Honey

Turkish film fest

Yusof's dad, Josef, is a honey collector. He goes out in the morning to collect honey from hives high up in the trees. Due to shortage of production, he goes to another place to collect. The scene begins with him trying to climb up to the branch but it gave way and he dies.

We only know about this later.

Yusof's jealous that his dad made a ship for his classmate but not for him. He has a nightmare and whispers it to his dad. An eagle guides him to school. He is never able to read and stammers. He covets the reward - a red pin which all this classmates have received except him.

The eagle guides his dad to search for better honey. They long and yearn for his return but he never did. They look for the eagle but it never came back either.

Yusof hears the eagle cry on the day of his dad's death. He runs into the first to look for his dad and falls asleep in there. It is also the same day he got the reward for reading.
