Leyla's Journey is a captivating tale of an elderly lady, Leyla, who finds herself forced to leave her ancestral home after it is sold by the bank to a wealthy magnate and his ambitious wife.

With nowhere else to turn, she seeks refuge with her gardener's son, Yusuf, in the vibrant Cihangir neighborhood of Istanbul.

As Leyla navigates this unfamiliar world, she encounters a cast of colorful characters, including Roxy, the hip-hop singer and daughter of Turkish immigrants in Germany, who is initially resistant to Leyla's presence.

With a backdrop of modern Istanbul and the late Ottoman Empire, Leyla's Journey is a moving and thought-provoking exploration of identity, belonging, and the power of human connection.
