Plot
Three years ago, in real-life, Hama Ali, a charismatic actor from Iraq famous locally for his performance as Iraq's version of Superman, met Ayca on a film-set. He and Ayca, a fiery actress from Turkey, had a passionate love affair before returning to their respective homes. From his Kurdish village, Hama Ali sends Ayca video love letters which he has filmed on his handycam. She watches them from her sofa in Istanbul, with her cat for company. The video love letters capture the hellish violence engulfing Iraq, the goats and uncles populating his rural area, and also his tender affection towards her. Feeling suffocated by her own city and angered by the indifference towards the war that surrounds her, Ayca decides to make the journey eastwards to Iraq to be reunited with her lover. GITMEK, a dramatic feature film, is based on the true story of Ayca's departure from Istanbul and her extraordinary journey to the Iraqi border. At a time when many people were fleeing from East to West in search of safety, Ayca makes the opposite journey, in search of love. She is helped by immigrant artists who live in the slums of Istanbul and the mothers of long distance truck drivers who she meets at various border towns. The journey takes her through breathtaking landscapes, strange encounters and terrifying times.

Vasco Rossi (born 7 February 1952), also known as Vasco or with the nickname Il Blasco, is an Italian singer-songwriter. During his career, he has published 26 albums (not including unofficial releases) and has written over 150 songs, as well as lyrics for other artists. He calls himself a "provoca(u)tore" (an Italian portmanteau for "provoking author") as throughout his career he has been regularly criticized over his choice of lifestyle and the lyrics in his songs.
Vasco Rossi was born in Zocca, in the province of Modena (Emilia-Romagna). His father, Carlo Rossi, was a truck-driver, and his mother, Novella, a housewife. It was his mother herself who decided to enroll him in singing school when he was a little boy, a choice that must have seemed rather peculiar within the mentality of a small village in the Apennines like Zocca. Nonetheless, Rossi fell in love with music and at the age of 14 began playing with his first band.
Rossi and his family moved to Bologna, Italy, where he studied accounting in high school. Upon graduating he opened a music club, Punto Club, and enrolled in university at the faculty of Economics and Business. In the meantime he supported himself by working as a DJ and founding, along with friends, one of the first private radio stations in Italy, "Punto Radio", with which he began slowly and timidly showcasing his own songs.

Luis Miguel is the only Latin artist to have two Spanish-language albums (Romance and Segundo Romance) go platinum in the USA. He has achieved a long string of distinctions.

Ja znam, ja znam
Ja znam gde pripadam 4x
Jos jedan dan odlazi u noc
Tama grad nezno pokriva
Moje su misli negde u daljini
Noc svoju dusu lagano otvara
Prolaze sati, ne mogu da zaspim
Ruke kao da su vezane
Sve tudje greske ne mogu da platim
Nisu nam iste sudbine
Nikada mi tudja ruka
Nije bila portebna
Uvek nadjem neki izlaz
Ni danas mi niko ne treba
Ja mogu svakog da pogledam u oci
Nikom nista ne dugujem
Sve sto dodje mora i da prodje
Ja nikad ne odustajem
Ne govori mi nista
Nema potrebe
Ja znam gde pripadam
I svoje srce necu da ti dam
Ja znam gde pripadam
I svoje srce necu nikad da ti dam
Ja mogu svakog da pogledam u oci
Nikom nista ne dugujem
Sve sto dodje mora i da prodje
Ja nikad ne odustajem, ne
Ne govori mi nista
Nema potrebe
Ja znam gde pripadam
I svoje srce necu da ti dam
Ja znam gde pripadam
There is a war in all the heads and there's a war in
mine as well
And if I could explain it any better, I'm sure I would
We're in a bus and it's night, you opened up and so
will I
But though I'm good with words, I've never been good
with words
But all I know is there's something new this year
All I know is there's something new real near
There is a town that I live in and it's a town that
favors winners
And when I win I think about when I'll next lose
I took a train that took me north
And it's the place where trees speak louder than the
people
But if I have to pick that's what I'll choose
I walked along the river Ume, it chilled me out of my
bones too
But a cold wind is always better than a cold voice
I am not strong enough for win city, I'll stay in to
play Sin
Witty people without hearts have always had a lead on
But all I know is there's something new this year
All I know is there's something new real near
All I know is there's something new this year
I don't know much, but there's something new coming
near
I'll walk into the shop where you work, it is a shop
that kills you slowly
There'll be no blood but another shirt on a hanger will
still behead you
I'll lift your arm and you'll lift mine, and in a
Communist state of mind
We're not worth more than anyone else but surely not
worth less
And all I know is there's something new this year
All I know is there's something new real near
All I know is there's something new this year
I don't know much, but there's something new coming
near
All I know is there's something new this year
All I know is there's something new real near
All I know is there's something new this year
You have won the Olympic game 'cos you got lot of money to pay!
But how much you gonna pay for me all the people
Under the table.
Every time I out of my practice place, take bus back home so far away
Killing me oh my baby killing me oh my stomach
hope my dream is not so far away
Many time I walking on the street, See the workers hang out on the street
You said you have won the Olympic but how you gonna pay for the workers
