Mustafa Kutlu's 'The Long Story' follows a young boy named Ali and his socialist grandfather as they travel through Anatolia in the 1970s. Constantly on the move due to the grandfather's unwavering quest for justice, Ali experiences a life of both hardship and immense love. This coming-of-age story beautifully captures the essence of a changing Turkey through a child's eyes, exploring themes of first love, loyalty, displacement, and the search for a place to call home. It's a poignant and nostalgic narrative about resilience and the enduring power of family bonds against all odds.
