The Wild Pear Tree
8.0
“All these small-minded, bigoted people like peas in a pod.”
Fresh out of university, a Turkish young man with literary aspirations returns to his home village and starts scraping together money to publish his book. While trying to reconnect with his old friends and environment; his uncertainty, existential struggle and his father’s gambling addiction bring him grave difficulties.
