Fate (Tales About Darkness I)

The screenplay of fate has been inspired by Albert Camus' "Stranger" which narrates the story of a bookkeeper who rejects to use his will. Musa who works in customs office, believes in the absurdity of life. He doesn't struggle to change his life; he lets himself to the flow of events because he thinks that it all leads to the same end. The death of his mother doesn't effect him. Although he loves her, her death even makes him joyful. In order not to decide himself, he marries to a girl whom he doesn't like just because she wants to. Whereas, in his world, people deal with their fate with their own will and power. He's arrested for the death of a mother and two kids. However, he doesn't give any reaction to this event, either. The first film of "Tales About Darkness" , Fate, describes the story of a person who feels guilty without any reason. "All my life, I always wanted to express my feeling of guilt and my hatred towards the privileged and to those who are seeking privilege only". Zeki Demirkubuz
