Synopsis

Mustafa, known by the nickname "Ipsiz," is a drunkard and a wine lover. He spends the 3-5 kuruş he earns in taverns and is despised by everyone around him. Mustafa lives a poor life, sleeping on the beach at night, while completely different lives are being lived right next to him. A wealthy businessman wants to buy a plot of land near Mustafa's neighborhood to build large houses, but the landowner refuses to sell. The businessman, who has decided to kill the landowner, assigns one of his men to carry out the task. One day, this man comes to the tavern where Mustafa drinks every night and, upon seeing him, sets out to train him as a hired killer.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

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.
