Subject: It tells the story of Feride, a teacher who has no family.

Notes about the film: In the film, where the conflict of modern traditions is frequently emphasized, Feride, as a single teacher, pushes the social roles and action patterns produced by gender norms such as starting a family, giving birth, and being a mother to the background. Feride stands against the issue of violence in education. It can be said that Feride represents the prototype of a woman who has achieved social and economic independence, representing the norms of the Republic.
