Rosinante / Rosinante
A young couple, Salih and Ayşe, live with their six-year-old son who never talks in a neighborhood in Istanbul that is about to undergo urban transformation. Salih, who works as a white-collar worker, is laid off unexpectedly. Ayşe, who sells insurance over the phone, switches to working from home. The family, who have difficulty paying the rent of the house they live in, start looking for a house that fits their budget. When Salih learns that there is a business model where he can transport passengers with his motorcycle, he immediately signs up. Ayşe, who hides herself under a helmet to earn extra income, works in turns with her husband. While working on their motorcycle, which they call ‘Rosinante’, the couple encounters a completely different Istanbul. Their lives take a completely different turn when Rosinante is stolen.
