Hayattan Korkma

The film tells the story of three families who produce enough to sustain themselves in a small town and live off what they produce. Talat, who runs a dairy farm, Bedrettin, who raises chickens, and Rıfkı, who bakes bread in the bakery he inherited from his father, are three friends who have lived in the same town since birth, raised their children together, and have never been apart since childhood. When Talat's child falls ill, life begins to change suddenly. The most important message the film conveys to the audience is defined as "hope."

Directed by Berrin Dağçınar, Hayattan Korkma leans on a strong ensemble — Zeki Alasya, Tarık Papuççuoğlu, Hakan Boyav — 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 2008.
