Synopsis

This story is about a beggar, a thief, and a child working on the street, a paper garbage collector, a leftist, a Muslim, a father, and a second-hand book dealer… Oktay Çetinkaya, full of life, tells us the stories of back streets, ghosts with whom he shared his own history, living as one of them.

MUBI's take

In his revelatory documentary, Enis Rıza uncovers an unseen Istanbul, portraying the poignant resilience of its marginalized souls through a lens of raw empathy. It’s a humanist narrative of transformation, sparked by the life-altering discovery of literary treasures amid the city’s refuse.
