Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Halilhan Sunteriler, would-be entrepreneur, rescues from the scrap heap a red Volvo, which he believes will lead him to big money in business ventures. So he solicits the help of his staunch friend Gogi, the most "cultured"man of the neighborhood, and gradually Halilhan's two younger brothers, Hazmi and Mesut, are also drawn into the project.

With penetrating insights into the poor man's tragicomic hunt for money in the surreal world of commerce, the final confrontation of brothers Halilhan and Hazmi provides the open end for a story of unending struggle.

Synopsis:
