Realistic atmosphere and above average acting ruined by poor writing & directing.
Long story short; idea of the movie is, if you're a member of a low-class family in Istanbul which moved there from a north-eastern small city to establish a new life, and also if your family has not well-understanded religious beliefs and practises, you're the source of all the evil in the world. But if you're secular and a schoolgoer / middle+ class citizen, you cannot have that bad personalities...
That point of view reminded me old Turkish "Saban" movies where every Muslim or mosque related people are dramatically bad.
Ironically, movie had government support (ministry of culture), that arguable government who rules the state by the votes of lots of 'Muhittins' according to this movie's creators' philosophy.
So, who is the real Muhittin here?
