Street Sentries

It is the English translation of the Sokak Nöbetçileri book series written by Aslı Arslan and loved by many young people.

Helin Aktan, who was severely injured in her childhood and was recruited into the team by Koza when she was only seventeen, is sent as an agent to the Street Sentries for her last mission. However, she is unaware that she will meet five people who are as injured as her on this path. She encounters a scene she does not expect or recognize; a family that grew up on the streets stands before her.

Yankı who is the head and brain of family,
Bartu who is strength and mercy of family,
Lâl who is legs and silence of family,
Twins Mutlu and Işık who are hands and colours of family.

Realizing that she has lost her own identity with the pieces she sees in those people, Helin takes a brush in her hand and slowly begins to place herself in this painting. The love she has never known before and encounters for the first time awaits her in this painting.

We are six adults, all over twenty. We are six children, all under ten. They were my first playmates, the beginning of my earliest childhood dreams and my first real joys. They had started to become every part of me, and I could no longer measure my gratitude to them.

"Save your past; that child hasn't forgotten you. Restart the fire; ashes are the compass of your future." -Street Sentries

"Forget your past, that child can no longer be saved; scatter your ashes, a new fire will destroy your future." -The Onlys

"What will happen to your constantly shaking voice? Your constantly shaking hands and knees? Helin, what will I do with you?"
