Turkish TV drama Cam Tavanlar is very likely to leave its mark on the summer screens. So, “Cam Tavanlar” is the Turkish version of the sociological term “Glass Ceiling”. Therefore, as the term refers, the series is going to focus on women’s inequality in social and working life.

This summer show on TV, the TV drama Cam Tavanlar, also brings together the two shining names of the young generation. The beautiful Turkish actress Bensu Soral and the charming Turkish actor Kubilay Aka will offer a watching pleasure to all of us. And besides, the story will make us reconsider the gender roles in both social and working life.
TV Drama Cam Tavanlar
First of all, it is quite hard to define the genre of the series. We can both call it another cliche summer love story that develops between a rich man a poor woman. Yet, on the other hand, we can also call it a critical drama that narrates an invisible barrier that prevents a given demographic (typically applied to women) from rising beyond a certain level in a hierarchy.*

So, as for the story of the series, it is as follows… Leyla (played by Bensu Soral) is a business person with ideals. She is a hardworking woman who has risen through her own efforts in business life. Cem (played by Kubilay Aka), on the other hand, is the son of a prestigious family and he got everything he wanted without effort. Leyla’s dreams for years are shattered when she meets Cem, the son of a prestigious and wealthy family. Tension begins between Cem and Leyla. So, the real question is that who will be the winner of this battle between the two. But of course, the cliche part appears again: Cem and Leyla fall into the trap of love.

Bonus for Those Who May Wonder: What is “Glass Ceiling” Really?
First of all, the glass ceiling is a metaphor. So, this metaphor represents an invisible barrier that prevents a given demographic (typically applied to women) from rising beyond a certain level in a hierarchy. It was feminists who used this concept first. The political and sociological concept, mostly used in the US, also represents other minority groups, such as black people in the country or non-white people.
