Yet I remember that I saw a woman turning her head abruptly to the camera, her blue eyes burning everything in that framing, blasting the reverse shot.

[citation needed] She took part in such TV projects in Turkey as Güz Yangını, Esir Kalpler, Senden Başka, Kalpsiz Adam, Sınıf, Balkan Düğünü and Muhteşem Yüzyıl.

Her international breakthrough was after she co-starred with Penélope Cruz and Emile Hirsch in Sergio Castellitto's Twice Born adapted from the novel with the same title by Margaret Mazzantini.

In 2013, Aksoy played a Greek girl Eleni in the Turkish movie Sürgün[26] and in 2015, Rania in Ragion di Stato directed by Marco Pontecorvo for Italian TV network RAI.

[27] Aksoy's latest projects include Saf by Ali Vatansever, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2018,[28] Passed by Censor by Serhat Karaaslan, which was released in 2019, and Iguana Tokyo by Kaan Müjdeci, recently in post-production.
