The movie 'Joyland' (director Saime Sadiq) has confirmed its release date as December 13th.

‘Joyland’ is a post-romantic coming-of-age story and a heartbreaking love letter. It won the Un Certain Regard Jury Award at the 75th Cannes Film Festival, won two Queer Palm Awards, was selected as a shortlist candidate for the International Feature Film Award at the 95th Academy Awards, and was officially invited to the 39th Sundance Film Festival and the 47th Toronto International Film Festival.

The main poster is an image of transgender musician Viva heading somewhere on a motorcycle with Haiderga, who has been working as a back dancer after living as a housewife for several years. The overall color tone, which foreshadows an interesting journey, is mint and gives the impression of heading to the sea.

In the main trailer, in response to Viva's request to "tell an interesting story," Haider tells the story of a mosquito and a chicken who fall in love, telling a story about love that cannot be achieved. In the following scene, Viva asks Haider, “Have you ever danced in the theater?”, and at the same time, Haider and Mumtaz’s family appear.

In response, Mumtaz tells Haider, “Get a job,” and Haider’s father then asks, “What do you do?” To this question, Haider gives a false answer, saying, “A theater manager?” Viva says, “Call me Madame,” and while playing around with Mumtaz while looking at her Instagram, he asks, “Are you a transgender? Do you want to like it?” The line of the older sister-in-law, Nucci, who says, "makes us even more curious about the relationship between the characters.
