Taşkafa is a real dog and also a legend on the streets of Istanbul. John Berger begins Taşkafa's story, reading from his novel, King, the story of the disappearance of a community told from a dog's perspective. The area's ordinary people – taxi drivers, shopkeepers, street traders – care deeply about the welfare of the city's street dogs and they tell us stories about Taşkafa and their other canine neighbours. The animals are a symbol of community living, where people (and dogs) look out for each other, but this is a community in transition; one from which dogs are starting to be expelled. Eccentric, amusing and very warm, the film is a powerful indictment of the impact of global politics and the economic appropriation of public space but, even more, it is a tribute to both the spirit of resistance and to city life that can accommodate people and dogs together.
