The first feature film of " Nuri Bilge Ceylan" is a personal film and the use of family factors, which we also see in his subsequent films. In this way, it can be said that the film is a family drama that the director made in his hometown. This drama, which has an attractive beginning, is seen from a child's point of view, and this point of view takes a path from the world of childhood to adulthood. The film is black and white and a light shine from the heart of a gray and black world and talks about hope for life and faith. The film is eternal and from this deep timelessness with a dreamy and imaginative atmosphere it reaches the complexity of human life and makes the audience infer emotions. Although in the middle of the film, it turns into dialogue-oriented sequences and becomes heavy, but the atmosphere created in the film is so impressive and appreciable that you will easily forget this temporary stretch.
