A suburban neighbourhood in Adana, Ceyhan… The simplest and the most real state of grim tales, curse, poverty and inability…The city’s famed for its heat, fertile lands, tough guys, kebab, rage and masculinity. Everyone has a thing to say about Adana. Now it’s the suburban’s turn to speak; with all sincerity, all the extraordinary stories and ragged walls.Yusuf the Snipe advising all young men to serve some time…Uncle Pele changing suits as fast as a lightening…Feminist village chief, adorable Naime…The aftermath for the baker who got shot…Devran snappy the bouncer…Elektroşot the invincible cockRokko and his gang, robbing from the rich and giving to the poorDrej Hasan who couldn’t join the mobAnd Cihangir the big brother…The whole filming location is set in Ceyhan where the director was born and raised. It’s a testimonial for the local characters. The film is shifting to a wider perspective for local people who are perceived as popular culture figures. They’ve been given a bad name with news of forensic cases and their violent dark humour. This picture aims to address the sociocultural texture of a suburban city through the eyes of twenty-one characters.
