Tea Beauty

Zeliha would collect the last bundle of tea at the checkout, take the tea scissors with her, and follow her mother to the place of purchase. The young girl promised this while loading the bundle, which she hurriedly fucked, onto her mother's back. However, more than an hour had passed and Zeliha had not arrived. His mother, Mukadder, turned her eyes to the sky. A fragile sun passed by the heavy clouds that were undecided between gray and dark blue, and the clouds passed by the tangerine, date palm and blackberry trees that grew sporadically in the tea gardens. Ismail Saymaz invites us to follow the traces of those who tried to climb Mount Ovit and those who clung to life for better or worse. Along this trail, you will see the seasonal worker in the tea field, the anchovy seller who bets on anything and everything at his stall out of boredom, Mademoiselle Loya selling badges with a hammer and sickle at the Russian Market, the one who stops at the rabita to reach his sheikh and instead sees the Olga he remembers from a hotel room. You will come across Sofi. From blackberry trees and tea gardens to the narrow streets of the city, to the wide highways built by plundering the forests... Tea Beauty is stories that show that there are other colors in black and white photographs.
