Synopsis:

“Yıldız Movie Theater” opened in the early 1950s in what was once the city center of Izmir. Since the early 2000s, many immigrants inhabited these neighborhoods; the so-called Basmane part of the city quickly became known as a male-dominated and marginalized area. An enclosed soccer field and a billiards saloon is all that is left from the cinema.
