I can surely say that this film is the most impressive of Zeki Demirkubuz's films ("Innocence" is also very good, though. Hard to make a decision between these two, I guess.).
Shortly, a young guy from the suburbs, without many expectations from life, struggles against all the hardships that come up "just" to survive, while life is constantly overwhelming him in the most brutal way, leaving no way out in the end, but suicide as there is no "third page" or let's say, no possibility of new beginnings in this context, where one is doomed to be in perpetual poverty, trouble and anguish.
Demirkubuz creates an excellent dramatic atmosphere, which is realistic in the sense that the film reflects another face of Turkish context (whether some like it or not, yeah, it is real. Nevertheless, it should not be generalized) through its strong main characters as well as its suburban background. Besides, it is obviously self-reflective in the shooting scenes of a Turkish TV series.
Of course, you will not find much nihilism or absurd-ism like in "Yazgi", and you are not supposed to. However, you will certainly find the sincere reflection of the lives of many "little" people living among us, mostly being unnoticed, and in a sense, it could be helpful to raise our awareness of people on the other side of life.
