Another Turkish movie which narrates the life of people in a small town back in the early 70's. Everyone seemed to live a simple life until the moment the first television set arrived from Ankara for the villagers. Hence the title "vizontele" which I think means "television" in English. The mayor, with the help with the strange but genius person, tried very hard to install the transmitter and to get the television set working so that people could enjoy the technology. It was successful eventually, people were happy that they could get the latest news live on air but there is a twist in the tale. It all ended in sadness, and the comedic movie turned into somewhat an unexpected tragedy to the mayor's family.
Another surprising brilliant Turkish movie you have to watch. There is a price to pay for the new technology that arrives and perhaps you can relate to what is happening to us now.
I just found out there is another movie which is entitled "Vizontele Tuubaz" which is the sequel to this one. I must now find the continuation of the story after this.
