'Daidai' shows an elderly man on one or many nights. There he sits between the glimmer of a reading lamp and the near-darkness.
Guest: filmmaker Can Ünlü
Only the teletext is clearly illuminated: soccer results of the Turkish Süper-Lig, January 20, 21.22. The clock ticks as if time has jumped, nothing indicates that it is passing. Not until he slowly wanders through the hallway of the nursing home. And later through the city. Who is this man? 'Daidai' doesn't reveal much, the film almost seems to hold the protagonist captive in the stylization of his isolation. The longer the darkness in the room unfolds, the more it is penetrated by the teletext that this film turns into an event; by a young man who sits down with him and a past life. Can Ünlü's observation of this stubborn persistence results in a courageous portrait.
