Tarlabasi and Me

A man's life takes a profound turn as he becomes fascinated with the mysterious Tarlabasi neighborhood in Istanbul, uncovering a world of hidden truths and surprises.

In the heart of Istanbul, the Tarlabasi district remains a hub of poverty and diversity, where people of all origins live together. Mustafa, a resident, earns a living by rummaging through trash, and like many, has lost hope. As the city center is destroyed by real estate speculation, the streets of Tarlabasi become a battleground for young protesters, with Mustafa and his neighbors watching with a sense of resignation. Despite the hardships, Mustafa has learned to appreciate the little he has and find joy in the simple things, like sharing laughter and moments with friends.
