Synopsis:

Spanning the divide between Europe and Asia, Istanbul's gridlocked Bosphorus Bridge is the focal point of this wonderful portrait of life. Unemployed Fikret illegally sells roses in the traffic jam, and would do anything for a real job. Umit drives a taxi hoping that the work will allow him to rent a better apartment for his wife. Traffic cop Murat feels alone amongst the solid line of cars, each night logging onto the internet, hoping that he might find love. Unaware of each other, their lives intersect every day, along with millions of Istanbulites, coping with the challenges of life in this frenetic city - their stories are simple and universal.

Three Istanbulites live in the suburbs and commute into the city each day for work. Unfamiliar with each other, their dreams intersect in the rush hour traffic every day on the border between Asia and Europe.
