Ne Olacak Bu Yusuf Umut’un Hali



“I’m Yusuf Umut. Usually, when I say that, they ask which one I’m using. I say I don’t like either of them. That’s why I use both. My grandpa insisted on using Yusuf. It’s a prophet’s name, blessed. My mom wanted Umut. So, here I am, Yusuf Umut. That’s me.”

Yusuf Umut is narrating his own journey in pursuit of an undefined yet irresistible freedom. Will this freedom eventually bring Yusuf Umut closer to the environment he’s been searching for? Can it rescue him from the world of sofas, rules, and boundaries?

And let’s also ask from here:

What will become of Yusuf Umut?
