Come on Bre (Hayde Bre) (translated)
Hayde Bre is a 2010 Turkish drama film directed by Orhan Oğuz, about a man from the countryside who cannot adjust to life in Istanbul. Şaban Ağa (Şevket Emrulla), who lives with his wife and friends in a small Macedonian village, crosses paths with his stepdaughter Saadet (Nilüfer Açıkalın), who cares for her three children and paralyzed husband in Istanbul. Persuaded by Saadet, Şaban Ağa reluctantly moves to the city, but he never manages to settle in and continues to feel like a mere guest, while the homeland he longs for has already slipped away.
Oğuz spent twenty years developing this project, inspired by the story of his step-grandfather, and the search for the right leading actor alone took ten years before Macedonian actor Şevket Emrulla was cast. The film premiered in competition at the 47th Antalya Golden Orange International Film Festival and went on nationwide release across Turkey on December 31, 2010; at the 2011 Shanghai International Film Festival it won Best Film, with Emrulla receiving the Best Actor award.
