Post Description

Living on the fourth floor of Emniyet Apartment Building, Mr. Mithat has, against all threats he has faced, managed to protect his collection, which he has been working on since years and that has left him with only a small space to live in. Any piece that he searches for to maintain the coherence of the collection could lead him anywhere in Istanbul. For Mr. Mithat, Istanbul is as unlimited as his collection.

For Ali, Istanbul is limited with Emniyet Apartment Building and its surrounddings. Coming from the village to Istanbul, Ali started to work as concierge in the apartment , and when his daughter contracted asthma due to the humidity in the concierge`s floor, Ali sent his family back to their home in the village for a while until the conditions were ameliorated. When the other tenants of the apartment building, out of fear of an earthquake and with the ambition to own a more valuable building, prefer to have the building demolished to be rebuilt again, Mr Mithat begins the most challenging of wars he gave for his collection. The building now ist he shared destiny of these two men who live alone. Their relationship that begins for the intactness of the collection takes on a different level with Mr. Mithat turning Istanbul over to Ali, and it ends where they change each other`s destinies unknowingly.

Emniyet Apartmani’nin dördüncü katinda yasayan Mithat Bey, yillardir biriktirdigi, evinde kendisine sadece küçük bir yasam alani birakan koleksiyonlarini o güne kadar karsisina çikan her türlü tehdite karsi korumayi basarmistir. Koleksiyonunun devamliligini bozmamak için aradigi herhangi bir parça onu Istanbul’un her kösesine götürebilir. Mithat Bey için Istanbul onun koleksiyonu kadar sinirsizdir.

Ali için Istanbul, Emniyet Apartmani ve çevresiyle sinirlidir. Köyünden Istanbul’a geldiginde apartmana kapici olarak giren Ali, kizi kapici dairesindeki rutubetten astima yakalaninca, daha iyi kosullar saglayana kadar bir süre önce ailesini köye geri yollamistir. Apartmanin diger sakinleri deprem endisesi ve daha degerli bir eve sahip olma istegiyle binayi yikip yeniden insaa etmeyi tercih edince, Mithat Bey’in koleksiyonlari ugruna verdigi savaslarin en zorlusu baslar. Bina yikilirsa Mithat Bey koleksiyonlarini kaybedecektir, Ali de hem evini, hem isini. Artik apartman, yalniz yasayan bu iki adamin ortak kaderidir. Koleksiyonun devamliligi için baslayan iliskileri, Mithat Bey’in Ali’ye Istanbul’u devretmesiyle farkli bir boyuta geçer, birbirlerinin kaderlerini farketmeden degistirdikleri bir noktada biter.
