Cabbar is a horse cab driver who has to take care of his elderly mother, his wife and their five children. They live in poverty in a slum and Cabbar is indebted to almost everyone. Cabbar buys lottery tickets consistently, as this is his only hope. One of Cabbar's two horses dies in a car accident. Cabbar moves heaven and earth to buy a new horse, and he also sells some furniture from his house in order to put some money together. Meanwhile, his creditors sell Cabbar's cab and the other horse. A carrier, Hasan, forces Cabbar to look for a treasure and a preacher convinces him to do so. Cabbar begins to look for a buried treasure. His indefatigable hope is gradually replaced by a dance of hopelessness. (Venice International Film Festival)

Eine sehr schön, dezent und verständlich (eine 16-mm-Kamera) erzählte Geschichte eines Vaters einer armen türkischen Familie, die immer tiefer in eine extreme Armut fällt. Ich war sehr überrascht, dass die Familienprobleme der Türken ähnlich wie die Familienprobleme in Mitteleuropa aussehen. Und damit meine ich nicht die Insolvenz, sondern die Beziehungen Ehemann – Ehefrau – Kinder. Egal, ob sie in einem Diamantschloss oder in einer Papierhütte leben.
