Atilla Atalay

The story of the villagers of Çaykaşılı in Kastamonu, caught between their traditional way of life and industrialization. Aşur, who migrated from Kastamonu to Istanbul, is a man who makes a living by chasing small jobs in the construction sector and committing fraud. He abandons the renovations he takes on without completing them, taking the payments and disappearing. As a result, he finds himself in trouble with customers who have lost their money and workers who have not been paid.

Sidika is the story of Saka family and their young daughter Sidika who live in a poor neighborhood of Istanbul. Sidika was not allowed to go to high school, raised to wait her husband-to-be at her fathers home, not even allowed to leave their house on her own. But she educated herself through books, newspapers and TV. She approaches her life, half-witted older brother, oppressive and alcoholic father and traditionalist mother in a satirical and fun manner along with the current political and sociological events of Turkey and the world. She gazes the world through her window as she hungers for all the intellectual accumulation of the universe.
