ADAM AND THE DEVIL
|
Synopsis:
On the first day of Ramadan, Hasan arrives at a railway station in the middle of
the Anatolian wilderness. He has with him a young wife and a young daughter. He
had heard that the small station community needed an imam to lead the prayer ritual
and teach the children Koran during the holy month. Though a little put out by his
unexpected and indeed uninvited appearance, the station folk have little choice
but to lodge him, his wife and child in the cottage kept for the imam. Before too
long, realizing how aloof he is with his wife and daughter and through a series
of events, the townspeople decide that for all his impassioned preaching and, his
mellifluous calls to prayer and committed worship, Hassan is essentially a cruel
and heartless man and they start to develop an almost hostile attitude towards him.
