Cansu Dere & Global Agency Celebrate Launch of Turkish Drama Mother

CANNES: Global Agency took guests by helicopter to Nikki Beach in Monaco to celebrate the launch of the new drama series Mother, with lead actress Cansu Dere in attendance.

Dere, who is also a model, plays Zeynep, a young woman who has a fear of intimacy due to her being abandoned by her mother at a young age and growing up without a father. While working as a teacher, Zeynep meets Tuğçe, a positive, hardworking and cheerful child who will change her life forever.

Dere tells TV Drama that she was attracted to the role of Zeynep because of the character’s depth and the strength of her story. “When I am choosing my work, I specifically look for roles that have a lot of depth to them,” she says.

She acknowledges that Turkish dramas have been raising the bar in terms of their quality, and says that the country’s emotional cultural can be credited in part for how well the stories translate universally. “We live emotions very deeply. I believe that this drama will continue the success and the good reputation that Turkish dramas have.”
