Yeni Hayat

Orhan, who has spent his entire life striving to be successful in his career, is unexpectedly dismissed from his job. Orhan, who was so devoted to his job that he had no social life and had never considered marriage, regrets all the things he gave up for his career. He had sacrificed everything for his job, but after the company decided to lay him off because they deemed him insufficient, he resolves to find a social activity to alleviate his regrets and decides to join a cooking class to socialize. On the first day of the cooking class, he meets a charming woman named Şirin, and his journey to savor life begins with her.

Directed by Serkan Acar, Yeni Hayat leans on a strong ensemble — Tayanç Ayaydın, Gülçin Santırcıoğlu, Sabriye Kara — 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 comedy titles of 2015.
