About Playroom (Evcilik)
Fırat and Filiz, a couple stuck in the monotony of their marriage, decide to rekindle their relationship by escaping to a small Aegean hotel named Evcilik—meaning “Playing House.” What begins as a romantic game quickly unravels, forcing them to confront buried desires, class divides, and emotional wounds.
With sharp dialogue and psychological depth, Ümit Ünal’s Playroom dissects modern relationships and the illusions people build to survive them.
