A friend sent me this. It is a short movie by Sinan Cetin who stealthily
relates it to the forbiddance of the Kurdish language and music in Turkey. He
uses a parallel funny incident by the Kemal followers in the 30's. It is called
'Be happy. It's an order' and it takes place in Anatolia in 1934.
I found it to be brilliant, particularly the tsifteteli at the end (a type of song that is also quite popular in Greece). I hope you enjoy it.
