About

Every morning in Tarlabaşı, a kind collector pulls his little wooden cart into the streets of Istanbul, with his cat Pamuk trotting beside him.

Rummage through bins, sort paper, cardboard and metal, sell to the scrap dealer and grow from a wooden handcart into the finest cart in the city.

BUT EVERY BIN HIDES A STORY Now and then you find something special: an old ferry token, a shellac record, a silver pocket watch. Take them to the antique dealer in Çukurcuma to be appraised and complete your albums of old Istanbul.

RETURN LOST TREASURES Some items have owners. Find Uncle Hasan whose ferry token brought him luck for 40 years, the barber who can't cut hair without his radio, the kid who lost his champion marble… Return them, earn the neighborhood's respect and unlock 20 warm, funny stories.
