Faruk, a man in his nine­ties, incre­asing­ly beco­mes the prot­ago­nist in the film his daugh­ter is making about the impen­ding demo­li­ti­on of his block of flats in Istanbul. In the hope of delay­ing the demo­li­ti­on of a buil­ding he has been living in for deca­des, Faruk regu­lar­ly attends buil­ding manage­ment mee­tings. As the daugh­ter films her father, the boun­da­ries bet­ween rea­li­ty and fic­tion begin to blur.
Shot in authen­tic loca­ti­ons and based on real cha­rac­ters and events, Aslı Özge’s new film offers an insight into the life of an elder­ly man in the bust­ling metro­po­lis of Istanbul. Alongside explo­ring the impli­ca­ti­ons of gen­tri­fi­ca­ti­on, the work also del­ves into the com­ple­xi­ties of a father-daugh­ter relationship.
