Darya and Aziz reign supreme over Ankara’s Theatre scene. But on a festive opening night, a single moment changes everything, plunging the couple into a political storm that threatens to destroy the life they have built together. Hoping for a fresh start, they move to Istanbul, only to face an agonizing choice: stay true to their principles or keep their family together.

A powerful, moving exploration of freedom of expression, identity, love, and the price of staying true to oneself.
