ASPIRING WRITER Sinan returns home from college to find that his father's gambling addiction has brought the family to the brink of financial ruin.
Caught between his literary ambitions and loyalty to his family, he must make decisions that will affect his life permanently. This is Turkish film The Wild Pear Tree, which the Galway Film Society will screen in the Pálás Cinema this Sunday and Monday at 6.30pm.
Directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Winter Sleep ), The Guardian called it "gentle, humane, beautifully made and magnificently acted...an unhurried, elegiac address to the idea of childhood and your home town – and how returning to both has a bittersweet savour”.
