İstanbul'u Satıyorum

İstanbul'u Satıyorum

1988 · Comedy

Istanbul, the darling of the world, is being sold before everyone's eyes. They are selling Istanbul together with the contractors, giving away one Istanbul for free for every Istanbul purchased. They are even selling its history. When Mimar Sinan comes to visit one day, he cannot find my beloved Istanbul in its place. He expresses his grievances about the mosques and houses he built being lost among the buildings, but to no avail—those who listen are still selling Istanbul. They are turning Taksim Park into a 50-story parking lot, Gülhane Park into a 30-story skyscraper, cemeteries into shopping centers, and waterfront mansions into 20-story apartment buildings, and they continue to sell Istanbul.

This Canadian made comedy/drama, set in Hamilton, Ontario in 1954, is a sweet and - at times - goofy story that becomes increasingly poignant as the minutes tick by. It's the fictional tale of a wayward 9th grader, Ralph (Adam Butcher), who is secretly living on his own while his widowed, hospitalized mother remains immersed in a coma. Frequently in trouble with Father Fitzpatrick (Gordon Pinsent), the principal of his all-boys, Catholic school, Ralph is considered something of a joke among peers until he decides to pull off a miracle that could save his mother, i.e., winning the Boston Marathon. Coached by a younger priest and former runner, Father Hibbert (Campbell Scott), whose cynicism has been lifted by the boy's pure hope, Ralph applies himself to his unlikely mission, fending off naysayers and getting help along a very challenging path from sundry allies and friends.
