You were coughing all night.

I hope you're not getting sick.

I'd do anything for you.

Hey, ho!

There's been snow up in the hills.

What are you going to do

with that milk?

Oh, Nesibe!

My troubles never seem to end.

I think the boy's sick.

I've made the milk for him.

The sun's beautiful. Get up.

Go into town. Go down to the village.

Go and see Mikahil.

Come on now. Get up, son.

Come on.

Hey, Yusuf! Where are you off to?

Going into town?

Aha, Ahmet Amca.

So are we. Come and wait with us.

The minibus will soon be here.

Now forget that business

and stop talking rot, Ahmet.

What's this tourism thing about?

Tell us about that.

I don't understand

the first thing about it.

A place without tourism

has no chance of development.

Once you've got tourism, you get

guesthouses, hotels, restaurants...

- What did you say, Ahmet Amca?

- I'm talking about tourism. Tourism!

I guess the minibus is running late.

So maybe I'll walk.

Look who you ask! The guy's off his head

after 10 years in jail.

What else do you expect

after that long in prison?

OK, kids.

Is there anything else you want?

Have you got any Russian novels?

Have a look on that shelf up there.

You should find a couple.

Thanks.

That's eight million.

- Thanks.

- Goodbye.

God, even their hookers are educated!

That'll be eight million.

Abi, are you from around here?

I feel like I know you from somewhere.

If you say so.

Come back!

I've left you something to eat.

You know what he's like.

He turns up next day and says sorry.

Don't you know him yet?

Is my little Sopiko at home, Mum?

Put her on the phone.

Sopiko, how are you, my sweet?

I miss you so much.

What would you like?

Tell me what I can get you.

OK. You want a horse-drawn carriage?

I'll get you one to play with.

Now give the phone back to Granny.

Mum, I have to go now.

I'll call again later.

- You're done?

- Yes.

Hey, Yusuf!

What's up?

I guess the outdoors

doesn't do it for you.

No, it's not that.

It's just I wasn't feeling so great.

Right, OK. Well, come on then.

Let's have a smoke outside.

The weather's turned too.

It looks like it's going to rain.

So... What are you going to do?

Go back to Istanbul?

No.

I'm here for the time being.

I'll probably stick around here

for a few months more.

What have you been up to?

When I didn't get into university

I started working with my dad.

The idea was to stay a few months

and then take off somewhere else.

But suddenly it's 10 years later

and I'm still here, f*** it!

Never mind

This place is just another prison.

Hey, Mikahil! Haven't you finished

those door and window frames yet?

Harun Amca...

I told you I had anotherjob to finish
