Synopsis

Rural and agricultural production in Turkey is gradually diminishing; villages are being vacated or getting smaller. And the last generation living in those villages is growing up with small and casual fantasies. The future of the last children of villages is ambiguous. On the one hand, there are villages, where life is becoming harder and poorer; on the other hand, there are huge, complex cities. Those cities are outlandish and scary for children who have never left their villages. The documentary “A Few Ordinary Days” exhibits a few days of the daily lives of four children living in different parts of Anatolia, burdened with their concerns for the future, their dreams and their questions.
