On the streets of Istanbul, vendors of cakes, quilts, and other goods market their products using their own voices. Developed through impressive techniques handed down from generation to generation, their distinctive chants contribute to the noisy and complex soundscape of a bustling city.

In this soulful short, the rhythm of Istanbul’s streets is captured with a keen ear and a tender heart. Metin Akdemir’s playfully resonant documentary finds echoes of the city’s rich traditions and the subtle vanishing of its past through the symphony of everyday life.
