The announcement hit the circuits earlier today: Mucadele Cikmazi ("Struggle Alley") will have its global premiere on Netflix on March 15, 2021! As reported by Thomas Miller in Seat42f.com, here is the summary of the movie*: Struggle Alley [film] – Starring Cagatay Ulusoy, together with Emir Ali Dogrul, the film is directed by the talented Can Ulkay (Ayla) and produced by OGM Pictures. OGM Pictures/ founder Onur Guvenatam was also behind The Protector. The script is brought to life by Ercan Mehmet Erdem (Behzat C.). "An impoverish, old neighborhood in Istanbul, brutally shaped by emigration ... Mehmet is a cherished fellow who runs the solid waste warehouse in the neighborhood; he helps everyone in need - especially homeless children and teenagers since he was one too. Mehmet's biggest supporter is Tahsin, who has been helping him and those in need for a very long time. One day Mehmet meets an 8 year old boy (Ali) who suddenly appears in his best mate Gonzales' waste sack. Mehmet suddenly has the urge to reunite the boy with his parents; however, he doesn't realize he becomes attached to this 8 year old child." * The movie has since been renamed to "Paper Lives/ Kagittan Hayatlar" and will stream on Netflix on March 12. See here for trailer. And here is the announcement made by Director Can Ulkay on his Instagram account: What we know so far: From behind the scenes photos of the filming, we know that the cast includes a lot of child actors, on top of a few main members of the cast.
