Paper Lives

In the gritty streets of Istanbul, a small act of kindness sparks a transformative journey for Mehmet, a struggling waste warehouse worker who takes an eight-year-old boy under his wing, only to confront the dark memories of his own traumatic childhood. As he navigates the complexities of family, belonging, and redemption, Mehmet's compassion becomes a beacon of hope in the face of adversity. With its raw emotional intensity and unflinching portrayal of social inequality, "Paper Lives" is a powerful exploration of one man's quest for connection and purpose.
