Synopsis
Fehmi is an aspiring young rapper from a slum of Istanbul where the Hip-hop subculture is the voice of the youth. Fehmi dreams of making a successful rap album, despite the disapproval of his family. Fehmi’s addiction to the deadly drug ‘bonzai’ jeopardises his burgeoning rap career. He comes to terms that he needs to quit, yet it’s a challenging pursuit. We witness Fehmi’s struggle through his relationships with his first love Devin, his gay brother Erdem and his band-mate Yunus. The process is an emotional roller coaster for everyone involved. Fehmi holds onto his passion for rap to stay strong in this rough journey.
