i watched this film yesterday in a Theater in Frankfurt, and i was amazed that though the credits rolled down, no one made a move to stand up as one usually do.
Everyone was sitting and hoping for the story to go on, or atleast the father to show up. Or just watch the see moving.
It truly was a amazing scene. Has this also happened to you in any film ?
Exactly the same happened yesterday at the screening here in Toronto, Canada. You are right ive never seen this before. It's probably the beach or the sea that provides this serenity or even better for the director, it's like time to absorbed what you just saw. I don't know really but it's an interesting fact.
Cheers,

you know I purchased the DVD and watch it at home,
I've to say I like the ending music very much, I doonno where can I find and listen to it...
I just had laid down into my chair, watching the calm sea, and Nejat sitting by it.

Me personally, I can't think of an ending better than this. A few minutes prior to the ending, I was starting to worry how the heck is the director going to end this. By the time the credit came up, I almost jumped up from my seat in applause. It is the perfect way to end this movie, and the perfect ending not only because its emotional impact, it also gave me a moment so calm down. The human spirit and emotion are so delicate and yet so powerful, your mind is still drifting with the wave. I needed that final moment to settle all my thoughts, and emotion.
Seriously, this is exactly why you love European cinema.
Well, if you believe the writers' persistance with tragical irony that define the characters lives, it'd be quite feasib;e that the son seeks the father the day he decides to end his life.
But I'd rather think it's a "happy" end, the son is reunited with the father and the son finally finds out the real identity of Ayten Öztürk because they have no reason of hiding anything now.

I don't see any evidence for any other supposition. Of course, it ended this way, and I appreciate the filmmaker for not hitting us over the head with happy reunion scenes.
I just saw the movie today at a theater in the San Francisco Bay Area, and most people stayed for the entire credits.
I'd say only about a third of the audience remained seated here in Trinidad.
A minor event did occur during the credits...Nejat is attacked by a white plastic bag!
Adversus solem ne loquitor.
Unfortunately, I only saw this on dvd at home. I sat through the credits hoping to see the Father return. But even if he did or didn't it was very peaceful and a beautiful way to end the film.
I have seen a couple other films where I waited throughout the credits but those were mostly comedies where there was a pay-off of some silly last clip of a joke or quick shot. Nothing like the impact of this ending!
Yesterday, seeing it for the first time on DVD, I caught myself watching the credits 'till the end. When they were over my girlfriend (who had seen the movie before, on theatre) asked me why and I couldn't explain, I guess it was a very calm and beautiful scene and I was dragged into it. She said the same happened in the theatre, people just stayed there watching the credits. (São Paulo - Brazil)

That is pretty funny. We watched it at home and sat still on the couch through the credits. I liked those little Black Sea waves - so calming after that story.

Watched till the end of the credits here in California. The music and the sea and the waiting for a father who may or may not return, but who has the forgiveness of his son either way. What a brilliant ending for a brilliant film.
