Director Ceyda Torun grew up in Istanbul, where hundreds of thousands of cats have roamed the metropolis freely for thousands of years, wandering in and out of people’s lives.

Istanbul’s cats and their kittens bring joy and purpose to those they choose, giving people an opportunity to reflect on life and their place in it. In Istanbul, cats are the mirrors to ourselves.
