Wander the bustling streets of Istanbul through the perspectives of three charismatic stray dogs— Zeytin, Nazar and Kartal—as they embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish life. Their search for companionship will take you in, out and around all those that occupy the city, including a group of young Syrians who share the streets with them. With the current calamities of the economy and climate crisis, what can these transient canines reflect to us about the human condition, and the corners of society that often get overlooked? Perhaps a different point of view can offer up the compassion and connection we all need, now more than ever. Prized Best International Feature at Hot Docs 2020, Stray is a beautiful sensory voyage into new ways of seeing, and a tender love letter to the animals we share our lives with.
