- Nothing'll happen. Don't worry...

I sent my regards to you.

Thanks for remembering me

and sending your book.

I read it from time to time.

Some of poems I seem to

remember from the past.

- Which ones?

- I don't know, "The Well" I suppose?

I wrote that for you.

I caused you to suffer.

I was young.

You used to publish your

poems in the magazines.

- I don't write much nowadays.

- Why not?

I don't like what I write.

You don't come

here very often, do you?

I can't get away.

When I was in Ankara I missed

Tire very much. You know?

In Ankara everywhere

else looks good.

When I came back I was disappointed.

I wondered why I had missed this place.

- Why?

- I don't know.

God knows how we thought about

this place when we were young.

- You had missed the old days.

- Maybe.

How is everything in Istanbul?

Do you remember, you used to say that

you couldn't live anywhere but in Tire.

- Did I say that?

- You said that.

I used to hate this place, Gl.

Stay tonight.

You can go tomorrow.

OK.

Mother Zehra left these.

Aren't you going to look at them?

I'll look at them later.

- What are you knitting?

- A pullover.

Mother Zehra was knitting it.

It is the same color as

the scarf you sent me.

We wanted it to be same color.

Remember, you sent it

for the last religious fest?

No.

I think we blew a fuse.

- Have you got an electric tester?

- I don't think so...

I'm telling you we have to

get this offering sorted out.

What does it have to do with this?

We have to change the fuse.

- Do you know an electrician?

- There is one in the town center.

...but it must be closed at this hour.

- I saw a shop just near the school...

- That shop must be closed down hours ago.

I'll have a look.

I'll go... You rest.

It's Ok. You make tea. I'll go.

- Are you closing?

- Yes.

We have a problem with the fuse.

Could you come and have a look?

Now?

You go on and

I'll come on my own.

- You know where my house is?

- No.

- Zambak Street, number 1.

- Ok.

The cable's burned.

You've overloaded it.

I'll fix it for now, but

you should change it.

OK.

- Would you like some tea?

- No, that's Ok.

Come on. Have some.

- Are you from around here?

- Sort of...

- Where from?

- From Odemis.

Who is your family?

- You wouldn't know them.

- You tell me...

- They called my father Ali the Brickmaker.

- Ali the wall- Maker... Is he still alive?

- Yeah.

- What is he doing?

He's gotten old. He is at home.

Well... And you are his son.

Send him my regards. Yusuf is

my name. He knows me.

Tell him that I'm Yusuf, Zehra's son.

He was at the funeral.

It's Ok now.

Thank you very much.

- Cigarette?

- No.

Your father used to dig wells.
