Synopsis: 

A dream, a poetry… One man is in a journey, travels alone with his car in a place away from the big cities, but suddenly he stops his car; then starts walking to the fields at the roadside and an inner journey into his mother begins with a poem which recited to us, but this journey will take us to the places that never expected.

Information for the Audience: 

In cinema,  something that permanently happens in a good way from the beginning to the end bothers me quiet enough. Because, everything goes well in a beautiful manner in a film is contrary to the reality of life. The cinema is definitely interested in human life and some difficulties may be experienced through living. Briefly, i hate the conditions are beatitude in all parts of the film. I have a opinion that there is something seems more honestly in a film, when bad situations occurs as i said above. In real life humans can not be beatitude, also should not be. Therefore, happiness is slightly felt in my films just like a real life and also pain, hope and other feelings are given like this to make audience believe. Besides the making audience believe to my story, i would like to choose a narrative technique to tell it in surreal way like recite a poem or yarn a tale. For instance, in the short “Waiting for the Time” i think that it was exactly realized as the technique i wanted. In fact, real life and fairytales has exactly different genesis, but inner of human beings may have inaccessiable dreams are wanted to be real besides the happened. In my opinion, something should happens like our dreams to complete the missing parts of real life in cinema. As a result, i am pleased with telling something that has been experienced in real life within tasting the flavour of a fairy tale. I can do it in a best way. I am glad to be a part of my fairy tale.
