- Summary:
- When you lose everything, can a game save your dreams? The film takes place in Antalya, where welcomes more than ten million tourists every year. It follows two Afghan brothers: Sir (21), Allahverdi (17) who live in illegal housing together with around twenty other men. They all earn their lives from collecting the garbage (paper, plastic, cans) during the whole day and sell them to the boss the next morning. They wander around the city the whole day with their çekçeks - two wheeled transport vehicle - and try to be as invisible as possible due to the fear of deportation. Even though those three have totally different lives and expectations, they have one special thing in common: cricket. Cricket, an unusual sport for Turkey, is the biggest passion of those migrants, where they feel at home and forget all their troubles. Through the eyes of Afghan refugees in Turkey, we learn how cricket becomes a tool of resistance, while cricket field becomes a piece of home.
