Somersault in a Coffin
Directed by Derviş Zaim
Produced by Istisnai Filmler ve Reklamlar (IFR)
A melancholic portrait of a homeless man's survival and small acts of dignity in Istanbul's margins, where stealing cars becomes both necessity and fleeting escape.
Mahsun Supertitiz is an unemployed homeless man who steals cars at night so that he can sleep in a heated place during the winter. Mahsun lives in Rumelihisar, an old section of Istanbul, and makes ends meet by getting the local fishermen to help him. Mahsun loves the cars he robs, cleans and polishes them, and drives them through the streets of Rumelihisar during the daytime.
