About Leyla Once Again
Umut, a strange, introverted, born young man, lives with his mother Leyla in a slum in Istanbul Esenler, and works as an apprentice in an auto repair shop. Realizing that her mother has been acting strangely recently, Umut begins to follow her secretly and learns that Leyla is with a man. The facts about the identity of this man will turn Umut's life upside down ... In the second part of the film, a completely different Umut goes after a completely different Leyla ...
Directed by Barış Hancıoğulları, Leyla Once Again leans on a strong ensemble — Meli Bendeli, Ayfer Dönmez, Cem Zeynel Kılıç — 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 2020.
