" Dear, I have traveled thousands of miles, I've crossed rivers and moved mountains . I have lived and endured suffering. I have resisted the temptation and followed the sun to stand before you and say I love you. "

I started to travel since I can remember. Not physically of course, not smoking anything. But reading, watching movies and listening to stories of those who had been in other places. Hence I am a cinema fan, especially of those countries that cause my curiosity. One is Turkey.
This interest in the country that divides Europe from the Middle East took me to see a German film (directed by a Turk), whose central theme is the journey that makes a girl and a German guy from Hamburg to the Bosphorus Bridge in Istanbul. Him for a woman and her for a man.
The film is titled "I'm Juli (Fatih Akin - 2000) and represents a real journey through several countries of central Europe. Along with Juli (Christiane Paul ) and Daniel (Moritz Bleibtreu ), actors, visited Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania. We see some aspects of the culture of these countries, we traveled by boat along the Danube and see different landscapes of this beautiful region of Europe to reach the symbolic bridge over the Bosphorus, which divides Europe from the Middle East in the mysterious city of Istanbul.

" I'm Juli "has a rating of 7.9 stars that have given users of the Internet Movie Database and director Fatih Akin has won several major awards. The film is easily downloadable from the Internet, through portals such as Portal or Vagos.es. cultmoviez.blogspot.com or blog. If you can not travel this summer, I'm Juli is a good choice to do with imagination ...
The soundtrack to I'm Juli is very good too. Here is the video where the character of Luna (Branka Katic ) sings a beautiful Turkish song during an evening on the beach in Hamburg:
