Beş Vakit
- Drama
In a small, poor village leaning over high rocky mountains, the villagers are simple and diligent people who struggle to cope with a harsh nature. They earn their living off the earth and a few animals they feed. Fathers always prefer one of their sons. Mothers command their daughters ruthlessly. Ömer, the son of the imam, wishes hopelessly for the death of his father. When he understands that wishful thinking does not have any concrete results, he begins to search for childish ways to kill his father. Yakup is in love with his teacher, and one day after seeing his father spying on the teacher he dreams too, like Ömer, of killing his father. Yıldız studies and tries to manage the household chores imposed by her mother. She learns with irritation about the secrets of the relationship between men and women.
Times and Winds is a 2006 Turkish drama film set in a remote mountain village, following three children navigating poverty, family conflict, and coming of age. Directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, the film explores how harsh circumstances and rigid family hierarchies shape young lives in isolation.
