Zeytin, Nazar, and Kartal are three stray dogs wandering the streets of Istanbul, embarking on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society. Their disparate lives intersect when they each form intimate bonds with a group of young Syrians who share the streets with them.
Reminiscent of the adorable hit Kedi, Elizabeth Lo’s compassionate documentary observes the vibrancy of Istanbul through a dog’s eye view. Capturing the sweet friendship between stray canines and young Syrian refugees, this roving travelogue resounds with a deep sympathy for the disenfranchised.
