Plot

A comedy set in a border village in eastern Turkey after the Second World War, where a border guard post and a customs officer introduce absurd rules that divide the villagers. Sinan Çetin's 1999 film plays with propaganda and the nature of borders, and received a warm response from audiences in Turkey.

Sinekatalog’s take

Sinan Çetin's satirical comedy sets absurd border rules in an eastern Turkish village after the Second World War. Sharp and funny about bureaucracy and borders, it is a lively, often hilarious Turkish satire.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
