Fate- Tales About Darkness (Yazgi) (2002) English Subtitles Albert Camus Turkish Remake of Albert Camus's The Stranger
Zeki Demirkubuz's Yazgi, the first of a planned trilogy to be referred to as "Tales About Darkness," tells the story of Musa (Serdar Orcin). His routine life as an office drone rarely changes course, even when his mother (who he lives with) dies. Things change dramatically when he meets Sinem and begins a relationship with her. The fact that she is his boss' secretary complicates the situation, but not nearly as much as the eventual murder of the boss' family does. This film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2002 Cannes Film Festival, and won an award from the international critic's association.
Musa, who works as a bookkeeper in the customs office, believes in the emptiness and absurdity of life. He doesn't struggle to change his life; he lets himself flow along with events because he thinks that it all leads to the same end. The death of his mother doesn't affect him. Although he loves her, her death makes him joyful. In order to avoid making any decisions he marries a girl whom he doesn't like, because she wants it. Whereas in his world, people deal with their fate by their own will and power. Musa is arrested for the death of a mother and her two kids. However, he doesn't react to this event either
