Thousands of cats roam the streets of Istanbul every day. They belong to no one and yet are an integral part of society. Free, independent and proud, they have lived among people for many years, giving them peace and joy, but never allowing themselves to be owned. Ceyda Torun's fascinating documentary accompanies seven of them through their everyday lives, each of them unique and with an extraordinary temperament. The camera follows them through lively markets, sunny alleyways, harbors and over the rooftops of the city - and captures their special relationship with the people whose lives they have a lasting impact on.
