The Father
1971 · Movie · 96 min. · Turkey
In Istambul, a father (Yilmaz Guney) who is not able to earn enough money to feed his family is waiting to emigrate to Germany. When his landlord's son kills a man while drunk, the father is prepared to answer for the deed himself, provided that the landlord supports his wife and children. As there is little difference for the father between ten years in prison or ten years in a foreign country, he regards this to be the best solution.
