Blue Dark

"- Once upon a time, said Özgür, in a country, if there is no tolerance, if the fear of thought and thinking is spread, there will be no parliament, no freedom, no democracy?.. 'Either we will silence it completely; or "We're going to make you vomit blood," the man screams. I mean, don't you think like him? He's imposing bans, he's going to kill you... And then what freedom is there if he can walk around with his hands free? He doesn't even wave his hands, he's waving bombs, he's brandishing knives, he's shooting bullets... In fact, there is no greater crime than shouting slogans, if it is called democracy...'

Nergis and Korhan are in the axis of Özgür, those who escaped from the chaos in the country and took refuge in the blue of the sea... They are not the only ones surrounded by intellectuals like themselves and the blue is more than a shelter. There are also the new bourgeoisie of the country, the local people, who are not free from darkness like the rest of the "blue" country, which is their shelter. They soon learn this by experiencing it, and most of all, Nergis learns what it means to be a woman and an intellectual. There is a war of changing one's skin within the contradictions of the class.

'- I can't look at the newspapers, I feel dark... Murder, killing, fighting... It's on the radio, it's it on the television... The whole society has gone crazy. What a difficult task it is to cure a madman... Who can cope with a crowd of madmen, and a crowd of madmen exasperating each other? Finally they let him into this garden... If I didn't like Özgür, you know... Well... One wonders what the hell he will do...'
