Mom, I brought you something...
I brought meatballs in yogurt sauce for you.
Come in.
Everything going well?
Yes. I'm finishing my dissertation
when I have time.
And your mother?
She just got out of the hospital.
And Murat? How is he?
Fine. He's sleeping right now.
- Alonso's with the Red Bull team. - Yeah?
Get me out of here!
Mom!
Come here!
What are you doing? Where are you going?
Blue, falcon, tulip.
Very good. Remember those words, I'm going to ask for them again.
Can you count down from one hundred subtracting seven at a time?
Can you count down from there subtracting seven at a time?
What were the three words from before?
- Blue. - What else?
God! What other disasters will befall us?
When will they let her out?
I don't know who to deal with first, Murat or mom.
Very good. Now try to whistle.
Does it feels the same on one side,
as it does on the other side?
Does it feel the same
on both sides when I touch you?
Very good!
Now try to pull your arm towards you. Very good.
Only I take responsibility?
Now you take care of mom. I have to look for my son.
I don't have a regular schedule, you know.
Fine. So it's my fault for having a regular schedule.
Your mother is suffering from Alzheimer's Disease.
The illness is in an advanced stage.
You have to expect all sorts of difficulties.
For example, your mother will no longer
be able to perform many of her daily activities.
Possibly she won't be able to wash herself
or go to the toilet alone,
or even dress herself.
You have to help her and teach her routines
over and over again.
She should never be alone. She lives with whom?
With me.
She may have some nervous spells and act very irritably.
You will have to calm her
and stay calm yourself at those times,
because just the illness is to blame, not her.
Do you have any questions?
You can call me if there is any problem.
Thank you.
Mom, calm down, please.
You're going to fall down!
Mom, calm down!
Please, calm down.
Please, let me do it.
Is the water too hot?
It's hot!
Please, mom!
Look, mom, this is the toilet.
If you have to pee or shit, you do it here.
You sit here like this. Don't do it on the carpet, okay?
- Mom, pee and shit. - This isn't working.
How else can I explain it?
Mom, here is the toilet, don't do it on the carpet.
Nesrin, don't push her. Let's put her in a hospital.
They'll say we didn't take care of our mother!
- Who's going to say that? - What?
I can't explain it to her?
You're exaggerating.
Enough!
- I'm going home! - That's out of the question.
I'm going home.
Tonight?
After work?
Let me think.
Okay.
Let's meet in front of the newspaper.
Bye. Kiss.
Take us to Galata, please.
This way, mom.
You stay here tonight. I'll pick you up tomorrow.
Mom, please!
Fine, we'll wash your hands inside.
Murat! What are you doing here?
None of your business.
Your mom is looking for you. Why haven't you called her?
Who is this?
Your grandmother.
Mom, look. This is your grandson, Murat.
- She's staying here tonight. - How come?
I've lots to do at work.
Let her stay tonight. I'll come get her tomorrow.
- Where's Mehmet? - He should be here soon.
- When does he get home? - Do I know?
Mom, Mehmet will be here soon. I'll come and get you tomorrow. OK?
- What should I do? - Here's her stuff.
I'll give you some money.
150. Is that enough?
Give her these pills.
One in the evening, and one in the morning, after meals.
And one of these, too, every three hours. Don't forget.
- What's wrong with her? - Alzheimer's.
- What's that?
She forgets everything except the past.
Keep an eye on her.
Tomorrow I'll be back and you go home, agreed?
- I'm talking to you! - Yes, go.
See you tomorrow, mom.
Grandma,
let's go inside.
Where's my mountain?
Güzin? I couldn't find you at home. Where are you?
Don't worry. We're on our way.
What? Where did you go?
I had to stop by the paper. Don't worry, we're going home.
Why did you take mom? Is she all right?
Stop worrying, Nesrin. She's fine.
Call me when you get home.
Okay, I'll call you.
- How are you, darling? - Fine and you?
- I got rid of my mother. - What's she doing here?
Since when do you care?
What do you mean? Let's go to your place.
I don't want to. Let's go talk somewhere.
I don't have a lot of time.
You won't stay overnight? Can't we ever wake up together?
Güzin, please. I have so much work.
- That's enough! - Why so upset?
I work too, but I make time for you.
I make time for you too!
I don't want your time! Stop the car!
What a damn callous world!
What a fucking senseless life!
Will grandma get mad if we smoke pot?
No, she's cool.
Does she know what it is?
She's been using tatula plant for ages.
- What's that? - You don't know?
No, what is it?
They collect tatula in the mountains.
They boil it then drink it.
To get high?
Stoned. But they fool us saying it cures asthma.
Roll the joint, you'll see.
The smell will get her excited.
- I'm going to light up, then. - Go right ahead.
You see how she likes it?
What's your name?
Murat, grandma.
Grandma?
Are you one of mine?
Yes, mom.
It was you that named him, after my father!
Murat.
I should go now. The road will get blocked.
Where are you going, mom?
Where, grandma?
The roads will be blocked. It will snow!
No, it's not the season for that.
Don't worry, I'll take you tomorrow.
Okay?
Stay, Grandma.
That's right, mom. Relax.
She must be remembering my father's death. Goddamn.
How did grandpa die?
In the mountains.
No, not in the mountains.
He abandoned you.
He always did whatever he wanted.
Like you.
I never abandoned anybody, mom.
Whether you've abandoned me or yourself,
it's the same thing to me.
Come on!
Grandma, wait!
No, the other one.
Wait.
What's your name?
Murat, grandma.
What are you doing?
I have to pee.
Okay, but not here.
Over there, maybe.
No, grandma, come on.
Don't you have a family?
No.
Who brought me here?
Your children.
Who?
My mom, my aunt, my uncle.
I don't remember anything.
Well, don't remember.
It's better that way.
Kidnap me. Take me to my village.
Güzin?
Güzin? What's the matter?
Come on, say something! Are you okay?
Come on, get up! Tell me what's wrong!
Güzin? What's the matter?
Did something happen to mom?! Where is she?
Tell me!
I left her with Murat.
With Murat?
Where did you see him?
At Mehmet's place.
What? Why didn't you tell me?
Enough! Stop irritating everybody.
Who do I irritate?
- You pester everyone! - I do not!
Enough!
- I'm worried about my son! - Leave me alone!
Come on, Grandma.
Just a few more steps.
What are you doing, man?
And where were you two?
You were snoring when we left this morning.
What is all this?
I'm privatizing my electricity.
Why?
Because they cut mine off today.
So what is this thing?
You like it?
Look.
- Are we going to die? - No, don't worry.
Hold that up, Murat.
- You are nuts. - OK, ready?
Lights!
Damn, that's incredible!
What are you doing there?
What are you up to?
- Mom? What are you doing here? - Why not?
You enjoy making me suffer?
- Why are you here? - Why do this to me?
- What's gotten into you? - How so?
- You want to end up like him? - Hey!
- You bring mom to this place? - Stop!
Just a minute.
Mom is fine here. As if you care.
He's a good boy.
- Don't yell at him. - Mom, you stay out of this.
- Come, we're going home. - What home?
You never ask me what I want to do.
You never asked me even once.
What do you mean? That's your home!
- Not in this dump! - Fuck off!
It's you I don't want to be like.
For once just look what's in your hands.
I always wondered
if you ever really loved me.
Look at you.
You are empty...
as empty as the glass behind you.
The funny thing is, I'm just like you.
Now we are both the same.
Why are you calling me?
There's nothing to apologize for.
Mom?
Don't call me again.
I don't want to see you anymore.
Mom?
Güzin.
Giving birth to you was so hard. You stuck to me.
And now you want everyone to stick to you.
I might as well leave, I'd say.
But who will play with my toys?
And who'll caress my hands and fingers
the way my mommy does five times a day?
I might as well leave, I'd say...
Don't be like me. Open yourself up.
Why did they shut her up in there?
How could they?
That's life, man.
You give in to it sooner or later.
Are you going to leave me too?
Don't worry.
Even if I wanted to, I couldn't.
I wouldn't know how to live without you.
That's even worse.
Let go of Murat.
Grandma, I can't light the fire.
Grandma!
How can I light the wood? It's all wet.
Come and help me!
How do I get it to start?
What to do?
Standing here?
What should I do now?
Never mind, grandma.
Go back and lie down.
Uhff. Grandma.
Grandma,
what are you doing here?
They told me to walk.
Who?
Who said that, Grandma?
Never mind. Now they're telling you to sit down.
Let me go to my mountain.
Or else I'll forget that too.
