The story

What Is Taşkafa, Stories of the Street About?

The premise of Taşkafa, Stories of the Street without spoilers.

This documentary tells the story of Taşkafa, a legendary dog living on the streets of Istanbul. Beginning with a reading from John Berger’s novel, King, the film explores the lives of the area’s residents—taxi drivers, shopkeepers, and street traders—who deeply care for the city's stray dogs. Taşkafa and his canine companions become symbols of a close-knit community where people and animals support each other. However, this way of life is changing as global politics and economic pressures threaten the area, leading to the displacement of both people and dogs. The film is a warm and humorous tribute to city life and the spirit of resistance.
