Caracol Televisión and Inter Medya closed a co-production agreement and introduced the telenovela Leylifer to the international market

Caracol Televisión and Inter Medya announced a co-production agreement and introduced to the international market the telenovela Leylifer, produced by Âlim Yapım.

Shot in Turkey, it’s about Meryem, a young Colombian living in Spain. Her life takes a turn when she and her Turkish husband, Kemal, travel to Istanbul for a few days to attend the wedding of her sister-in-law and Kemal suddenly disappears, without telling anyone.

The wedding is cancelled and Kemal is later found dead in a burned car with a woman. Believing that Kemal was murdered, Meryem vows not to return to Spain until she finds the killer.

Alone in Istanbul, among the people who once rejected her because she was a stranger, she meets Aziz, the famous designer of the Leylifer ring that she wears. In a turn of destiny, their paths cross and they will live an unexpected love.

Starring the Cuban-American actress Camila Duarte, it includes an outstanding cast of Turkish actors with extensive international experience, such as Can Verel and Pervin Balcı, among others.

Lisette Osorio, VP of International Business at Caracol Televisión, highlighted: “Leylifer is the staging of two narrative powers: Colombia and Turkey. This, plus the production expertise that both companies have resulted in a premium drama that we know will generate great demand in the international market.”

Can Okan, founder, and CEO of Inter Medya, commented: “We are delighted to renew our partnership with Caracol TV as our long-standing partnership reaches new heights. With Leylifer, we embark on an extraordinary journey that celebrates the creative fusion between Colombia and Turkey.
