2023as Nazmiye Eyüboğlu
Ates Kuslari is a moving Turkish family drama about street children, survival, and the powerful bonds created by hardship.

Their choice pulls them into danger when Çatal and the baby’s powerful family connections bring violence into their lives. Forced to flee and protect one another, the children create a new identity as siblings. Years later, the truth about Gülayşe’s origins and the secrets surrounding her kidnapping threaten everything they built. Ates Kuslari is a story of found family, sacrifice, and hope.

2017as Saadet
In one of Istanbul’s most dangerous districts, a neighbourhood known simply as “The Pit,” the Koçovarlı family has ruled with iron discipline for generations. Their law is the only law, and their protection is the only reason the streets have not descended into total chaos. But when a powerful new player emerges — armed with foreign backing and a ruthless ambition — the family’s grip begins to slip. The patriarch knows there is only one person who can save them: his youngest son Yamaç, who fled years ago to escape the very life he was born into. Yamaç has built a new identity far from the blood and smoke of The Pit, but the call of family, honour, and the streets that raised him pulls him back with the force of a tidal wave. What follows is a brutal, Shakespearean saga of loyalty, betrayal, and the cost of power. In The Pit, the only way out is down, and every victory tastes like ash. A landmark Turkish crime drama that redefined the genre.
Sila
