It is the summer of 1980 in a wonderfully idyllic Aegean town. Ten-year-old Ozan (Durukan Çelikkaya) has just ended the school year and, like every boy his age, is ready to conquer the neighborhood during the summer vacation. Led by patriarch grandfather Mehmet Efendi (Çetin Tekindor in a tour-de-force performance), whose own father is from Crete, his family is one of the first settlers in the town from the emigration... When the Sept. 12, 1980 coup breaks out, Ozan truly understands the repercussions of fascism as it is inflicted on his own family which has leftist views. Most importantly, the coup will affect Mehmet, and the question clearly becomes whether men of his countenance can survive in the post-coup Turkey, in which the "good Mediterranean life of peace, all encompassing compassion and mild weather" can hold on in the climate of power, privatized economy and ideological oppression. "Dedemin Insanlari" is a remarkable film. It presents a welcome warm family drama accompanied by a challenging, socio-political idealism that will push the general Turkish audiences to look at their past and future consciences. When Ozan, later a grown man, visits his grandfather's old house in Crete, director Irmak suggests that perhaps we can once again find our humanity and acceptance through our Greek neighbors. For, aren't we all the children of the Mediterranean basin? (Daily Zaman) |
