Eccho Rights have signed up the exclusive world-wide distribution rights for the Turkish hit series My Home, My Destiny (Doğduğun Ev Kaderindir). The series is produced by OGM Pictures for TV8 in Turkey with star actors Demet Özdemir and İbrahim Çelikkol in the lead roles and has already scored top ratings and a huge fan following in the domestic market.

The series follows Zeynep who is born into a poor family and has few opportunities in life. Her father is an alcoholic, her mother weak and her brother dies due to lack of medical treatment. Her fortunes change when the family that employs her mother as a cleaning lady offers to adopt the young girl. Her parents agree in the hope of giving their daughter a better life. She will learn, be loved and be surrounded by beautiful things; but she always carries a feeling of not belonging. The poor and innocent Zeynep turns into a clever, educated and beautiful young woman, engaged to be married to a dream man from the top of society. However, this fairy tale will come to a shocking end when her birth mother shows up, seeking to regain control of her daughter’s life and bring her back to the home where she was born. Dragged back into a world she had left behind, this isn’t life as Zeynep knows it, but her return home is full of lessons and surprises, and a meeting of hearts has the potential to change everything.

The series has already been confirmed for a second season. The producer is Onur Güvenatam, the executive producer behind cutting edge series like The Gift and The Protector, both Turkish Netflix originals, as well as long-running hit series Wounded Love (Kanal D) and A Part of Me (Star TV).

“We are very happy to bring this exceptional series to international audiences. While having a strong love story at the core, Zeynep’s journey touches on a lot of very important themes like the concept of belonging, identity and home that will resonate all over the world,” said Handan Özkubat, Director of Turkish Drama at Eccho Rights.
