Netflix’s “Cici” directed by Berkun Oya, is a Turkish drama that revolves around a family that moves away from their hometown and migrates to the city after suffering a tragic loss. Fast forward 30 years later, an estranged family reunites in their hometown. Soon, some deep-seated emotions and painful secrets will come to light that will either tear them apart for good or bring them closer than ever.
The dramatic and sentimental narrative of the Turkish film is complemented by impressive performances by talented actors such as Ayça Bingöl, Funda Eryiğit, Fatih Artman, Yilmaz Erdogan, and Okan Yalabik. In addition, the backdrops of the bustling city and the picturesque countryside make one wonder where “Cici” was shot.
Where Was Cici Movie Filmed?
“Cici” was shot entirely in Turkey, specifically in Istanbul. Principal photography for the drama film has apparently taken place in late 2021. Officially known as the Republic of Turkey, it is a transcontinental country in Western Asia, with a small part also located in Southeastern Europe.
Turkey is considered a regional power and its economy is among the developing and growing economies. Not only that, it is one of the most visited countries in the world.

Most of the key sequences for “Cici” were ostensibly shot in and around Istanbul, Turkey’s largest city. From the looks of it, the film crew traveled around the city and nearby regions, including the countryside, to record various scenes against suitable backdrops. Istanbul is located in northwestern Turkey and serves as the cultural, economic, and historical center of the country.
