Kursun
2019as Acting
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.
