Two young men from different regions, Mehmet from the West and Berzan from the East, are bonded together in their struggle to survive as lower-class citizens. One day, Mehmet is mistakenly arrested for carrying a gun, triggering a violent spiral of events that will forever change their lives.

MUBI's take

Balancing the personal with the political, Yeşim Ustaoğlu tells the heartbreaking story of a friendship that flourished in the slums of Istanbul. A precisely observed study of everyday systemic racism in Turkey, Journey to the Sun is a powerful affirmation of the empathetic potential of cinema.
