I'm not that much into turkish movies, but when I saw the trailer on Netflix, an old guy holding a Saz in his hands had to watch it, while my father was also Saz teacher. The movie is a nice reflection of anger and love combined, it touches you, while you sometimes feels the same feeling's against your loved ones. Definitely worth watching, the acting is GREAT, the cinematography is great!! Kivanc is really a great actor, it was beyond my expectations. A journey that also shows you the eastern parts of Turkey, the hospitality of the people living there, culture, traditions... the love for the Saz, which is really a big part of the culture, especially in the middle eastern part on turkey...

It is great that story is not in Isranbul but in Anatolia expressing a real cultural thema this timeunlike previous netflix Turkish movies. I find the intention of the movie good and really wanted to enjoy it. However there is a big lack of story telling and it was boring from the beginning to the end. It is kind of a road movie but you hardly get to know places they been to or peaple they met. Characters are all superficial. Kivanç and Settar are both great actors and their skills make the movie watchable, otherwise story was told in a boring way with serious issues on editing. I liked the cinematography though.

Very unexpected gem of a piece. Festival of Troubadours. You see a part of Turkey that is not the glitzy Istanbul or Bodrum or Izmir, etc. Some scenes reminded me of surreal locations in Gozu of Takashi Miike. It has a strange therapeutic feel to it this movie, gets you into a nihilistic mood, but still with a dash of hope somehow. Bare mountains and at times green valleys with half dried out river streams add to the melancholy. A slow, 90min ride of a son and a dying troubadour dad suddenly showing up after 25 years of disappearance. Lost love, lives and nothing but a subtle ode to Asik Veysel and maybe real Turkish spirit of innocence long lost these days.
