Plot
The film depicts the struggles of a poor family. A father who repairs shoes works alongside his two sons. The father wants his eldest son, Mehmet, to find another job. Mehmet decides to work as a cotton picker with his wife and children. Ali, the younger son who cannot get along with his father, also begins working with them. The father suggests that they all work together to pool their money and then renovate the shop.
Sinekatalog’s take
A shoe-repairing father and his sons argue over work and pride while trying to pool money for the shop. The family drama is humane and rooted in poverty's pressures. Strong viewing for fans of working-class Turkish stories.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
