Ah nerede which was shot in the time mostly referred as the golden age of the turkish cinema is one of the best romantic comedies in turkish cinema history. Although having kind of a cliche theme the good acting and the strong script are the reason why everyone still loves this movie and watch it when they see it on tv after 30 years. The characteristic of the father in this movie is very common in most turkish films and of course most of the turkish families. A rich country-man who wants his children to be well educated and lets them leave to istanbul for a good university education. Main characters of this film are of course the children who came to İstanbul for education Ferit, Murat and Ömer. They all say to their father that they have a successful school life but things are a bit different. Ferit the eldest brother is one of the classic casanova characters that we used to see in a lot of movies, instead of going to school he spends his time and money chasing girls. Murat wastes his time in cafes gambling and youngest brother Ömer spends his time going to political meetings and protesting goverment. the Father is a strict man who wants his children to listen his word and when it turns out none of the children are really successful in their schools he calls them back to country and make them work in the fields so they can learn how tough life can be if they won’t finish their schools. the Mother loves their children a lot and does not push them to do anything and the father blames her a lot for spoiling them. She even send money to the children secretly when they ran from the country house eventhough the father was not talking to them. In the end children realise that their father had a point and they become sucessful students also the father who is a tough but loving one forgives his children.
