Blue Bicycle

Ali is thirteen. He lives with his mother and his sister. After school he works at a tyre shop. He hands his weekly wage over at home. The tips he keeps aside. What he is saving for is a blue bicycle. His father died while working at the farm outside town. The body was found beside the railway line. The only witness was Salim, who runs the farm. An election for school president is held. Elif wins it. But the head teacher puts Hasan in her place. Hasan is Salim’s grandson. Ali counts this as an injustice. With his friend Yusuf he stands against it. The bicycle money is drawn into the fight. The film was shown at the Berlin festival. Selim Kaya and Eray Kılıçarslan appear in the ninety four minute film, a Turkish production Ümit Köreken finished in 2016.
