A brand new Turkish drama on Netflix. The story was about Mehmet, who lived in an impoverished Istanbul town and ran a business of picking cardboards with his boys. One day, he met an 8-year-old runaway boy, and his life changed.
What I liked the most was the relationship between Mehmet and the kid. The montages between them were a bit cheesy, but they still make me care for both of the characters.
The story was quite depressing and serious. It depicted the lives of poor kids who had to survive without parents, and faced risks of substance abuse. Even worse, these kids all wanted to see their mothers, who had to abandon them for various reasons like domestic abuse.
The twist that came at the end was just heartbreaking and sad. It was quite sudden, but made sense considering the build up.
Overall, a good looking yet depressing movie. 7.5/10
