Dark and bitter truth in the religious dormitories and institutions in Turkey

The film portrays the journey of Ahmet whilst studying in the private middle school. Ahmet studies in the private school where there is a secular educational system. On the other hand, he stays in a religious dormitory in which the dormitory is financially supported by his father. Ahmet's father is a businessman and member of a sect. He is devoted to the principles of the sect and anticipates his son 'Ahmet' to adopt these dogmatic views and ideas by psychological coercion such as forcing his son in the dormitory after school. (Btw, the school is not a boarding school) However, Ahmet's mother is protective and notices that her child is unhappy and starts to suffer mentally from the rigid rules and expectations in the religious dormitory. From this perspective, the film has a similarity with Joel Edgerton's film 'Boy Erased'. The film switches from black and white to colorful representing a positive change in the last half an hour. ( Ahmet's voyage with Hakan - the escaping scene from the dormitory with the car to find a treasure) The film final is quite sad because the protagonist had to face with the harsh reality. Overall, the film speaks the truth about how young kids are manipulated and abused on Sects in Turkey.

A Child's Journey Between Kemalism and Islam

I found this film to be exceptionally well-made. From the actors to the scenes, everything evoked a sense of nostalgia. The realism was top-notch. In my opinion, it beautifully portrayed the struggles of a child torn between Kemalism and Islam. It captured the essence of being caught in the middle, feeling trapped, with remarkable accuracy. These aspects were all very valuable. I was particularly struck by the line, "Who is greater, Allah or Atatürk?" I believe it was a significant statement.

Moreover, the film sheds light on the intense impact of religion and nationalism on children in Turkey, often unnoticed by society. This depiction of children feeling trapped between these powerful forces makes it a crucial piece of work. I hope it reaches a wide audience and that everyone has the chance to see it.
