A soap opera with a change of actors
Set in the 70s, the story begins with the engaged couple Züleyha and Yılmaz, who decide to hide their identity due to the murder he had committed to protect his beloved from sexual assault. For that first drama, they flee from Istanbul and arrive in the city of Çukurova, where the whole story took place.
The plot had several stages and several cast changes depending on the different moments of the fiction, except for the character of Züleyha who has never left the screen. Already in Çukurova (which is in the original title of the telenovela, Once upon a time in….), the protagonists in love pretend to be brothers to find a job.
Staying on the farm of matriarch Hünkar Yaman, the second drama begins, when the woman’s son, Demir, falls in love with Züleyha. And everything gets complicated.
That initial lie was the trigger for other lies, betrayals, fights, deaths and all kinds of traumatic situations for the protagonist and her environment. As the chapters go by, the story was running out of many of the central characters. And in their place others appeared new.
In that passing of years and chapters, Züleyha lost the love of her life, Yilmaz, and over time she fell in love with Demir (whom she hated for years), but in the end he too died, in this case murdered.
At the head of two children and a prosperous land, the long-suffering young woman who arrived in that small Turkish town with nothing, became an important businesswoman, respected by the entire community. Züleyha went from being frowned upon and abused to making important decisions for your family, your company and for the city itself.
An eternal season without cuts
With the change of season, that in Argentina no distinction was made and the plot flowed in one breathmany of the actors who played central characters left the soap opera, such as Yilmaz (Uğur Güneş) and Demir (Murat Ünalmış), but also others who played a pivotal role such as his mother-in-law Hünkar.
The heroine also had to endure several villains who followed each other in the plotresponsible for several actresses, always making her life impossible by trying to separate her from the men in her life.
In these nearly two years of events in Züleyha’s life, the protagonist was having new lovers.
now the story had its finishing touch this Mondaywith the good guys finding love and happiness and the bad guys getting their comeuppance, as happens in any self-respecting soap opera, something that Züleyha complied with the letter.
