Set in the teeming streets of Istanbul, director Emre Sahin's debut feature traces the trajectories of three lives: that of Metin (Ali Atay), a cabbie and a petty thief; Godwill (Ntare Mwine), a Nigerian immigrant; and Sevda (Deniz Çakir), a middle-class wife and mother. As much a portrait of a city as it is a character study, the film explores themes of destiny, faith, love and luck as its protagonists stumble through life in the urban jungle.
