MIPCOM Spotlight: Calinos Entertainment

Based on a Japanese format, Woman tells the story of Bahar, a young widow who has to endure all life’s hardships alone with only her two kids by her side, and Calinos Entertainment is shopping that title at MIPCOM.

Our Story is also adapted from a format, Shameless. The Turkish drama centers on a woman who has been struggling to survive in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Istanbul while looking after her younger siblings and their alcoholic father. “Our Story and Woman have been two of the most-talked-about and best-rated TV series in Turkey,” says Asli Serim Guliyev, international sales director at Calinos Entertainment.

Forbidden Fruit, meanwhile, follows two sisters with different values and goals. There is Yildiz, who is about to make the most important decision of her life, and Zeynep, who is about to get involved in a life-altering chain of events.

She adds, “All of these stories depict the lives of strong, independent and driven women who would stop at nothing to protect their families or their dreams.”
