Bal

Film: Bal

Director:Semih Keplanogla

Country: Turkey

The film is all about little Yusuf who is born and brought up In an remote mountain region. His father Yakob was an honey gatherer. Yusuf always wish to follow his father in to the forest. He likes the scene of honey gathering. In holidays father allow Yusuf to follow. Being a small child, he helps his father a lot .

He is very studious and pleasant in class room. But his school life was not very pleasant with his stumble. The most touching scene in the movie was the rewarded scene of Yusuf. Being a stumble and stammer, he was awarded and esteemed by the teacher. It creates a great sense of children’s nature. The happy family life went wrong when Yakob left for another forest and did not return. Yusuf and his mother zehra were depressed and the little Yusuf decides to go in search of his father lonely.

I like the movie very much. Because of the storyline and its narrative style. The all story happens in a forest. And the location was almost fits for the story.
