Le chemin de l'olivier

The three main stars bring some impressive acting chops to this series, but for me the storyline that was the big draw was the one between...Ada, Toprak and Selim. Although the slow burn between Sevgi and Fikret is the storyline I was really rooting for.

At the heart of this story is a very close friendship between three friends...successful surgeon Ada, lawyer Sevgi and social media influencer/mom Leyla. The story begins with Sevgi's cancer treatment no longer working. She ropes her friends into exploring a more spiritual form of healing in Ayvalik with a healer who delves into your family's past wounds. Eventually he spiritually touches all three women and exposes wounds from their pasts which is affecting their lives in the present.

The gorgeous setting in Ayvalik, Turkey is just one of the many reasons to watch this series that (thus-far) has only eight episodes. Which leads me to share that I wasn't thrilled with where the series ends. It is set up to go on to a second season...which I hope it does, but if this is the end I am sad because it ends on a pretty sad note for all three women.

I never Watch a movie twice. But this was so filled with great friendships and loyalty, beautiful sceneries, a touch of Turkish culture and psychological theories ( Freud theories on trauma and repression).

Short series.. Each episode touched a little deeper into each character. Because no matter how much we love our friends we all have little secrets, both known and unknown.. our past creates who we are today, like a ripple effect through generations. Some stories were probably far reaching but made a good story that relates to Freudian theory. Let's be honest most of our lives wouldn't be interesting enough to become a movie.

Emotions can effect out health and out hi-Story. Our decisions do make long term impact. Even True love can get messy because no one is a Disney movie.

I enjoyed strong bold storyline, the cast was great and the main actress incredible. Definitely makes you think about how your past effects your present.

Tuba offers us everything that is beautiful and delicate.. wonderful. I always love watching her... and consider her a Hollywood star with her elegant and classy acting.

Incredible story to helps us examine more possibilities in the treatment of deadly health issues and the healing of ourselves beyond the medical component. Thank you for this series to help enlighten and encourage those dealing with seemingly impossible circumstances in health issues. Bravo to the talented and beautiful actors who presented it, especially Tuba and Murat for their dramatic roles. Definitely a ten for this health crisis survivor!
