Galata

In the aftermath of the scandal involving leaked erotic videos, renowned model Sevda and Dr. Yusuf, seeking an escape from the monotonous walls of his routine life, coincidentally meet after Yusuf leaves home following a heated argument with his wife. What starts as a chance encounter evolves into walks through the streets of Galata under the pretext of Yusuf’s documentary film project. As the duo explores the intricacies of the city, they embark on a profound questioning of life, relationships, beliefs, and societal polarization through Sevda’s scandals and Yusuf’s relationship with his wife Aysel. Two marginalized characters begin to discuss the unconventional nature of the relationship that develops between them as the story progresses.

Directed by Kenan Mansur Doğru, Umut Osman Demirkol, Galata leans on a strong ensemble — Suyumbige Dadalı, Sarp Bozkurt, Eda Nur Hancı — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
