Synopsis
Öznur is twenty years old and sells lottery tickets in the street for seven years. Her parents had no means to allow her to finish her studies and she dreams of becoming an actor. Baris, twenty five years, is an university graduate of Istanbul, fascinated by the question of the European integration for Turkey. At thirty, Tan left Paris and the French national Ballet to open in Istanbul a dancing school and begin a career as an actor. By mixing these three contrasted fates, the movie reflects the cultural and social diversity of Istanbul, the hopes and the fears of its inhabitants nested near Europe.

Tender Age, by Julien Gaspar-Oliveri
Sixteen-year-old Diane exists exclusively through her mother's gaze. But this intensely close bond between Diane and her mother, Sophie, is becoming increasingly problematic for the teenager. At high school, she would like to be loved like she is at home and expresses it in an awkward way like when she exchanges a favor for a look, in the toilets. A loudmouth, provocative, and seeking attention, Diane tries to stand apart from her mother and wishes, during a weekend, to live like an adult.
