Hicbir Yere Cikmayan Yol

Hicbir Yere Cikmayan Yol

Zeynep is a lonely woman in her 60s who was an award-winning leading actress in the cinema industry but nobody remembers her anymore. Zeynep took her acting career to the top with the ambition of youth in those years, but she saw having a child while her husband was still alive as an obstacle to her own career. For Zeynep, who gradually lost her career and the chance to become a family with the death of her husband Said, the fact that she was alone in life turned her into an unhappy person. Zeynep, who is looking for true happiness and peace but cannot find it, follows the advice of her psychologist and gives a room in her house to a young girl who will befriend her. Nazli, who grew up with no one and drag her life by her own bootstraps, aspires to Zeynep's room. Zeynep accepts Nazli into her house and without hesitation puts Nazli in the place of the child she never had, she does not even demand the price of the room she stays in. Zeynep's attention is drawn to the Turkish translation of the Quran, which Nazli reads from time to time. She reads the translation of the Qur'an with longing as if he is talking to a relative he has not seen for years, and tastes the peace that he sought but could not find for the first time in his life. However, Nazli's inexperienced, uneducated personality will be enough to disturb the peace they have caught. Nazli is deceived by a so-called movie director punk who hooks her with the lies "I will make you an actress". Zeynep's awareness of the situation and her efforts to help Nazli, who she has put in her place for her daughter who never existed, will not be able to prevent fate. Regardless, Zeynep and Nazli's lives intersect on this road that leads to nowhere, and they forgive each other for discovering true peace, albeit late.
