The answer is in the coffee

In the backyard of a hotel in Istanbul, the sun is like the fragrance of flowers overflowing, her feet are light, and her dress is lifted by the wind. She gave him a cup of coffee and said: The answer is in the coffee.
If you look at the title alone, it’s easy to mistake it for a story full of fantasy; however, in fact, this is a touching story about faith and search, family and humanity, letting go and reunion, spreading from the endless land of Australia to the Islamic eaves of Turkey. Next, extending from the past to the future.
The family, friendship, and love in the film have their own tensions and are intertwined with each other. One emotion opens up another emotion, which in turn finds support and destination for it, which is worthy of recollection.
In order to fulfill his wife's last wish, the actor came to Turkey alone. The grief of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man was botched on his tired and resolute face. At the same time, the memories of his son were inserted into the journey: before the sandstorm came, he rode a horse to protect the three children in his arms. At this time, he talked about the fairy tale of the magical flying carpet and closed his eyes with the children. Recite the spell. At the beginning of the film, he was telling a story in front of the empty bed, and he opened his son's bloody diary. It was so hard to remember.
In the process of finding a child, the kindness of a Gentile military officer gave birth to a life-and-death friendship. Experienced murderous misunderstandings, when he was in danger, the officer saved him, and he also saved the officer. Maybe kindness is cyclical, because he can't sit back and watch, so he stepped forward; because he couldn't bear it, he drew his sword to help. The two people who hadn’t contacted each other like this, and even if they parted ways later, they could bless them boldly and unrestrainedly: Goodbye!
Facing a foreign man who was led home by a child, the hope that had just ignited in her eyes quickly extinguished. But she unexpectedly discovered that her son was extremely close to this man, so she approached tentatively, and then found herself in a fatal heartbeat. She told him that if the coffee that a woman gives to a man as a guest is bitter, she doesn't like him. The sweeter the coffee, the deeper the love. Then, she helped him escape without thinking about whether he could come back one day. Originally, people are fettered by many things, let alone a sudden love?
The windmill on the foreign land buried the memories of a young man who was hit hard by the war. He appeared in his father's dream. At that time, his eyes were empty, guarding a hometown that he couldn't go back to. In order to relieve his brother's pain, he pulled the trigger, and the time since then has turned into that terrifying gunshot. The Garibaldi War had nothing to do with Australia in the depths of the ocean, but in order to prove the independence of the country to the world, thousands of passionate young people came to the battlefield of a foreign country and fought bloody battles against enemies who had no enemies. Many of them have fallen forever, and an independent Australia has risen. But the victory standing in the ruins is like the pale and dazzling sunlight, which uses damage to show the eye and completes a certain meaning and meaninglessness with pain.
"May you live longer than your children" is not a wish; in a war, a country wins, but everyone loses.
At the end, the father finally found the child. They went back to the hotel together. The warm door boy was overjoyed. Her mother smiled and offered a cup of coffee.
A full cup of sugar is too late to melt, just like everything in the past, it will always melt, but it takes time to taste its sweetness.
The title "Master of Water" is not a generalization of the film, it is closer to a symbolism to a greater extent. We look for water, and we also look for all the beautiful things that we love so much that we live on. Everything in life, whether joy or sorrow, always begins and always ends. Today's devastated soil will have new vitality to sprout tomorrow; those wounds that make your heartache will also be healed with a gentle hand.
This is a cliché story, but I like it.
The sweeter, the deeper the love.
Taste and love are a common language.

    Great story, just too loosely told. The scenery is spectacular.
