Watchman 2018
(9)
The two days of Salih the Grave Keeper, as the little man, are also two long days dedicated to the subconscious of the ordinary person we constantly encounter in daily life but never pay attention to; two nights that reveal the extent to which the potential violence harbored within many people we describe as "quiet, calm, harmless, and minding their own business" can reach. Salih, who works as a graveyard watchman in a small town, leads a life detached from the townspeople and the town itself, and has been doing the same routine things for years: he leaves his home in the late afternoon to go to his post, walks the approximately two-kilometer path/terrain, greets the milkman who shares the same routine on the way, spends the night alone on guard duty in the hut and its surroundings, walks the same path again in the early morning, greets the same milkman, returns home, eats, sleeps, and rises again in the late afternoon to take over the shift.
