Karadut
2024as Çetin Erdem
Karadut is a heartfelt Turkish family drama about sacrifice, delayed dreams, and the courage to begin again. Zuhal has spent most of her life caring for others, raising her siblings after her mother’s death and living under the strict authority of her father. By the time she reaches her forties, she has buried her own desires beneath duty, responsibility, and the weight of an old mistake. When love unexpectedly enters her life, Zuhal is forced to confront the loneliness she has accepted for years and the emotional wounds she never truly healed. As family pressure and personal longing collide, Karadut explores whether a woman who has always lived for others can finally choose happiness for herself.
Kursun
2019as Bünyamin Ayaz
Istanbul, 1970. The Bosphorus glitters, but beneath the surface, a city churns with political violence, organised crime, and a justice system buckling under the weight of corruption. Orhan is an idealistic young prosecutor who believes the law can be a shield for the powerless, a conviction that pits him against a dark underworld that has infiltrated every institution. Leyla is a fearless journalist whose pen is her only weapon, documenting truths that powerful men would kill to bury. When their investigations converge on the same explosive case, they become targets, allies, and, against all reason, lovers. The streets of Istanbul — from the warm chaos of neighbourhood life to the cold back rooms where fates are decided — form the backdrop to a story of courage, betrayal, and a love affair that dares to bloom in the shadow of a country on the brink. “Kurşun” — the bullet — is a taut, atmospheric thriller about two people who transformed the destiny of a nation simply by refusing to look away.
Muhtesem Ikili
2018as Feridun Barca
Istanbul’s police force has two legends who cannot stand the sight of each other. MKC is the European side’s slickest detective — suited, sophisticated, and insufferably smug. Mert Barca is the Anatolian side’s toughest officer — fists first, questions later, and allergic to protocol. Their mutual hatred is the stuff of precinct folklore, but when a massive drug operation exposes a common enemy with tentacles reaching deep into the city’s underworld, the chief hands down an ultimatum: partner up or find new careers. What follows is an explosive mix of action, comedy, and reluctant bromance as these polar opposites crash through Istanbul’s back alleys, safe houses, and high‑society parties, each convinced the other is the biggest threat to the mission. But as bullets fly and cover stories get personal, MKC and Mert Barca discover that the partner you despise might just be the only one who has your back when everything goes to hell. Starring İbrahim Çelikkol and Kerem Bürsin in a turbo‑charged homage to classic buddy‑cop films.
