action
Ali Osman and his friends were once the rulers of the streets, the protectors of the weak. But the rough times are long gone. The revolvers with which they fought for justice have long been exchanged for board games and a peaceful retirement life.
Ali Osman's son is in serious trouble with Devran, a member of the drug mafia. The unequal young men fight for the same girl.
For Ali Osman, his son's affair quickly becomes a matter of honor. Devran's vigilante justice violates Ali Osman's code of ethics on the streets. Devran too soon realizes that the old gentleman has lost none of the fighting spirit for which he was once so feared. In the end, Ali Osman defeats Mafioso Devran.
Reviews
“The sometimes schematic thriller plays classic genre moments between grumpy monosyllables and the restrained tendency to be human as a discourse about contemporary cynicism and traditional codes of honor and asks questions about the relationship between macho and" real man ", whereby a homosexual figure of identification comes into play.
