TURKISH BOOK, FILM TO BE PROMOTED IN CHINA

ANKARA (A.A) - 10.06.2010 - A Turkish book and a film based on that book will be promoted in China.
"Mutluluk" (Bliss), a book by journalist, writer and musician Zulfu Livaneli, will be promoted in China as it has been translated into Chinese.
Livaneli will go to China on Friday to participate in the promotion campaign. Turkey's Culture & Tourism Minister Ertugrul Gunay will also participate in the activities in Beijing and Shanghai.
The film "Mutluluk" (Bliss), directed by Abdullah Oguz, will be screened within the framework of the promotion campaign with Chinese subtitles.
The film tells a story about a young woman, a young man, and an ex-university professor. When a young woman named Meryem (Ozgu Namal) is raped, her village custom requires that she be killed in order for the dishonour to be expunged from her family. A young man named Cemal (Murat Han), the son of the village leader, is given the task but at the last moment he has doubts. The pair go on the run, followed close behind by local thugs intent on killing the girl. Luckily enough, Cemal and Meryem meet up with a charismatic man named Irfan, an ex-university professor who is embarking on a sailing trip, and needs a crew. Seems Irfan is running away too--in his case from a dead marriage and an empty life. Together this unlikely trio set forth on a voyage that will change all of their lives.
