That Girl
In the world of dreams and aspirations, young Zeynep yearns to break free from her humble origins and become a social media influencer. Yet, her journey to success is entwined with an unexpected role—caring for her father Kadir, whose mental and emotional age remains that of a 5-year-old. With his toy car, innocent jests, and childlike demeanor, Kadir dons the attire of an adult but wears the heart of a child. The origins of his unique condition trace back to a fateful umbilical cord entanglement during his prenatal days—a test, perhaps, both for his parents and his own offspring, as Zeynep’s grandfather often reminds her.

She yearns to distance herself from her uncle’s blame and her aunt’s suppressed exhaustion, along with the burden of impossibilities and the shackles of poverty. Employed as a house cleaner in the residence of influencer Ozan, Zeynep is magnetically drawn to his lifestyle, aspiring to emulate his success. However, fate takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Sitare, a formidable businesswoman who not only runs an agency but also commands a roster of social media influencers. Unbeknown to many, Sitare holds another significant role—Ozan’s clandestine romantic partner.
Amidst the pursuit of dreams and the complexities of life, «Zeynep’s Journey» unravels a captivating tale of ambition, family dynamics, and the unforeseen connections that redefine destinies. As Zeynep navigates the worlds of influence and adversity, she’s about to discover that her journey is intricately woven with threads of love, resilience, and the power of embracing the unexpected.
