Ayşe, Ali, Mehmet and Zeynep are middle-class millennials struggling to make ends meet in Istanbul. Either still living with their parents or hardly getting by without help from their families, they are all beset by similar woes: money crunch, joblessness, social isolation. In view of the world’s horrors that Zeynep enumerates in her diary entries, these are minor problems, ‘slight disasters’, but they are all-consuming, at least to the extent of making them cry in the still of the night. 　　However, Umut Subasi’s first feature, Almost Entirely a Slight Disaster, is not a melodrama. With an appealingly light touch, it diagnoses the malaise of a generation that has run up against a dead end, one whose future prospects are indistinguishable from a game of chance. This is a world where astrology, the lottery and online personality tests compete with visa and job applications as life-shaping elements. 　　Fittingly, the film is structured around chance and coincidence, with its handful of characters encountering each other in every permutation, as though there were no world outside this small social bubble. With self-aware, frontal framing that pins characters to their surroundings and a counterintuitive musical score that turns pathos into humour, Subasi offers a social-media movie without social media, one whose characters are united in their double lives and frustrated desires. 　　源自：https://iffr.com/en/iffr/2023/films/almost-entirely-a-slight-disaster

 根据徐贵祥同名小说改编。 铁匠的儿子石平阳带着父亲的嘱托参军来到炮兵部队。他的一股冲劲，受到营长庄必川的喜爱，老班长李四虎更喜欢石平阳不服输的劲头。李四虎是技术尖子，他对新战士训练十分严格，新战士进步很快。他把石平阳视作接班人，要在自己退伍之前把经验全部传授给石平阳，甚至以故意装病，让石平阳独立完成训练课目。石平阳进步很快，年终还荣立了三等功。和他一起入伍的女兵张媚对他也另眼看待。教导队招收骨干，进教导队就能报考军校，成为军官。营长担心比武缺了石平阳影响成绩，因此改派与石平阳一同入伍的王北风去了教导队。机会得而复失，石平阳有些想不通。父亲去世了，指导员让他回家料理，但他走到半路，想起父亲的嘱托，毅然返回连队。李四虎复员了，石平阳接任班长，他把老班长的好传统全部继承下来，爱兵、爱炮、爱部队，技术精益求精。同时入伍的王北风和张媚进了军校，石平阳仍然当班长。排长调走了，石平阳任代理排长，这时，他入伍已有八年。团里为了留住他，让他准备报考军校。就在这时，新战士刘发展一封虽事出有因但严重失实的告状信，使他又失去了上军校的机会。石平阳要复员了，副团长庄必川舍不得他离开，从车站把他接回，团党委特别决定把他留下。石平阳又回到排里，他对刘发展更严格、更耐心训练和要求，使刘发展深感内疚。几年后，参谋王北风到部队检查工作，见到石平阳仍是上士，不免生出许多感触。在集团军的军事演习中，石平阳指挥火炮群的准确射击，令首长和指挥员们赞叹不已。石平阳多年操纵的火炮由新式火炮取代了，他虽有些恋恋不舍，但他立即和战友们开始学习掌握新的火炮，迎接新的挑战。不久，石平阳被破格提拔为中尉连长。
