A Piece of Home
Bir Parça Memleket
Synopsis
When you lose everything, can a game save your dreams? The film follows two Afghan brothers: Sir (21), Allahverdi (17) who live in illegal housing together with around twenty other men. Cricket, an unusual sport for Turkey, is the biggest passion of these migrants, where they feel at home and forget all their troubles. The film juxtaposes the daily-life images of those immigrants in an observational style with a cricket match accompanied by an entertaining live commentary. Through the eyes of Afghan refugees in Turkey, we learn how cricket becomes a tool of resistance, while the cricket field becomes a piece of home.
