What is the English language plot outline for Rosinante (2023)?

movie

Living in a metropolis is actually holding on to a possibility. To the possibility of things going well, meeting interesting people, discovering a new street, having a different choice, and perhaps most likely to start over again... No one would like to leave a metropolis without using all these possibilities up.

For Salih and Ayse, who have lived a white-collar life in Istanbul for years, life is like a harsh song with an unknown tune... Like their colleagues living in other geographies of the world, they realized that what they thought promised a safe future is a new form of slavery. The new generation that came after them said yes to much lower salaries than them, and became the sought-after employees of the market, with conditions getting tougher day by day. While the system is throwing up experienced employees like bile, a new generation has taken their place. Still, Salih goes to a different company for a job interview every day with hope. For Ayse, the situation is a little different. She saw that she could not do the job she wanted, she started working in a call center. She's been trying to sell insurance on the phone for hours. Maybe life would have been easier if there were only two of them... But they have a son, Emre, who has never spoken, even though he is six years old. Their lives can no longer continue in a way that they could afford with the salaries they received in their old jobs. They cannot afford the rent of the house they live in, and when Emre's psychologist expense is added, they are stuck. On the one hand, they are packing and looking for a suitable house for rent, on the other hand they are looking for a job for Salih.

When he again comes out empty-handed from a job interview, Salih learns that there is a new line of business called motorcycle taxi driver. A few months after he was fired, he sold his car to buy some more time. Since then, the motorcycle they call Rosinante is the family's only transportation. Salih begins the motorcycle taxi business and carries people from different layers of Istanbul on his back seat. After years, he becomes an Istanbuler with them. At the same time Ayse, on the other hand, is being transferred to the home office system. This is the last exit before being fired. She knows that they will give the most impossible customers, and as her scores drop, she will eventually be out of work. With a sudden decision, Ayse puts on Salih's motorcycle helmet, puts on his clothes and starts taxiing at nights. She succeeds at first... They registered the system with Salih's name, so Ayse has to pretend as Salih while working as a motorcycle taxi driver. She never opens the helmet so that it is not understood that she is a woman, and does not talk to passengers. She is silent consciously, like her son. For the first time, she can understand her son a little. She gets used to it gradually...

The days when Ayse experience the inevitable coincide with the period when Salih gets sick and stays at home. Ayse is unemployed, Salih is sick at home, all household items have been packed to move, but a new place has not been rented. Emre is crankier than ever, as if feeling the despair of his parents... Life has turned into a nightmare where they are stuck in the boxes accumulated inside the house. While Salih is dealing with his son and household chores at home, Ayse earns the bread.

Until their motorcycle is stolen... There is no Rosinante. Now they have to walk to fight the windmills. When they get off Rosinante, they realize that their armor is made of tin. The only thing they can hold on to is small odds... the possibility of finding a new job, the possibility of their son speaking, the possibility of finding Rosinante in a city of sixteen million people...
