CAN YAMAN IN HIS OUTSTANDING role FRANCESCO DEMIR
Italian mother and Turkish father, Francesco Demir loves two things. Palermo, the city where he has lived for many years and his work. He is the Chief Inspector of Police and has an innate talent, which also allows him to take it easy, so much that he already has the answer in his pocket. Impulsive, Passionate, but above all refractory to the rules. He doesn’t think twice when it comes to reaching out the goal, even if it means going against all regulations and skipping procedures, which often ends up getting him into trouble. Actually Demir also loves a third thing: women. All. He especially loves flirting with them, and he’s damned good at it too. Outspoken, provocative, flattering. And sincere. He doesn’t promise you great love and then cheat you, he doesn’t tell you I’ll marry you just to sleep with you. Francesco simply doesn’t believe in stable relationships and marriage, exactly the opposite of Viola who instead dreams of love and seeks her “forever” love.

Viola and Francesco are poles apart and their irreconcilable visions of life will be a source of attraction: Viola wants to get married, she is a positive dreamer, while Francesco is disenchanted and in search of temporary relationships.
The audience will be impressed by their chemistry. Silvia Leuzzi screenwriter – LUX VIDE
Viola Come il Mare is a project made to continue over the years. Viola and Demir are two characters full of stories to tell … we hope that the public will love them as we love them and that they will give us the opportunity to be together for a very long time.
