- Synopsis:
- Kosmos (Sermet Yesil) appears as if from nowhere, on the outskirts of a snow swept border town, and rescues a local boy from drowning in the river. He is hailed a miracle worker and the townsfolk quickly welcome him into their community. But as Kosmos becomes entangled in the lives of the locals, it is less and less clear whether he is a force of good or evil - he performs miracles, climbs trees, smashes shop windows, steals money and engages in a bizarre love affair with a local girl. Meanwhile satellites crash to earth, wild geese roam the streets and military troops prepare for war.

Pure filmmaking. - Kosmos review by DR
Beautifully filmed and very mysterious.Don't look for a coherent or logically progressive narrative - it's not that kind of film. But it stays in the mind for days afterwards.

Mysterious and memorable - Kosmos review by TE
Absorbing tale from one of Turkey's finest film directors, Reha Erdem.
There is a mythic quality to this depiction of a wandering 'Holy Fool', a character common in Islamic literature and philosophy. This one calls himself Kosmos and there are many playful links between real life and signs from the heavens.
Everything is ambiguous after Kosmos's initial heroic rescue of a child. Is he a healer! Is he a charlatan? Is he an honest man? Is he a thief? Does he have special powers?
The answers are always: 'yes' and 'no'.
The wintry cinematography is excellent, and the film is full of interesting and unusual sound effects, including the weird ululations that Kosmos and a beautiful young woman use to communicate with each other.
