Digestible message and hamam hilarity.

Protagonist Kahraman runs a Turkish bath in the little town of Tokat, alongside a number of supporting characters in the form of a gross barber aiding in the plot to bring down the business, a circumciser, a funny Imam, and a pretty history teacher.

It's some entertaining commentary on the big guys trying to by out the little guy's real estate for unnecessary plans of a shopping center, his fight for his livelihood, etc.

While generally a family-friendly story, the subtitles had a little something crude added for Western audience, clearly. Apart from that, excellent music, great shots of Turkish tea and all the cultural delights that makes these movies a treat for me.

I learned a couple new Turkish words for "dick" and I will forever dream of having a big party inside a Turkish bath one day. Give this one a shot!
