    • Synopsis
    • Mithat Bey is one of a dying breed: a veteran and inveterate collector, who hoards everything from newspapers to recorded sounds and bottles to clocks. But a formidable struggle begins for him when the residents of his apartment block decide to evacuate the building, motivated by earthquake fears and easy profits. The person he makes his ally in this struggle, which he takes on simply to maintain his collection, is Ali, the apartment caretaker who worries about losing his job. From this point on, the two men begin to influence each other’s lives. And in the foreground for each of them is Istanbul, the city with all its streets, sounds and descriptions written of it.
