Turkish comedy-drama film “ Heartsong ” is quite an unusual watch from the perspective of the artistic and indigenous donations it brings to the fore while telling a typical love story. Set in the pastoral geographies of Turkey and about a small vagabond agreement, the film basically tells the tale of a man from a socially lower family falling in love with a woman from an influential ménage. The promoter and his cohorts all being vagabond musicians by profession, and the film itself resembles characteristics of a musical at points, ‘ Heartsong ’ puts an important emphasis on its music, and it's indeed the music that binds it each together.
‘ Heartsong ’ Plot Summary What Is The Film About?
The film begins with a written preface for the people we're about to see, the Doms, or vagabond musician groups, who travel from place to place with the stopgap of touching people’s hearts with their music. Piroz and his elder family Hogir are two similar musicians who live in a small agreement of wanderers, and both work as musicians, descanting at vill marriages and other occasions. One day right before such a marriage, the two sisters get word that their father, Mirze, has run off on his steed-drawn wain formerly again. By now, the two are tired of their father’s conduct, as Mirze desperately wants to unite with his nut, Dilo, just days after his woman
has failed. Hogir and Piroz intercept Mirze in time and bring him back to their vill, where they tie him down to stop him from running down again. While the sons tell their father that it doesn't look good that he's running to marry only many days after his first woman
has failed, the real verity is that Dilo is dead, and Mirze is delusional that she's still living. That evening, Piroz, Hogir, and the elder family’s youthful son go to the near vill for the marriage they're supposed to play at. As Piroz walks around the house by himself, he suddenly stumbles upon the bridegroom-to-be, Sumbul, who sings a catchy tune veritably well known to Piroz. The man sings back the coming tune in harmony, and Sumbul follows up; the two continue this and incontinently fall in love with each other. Sumbul is soon presented to her bachelor, and the woman asks him to sing the same tune, but when the man sings terribly, she laughs at him and calls him a jackass. The bachelor formerly feels disrespected by this, but matters turn much worse soon when the bridegroom and bachelor are brought out into the open to start their marriage form. Sumbul, still enchanted by her short, sweet moments harmonizing with Piroz, starts to walk towards the musician who sits in one corner and serenades along with his family and whoreson. Someone from the bachelor’s family calls Sumbul crazy, and the bridegroom’s family members incontinently respond with violence. As the two families fight ferociously among each other, Sumbul and Piroz hypercritically walk toward each other, before the musician is also hit by flying punches, and he falls to the ground.
On a coming day, as Piroz learns that the marriage has been canceled and the bachelor has returned the bridegroom to her father, as is the custom in the place, the man excitedly sets about his coming plan of action. Rushing to his family and father, Piroz tells them that he wants to marry Sumbul, and the family readily agrees. Together, they all go over to the villa to formally propose the marriage to Sumbul’s father, Seymen. still, Seymen, who belongs to a more advanced social class than the wanderers, feels terribly disrespected by such a proposition and drives down Piroz and his family with beatings. As Piroz pines to unite with his nut, his father Mirze also longs to be with his nut Dilo, whom he formerly couldn't marry due to analogous social pressures.
How Does Piroz Rescue Sumbul And Marry Her?
When Piroz asks his father about what to do next, Mirze unabashedly tells his son that he should pursue his nut since he's so confident about his love for her and also hers for him. Mirze suggests that his son shouldn't make the same mistake that he'd made in his life when he'd gotten wedded to someone he didn't love. Piroz follows suit and goes over to Sumbul’s vill, where the woman’s cruel father and sisters have decided to discipline her for bringing similar shame upon their family. They tie Sumbul to a pole in their barn and leave her alone there, also planning to kill her soon. Piroz tracks his nut down by singing the same tune, to which Sumbul sings back, and the two now have their first discussion with words as the man finds a hole on the barn’s roof and loves his nut. When the sisters come to kill Sumbul, Piroz pulls the strings on his swindle to make it sound spooky, and Sumbul reluctantly plays along to act held when the whole vill comes to check it out. The woman’s family is now induced that their barn is visited and that an imam( religious dominie) needs to be called to free Sumbul of the spirits. They go looking for the original exorcist, Kalender, who happens to be from the same agreement as Piroz and also a close friend of his family. Piroz goes over to Kalender first and asks him for his help, to which the man readily agrees and tells him of a plan. Next, Kalender goes over to Seymen’s house and enters the barn alone, asking others to stay and supplicate from the outside. Then, he pretends to sing chants to drive down the spirits of Sumbul but rather tells the woman to drink a potion from a bottle that he hands her. This potion makes Sumbul unconscious for long hours, which makes her family suppose that she has committed self-murder. Seymen and his sons happily dispose of her body in the graveyard, where Piroz goes hunting for her at the end of the day. The woman hadn't failed and had now come back to her senses, and this had indeed been Kalender’s plan each on. formerly again reunited by the tune, Piroz and Sumbul now happily travel towards Piroz’s agreement, where they intend to stay from now on.
Although Kalender and Mirze are veritably welcoming of Sumbul, Hogir has his dubieties at first as to whether to let the woman stay in their small community. These dubieties are obviously because of the fear of what Seymen and his sons, who are nearly like vill lords, would do if and when they set up out that Sumbul was staying with the vagrant wanderers. Mirze casts down similar dubieties and influences Hogir to support Piroz’s love, and the family also agrees to let them stay. A marriage form is conducted for them, and the two suckers start to live their days in happiness. But effects start to go wrong when one day, a man from the neighboring vill comes to Hogir to get tooth relief, as Hogir also works as a quack dentist. The man spots Sumbul and grows suspicious as he feels he has seen her nearly before. Returning to his vill, he informs Seymen of this, and together they go over to the graveyard to find Sumbul’s grave empty. Realizing what has happed, Seymen and his sons prepare to ride over to the vagabond agreement in order to discipline the son as well as the gadabouts who had dared to house her. important like the upper class nearly far and wide, they would rather prefer their son to be dead and buried than happily be in love with someone from the lower social class.
As important as “ Heartsong ” tells the story of Piroz, it's also inversely about the failed love of Mirze and Dilo, who unfortunately could noway unite during their continuance. maybe Mirze indeed knows that his cherished is dead, but he doesn't want to believe it and still pines for his nut. unfit to control the man’s frequent escapes from their agreement, Hogir consults Kalender for help, who also comes up with an idea to keep Mirze detracted. He makes a life-sized doll out of straw and sews eyes and a face into it, and the doll is also placed in the middle of a small straw shack. Hogir tells Mirze that Dilo has returned to their vill, but with a sickness, because of which Mirze can only look at her from a distance. Neither can Dilo talk to him, nor can he get too close to his nut, which would incontinently kill her. hopeless to express his love in any way, Mirze agrees with the rules and sits at a distance from the shack and addresses and sings to the doll for days. One night, as everyone differently sleeps, Mirze can not hold himself back any longer and goes over to his Dilo, only to realize the ploy that had been played against him. The man is shocked and saddened but also decides to keep believing in the vision. He takes the straw doll along with him, as if it really is his nut, and goes over to the top of the hill where he'd kept dug up two graves side by side, one with Dilo’s name and one with his own. There he lays the doll down, and himself lies down beside it, believing that he and his cherished were passing on to death together. For all this while, the vagabond vill had woken up to find Mirze and the doll missing, and they had also been informed that Seymen and his sons were formerly out on the road looking for the vagabond agreement. Hogir sends his son to the spot of the grave, knowing that his father would presumably be there, and the youthful boy does find Mirze lying there and intervenes in his plan of staying till death. Hearing of the impending peril to his family and musketeers, Mirze returns with Dilo’s doll and now asks everyone differently to pack up their effects and leave before Seymen arrives. Helpless and without any other choice, everyone in the camp is ready to leave, and both Piroz and Sumbul try to move him to move with them. But Mirze stays establishment in his decision, as he wants to give his all to cover his son and his dare to be with someone he loves, the commodity that the man couldn't do in his own life.
‘ Heartsong ’ Ending Explained What Happens To Mirze, Piroz, And Sumbul?
As Piroz and the rest of the vagabond agreement cross a near swash on a big raft, getting down from their last camp position, the unlawful Seymen and his two sons arrive on horseback at the now empty camp. rather of the people they were looking for, they're saluted by Mirze and a straw doll beside him. Seymen understands what has happed and threatens Mirze to expose where his son has gone. But the old man plays his cello and sings a love song in his last and sincere attempt to make Seymen understand the true meaning of love, which knows no boundaries of social difference. Seymen keeps hanging with his gun ready in his hand, but Mirze still sings in the face of a gun refocused at him. Eventually, Seymen shoots the man dead and goes down from the place, and the sound of the projectile reaches Piroz on the raft. He decides that no matter what his fate is, he wants to go back to bury his father, and the others agree to this. They return and carry Mirze’s body to the grave, where they lay him down, and they don't forget the straw doll representing Dilo. Out of respect for the man’s belief, they put the doll in the grave beside Mirze’s and are about to walk down when the mourning Sumbul seems to hear the cello being played from inside the grave. She turns and starts to sing, and is joined by the others too, when they look on with happy unbelief as Mirze and Dilo, in meat and blood, climb out of their graves, singing, and dancing, and together they go down towards the setting sun on the horizon.
It seems the director has put a nearly magic- realist end to “ Heartsong, ” maybe in meter with Dom, or vagabond, culture, and belief. To someone like me, not too apprehensive of this artistic representation, the alluring ending signifies Mirze and Dilo’s eternal love that eventually unites them only after their death. Their union is also enabled by the strong and everlasting union of Piroz and his probative woman, Sumbul. “ Heartsong ” maybe sets out to give us a number of monuments about life and society, but the loudest passion that resonates is that love indeed knows no bounds; it's occasionally as easy-flowing as singing along to the same tune.
