Iki Dil Bir Bavul
On the Way to School
On the Way to School is a film about a Turkish teacher who serves as the state‘s lonely authority in a remote village, and about his interaction with the Kurdish children who have to learn Turkish. The film witnesses the communication problem emphasizing the loneliness of a teacher in a different community and culture; and the changes brought up by his presence into this different community over the course of one year. It is the chronicle of one school year, starting from September 2007 until the departure of the teacher for summer holiday in June 2008. During this period, they begin to know and understand each other, mutually and slowly.
