Babamın Bağlaması

Twenty-five years after he left, Heves Ali once knocked on his son Yusuf's door at midnight, and Yusuf drove him to the minstrels' festival, a three-day trip that left him with questions for a lifetime. Now Yusuf takes to the long, snowy roads again, to carry on his head the father who carried him all his life: the old suitcase is in the boot, the three-stringed bağlama on the front seat and the coffin on the roof rack. Heading back to his father's land, his home and himself, Yusuf faces the secrets of the past, the uncertainty of the future and what is left of his father's passion, and hears a new song of love, parting, death and loneliness.
