Jale, who spends her days as a street vendor on the Bosphorus, has a team of friends hanging out on the shore like her and a stalker boyfriend. Ranging from fishermen to pseudo clergy teachers, all of these people have cast themselves adrift the Bosphorus. The film is striking with its black and white aesthetics and strong acting.
