Kendal's story is a cycle marked by sharp turns, starting from the streets of Beyoğlu to his mother's home in Esenyurt and onward to Diyarbakır. "A Statue for Kendal" is a docufiction experiment that looks beyond a character defined by solvent addiction, focusing instead on his invisible bonds with the city, his bodily existence, and his ways of holding on to life on the streets.
