"Don't Look Far"

Film was inspired by actual events that took place in Turkey, however characters and the story are fictitious. Film humorously depicts the chain of events as a casino in city center is legally forced to move to a small town. Audience sees the story through the eyes of a 9 year old who questions life, adulthood, the concepts of good and bad. The tragicomic story emerged from crossing worlds of very different people, both saddens and makes one laugh.
