Beta Film has also sold the Ay Yapim production successfully around Europe and overseas to the US, Canada, and Japan.

For his performance in the Turkish original version as the series antihero, Agâh, Haluk Bilginer has been awarded with the International Emmy® Award in 2019. In the second season, Agâh, who suffers from Alzheimer, regains his memories piece by piece when his daughter takes him into her care.

Season 1 is produced for Puhu TV, and season 2 for Gain. Beta Film handles international sales for both series.
