Did you know

Mahmut's house is actually the director's own house.

At the Cannes Film Festival 2003, the best actor award was given to both of the leading actors in the film, 'Mehmet Emin Toprak' (Yusuf) and 'Muzaffer Ozdemir' (Mahmut). Toprak was unable to receive his award because he had died in a car accident not long after he learned that he was nominated.

The car Mahmut drives all through the film, a Smart, is actually the director Nuri Bilge Ceylan's own.
