Eskici ve Oğulları

About This Movie

'Eskici ve Oğulları' is quite a reflective piece on family dynamics and the weight of expectations. The father, a shoemaker, embodies a sense of nostalgia and struggle, trying to keep his family afloat, while his sons navigate their own paths. Mehmet's choice to become a cotton picker with his family brings in this rawness, a disconnect from his father's world, and you can almost feel that tension.
