Keler

This is the story of Durmuş and Dudu, who live in a remote mountain village. Durmuş, who is blind in one eye and has difficulty walking, dreams of escaping the village and starting a new life. While searching for treasure, he also writes letters to his childhood sweetheart, Cennet. Durmuş's elderly and ill mother, who wants to marry him off out of concern for the future, has chosen Dudu as his bride: Dudu, who was born deaf, mute, and unable to speak. Though Dudu is Durmuş's only companion after his mother's sudden death, things become complicated when Cennet suddenly appears. Cennet's courage to embrace life despite her impending death will serve as a beacon for Durmuş and Dudu.

Directed by Yücel Can, Keler leans on a strong ensemble — Erol Babaoğlu, Elif Ürse, Goncagül Sunar — 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 2021.
