我的祖父

　　Ozan is a ten-year old boy living in a small coastal town on the Aegean. His friends make fun of him, calling him an “infidel” because his grandfather Mehmet is an immigrant from Crete. Ozan is afraid of being left alone. He gets angry at his family, especially his grandfather, and he stubbornly challenges his family saying “We are Turks”.


　　Mehmet Bey, Ozan’s grandfather, is a respected shopkeeper in the community. He takes the people of the town under his wings, and helps them with their problems. Mehmet Bey is known for his tolerance and his grandson’s attitude not only has him worried but grieves him as well.


　　Mehmet Bey and his family were torn from their land and forced to migrate from Crete during the population exchange when he was just seven years old. Mehmet Bey’s greatest desire is to see the land of his birth before he dies. It is this longing that makes him frequently drop bottles containing letters into the turquoise waters of the Aegean.


　　DEDEMİN İNSANLARI describes the spectacular transformation of a family and their country through the eyes of a ten-year old child and his grandfather living in a small town.


　　As you watch this story about the people in the crowded and warm Aegean, you will once again experience the population exchange, what it means to be the “other”, the ability to belong anywhere no matter where you go, insurrections, numerous minorities, and both sides of the Aegean, but this time from a fresh perspective.


　　The shooting of the film took place in Crete, Gökçeada, Milas, Bodrum and Söke.

对于片子的历史很难感同身受 小演员很可爱就是了

时代造就的悲剧。乐观，总是传播正能量的老头，最后却选择了自杀

比拿震耳欲聋的音乐和夸张演技煽情的《我的父亲，我的儿子》不知道好多少倍。加入移民和历史成分之后更像是土耳其风情长卷画，叙事上不像前者那么拖拉，男孩的成长过程也相对完整。

相比【我的父亲，我的儿子】，这部续篇同样掺杂着导演的家族回忆，同样很温情，却更乐观。移民们的身份认同问题和寻根情结，儿童视角让往事、故乡和古人都变成更加美好了，一些情节不用说透，一些人物变得神秘，即使祖父在孩子心里高大全了又怎么样呢，记忆总可以给苦难的现实平添些许美好。★★★★
