Honey lures Golden Bear at Berlin festival

Turkish director Semih Kaplanoglu won the Berlin Film Festival's coveted Golden Bear for best movie, with controversial Polish-French filmmaker Roman Polanski honored by the Berlinale.

Kaplanoglu's movie, Bal (Honey), about a young boy who goes in search of his father after he fails to return home was one of 20 films competing for the top awards at the 60th anniversary Berlinale.

The slow-moving Bal completes Kaplanoglu's trilogy of films, which charts the life of a man called Yusuf in rural Turkey. The two previous instalments were called Egg and Milk.
