Dialogue:
Turkish
Mahsun is unemployed and lives on the street. He steals cars either to find a warm place to sleep in or to satisfy his yearning for high technology. One day, he overhears a TV crew outside Rumelihisar Castle, talking about the peacocks that Mehmet the Conqueror had brought from Iran and put in the Castle, since it was believed that the peacock was a symbol of prosperity, fertility and protection against evil. Mahsun will eventually steal one of the peacocks, but his luck will not change. He will continue to steal cars and be hounded by the police, he will fall in love with a young heroin addict. Stealing a second peacock, Mashun will attract the attention of the media and, ironically, the destitute Mashun will have his 15 minutes of fame.
