TALLINN-ANKARA - Nuri Bilge Ceylan, a prominent Turkish director, was presented with the "Best Director Award" and his film "Climates" was presented with the honorable mention award in the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in Estonia.
The story of the film written by Ceylan himself is as follows: "Man was made to be happy for simple reasons and unhappy for even simpler ones -just as he is born for simple reasons and dies for even simpler ones... Isa and Bahar are two lonely figures dragged through the ever-changing climate of their inner selves in pursuit of a happiness that no longer belongs to them."
Earlier, the film was presented with the awards of best director, best editing, best supporting actress, best sound and best laboratory in the 2006 Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival, and with the FIPRESCI Prize in Competition in the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.
