"One night in Istanbul. 5 tales. There is one thing that brings together these seemingly distant stories: They all strangely resemble some old fairy tales. The fate, as Borges puts it, is partial to repetitions and variations. She turns an old Gypsy clarinet player into Pied Piper. Cinderella becomes an unfortunate prostitute. Little Red Riding Hood is a mafia courier. Escaping from a kill, Snow White meets the 8th dwarf in the city jungle. A young Kurdish Man, an newcomer in Istanbul meets the Sleeping Beauty. Five famous tales appear briefly in Istanbul night. The magic of tales glitters even in very ordinary lives. Istanbul Tales is actually one continuous story, although it has been directed by five directors. It is a controversial tribute to Istanbul, the city of tales."--DVD container.
