About ‘Gölgede 39 Derece‘
Kumru is a young, ambitious lawyer who has adapted to the hustle and bustle of Istanbul after moving there. Punctuality is her middle name. Fatih, on the other hand, was born and raised in the laid-back city of Izmir, reflecting its calm character. As events unfold, Kumru finds herself back in Izmir, handling a high-profile divorce case that could make or break her career. Her path crosses with Fatih’s, and their clashing personalities lead to an unexpected partnership.
With only eight hours to gather evidence against a cheating spouse, conclude the case, visit Kumru’s quirky mother, get Fatih’s musician friends to a concert, and attend a wedding, the duo races through the streets of Izmir. Their plans and lives change in ways they never anticipated.
