Rather than a cat film about Istanbul, it’s a cat film about a person’s intimate relationship with a cat. Cats in Istanbul move freely in and out of human life, intimate but maintaining their own separate space, and many people have unique stories between themselves and cats. They are like kings in Istanbul. They can bask in the sun lazily on the side of the road, lie on passers-by begging for food, and act coquettish with people they don't know. The whole documentary exudes the strong friendship and human touch between people and cats. The cats in Istanbul are also residents there. If the cats disappear one day, maybe Istanbul will also be gone.
