FROM BANNED BOOK
TO INTERNATIONAL FILM
Our film follows a young woman's journey of self-discovery and rebellion in 1960s-1980s Turkey. Through a unique blend of drama and original music, we explore her evolution from innocent youth to defiant womanhood. Adapted from by Duygu Asena's groundbreaking novel, we delve into themes of female empowerment, generational trauma, and the enduring spirit of the human heart, inspired by our own experiences.

Duygu Asena's book is a powerful feminist statement and a poignant reflection on self-determination. Our project is an ode to the enduring spirit of daring women who live life on their own terms and the little girls within them.
