FARUK FARUK ASLI ÖZGE

Faruk, a man in his 90s, becomes the central character of his daughter’s film about the impending demolition of his block of flats. Simultaneously, Faruk attends building management meetings, hoping to delay the demolition process of the building he has been living in for decades. Gradually reality and fiction intertwine and the line between the two starts to blur. Shot in authentic locations and based on real characters and events, Asli Özge’s new film offers a unique and intimate look at the life of an elderly man in the bustling city of Istanbul exploring not only the implications of gentrification but also the complexities of a father-daughter relationship.

ಫಾರೂಖ್‌ಗೆ ಈಗ 90 ವರ್ಷ ವಯಸ್ಸು. ಅವನು ಇರುವ ಫ್ಲಾಟ್‌ಗಳನ್ನು ನೆಲಸಮ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ ಎಂಬುದು ಅವನ ಆತಂಕ. ನಂತರ ಫಾರೂಖ್‌ ದಶಕಗಳಿಂದ ವಾಸವಾಗಿರುವ ಫ್ಲಾಟ್‌ ಅನ್ನು ಉಳಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಸಲುವಾಗಿ ಕಟ್ಟಡ ನಿರ್ವಹಣಾ ಸಭೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಹಾಜರಾಗುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಕಟ್ಟಡ ಕೆಡವುವ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ವಿಳಂಬ ಮಾಡುವಂತೆ ಬೇಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಕೊನೆಗೆ ಅವನ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ ವಿಫಲವಾಗುವಂತೆ ಕಾಣುತ್ತದೆ. ಅವನ ಆಸೆ ಮಸುಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಇಸ್ತಾಂಬುಲ್‌ನ ನೈಜ ಸ್ಥಳಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಚಿತ್ರೀಕರಿಸಿದ ಈ ಚಿತ್ರ ಜನನಿಬಿಡ ನಗರದಲ್ಲಿ ವೃದ್ಧನ ಜೀವನದ ನಿಕಟ ನೋಟವನ್ನು ತೋರಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಅಲ್ಲದೆ ತಂದೆ ಮಗಳ ಸಂಬಂಧದ ಬಗ್ಗೆಯೂ ವಿಶ್ಲೇಷಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
