Canım Kardeşim turned out to be sad. It is a slice of life story of two very close friends, who do not have regular jobs, live at a very poor neighbourhood and get by with small con jobs and are generally content with their lot in life despite their troubles. The little kid in the photo is the brother of the tall one. And when their father dies at night (probably due to a heart attack) the big guy now has to take care of the little dude who was not in his radar that much up to now. We see how they live and get by and one day the little guy's teacher calls them and wanted the kid checked out by a doctor since he is very dirty and constantly scratches. They took him to a bath house first and then to the doctor only to find out that he has leukemia with only one maybe two months to live. The little guy's heart's true desire is to have a television set. And we see how these two good friends try to make the last days of the kid very happy and obtain a TV to make his wish come true. It is very sad but not melodramatic. More like a slap in the face with each episode of social inequity and one misery after another told in a rather realistic manner.
