2020 Adana Most Promising Actor (A.M. Yılmaz)

Umut, a strange young man who was born mute but not deaf, lives with his mother Leyla in a poor neighbourhood of İstanbul. Recently feeling that there’s something odd going on with Leyla, Umut starts to secretly follow her to find out that she meets with a man, totally stranger to him. When this man’s true identity is revealed, Umut’s world turns upside down.

Coming with an unexpected twist, the second part of the film tells the story of another Umut pursuing another Leyla.
