For centuries, the streets of Istanbul have offered a home to thousands of feral cats. Following a wily cast of notorious felines and the locals who care for them, this documentary explores how these whiskered residents have shaped the rapidly changing metropolis they live in. Alongside amusing feline footage — cats snoozing contentedly on terrifyingly high window ledges, kittens scrapping in roadside cardboard boxes — Kedi deftly goes beyond that and offers eloquent insights into the modern city, animals, humans and the relationship between all three.
