Our Story, Woman and Forbidden Fruit, three of Calinos Entertainment’s offerings, head the company’s slate for MIPTV this year.

All three titles “depict the lives of strong, independent and driven women who would stop at nothing to protect their families or their dreams,” says Ismail Dursunov, deputy general manager. Our Story, an adaptation of Shameless, follows Filiz as she struggles to take care of her five younger siblings in the wake of her father’s alcoholism and mother’s abandonment. In Woman, a young widow grapples with her beloved husband’s death while trying to keep her children’s spirits up despite the poverty and loss that surrounds them. Forbidden Fruit tells the tale of two sisters, Zeynep and Yildiz, the latter of whom chases the glitz and glamor of Istanbul’s high society while her career-minded younger sister gets caught up in a life-altering chain of events.

“Our aim is to strengthen our relationships with our current customers and establish new ones with potential customers,” adds Dursunov.
