电影 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.
