The movie is based on the inner journey of mu tunc, the director of the movie. Back then, his dream was to become a filmmaker while everyone around him was trying to tell him the opposite. Nowadays, young people are told to go abroad and change the city to get the career they want. But very few people stay in a place they actually hate. I think it is somehting like a ''casey-neistat-mentality'' that you should chose to stay in a place you don't like in order to find the beauty in it. Flowers will always bloom in the darkness. And thats where true creativity lies. However, he criticizes the mentality of people living in big metropoles like Istanbul. Instead of changing their perspectives to the better and being grateful where they are, people are constantly trying to flee from one place to another. Especially in the creative industry people adapt to places like New York, London, Berlin or Paris without even realizing that they lose their uniqueness and talents when living the ''nights of their dreams''. It is a crucial topic because in todays society we are constantly distracted by social media which gives us the image that we need to change our surroundings in order to be ourselves. In contrast, it is us, our own perspective that needs to change. The tile of the movie ''aralik'' explains that we are never settling. We are always striving to find better places, better friends, better jobs and better trips. This way of thinking makes us crazy because we are caught in a feedback loop. We dont stop to have expectations. Especially youngsters when chosing a path of their own.

Mu tunc is not proposing against travelling in general or big city life. He criticizes against chosing the wrong intentions while decisionmaking when going somewhere else. If you're reading this right now and realize that there is something that makes you feel unhappy in your life, doesn't matter if it is a small or big problem, then start to re-think. Don't give the fault to other people or your ''circumstances''. Start by changing your own perspective. START BY YOURSELF. And if you need help, go find help. If you have the need to travel, go travel. But travel safely with the right intention. I'm sure you will find your home. Home is where your heart is. And just a reminder: the world is filled with problems. Every city has its own problems. They will always arise but this doesn't has to do something with the people or the city in general. You'll find it out, wherever you go.

One last tip from me: travel alone.

All in all, I think this movie by mu tunc is a masterpiece. It helped me to chose my path, I don't know how but I think it just came at the right time.

So I had no idea what to watch before I got into this movie as I am also at my 20s. It is about a boy who must decide whether he will take the deal or not, and all the strange but exciting moments he had faced during this time. So literally I could have experience a similar story. You drive into various and old towns, including spirit of the are in the underground youth life of Istanbul. A must see for those who are into Turkish and underground culture. Soundtracks are big PLUS !!! You may have never think those people were existed in a Muslim country, Turkey.

It's amazing that you can smell "punk" from the way it was filmed to dialogues. Also musics are soooo beautiful!

The boy who paint the wall has high potential career.

He acted in moving very amazingly, don't have words. The movie is over all good.

Burak Deniz you are absolutely awesome this movie is worth for watching please give it a try and thank me later.
