That'll stop it bleeding.
What lessons do you have now? - Math, sir.

Sit down, boys. Let us talk.
So,
the wrestling season starts soon.
We are beginning training (in the name of God).
From now on the training will be
harder,
and tougher.
It is not possible, with
26 of you to train you all at the same time.
So we shall split this group in two.
One group will consist of
last year's class and the veterans.
And the others will be the newcomers.
If you do not make an effort,
you cannot stay here.
So, what are you doing?
You all have your goals, right? - Yes!
- So everyone will focus on his goal
and try to reach it.
So now, pair off.
Everyone should set a goal. Do not exercise for nothing.
- Do not set foot inside the yellow.
Yes, run, run!
Where are your hands, Beytu?
Your hands should be here, not there!
Push
Push your hands down.
Yes, exactly!
Get set!
- Remember the hand combination!
Yes, go!
- We're going to stop for a moment.
Boy, what did I say about where your head should be?
You do not throw before ... Your head should be here!
Baran, bend your hips and come forward!
Yes! Not now...
Ümit, do not pick him up. He is heavy.
If you attack here, bring him to the ground.
Come here, listen.
You'll incur a penalty. Do it properly!
Now...
Yes!
Use your foot properly!
Now throw him over!
- Ahmet, we should get this for you. - Okay.
I think we shouldn't. These bits are ugly.
And it has muscles!
Let's get this for you. Let's suggest it to the director.
- It can be at most 100 lira.
- What's going on guys? - Sir, we need that for Ahmet.
- For Ahmet? Look at this here! Wait ...
That's not good quality.
- Salaam aleikum! - Aleikum salaam.
- I'm Ibrahim Keles, Director of the Wrestling School.
I am Yüksel; welcome, sir.
Our boys are going to Junior School.
I think you sell uniforms for them.
- We do. Which school?
Cumhuriyet and Gazi.
- We also have three students going on to High School. - Okay.
- Trousers with elastic cost 65 lira.
And trousers with belts cost 70.
- Okay, we should have some with belts. Some of the kids are quite young.
For example, we have this little one and a few more like him.
Hand me that one from over there, Sir.
- No, not those, I know the elastic.
Let me show you them.
If you like the elastic, they are 65 lira.
They are made in the factory. The brand is Erdur.
And I have some from Sen Bebe. I'll show you one.
- It should be good quality.
- Last year we had red.
- Same school, Gazi. - The uniforms have changed.
- Why? - They changed the uniforms.
- Are they changed every year?
- You were in our school. - They have become worse.
- We also need uniforms for the High School.
We have four high school students. Write this down.
For high school uniforms, ten lira.
- Ahmest is the hardest to dress. He should try one on.
- Give him the smallest, 5-6 or 7-8.
- That'll be too small.
- It won't. He only weighs 27 kilos.
He's also the Champion. So give him his free.
My dearest. I dress him, no problem.
He'll became Turkish Champion.
- I dress everyone, no problem, sir.
- When he becomes a world champion,
will you be proud to have dressed him?
- As long as he succeeds, it is not a problem. - We hope so, God willing.
Great, that looks nice.
That looks really great.
- Ahmet, you look like a model.
- We will come back later, when it's not so crowded, and clothe all the boys.
- Agreed? - God willing.
- If you excuse us, we have to go now. Good afternoon.
- Bye for now! - Good afternoon.
They put iron or weights under their feet.
No need. I'll make sure.
I'll buy you a big box of raisins, but then you have to eat them every day.
Deal?
- When I saw him for the first time,
he came to the training hall
and I was very impressed
how well his body was shaped,
I told his father that I wanted to record it!
At first, he didn't want to come.
I remember that you praised him even more.
You said he was special.
- But look what we have! - What is special about him?
The worst thing he did lat time Was get a third place.
I do not accept that he only comes third.
Wasn't that so? You came third?
If you had the boy out, you would have defeated Maras in the final.
You lost through your own mistake. Or is that not so, Beytu?
- I'll beat them, but there were so many!
- What do you think, they come again and again?
- You have to beat them all.
There were only two left and you couldn't defeat them.
Who do we take now?
- Four boys, as I said.
Let's take Harun, and Beytu,
- Strong guys, who can really wrestle.
Let the boys win a few prizes.
- What about Ümit? - We'll take Ümit too.
- Ümit will to be in the heavier class.
- Ümit, Harun...
- And Ahmet, in the lightest class.
The prizes... I hope the prizes are good.
- Yes. They say
the prizes are really good.
Were you there last year?
- Yes, I was.
It was okay.
- I was there the year before, The prizes were very good.
Karatas brought me there. We won...
I remember, that we won 380 lira.
- There's a wrestling competition in Kirikkale...
- The National Championship? - Karakucak.
- We want to take him there, God willing.
We will take your son.
A car!
- Over quickly. - Over, over!
- I'll check your answers, children.
Six, that's right.
Who else?
Let me look.
Very good.
The remainder is four. The answer for this one is 35.
There was one over there. I will look at yours.
OK.
Those who were not at the whiteboard, raise your hand.
There were still some of you left. Harun, come up.
So tell us, you have first found the exponent...
- I have first found the exponent,
then I have multiplied the numbers in brackets.
Seven times three is 21, - So he has multiplied the numbers in the brackets.
- If you get the right result, the brackets add
to make 28. And I subtract 28 from 100.
- Come on, Muhammad, come on!
Well done, ldris! When did you learn that?
- Right, let us work on the technique!
Yes, wake up! Yes!
Ümit, let go!
Let go!
This is how you do it! Look!
Do it like this - right foot forward.
If I put my foot forward, my hand is ready.
I grab with my right hand.
And then I grab with my left hand too.
I put my right hand here.
Not here - there.
And then I throw him.
- Begin, Ümit! I blew the whistle and you still look around.
- Don't laugh! Ümit!
Look, with my left hand, I come round here,
When I turn him, I move my left hand,
From here to his hip.
- Yes!
Now get your right hand out!
Get your right hand out!
Yes, do not stop, That's the way you have to do it.
Apply a normal grip.
Put your hand on his shoulder, go!
Stop.
Do it once or twice.
I didn't say that you should do that.
Stretch out your foot, go!
- No way! - I swear!
- I didn't play it!
- You played the Galatasaray card.
- I haven't! I didn't play it!
Mine beats yours. - Okay, you give it to me.
- Give it to me.
- What happened, Neco?
- Do you remember that Bahattin called us into the room the other day?
And his nose started to bleed.
It was really bleeding terribly.
Let us hope that he doesn't have concussion.
What has the nose got to do with the brain?
Blood comes from the brain.
It comes from the heart. The heart pumps it.
- Leave my ear alone! - What?
- Why are you playing with my ear? - Because...
Will you kiss Rukiye at school?
First you go to Ezra...
- ...and then talk to me.
- I'm talking about you. Should I ask her for you?
- Beytu, come on, get ready - We're going to the hospital.
- Yes, sir.
- Hello, I'm Dr. Mehli.
I'm an ENT doctor. Welcome.
- I'm Ibrahim Keles. I'm the director of the Wrestling School.
- Welcome, Mr. Keles. - This is our wrestling student.
His nose is always bleeding. - Since when did his nose start to bleed?
Since Thursday or Friday, at least
three times a day.
- So it's been bleeding for four days.
Did it bleed before that, Beytullah?
Yes.
- Does it always bleed, or if you get a blow?
Does it bleed when you wrestle?
- It bleeds for no reason, and also when I get a punch.
So she can bleed anytime.
Which side is bleeding? Left or right? - Left.
So it always bleeds left?
Beytullah, I'll be able to see in your nose with this camera...
...to investigate...
This could hurt - don't move your head. Well done!
Let's take another look here.
It could hurt here.
It could hurt.
Right.
It's been bleeding a bit.
Okay, that's it.
Well done.
Open your mouth now
and say, "Ah!" - Ah...
Well done.
I will prescribe something to take for for one week.
On the left there are a few damaged veins.
We'll check later, to see if the veins have healed. OK?
If it keeps bleeding, we could be thinking about an operation.
There is also a slight abnormality
that could stimulate the bleeding.
We might want to treat that during his puberty.
I'll write you a prescription now. - Okay, sir.
- You'll be okay in a week.
- Watch what you're doing!
In the morning is training.
No training tomorrow, Master.
- Not good... Let's take a break.
Let's go for a walk.
- Yes? - Then I wake you up at six or half seven.
Can I lie down, Master?
No, but stretch your legs out if you want.
Stretch them.
Eat up.
- You still have your phone?
I will leave mine too.
Give me your phone.
Did you take your medicine? - No. Should I?
- Yes, take it. Here's some water.
Where is your tablet? - Here.
- Don't forget to take it every day.
Take it with some water.
I'm turning off the light. We should sleep a bit.
- Beytu, we should get up early. Sleep and get up early.
- Okay, Master.
Beytu, come on!
Ufuk, Ümit! Come, to the mosque!
Ahmet, come on, we're going to the mosque! Kaan, come on!
Muhammad, Batuhan - come, my dears.
Make your beds before you leave.
- Master? - Yes?
- Should we wash ourselves? - We'll do that at the mosque.
Everyone, come on.
Wait over there.
Baran, get up. We're going to the mosque.
Everyone in this hall to come to the mosque!
- Shall I shout for everyone? - You can't shout.
- If you shout, everyone in the building will hear you. - I know.
- Everyone upstairs come along!
- They even have the power to kill
hundreds of thousands at once.
But much worse
is the silent destruction
- in the form of consumption -
of the resources of life
given to us by God.
They are even manipulating the natural genetic naterial,
the structures of living things, plants and the environment.

Yesterday, for example beef was served,
Mahmut called me and said that not all of you ate it.
How is that possible?
Athletes should eat especially well.
You should eat so you have the energy to burn.
I don't want to hear that again. If Mahmut tells me again
that you throw away the food they serve
I shall cut every one of you, starting with the veterans.
- Especially Harun. If you do not eat,
I will take the scales away.
If you do not eat well, your body will not grow
We will remove the scales.
Everyone will eat properly, If I hear of this again...
Bahattin...
He refuses to eat.
This is the second or third time I hear this.
It is good that Ramazan reminded me.
I'm mad at you, because of what you did.
- Let's bring him to a specialist
or something like that.
- Did not the doctor tell you... - He looks pale again.
- Yes? - Look at him, he's pale.
- We should take them again this year.
Let's check them all out.
I told your dad when he was here,
that you are very passionate,
and aggressive, But sometimes you are taken aback,
then you behave like a pansy.
Childhood is over, Beytullah,
Do you understand that?
Childhood is over.
There are new ones that are strong.
You could lose your uniform. I warn you. Go, sit down.
- Look! Keep fighting!
Grab him,
and there!
Fast! In the direction, in which you look.
Not there.
You're down and then you do that.
Then raise yourself, Some of you go down like that.
No way!
You fall down so -
then get up.
Throw him now!
Ahmet, not like that!
Again! You have to go with your hip!
Do it right! Now!
- Ahmet, that's not right!
Do it again!
Go in there!
Go in - Don't throw him - wait!
That's not right.
Go in. Don't throw him.
Go in, wait!
Do not push your hips that far.
Throw him now!
Do it and go down right away. Do it now.
Come, go to him, sweetheart!
And now! Yes...
No, not like this!
Stretch out your hips. Look in that direction!
Right, throw him!
Great!
A little bit more. You do that too, Ahmet.
Yes, now!
Don't turn your neck!
Come up a little bit! Throw him now!
Don't Cry!
He;s crying because he can't do it.
- I'll try. - It's okay, don't cry.
- He holds me, if I want to throw him!
- You'll do it, Ahmet! Why are you crying? - But sir...
- Okay, but don't cry - you will do better!
This is how the game is played.
Why should he let you?
You don't resist.
What is this howling?
I'm defending myself, but he does it anyway. What should I do?
Then show me, sir!
- Ahmet, come here.
- Sir, I grab him, and if I turn him, I roll myself like this.
And when I go down, he turns that way.
Look at me, If he doesn't offer you a fight,
your opponents will throw you around in the tournament.
And don't contradict your coach, okay?
OK? - Yes, sir.
- It is good that he works you hard.
You will throw your opponents better. Am I not right?
Don't cry.
Don't go so crazy, you psycho!
OK?
Come on!
- Look, when you go in, be quick and throw him properly.
You have to do it fast.
A very simple movement.
Do not push your hips that far.
Do not stretch your hips.
Now!
Yes, now!
Look!
That's not right! That's your mistake, what can he do?
Now tell me who is going to be champion this season?
Make room for your coach.
- Ahmet was champion last year, sir.
He was, and he won a clock. They gave him a clock in the summer camp.
Will Muhammed become a champion too? He should promise it to us.
- I will. - Will you? - He will.
Who wants to become a champion here? Show me your hands.
Great! What if you do not?
- I'll be champion.
- Promise?
Not just once, but every time.
Hands down.
You're one step higher this year and the lessons are getting harder.
Which one of you is the best singer?
Come, sit down here.
I heard that you have a nice voice. Sing us a song.
- What should I sing?
Just sing anything.
Should we sing together?
He will sing. Come on!
♫ The Black Train is late. Maybe he'll never arrive. ♫
♫ He moves through the mountains, not knowing what I feel. ♫
- ♫ Throwing his smoke... ♫
- ♫ The Black Train is late. Maybe he'll never arrive. ♫
♫ He moves through the mountains, not knowing what I feel. ♫
- Hello?
How are you, grandfather?
How is my grandmother?
Are you having dinner?
Bon appétit.
Yes.
Can you come tomorrow?
I missed you somehow.
OK.
Alright.
- Come on, run faster!
- Come on! Come on!
Run!
Run, Sonny!
- Come on, run,
is coming!
- Faster, faster, faster!
Come on!
You have to push yourself
to become a champion.
Stay focused, come on!
Idris, run!
Run, Muhammad!
- Can we drink some water? - No.
- Okay, good.
- I'm really hungry.
- You have to endure such things
if you want to be a wrestler.
- What things?
- Don't stop.
You have to go through with it.
So turn his arm.
Don't open your arm. Hold him up. Come on.
Come on.
Don't open your arm. You lose your balance when you open it.
Hold the arm like that.
If you grab him, keep your elbow here.
Got that?
Come on, left then right!
- Don't wait. Ümit, don't wait.
- Boy, you are in such great pain because of a finger?
Look at me.
That's too much pain for a finger.
Come on!
Wrestlers can fight with dislocated shoulders.
You have to learn To endure pain.
- Press that on top of it as well.
- Stand in a line,
then we can pair you up according to your size.
Stand in a line.
- Five couples will wrestle in each round.
The others will watch.
Do you want to choose, sir? - You can do that.
OK.
Go with God. Go!
- Begin!
Get behind him first! Behind him!
Ahmet, free your arm!
Emircan, adopt the wrestling position!
Turn your face. Get into wrestling position!
Well done, boy! Keep it up!
Well done!
Get behind him and score!
- Okay, stop now.
Well done!
Come on, Batuhan!
Very good.
Get up.
Well done, Emircan.
Give each other a hug.
Well done, you two.
- Come on, Muhammad!
Come, Muhammad!
Muhammed, go for it!
- Come on, Muhammad!
Embrace.
Muhammed, what did I teach you?
Your opponent is big.
There is a metre between you.
And you still aggressive. You attack, and when you push
are you trying to roll him to the wrong side?
Who showed you this movement?
Did I teach you anything like that?
Beytullah called out to you, to roll him about.
Why didn't you do that?
Your opponent stretched out his arm. Why didn't you grab it?
You even let your opponent get up from the ground.
You really have to want it. Understand?
OK?
You have to hang in there in order to win.

Hello?
How is Papa?
Good, bon appétit!
I will probably go Saturday.
Good. How is Mum?
Good.
Has my brother
done his exams?
How did he do?
- Salaam aleikum, - Aleikum salaam!
- Sit down,
What are prophets?
Who wants to say something about this?
Yes, Ahmet.
- Prophets are people who were sent to us by God
to tell us things.
- Yes, Halis Baran. Tell us something about this.
Sir, Muhammad was the last prophet
sent to us by God.
- Sallallahu alayhi wassallam (May Allah's peace and blessings be upon Him)
Can anyone tell me what this Word "fragility" means?
Does anyone know what it means?
It means that one is weak.
It describes moments
where you, being human, act out of weakness.
(What is my ocean of love? You do not swim)
(after you know sadness.)
(Instead of looking for reasons to offend or be offended)
(looks for ways to love and to be loved.)
- How many medals do you have? - I have six.
- You said four!
- Were you in Kirkpinar, too?
- Yes I was. - How much money did you win?
How much money did you get? - One... one and a half.
This guy finished second and didn't even get that much.
Batuhan told me
you receive 5,000-6,000 lira.
Wait, who said I was fourth? I was third!
I finished fifth in the Black Sea Contest!
- I was third!
I was first, but then I was third.
None of you came before me!
Did you defeat him? - Naturally!
You only defeated me once - and you're showing off!
- Well, let's go practice! - OK.
Emircan, How many times have you come first?
So often, I forgot how many times!
- Berkay, How many times have you been last?
Never!
- You're crazy. - I was fifth.
- Doesn't that mean that you were last?
No...it starts with...
...(explains ranking system)...
- then you're last.
- This boy defeated me six to four...
- Is the cotton still in it, or did it fall out?
- Nothing fell out. - Did you get blood in your mouth?
- No. - Has your nose bled again since then?
Six times.
A lot or a little?
- Just a little. - So it was nothing serious.
I will remove the cotton today.
We will clean the inside of your nose and perform one
last endoscopy, okay? Then we'll book you
into our system, for future visits.
We tested your blood.
All results are normal.
No unusual number of blood cells.
I'm going to look at the wound in your nose now.
OK?
Relax a little.
You are strong enough for this.
You can do it.
Well done. I know, that it doesn't feel good.
- Lean back. I'm removing the cotton wool now.
It isn't bleeding.
Good
All good.
I'll explain to you about how
it works.
There are many veins in the nose.
That's why it bleeds so easily.
His nose is not bleeding at the moment.
I have looked carefully with the camera.
There are no broken veins in his nose, his septum - in his nose or elsewhere.
He has no other illness, which could trigger the bleeding.
He has to halt the training for as long as the wound has not yet healed.
If he does that like a pro... He wants to get well first.
- For how long should he stop exercise?
- He should stop for a month.
He has to make sure that he does not hurt his nose.
Every hit
will make it bleed again...
- Okay?
You are a strong and smart boy.
You can do it.
- How are you, Muhammad? - Good.
- Is coach Ramzan there? - He's doing training.
Can you get him for me?
- How are you, Muhammad? - I'm good.
How is the training going?
- Salaam aleikum! - Aleikum salaam, welcome.
- Thank you, we are sorry to disturb training. - No problem.
We were with Beytullah today at the doctor's. - What did he say?
- You had an Endoscopy?
- No surgery or anything, right? - They said
he does not need surgery yet because he is still so young.
But he must stop training for one month. - One month? - One month.
otherwise it will bleed again. He said
he has to wait
until it heals - Otherwise nothing will change.
He needn't wrestle,
but what about running and the regular exercises?
The doctor said that if he is overworked, it will start to bleed again.
We'll see.
- The doctor said it will bleed again. - Mm-hmm.
The hospital in Sansun is better. Everyone says so.
- I'm not sure about that... - We'll make an appointment for him there.
We'll bring him to Sansun.
I'm not sure...
It is just the nose. Why should we suspend him
for one or two months?
One month, not two!
It still means that for nearly two months he can't train.
He will not be able to train.
- But you didn't say anything!
- But it's for your own health.
- We still have to
talk to the director.
- Look at me.
- Will you look at me for a second? - No.
- We do not want you to fall back at school.
Do you think that would be better?
Look at me.
Don't let it get to you.
You will learn, and become a real man.
Do you hear?
We'll stand behind you.
I want you to become a man.
And now, pull yourself together.
- I said
do not step on the yellow! Keep going!
Faster! Faster!
To the side! Sit down.
Yes!
Move the hips!
Ümit, move the hips!
Come on, move it!
Do not let up, Ümit, move it!
Do not put your arms around him. Let go.
Baran, I do not want to see any more mistakes from you.
What can I do if your hand hurts? Mine hurts too!
- I have a splinter!
- What splinter? - A splinter.
How did you get it?
- From football.
So? Then you remove it later with a needle.
Yes, ready. - Yes.
- Lower! Deeper!
Go down, Baran!
Deeper!
Deeper! Deeper!
Deeper!
Get up, boy! Stand up.
- Veterans and those who joined last year,
the new ones are very strong.
You have to work harder, or they'll take your place.
Keep an eye on the competition. Inspire each other.
See how many push-ups the others can do,
and how fit they are.
Look at the competition. Be more passionate.
Yes, ready?
- I heard that again
you didn't eat anything.
- I did!
I heard otherwise.
- I do eat, ask the others! - All right, we'll see.
More control. Be more controlled!
- Stand upright, Kaan! - I will defeat you.
- hands on hips!
Lift your head, Muhammad! Take your head up!
Your hips will hurt if you don't do it right.
Stay there. You don't go anywhere, Idris!
Even when your father comes.
How many do you do, Muhammad? - 21, sir.
- Up!
- Do not give up, Harun!
I want you to do 35!
35!
My arms are also swollen!
How many has Berkan done, Idris? And how many did Kaan do?
How many have you done, Harun?
- 32. - Okay, that's enough...
Come on, do three more!
32 or 35 - it's all the same.
Well done, stretch your arms. Shake them.
Shake it out. I know what it's like when they are swollen.
Is it bad?
Don't let up.
I'll kill you
if you don't pull yourself up!
Fat ass!
Barely done three!
- Yes, go to the side. The second group can step forward.
- Baran, Baran,
you have to hang there longer. You give up too fast.
Come this side.
Look at how many Necmettin does.
I want you to do more than he does.
Do you understand me?
Begin now!
One, two...
Do not let yourself fall... Three... good.
Don't drop, boy!
Pull yourself up!
You will be there for ten seconds. I'll count.
I'll count to ten.
Sweethou, I see you.
One, two. three...
Come on, Baran. Come on, Baran. Come on, Baran.
63.7. Yes, Necmi.
Watch your stomach.
Don't eat bread. - What's your last name?
- Yigit. - Yigit, Necmettin Yigite.
Remember the bread, OK?
Eat it in the morning, but not at lunch.
63.7.
Yes, Baran,
59... 60...
let's say 60.
58, 59 kilos.
- Baran, what's your last name? - He's Kendirlioglu.
Don't eat too much bread, okay? - Okay.
And very little cola and chips.
Okay, Baran? - I don't eat those, sir.
Yes, you do. Look at your weight.
- Harun Killic!
Why are you crying?
- He constantly says that he wants to go home.
- Did you hurt your hand? - Look!
50,000 lira... Can your dad afford to repay that?
- Will you show me the form?
Tell your father that he should come tomorrow.
We'll show you the signed form.
When we show you the form, you will stay, okay?
- Do you have the permission? - Yes.
- Did you pay the 100 lira? - No.
Naturally.
When the 50,000 is gone, you will lose the rest too.
- Then everything would have been wasted.
Shall we really show you the form?
Let's go.
- This boy has even tried to flee.
- He threw himself on the floor.
He will not go anyway.
- He threatened to get out through the window.
- He won't go. - For sure?
- I will go! - Promise?
Where do you want to go? - Home.
No way.
I can't let you go. - But I will go.
- Where? - Home.
Why do you want to go home?
I allow you to see your mother, so why are you crying?
Do you see anybody here
crying? - I don't care. I'm crying!
- Don't you want to wrestle then? - I wish...
I had never started!
Why?
Do you want to know what you are going to do next year?
Next year, you'll be here, God willing.
You'll be here,
and I tell you, that you shan't want to go home.
Do you want a bet?
- I won't be here next year! - Why not?
Go on, dry your eyes.
- I want to leave.
- Where would you go? I will not let you go.
We will not get along if you go on like this.
Where do you want to go? - Home.
- That won't do. How does that work?
You're too young. Can you drive a bus? So how is that supposed to work?
- I don't care! I'll just walk!
- How are you going to get to Suluova? Run? - I can do that!
- Do you know how far away it is? - I don't care! - What?
- I don't care! - No. No way.
I am responsible for you. I can't let you go.
What would I do if you went away and something bad happened?
- I will lose on purpose. - You'll lose?
How does it benefit you when you are defeated?
What do you want to do?
Go away? - Yes.
Even if you lose a fight you won't leave here.
Look -
don't cry.
- Okay? - I don't want to stay!
Alright. Okay.
- Hello grandfather. - Good to see you.
- How are you? - I'm good.
- How was the trip? - It was OK. How are you doing?
- I'm doing well, too. - We have a lot of time to talk now.
- Good to see you. - Thanks. How are you?
- God be with you.
Where are you from?
- I've come all the way from Istanbul to see you.
- Well, that's great. Baran missed you.
- I can imagine.
You told him he should eat less sugar.
But he has eaten ice cream a few times.
- That's fine.
Looks like you look after him well during the holidays.
That's great, but don't go too easy!
- Did your father call? - Yes he did.
- What did he say? - Nothing.
He asked me if I needed any pocket money.
I said I didn't need any.
- Why did you refuse?
When I call, you alway say that you need something.
"I need this and that, grandpa..."
Do you need anything?
- No. - You have everything?
- Yes. - Everything you need, you have...
...you can buy yourself?
- I don't need anything.
Tell me please, while I'm here.
- Okay.
When will you come back?
- I will always come if you should need me.
- That's good.
Come on Tuesday. On Monday the school starts again.
- My stomach is growling.
- I think we will wrestle in Kirikkale.
- The director will take us out, whilst you are gone!
- Where? - Let's not say.
- We won't say! - Yes, he told us not to say anything!
Why don't you tell us?
- The ride will take three to four hours.
And in the meantime
we will go swimming.
- Beytu, I heard you will be going tomorrow. - Yes.
- We're going, too - I mean swimming.
No way! They'll hitchhike!
Can you lend me your shorts?
- Why? - I need them to wrestle tomorrow.
I forgot about them at home.
- Me...and Ümüt...will definitely go.
- Ahmet... - Ahmet...and Harun as well.
And one more - but it is uncertain who.
- I only saw that Ümüt
was on the list.
- Who was at the top?
- I don't know.
- Yes, Harun, outsmart him!
I have a close eye on you!
Exactly, sweetie, don't let go!
You can tear yourself away!
Your twice as strong, Ahmet!
To the side, doon't stay there!
Twice as hard!
Keep him under control, Ufuk, do not give him the point!
Get up, get up. Do it again.
I told you to do it better!
You do not get anything if you don't want it.
Turn away,
Durmus. That's the way you do it.
If the enemy has you under control, turn around.
Try it, if you want.
If you are fast enough, you at least get to knock him down.
- Yes, well done, Ahmet, Go on now.
Go on, now. Don't let him, sweetie!
Get around first, Harun!
Muhammed, don't run towards him!
Don't stay there, don't stay there!
Yes, go now, go! Now!
Yes, don't stop! Yes!
Ümüt, don't stop!
Take a step!
If your hand is here...
...you do it like this.
Got that?
Yes now! Take him down!
Well done! Don't be afraid! Well done!
Come on, Ahmet. Come on.
If you have him by the head and he comes to you...
...go down, pick him up and bring him down.
Yes, little guy. Yes, go!
Now!
- Well done!
Harun, get out of there. Come on, now.
Well done!
Muhammed, don't give up!
Muhammad, attack him. Muhammad, attack him.
Come on. Go on!
- You have to get a point first -
Then you grab him by the arm. Got that?
You don't score points
just wiggling your arms and legs...
Discipline yourself a little bit more!
Press his head down. Get down, and get out of there!
Harun, free yourself! That has no purpose.
Get a point quickly, or I'll kill you.
Get a point!
I want to see a point now! Get a point!
I will kill you - I want a point!
Don't stop! Well done!
Don't stop! Don't leave him!
Well done, Baran!!
Well done, my young bull!
- Stop it.
- I want to see if you are sweating.
Did you lose some fat?
Let me see... - I'm really sweating.
Let me see...
Your stomach is still growing!
The water is turned off. It's a real shame.
Give me the bottle I'll use it tonight.
- Beytu, is your nose bleeding again? There's no water.
- Try the hose.
- Turn on the water. - Hurry.
- Hurry up.
Call the coach, Neco.
Call the director.
- Wash your face.
- What's this? - A soap dispenser.
- And what's that? - Those are also dispensers.
- Wash your hands.
Take your hands away!
- So much blood, that never stops!
It never stops!
Leave the guy alone.
Look, gentlemen!
Look at this!
- Guys, Muslims do not do such things.
- As if you're such a pious Muslim!
This is my private stuff. Go away!
I make a paper dart and throw it at somebody's head.
Why the hell are you throwing books?
(Wrestling is a sport of intelligence and strength.)
(If you have these two virtues united in one person,)
(he is called to achieve great things. - K. Ataturk)
- See you later, Ahmet.
- Come back in first place.
- Make the first place! Break records and win medals!
See you later.
- Bring back some medals.
- Take care, Beytu. Next time, I'll take you with me.
- Okay? - Okay.
I wish Beytullah's nose wasn't bleeding.
Don't you think so? - Yes.
- Go, boys, go have a pee.
It's really hot inside.
- Ahmet?
Yes, sir?
- I hope you will be the winner. - I will, sir.
- I hope so. It will be so, right?
God willing.
- Harun? You will win too, God willing, right?
Yes, sir.
- Hurry, guys, we are running out of time!
Come now!
We're running late.
You know the place. it will definitely be full.
What will you do when we are in Kirikkale?
I fight, that's all. I hope I can come first.
God willing, we will take first place.
God willing, we come first. - Mm-hmm,
It's a shame that Beytullah couldn't come. - Yes...
Exactly. I wish he could be with us.
- He should have come. - I agree.
That would have been really good.
- Ahmet? - Yes.
- Will you come first? - I will.
- Harun? - Yes...
Will you come first?

Mr. Mayor, now to the wrestlers, please.
Wrestlers, raise your arms together.
A round of applause for the
continued success of our athletes!
We also want to thank the esteemed Mr. Mayor.
and...the director of the the municipal police department.
- We were brought here almost for nothing. Only Harun has won.
I wish they had taken others instead of us.
- Who else should have come?
Beytullah would be in the same class as Harun fought.
If Ufuk had come - he also.
- If it had been Durmus...
...he would have out-competed us. - But if not...
He would lost against the same boy whom you lost against.
- How do you know? - The first round is easy.
Maybe he would've come third or something.
- He would have made it to the top three.
- I really don't know why I lost.
- I looked around. Ümit was not in the field.
- It only took a minute.
- I struggled for two or three minutes.
But Ümit was nowhere to be seen.
I thought he had won because he disappeared from the field so fast!
I thought, if I lose, then Ümit surely defeated the boy
against whom I lost.
Then I found out... that Ümit had lost too.
- Submit? Submit?
- Do you submit?
