Synopsis

Small village life in 1974 Turkey doesn't provide too many distractions. The biggest local entertainment comes from the nightly open-air cinema run by shady businessman Latif. Latif is on anything but good terms with the town's good-hearted mayor, Nazmi. So when Nazmi hears of a new invention, the 'vision-tele', that may make cinema obsolete, he shows a strong interest.
