Sixteen million people live in Istanbul, and this film follows several of them through a city caught between tradition and an economic crisis that keeps deepening. Şevket, a cab driver of more than twenty years, photographs homeless people he meets on his night shifts, including entire families now living on the street; toward dawn he switches to ferrying clubbers home from a party scene that Istanbul is famous for but that is visibly shrinking under government-driven Islamization. Şükrü, a choreographer, teaches dance that he says draws out a feminine side in his students, men and women alike, work he can now only do in protected, semi-hidden spaces. Moving between taxi rides, dance studios, and street scenes shot after dark, the film builds a portrait of a megacity where poverty is rising and public life is narrowing, told through people trying to hold onto the cosmopolitan Istanbul they remember. Their stories add up to a quieter argument about what is being lost as the city changes around them.
