Men on the Bridge (Koprudekiler) (NR)

synopsis

Spanning the divide between Europe and Asia, Istanbul’s gridlocked Bosphorus Bridge is the focal point of "Men on the Bridge," a wonderful portrait of life in the rapidly changing sprawl of today’s city. Following the lives of three young inhabitants from the suburbs who use the bridge daily, the film uses nonprofessional actors to tell their individual stories as their paths occasionally cross and they struggle to realise their aspirations.
