Unknown Continent

Merve is a former athlete living on the Anatolian side of Istanbul who makes a living by selling doping substances. Upon receiving the news of her father’s passing in Belgium, she is forced to make a choice between two continents. This decision will also mean losing one of the two people she loves.

Directed by Murat Arda Gürsoy, Unknown Continent leans on a strong ensemble — Ilgıt Uçum, Zeynep Su Topal, İpek Sobutay — 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.
