When i first saw the Movie, it was completely in Greek, so i wasn't able to understand it entirely since my Greek is a little bit "rusted" ;) But i saw that it was excellently made, and was overwhelmed when i saw "Tamer Karadagil".
So it had my interest. After seeing it in the cinema, in German, it conquered also my heart. Such a fantastic movie about Love, Politiks, Meals, Old Men, Astronomy, Gastronomy, and the enduring pain of homesickness even after so many years.
Without spoiling: The acting of Fanis Father (Ieroklis Michaelidis) is so beyond fantastic, that you wish the whole movie was made again from his perspective! A great contribution to the Turkish-Greek relations, and hopefully it will finally find its ways to the Turkish cinemas, as far as i know it wasn't shown there yet. It surprises me by the way, that it came nearly 2 years after the premiere into German theaters. Why so extremely delayed? And why in some Countrys even not? For example Turkey ;)
Great thanks to my Greek neighbors for this great movie. And by the way good luck in 4th of June in Istanbul ;) (WM Qualification 2006).
