turtles

Tozak village is a poor quilt with a thousand patches left in the corner of this huge earth, as dry as it can be, neglected, forgotten. The people of today are today's peasants: They still hope for help from the state, they say "Our government knows best", they are ignorant, rude, but at the same time hard-working, genuine and conscientious. The village trainer Riza, Headman Battal and the smart crazy Kir Abbas reason day by day, join hands, follow the villagers and establish a bond, all in a stony field, with a lot of effort, dedication and working day and night. Just when their mouths were sweetened with grapes and their hearts were filled with hope, they were slapped by the government when they least expected it... but what a slap! Suddenly, they become a burr in the wheel of bureaucracy. They are looking for justice and justice, but what is the right, what is the law?

Turtles, an original and enlightened work of literature written in a simple but rich language, touching on the problems that have taken place in our past but still exist today, is as much about the creators of the villagers of our country as it is about them. , also tells the story of his helplessness and ignorance in the face of bureaucracy.
