Each new episode of the TV series Bir Küçük Gün Işığı (A Little Sunshine), which is broadcast on the ATV screen on Monday evenings, creates a storm of excitement and tension.
Two of these names stand out as Ümran and her daughter Dila. Esra Dermancıoğlu, whom we watch in the character of Ümran, successfully portrays a tough and, according to many viewers, an evil female figure.
Ümran is a tough woman and regrets giving birth to her own daughter. Of course, being a woman who reflects her own traumas to her children also reveals Ümran as a disturbing character. So, how does Esra Dermancioğlu feel when portraying this character?
The actress also has a daughter and empathizes with the character of Ümran. Esra Dermancıoğlu said, “I am not a mother who spews her own traumas on her children. Of course it is difficult for her. Because she doesn’t show any empathy, yes, there is a trauma behind her, but in life, no one should treat anyone like this. Yes, she is a very tough, very tough woman,” she said.
The fact that Ümran is someone who reflects her trauma on her child is something to be criticized and there are such people in real life.
The character of Ümran insults Dila, humiliates her, vilifies her, imprisons her in the room and engages in many bad behaviors. Such a mother character is also carefully followed by the on-screen audience.
The actress said that she found what Ümran did very wrong. The fact that trauma does not justify everything that is done is obvious and Esra Dermancıoğlu expressed the following thought:
“Whether a person has trauma or not, the person in front of her, her daughter, her assistant, her father, her friend… It is not possible for a person living in this way to have a serial killer brain within herself. For that much zero empathy and zero self-awareness. A great guilt for her. Treating people properly and with style and good is actually a good thing for yourself. It is important for your own comfort and luxury. Because after that, I think it’s a big burden for you.”
