Description
Summary:	Kasaba: This Turkish family drama is structured around vignettes of seasonal changes. Winter: Turkish life is seen from the perspective of a young schoolteacher. Spring: Students experience the world of nature as they walk home from school. Summer: The children join their parents in a family gathering around an outdoor fire on a summer night. Fall: In a symbolic sequence the youngsters find their roles in society. Clouds of May: Filmmaker Muzaffer returns to his hometown on the Anatolian plain to shoot a movie featuring his family. His father Emin proves to be less interested in his son's project than in buying land from an adjacent lot. Muzaffer, who is helped out by his young nephew Ali, makes a deal with the boy: if he can keep a hen's egg unbroken in his pocket for 40 days, he will win a musical watch. As Ali struggles to care for the egg, Muzaffer works to keep his vision for the film intact.
