Synopsis

Sabit spends all his time in a shabby, old neighborhood cinema that shows pornographic films. The cinema is his home, his universe, his everything. This place is a different world because, in addition to all this, there are different types of people who frequent the cinema. Drunks, smokers, heroin addicts, gamblers, and perverts live in different worlds. These are the types of people we might encounter in the novels of Dostoevsky, Bukowski, or Kafka. One day, when manager Celal quits his job, the cinema owner assigns Sabit the task of bringing films from the film companies in Beyoğlu. Sabit sees Zerrin Öz, once a sex symbol at the film company, and becomes obsessed with her. He stalks her obsessively, constantly watching her and calling her on the phone. This obsession will lead him into a dangerous adventure.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
