Leyla Everlasting

Adem (Haluk Bilginer) and Leyla (Demet Akbag) have enjoyed a long marriage when we meet them in LEYLA EVERLASTING. Both in their 60s, they consult a clueless and self absorbed marriage therapist named Nergis (Elcin Sangu). "I don't like to think. It's not good for my brain," she complains. "I feel depressed when I think about anything but myself," she also admits. Therapy is further complicated by the fact that Nergis and Adem are having a torrid affair. He wants a divorce from Leyla, as well as all their money, and decides that arranging a fatal "accident" for Leyla would clear the way for marriage with the far younger therapist. After Leyla survives nine comic attempts on her life, including death by falling grandfather clock, we learn she's an immortal, the woman created before Eve, also known as Lilith, and she has been through this all before. Will Adem ever be free?
