Cold of Kalandar
Directed by Mustafa Kara
Produced by Eurimages, KARAFILM
A contemplative rural drama about a man's struggle between personal ambition and family bonds, set against the harsh beauty of mountain life.
Mehmet is a man living with his family in a mountain village in the Black Sea region. He earns his living by breeding a few animals, while passionately looking for a mineral reserve on the mountains, but his pursuit is seen useless by his family. Devastated by vain efforts, his hope is renewed with a competition. Mehmet will attend the bull fight held in Artvin, but he returns from Artvin completely lost, once again. This simple story pictures the naive portrait of a touching life, a life struggle in hardship and the relationship between nature, animals and human beings.
