Jolly Life

(2009)Directed by Yılmaz Erdoğan107 minDrama, Comedy

Why would a man in a Turkey caught between two worlds put on a red suit and sit in a shopping mall? Rıza (Yılmaz Erdoğan) is weighed down by troubles and has no better offer, so he takes the job of mall Santa and starts to wonder whether real life is any less staged. Erdoğan, who wrote and directed, places him between Westernized upper-class Turks and the working-class families of the east.
