Happy Bayram.
- Happy Bayram. - Same to you.
- Can you make me one with cheese? - I'll hook you up.
- What's the music? - It's Kazim Koyuncu.
- Don't you know him? - No.
- His music is very popular down here. - I've never heard of him.
He was from Artvin. Died of cancer two years ago. He was young. Like you.
All because of Chernobyl. It's only now that's becoming clear.
120, brother.
- And a toast? - Yes.
That makes 130.
YETER'S DEATH
PROLETARIANS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!
- Hello. - Hello.
It's 50 euros for half an hour.
- What's your name? - Jessy.

- Are you Turkish? - Could be.
Now I'm ashamed.
- What is your real name? - Yeter. That's enough.
"Yeter" means "that's enough". I'm the youngest of seven sisters.
- What will you have to drink? - Water. Water.
Where are you from?
Uncle, have you come here to chat or to fuck?
- Don't call me uncle, please. - What shall I call you, then?
"My divine lover?"
- Please call me Ali. - Ali.
- Can you still get it up at your age? - God willing.
Show me.
- Goodbye, my rose! - Take care, brother Ali.
She was speaking Turkish.
Ladies and gentlemen, we will be arriving in Bremen in ten minutes.
We would like to say goodbye and wish you all a good onward journey.
- Hello, dad! - Hello, Nejat.
Sit down. I'm still frying the fish.
- How are you? - Fine.
- And you? - Fine.
- I've brought you a book. - What is it about?
Just read it.
- Are you having some raki? - Please. And you?
Of course.
I've got this Iranian friend, Mahmut. He's given me a tip for the fourth race.
- Which horse? - "Ofliff Sunsine".
- "Ofliff Sunsine"? - Yes.
The fifth horse in the fourth race.
Do you mean "Sunshine of Life"?
- What does that mean? - The sun of life.
It would be nice if the sun of life would shine for us some day.
It's an outsider, dad.
We'll see.
The odds were at least 70 to 1!
100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700.
- There you are. - Thank you.
Come on, I'll treat you to an ice cream, with chocolate.
Who are you screwing at the moment?
- A gentleman doesn't tell. - I didn't know that.
It's impossible to talk to you about anything, anyway.
Take care, dad!
- Read the book, okay? - Yeah, yeah...
Goethe was opposed to revolution. Not on ethical grounds.
Much because it seemed to him to be too uncontrollable.
Two quotes illustrate this. The first:
"Who wants to see a rose bloom in the depths of winter"?
"Only a fool could want this untimely intoxication."
Come now, old man!
- I'm not 14 any more. It takes time. - Then I'll charge you extra.
I'll give you another 50. Just talk, talk!
- Tell me to grab your ass! - Grab my ass. Come, my lion!
I want to ask you something. Are you happy with your job?
- I can't complain. - Look. I live on my own.
I'm a pensioner, and a widower. What's that saying?
- "Only God is entitled to solitude." - Bravo.
I'm looking for a woman to live with. I would pay as much as you earn here.
In return, you only sleep with me. Agreed?
- Have you fallen for me, old man? - You don't have to say anything now.
Here's my cell phone number.
Call me whenever you like.
- Peace be with you. - I don't understand.
We heard you speak Turkish. Are you ashamed of being a Turk?
You're both a Muslim and a Turk. Understood?
- I'm not deaf. - Don't try to be funny.
- You are on a false path. Repent! - Repent!
- I repent. - Don't let me catch you there again.
It would be a shame about you.
Peace be with you.
- Peace be with you. - And peace be with you.
- He made his move too soon. - Go on!
I'm glad that you came. Welcome.
- Will you treat me to a coke? - Of course.
Are you hungry?
When you said you'd pay me what I earn in the brothel...
- Were you being serious? - How much do you earn?
I'm left with 3000 a month. Do you have that much?
- I'll get it. - How?
I get a pension and I have some money on the bank.
I've got some land and property back home.
And I have a son. He's a professor at a German university.
He earns good money. If the worst comes to the worst, he'll help us.
- Where are you from? - Trabzon.
Listen, I won't make any demands.
All I want is for you to live with me, and sleep with me.
- I am hungry after all. - Okay, let's go.
- The soup is delicious. - Please enjoy.
- Where did you learn to cook so well? - I taught myself.
I raised the boy both as a mother and a father.
I'll take care of it.
- You've brought him up well. - Like a girl.
Here you are.
It's fish cakes. You'll love them. Tuck in!
How old were you when your mom died? - He was six months.
- Poor thing. Didn't you re-marry? - I did. A widow with a daughter.
It didn't work out. They're long gone.
I'm a widow too. My husband was shot in Maras in 1978.
- You're from Maras? - Yes.
- More coke? - I'll get it.
Sit yourself down. I'll fetch it.
- Are you really a professor? - Yes.
- I'll fetch the dessert. - I'll do it.
- No, because you're a guest. - Lf I'm going to live here, I'll do it.
- Don't drink so much. - I'm not drinking so much.
You got me drunk deliberately.
Keep your hands off her...
- Are you okay? - Fuck off!
Yeter! Where are you, Yeter?
How did you two meet?
He came to me.
- Where? - He didn't tell you?
I'm a lady of easy virtue.
What does that mean?
A whore. A hooker if you prefer.
Good night.
Nejat?
Dad...
Dad!
Hello. I'm Doctor Özada. Your father had a heart attack.
His condition is critical. He'll be in intensive care overnight.
We'll have to open up an artery. Then we'll keep him for observation.
- Any questions? - Can we see him now?
I'm afraid not. Excitement isn't good for him right now.
Return tomorrow morning.
- Do you have any children? - I have a daughter.
- How old is she? - 27.
Does she know what you do?
She thinks I work in a shoe shop. Occasionally I send her some shoes.
I would do anything for her.
I wanted her to study. To become someone like you.
Getting old is awful. There's no advantages.
Completely pointless!
You'll be released soon. - Yeah, yeah.
Nejat, don't forget to water the tomatoes.
Nejat, the tomatoes are ripe.
- Do you want one? - Just to taste.
Let's bring him some. Surely he'll be happy.
What's wrong?
I miss my daughter.
It's been so long since I heard her voice.
I can't get ahold of her.
Nejat...
Did you fuck her?
I made some börek. Would you like some?
Take it away. I don't want any börek.
Don't look at me like that. The doctor said "no pastry".
Fine, so eat shit.
You won't eat börek, but you smoke. Seriously?
Don't get involved in my life. You have yours and I have mine.
Are you leaving?
Wait!
Take this, for your trip.
Yeter
Make me a raki.
We'll shortly arrive in Hamburg. Connection...
Did you fuck him?
I asked you a question.
- You're drunk. - No I'm not.
Don't touch me!
Stop that!
I paid you, and now I will fuck you.
- You don't own me. - Yes, I do.
- Come on, give me a blowjob. - Shove your money up your ass.
Where are you going?
- Where are you going? - I'll go wherever I please.
- You're not going anywhere. - I'll say it again.
I'll go wherever I want. I know your type.
Yeter...
Yeter!
To your right again.
And stop.
Step inside here.
- It's so small. - I'm afraid so.
Go on, enter.
You will be given your personal items later.
We haven't seen Ayten for a long time. She just dissapeared.
- Since when? - A few months now.
That's her.
- Do you have a more recent photo? - No, sorry. Have a look yourself.
Very cute.
- What was she studying? - Economics...
- Medicine... - No, sociology.
- Economics or medicine? - To be honest I don't know.
Enough already.
- Can I have that photo? - Yes, but that's her mother.
Take it.
- Where are you staying, cousin? - In a hotel.
- Stay with me. - It's okay.
- I'm serious. - I'm fine on my own.
- How long will you stay? - As long as it takes to find her.
With 20 million people in Istanbul, you're bound to run in to her.
- Name? - Ayten Öztürk.
- From? - Either Maras or Istanbul.
Kahramanmaras...
One moment please.
- Name? - Ayten Öztürk.
- I meant your name. - Nejat. Nejat Aksu.
- Why are you looking for the girl? - I want to finance her studies.
Why?
Because knowledge and education are human rights.
Well said.
Listen, Nejat.
The streets and our case files are full of kurdish children.
We deal with them every day.
They are illiterate and turn to violence.
Wouldn't you rather help one of them?
- What good will this do? - Perhaps someone will get in touch.
FOR SALE
Shall we have a look inside?
I don't understand books. Especially not those written in German.
I'm off to my workshop. If you need me, give me a call.
See you soon! Bye.
Good afternoon.
And to you.
- Is this your bookshop? - Yes.
- Do you like it? - Yes, quite a lot.
- I'm glad. I'm Markus Obermüller. - Nejat Aksu.
- Would you like some tea? Or coffee? - Tea will do.
Çengiz, serve us some tea. - Please have a seat.
How come you're selling? - Well, you see...
I've been here for ten years. All of a sudden I miss Germany.
Despite that I'm surrounded by all this German litterature. It's like...
It's like a museum here. Extinct. Like latin.
And I've been feeling... Homesick.
I understand. How much do you want for the shop?
- What was your name again? - Nejat Aksu.
- What is your occupation? - Professor of german, in Germany.
- That would be funny, if... If a turkish professor in germany-
would end up in a german bookshop in Turkey. It fits!
Yes, maybe so.
So you're staying in Turkey for the time being?
- Yes. - And your work?
Perhaps teaching isn't really my call.
And your father?
A murderer is not my father.

You know that it's illegal.
Would you be kind enough to make her bed?
Lebensmittel is something very german. It started in the 1300's and...
I don't know how to say it in english but it's something very german.

No, no, it's "backen". I'll show you.
