face like? The clothes?

You can't interpret the dreams without the details, can you?

I can't remember, mom.

You didn't talk to that boy last night, remember? That got to you.

You keep scaring these boys away. I wonder what you've said to him...

You don't like anybody. You act weirdly...

Derya...

Lies... They are all lies...

- What? - What? What sweetie?

What did you say?

Derya, what happened??

Derya...

...what's wrong?

I don't know mom, I feel bad. Hold my hand.

Sweetie. I didn't mean to upset you.

I didn't mean to break your heart.

But it's time to find someone to share your life with.

You can't keep saying, I don't like this, I don't like that...

Or you'll end up alone...

All right fine. Enough said...

This one or this one?

This one.

Yes of course that's the one. Serkan keeps insisting this is the one.

He pissed off without saying his name, ha?

Yep.

What was his problem?

- I told him about myself. - Aha. Now I see.

You told him about your dreams, right?

Dreams, knives and morning call to prayer. You're incredible.

What was the other guy's name? You scared him offjust like this.

How many times do I have to tell you?

Don't spill all your secrets right away.

- Derya, are you O. K? - Not really.

What's wrong?

Never mind.

Men don't get it.

They are kids when they're 10, they are kids when they are 60.

You get them a car, two days later they break the thing.

Why? Because their desires are satisfied.

Hide it first, show it later.

Hide it first, show it later. That's the secret.

I guess I really don't get men.

- Good morning. - Good morning Mr. Onur.

- Your brother's daughter's name was Gizem, right? - Yes.

- Two and a half years old? - Aha.

What was that about? You looked very intimate?

- Intimate? With Onur? - Onur?

Don't be ridiculous Filiz. He used to be our neighbor you know.

He used to love me a lot, when we were kids.

I think he still does.

So you have an influential person behind you, that's good.

I have a question, have you been to his room lately?

- Yes. - Have you checked his desk?

Why? Why should I?

He used to have a photo of his late wife on his desk; now its gone...

Isn't that normal Filiz?

It's been over a year since the accident.

A year has passed.

Accidents, dear wives, and the mourning has been forgotten.

And now he's hitting on you.

Hitting on me, nooo! Mind your own business will you?

Come on! I just sat down...

Good morning, Filiz speaking. How may I help you?

Did you not wake up yet?

Wake up!

Are you O. K?

I'm O.K.

I did push the button actually, but... I didn't understand what happened...

Never mind. Go and wash your face if you like.

I'm checking it right now...

Speak.

Why don't you speak now? Speak!

Are you going nuts?

Have you lost it?

Could you please tell me your mother's maiden name?

Yes.

That's right.

Good morning, Derya speaking, how may I help you?

I'm listening.

Honey. I'm O.K., I'm leaving...

But why?

What if I want to see my love?

O.K. Kisses...

My date with Serkan is off.

Don't get on. Don't get on! Don't!

Don't get on! Don't!

Derya are you O. K?

Don't get on!

Don't get on!

What do you want from me?

We'll play a game.

Which game?

Cold-warm, do you know how to play?

Warm when I get closer, and cold as I get further away, right?

Yes, for instance now cold...

Cold, cold.

Warm, warm.

Warm.

Cold.

Warm.

Warm.

Warm.

Foto Safak (Dawn)

Cold. Cold, don't.

Warm.

Warm.

Warm, warmer.

Warmer, it will burn your hand.
