Times and Winds

The film is the tale of four youngsters in a idyllic Turkish country town. Omer hates his Dad (Bulent Yarar) and spends his time coming up with ways to kill him. His best friend Yakup (Ali Bey Kayali) is in love with his teacher (Selma Ergeç) and walks around dreaming of her. Yildiz (Elit Iscan) is a precocious young girl who wanders around the hills, traumatized after seeing her parents indulge in intercourse. Then there is Yusuf (Yigit Özsener), the village orphan who herds sheep and is the constant playmate of the children. A beautiful film that plays out more like a documentary that takes a slice out of the lives of these kids.
