- Tells the story of the occupation of Gezi Park, Taksim Square, Istanbul, the eviction on July 15, 2013, and the protests that have continued in the aftermath. It includes interviews with many participants and footage never before seen.
- Gazi to Gezi - a stones throw away explores the poetry of a nationwide revolt in Istanbul, Europe's largest city. An explosive mix of the cities inhabitants come together to fight the police and barricade themselves into one of the metropolis's few remaining green spaces, Gezi park. All are present; from the liberal students, to oppressed, illegal revolutionary groups living among the slums of the city. The film, told through the memory of a stone, attempts to link the past with the present in a cinematic format which is neither factual nor fictitious. Scored to a beautiful soundtrack, the audience is taken into a rebellious world.
- The film is a snapshot of what we have seen and what we have been told. Rumors: students, lawyers, architects, journalists, activists, young and old, rich and poor; angry and joyful; brave and frightened. Images: the peaceful occupation of Gezi Park, the joy in opposing an absurd choice, and the violence of repression, the dismay in being "raped" the invention of silent protest, the multitude of Taksim Square. The reasons: the gentrification of Istanbul, Islamization which prohibits the consumption of alcohol in the evening, the limitation of individual freedom, a power more and more deaf, the allegation that he tried to hide the protest. The plurality of the protesters, different from each other, united in an unexpected alliance against abuses of power.
