Hezarfen

An animation based on the Turkish character Hezarfen Ahmed Celebi who seemed to have achieved sustained unpowered flight. The story goes that Hezarfen first practiced by flying over the pulpit of Okimeydani eight or nine times with eagle wings, using the force of the wind. Then, as Sultan Murad Khan was watching, he flew from the very top of the 205ft-high Galata Tower and landed in the Dogancilar square in Uskudar.

Ooh! Boobies! it's nice to see breasts just there as a consequence(i.e. a harem) and not such a big focus. It makes it more natural and realistic. If they were wearing tops it would seem incorrect and silly.
The scene was cute and funny instead of sexual and degrading. Although the concept of a harem itself is degrading, but the clip DOES take place in Turkey a long time ago.
I just like seeing breasts portrayed as normal and natural and just there, instead of such a big deal.
Nice Job.

Hmm... I thought it was just the women's bath... not a harem.
