Man and cat

This is not so much a cat movie about Istanbul, as it is a cat movie about the close relationship between people and cats.
Cats in Istanbul move freely in and out of human life. They are intimate but retain their own independent space. Many people have unique stories between themselves and cats. They exist like kings in Istanbul. They can lazily basking on the roadside, begging for food on passers-by, and act coquettishly with people they don't know.
The whole documentary exudes a strong friendship and human touch between people and cats. Istanbul’s cats are also residents there. If one day all the cats disappear, Istanbul may not be there.

Kedi quotes

  • Unnamed Human Resident of Istanbul: I accept death as a reality but I have difficultydealing with the longing. That's my problem with death.

  • Bülent Üstün: Any ungrateful behavior on their part is really an act of sincerity. They don't need to apologize. I guess there are people who expect that from a cat. "I gave you all that food and you won't even sit on my lap". A relationship where they expect a return on an investment.
