Baba, Ne Yapmayı Düşünüyorsun? / Baba, What's Your Plan? – Cinema Release Austria

Baba, What's Your Plan? (Orig. Baba, Ne Yapmayı Düşünüyorsun?) unfolds as an intimate documentary engagment by a son with his father’s life, and at the same time as a quiet portrait of a migrant biography. As Celal Karaaslan narrates and reminisces, with a handheld camera Tolga Karaaslan accompanies his father on his journey through the past: through the landscapes and villages of Turkey where he grew up, and through the significant places of his life in Austria. However, the return to these earlier places does not reveal rediscovery as much as alienation: abandoned houses, a dilapidated school building, a parcel of land that has been sold. Almost everything now appears only as a trace of a past life.
