Netflix’s “Don’t Leave” or “Kal” Directed by Ozan Açiktan, is a romantic drama that follows Semih, who is taken aback when his girlfriend breaks up with him out of the blue. Confused by the whole situation, he sets out to find answers to their relationship. Now Semih’s entire life is turned upside down as he is forced to face something he has been able to ignore until now.
The dramatic narrative is complemented by impressive performances from a group of talented actors and actresses including Burak Deniz, Dilan Çiçek Deniz, Ersin Arici, Ceyda Düvenci, and Sükran Ovali. The strong theme of self-reflection, as Semih hates the breakup as much as his ex, makes for an interesting watch. Moreover, the transition in the landscape during the film reflects the change in Semih’s life. So it’s natural to wonder where the movie Don’t Leave was filmed.
