Elinize emeğinize sağlık cok guzel olmus hakikaten kayıp cevher ismi tam oturmuş 🥰
Toplum olarak bizim sorumsuzluğumuzu kendileri için yaşam olarak çaresizce öğrenip, kabul edip, mutlu olmaya mecbur olduğu için mutlu olan insanlar var.. Görüyoruz, ama görmemezlikten geliyoruz. Ve buz hala mutlu olamıyoruz..
Elinize yüreğinize sağlık. Gerçek bir kayıba dikkat çekmişsiniz.
Millet olarak benzer kayıplarımızı üst üste koysak milletimizin başı arşa değerdi.
Çok güzel bir çalışma olmuş. Elinize sağlık.
emeginize sağlık, küçük seylerle mutlu olmayi herkesin ogrenmesi dilegiyle…
Çok dokunaklı ve sarsıcı bir hikâye, emeği geçen herkesin ellerine, emeklerine sağlık 👏
Tebrikler daha nice güzel işlere
From the first moment, as a viewer, you really get a sense of who this man is. As the film goes on, you gain a more comprehensive understanding of the hopes and dreams he had as a young man, making the film more wistful. I think a little may have been lost in translation, but the notion of a man finding meaning in the little things is something to be admired, and has been captured beautifully by the filmmakers.
