The story

What Is The Poor About?

The premise of The Poor without spoilers.

Three impoverished men—Abuzer, Haci and Arap—cross paths behind bars after serving separate sentences. Upon release they dread reentering a world that offers them nothing: no family, no work, and no guidance. While Haci and Arap share a similar bleak outlook, Abuzer is left utterly adrift, fearing starvation on the streets of the big city.
