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)

Le récit de cette histoire d'une famille turque pauvre, plongeant de plus en plus profondément dans une pauvreté extrême, est raconté de manière très belle, décente et compréhensible avec une langue cinematographique (caméra 16mm). J'ai été très surpris de constater que les problèmes familiaux des Turcs sont identiques à ceux des Slovaques. Et je ne parle pas de l'insolvabilité, mais des relations entre époux-enfants. Peu importe s'ils vivent dans un palais de diamants ou une cabane en papier.
