An Anatolian village in the 1960s. Recep sells melons, Mehmet works at a hairdresser’s. Both are dreaming of their own movie theater. They have managed to get hold of a few film strips, and they have a barn to seat the audience. But how are they supposed to put movies on a screen without electricity and a projector? And Mehmet runs into an altogether different problem: his passion for cinema is rivaled by other feelings for the first time upon his falling in love with a customer’s daughter. With an ease like François Truffaut’s and a visual brilliance reminiscent of the work of Abbas Kiarostami, Turkish autodidact Ahmet Uluçay has made a debut film with a nostalgic hue that tells the story of a love for cinema and the end of a childhood.
