Our take
Aslı Özge crafts a playfully tender ode to her aging father and the ever-changing scenery of Istanbul. This heartfelt exploration of mortality, gentrification, and familial bonds brims with wit and warmth, revealing the quiet vitality in life’s final chapters and our enduring connections to home.
