Mahmut Fazil Coskun's film, which received its world premiere in Istanbul, follows a city slicker forced to relocate to the provinces.
The story of a city slicker forced to relocate to the provinces has been retold many times, in many different countries. Yozgat Blues, one of the Turkish movies receiving its world premiere at the Istanbul Film Festival, discovers a tasty variation on this well worn theme. Yuvaz (Ercan Kesal) is a music teacher in Istanbul who also performs occasionally as a musician. When a performing gig is offered to him in a city in the middle of the country, he decides to seize the opportunity, even though he is reluctant to trade the stimulations of the big city for life in a more remote outpost.
