Turkey/ 2005 / 49’ 33” / Mini DV / Turkish / English Subtitled

Ibo works as a public announcement officer, a municipal tea maker, a farmer, a marriage official ... in a small town in Turkey.  He is 45 years old and has 5 jobs.  He works in so many jobs in order to fulfill a dream that almost no one else around him believes in.

Almost as if to spite those that claim, “What kind of a dream could we possibly have in this small town?”, Ibo turns alternately into a hard-working ant and then into a fun-loving cricket in his struggle to achieve his dreams.
He claims his life to be in “in harmony”, but his friends say that he is an instrument that is out of tune.  “Cicadant” is the  story of Ibrahim, and a film about a passion for  music, about ideals and different ways to live life, and a strong and optimist plea to do and fight for what one believes in.
