A Fairground Attraction: Turkish Drama

This weekend, A Fairground Attraction (Hazan Mevsimi), a drama set in the Turkish countryside, has been released in theaters nationwide in Turkey. It tells the love story of a fairground chanteuse and a layman worker. Director Mehmet Eryilmaz is mostly known with his TV documentaries and A Fairground Attraction is his first fiction feature film. One of his recent works was his brief appearance in Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Climates as the officemate of the main character (played by N. B. Ceylan himself). N. B. Ceylan is credited as the supervisor for A Fairground Attraction. Looking at the trailer it is not hard to tell that this movie stands out of the main stream in Turkish cinema, that draws the crowds to the theatres these days. However, to me it still seems like to have a better chance of making money in the box office than those other author directors' movies; probably because of its storyline set around an impossible love affair. The website of the movie offers information in English, too, including a trailer with subtitles in English. You can find the synopsis taken from the site, below:

This is the bitter and brief story of two desperate lovers, that takes place on a fairground. The story of Cemal, a layman working at the construction site near the fairground, and of Necla, a wandering chanteuse reciting at the tents of any fairground. Both incapable of settling down. Both living life like a rolling stone, wandering where ever the wind may blow. Although it looks like a fun and magnificent way of life, working on the fairground is certainly not what it seems… The film subliminally portrays the decay of the fairgrounds' economic ecosystem, which in turn is the essence of the misery and pain of these two people, who are obsessively in love.
