Üç maymun [Three Monkeys] (2008) - Turkey

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1233381/

Plot & Summary
Near the Bosporus, Eyüp and Hacer live in a modest flat with their son Ismail, in his twenties, who's doing poorly in his studies. Few words pass between them, and a past family tragedy brings sorrow daily. On a rainy night, Eyüp's boss Servet, a wealthy businessman who's entering politics, hits a pedestrian on a lonely road. He drives off and offers money to Eyüp if Eyüp will take the fall - probably a six-month sentence. Eyüp agrees, and while he's in prison, Ismail wants his mother to ask Servet for enough money to buy a car. Servet, in turn, desires Hacer. How can this play out?

Mommo [The Bogeyman] (2009) Turkish with subtitles

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1342402/

Plot & Summary
Mommo-The Boogeyman tells the story of two siblings, Ahmet (Mehmet Bülbül), a boy of nine year old and his little sister Ayşe (Elif Bülbül). Ahmet and Ayşe are looked after by their crippled grandfather (Mete Dönmezer) because their father Kazım has gone off to marry another woman after her wife's death and apparently his new wife doesn't want the children. For Ayşe, Ahmet is a friend,an older brother, a teacher, a father whatever you might just call it. For Ahmet, Ayşe is the only one,alongside with his granddaddy,whom he could hold on to. Their grandfather Hasan is aware of the fact that he won't be able to take good care of them forever in his age and condition. His only hope is that his other daughter living in Germany could take the kids into her custody. Though he is himself a child just like his sister Ayşe, Ahmet is cognizant of the fact that their father does not really care about them but Ayşe still yearns for his father's love.

With its simple but sweet cinematography, Mommo reaches the hearts of anyone who had a childhood in such a village.
