Baran the Bandit is released from prison after 35 years. He and his gang ranged the Cudi mountain in eastern Turkey. He returns to find his village under water after the construction of a dam. His world has been scattered to the winds. He is told that his former mate Berfo had masterminded his downfall to steal the love of his life, Keje. Berfo has since ruthlessly become a powerful criminal business leader. Baran befriends young low-level gangster Cumali who is enamored with his old style criminal stories.This is a Turkish film. It's part buddy crime movie and part poignant love story. The only drawback is Şener Şen in the sense that I want him to be more compelling. He's like a grandfather in his pajamas and a coat. There is value in looking ordinary but I really want him to be in bad-ass style. It's nitpicking a minor point. The story is great and the characters are terrific. It's great.

When returning to the home village he witness the fact that the world has changed dramatically during those years, with the village itself underwater after the construction of a dam. Then he also finds out that the person who masterminded the betrayal that brought him to jail was Berfo (Kamuran Usluer), a friend who had once been closer to him than a brother. In order to snare Keje (Sermin Şen), Baran's sweetheart, Berfo seized his best friend's gold and had Baran arrested by the gendarmes on Mountain Cudi.

...Turkish film sector made a great progress with "Eskiya". Following the footsteps, award winning films were shot. Eg. Faith Akin in Berlin. The film is also important as it took attraction from abroad. Ugur Yucel the leading actor of "Eskiya" is one of the most important players in Turkey. Also Sener SEN is the top leading artists of Turkey. He is very famous all over the country. This film is not the peak point of Sener SEN but he makes the film top rated in my opinion. ...Turkish film sector made a great progress with "Eskiya".
