A story from Bornova, a neighborhood in Izmir. Two good friends Salih and Hakan spend their days in front of a grocery store waiting for a chance to do something with their lives.

Sinekatalog’s take

Two friends idle in front of a grocery in an Izmir neighborhood, hoping for something to happen. The story is small, observational and shaped by local color. Of interest to viewers who like slice-of-life Turkish drama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
