2 Faces

The camera opens. people realize and see a 200 TL on the ground while walking, but they can't get it. Because a child tied the money to a rope tricking the people who pass by the street by hiding in a nearby balcony and pulling the rope whenever they try to get the money. after that, a passing child notices the money and instead of leaning to get it, he stepson it and manages to take the money, so the journey of 200 TL begins. The journey of the 200 shows many contradictions such as poverty, wealth, stinginess, generosity, needed expenditures and unneeded expenditures. The aim of the film is to show this journey by making comparisons. For instance, a man irons money indicates how much he loves it, and another man uses it to get cocaine. The main messege of the film is: The value of money is fixed but everyone uses it for different purposes. We want to tell a story of the life of a 200 TL by taking the audience on this journey.
Turkish (Türkçe )
Perde açılır. İnsanların yürürken yerde gördükleri 200 TL’yi fark ettiklerini ama alamadıklarını görürüz. Çünkü bir çocuk bu parayı ipe bağlamıştır ve balkondan sarkıtıp yoldan geçen insanları kandırır. Daha sonra yoldan geçen bir çocuk parayı fark eder ve eğilip almak yerine üstüne basar ve parayı alıp gider ve 200 TL’nin yolculuğu burada başlar. Bu yolculukta bu 200 TL’nin hangi kolaylıklarla veya zorluklarla kazanıldığını, yoksulluk, zenginlik, cimrilik, cömertlik, ihtiyaca göre harcamalar ve ihtiyaçsız harcamalar gibi birden çok olaylar gösterilmektedir. Ve bu kısa filmde zıtlıkları göstererek bu cansız varlığın yaşamını anlatmak. Filmin amacı ise karşılaştırmalar yaparak bu yolculuğu göstermek. Örnek vermek gerekirse, bir adamın parayı ütüleyerek ne kadar sevdiğini, bir başka adamın ise parayı kokain çekmek için kullandığını göstermek gibi. Verilmek istenen mesaj; paranın değeri sabittir fakat herkes farklı amaçlar için kullanır. Ve seyirciyi bu yolculuğa çıkartarak bir 200 TL’nin hayatını anlatmak istiyoruz.
