6th EASTERN UKRAINIAN FILM FESTIVAL
01 — 06 OCTOBER 2022
Restless and young, best buddies Selim and Çaça live a meager existence on the outskirts of Istanbul. By day they breed pigeons on the roof, by night they roam the streets with their entourage in their pimped-up car. Their neighborhood’s view of the city’s gigantic business towers accelerates their ambitions. The two buddies want to open their own parking-lot business near a gigantic mall, and they just might get lucky, since they’re supported by the local mafia boss.
