    It was a great honor for us to present *Broken Years* at the 30th Filmfestival Türkei Deutschland and to meet the audience together with our lead actor, Yetkin Dikinciler, for a special Q&A session.

    The post-screening discussion turned into a truly memorable and meaningful experience, deepening the connection between the film and its audience.

    We sincerely thank the festival team for their hospitality and all the viewers for their warm interest and engagement.
