This is a tragic love story. It starts in 50's Turkey who is pregnant to May 27 coup d'etat by military. The political spectrum of Turkey is demonstrated by the two confronting family members. One side is represented by Ali Riza Bey who is a member of the Democrat Party. The other side is represented by Ali Riza Bey's childhood friend and neighbor, Sevket Bey who is a public prosecutor. While the story is developing and history is written by both of the families, relations become much more complex. Ali Riza Bey's older daughter fall in love with Sevket Bey's son. In the light of a well-known-love-story, we witness the Turkish history that is forbidden to discuss. It is the second time, following Cemberimde Gul Oya, a Turkish series prepares us a ground to question Turkish history. Carefully, and not directly it questions the law system, and decisions that are made in 1960s and after. Trying to be neutral, which is always impossible, at least, series (with it's well chosen cast), gives us a taste of what has happened in Turkey since 1950's.
