Sen Anlat Karadeniz (“Lifeline”) premiered in 2018 on ATV and quickly became one of the most talked-about Turkish dramas of its time. Directed by Osman Sınav and produced by Sinegraf, the series blends emotional depth with action and social commentary, shining a spotlight on domestic abuse and the strength it takes to reclaim one’s life.
Nefes is a young woman who was sold as a child bride and has suffered years of abuse at the hands of her violent husband. Her only source of hope is her son, Yiğit. When the opportunity arises, she escapes with him and crosses paths with Tahir, a brave man from the Black Sea region with a strong sense of justice. Tahir risks everything to protect Nefes and her son, even against powerful enemies and deep-rooted traditions. As they fight for safety and dignity, a bond grows between them—one rooted not only in love, but in shared strength and resilience.
Sen Anlat Karadeniz addresses domestic violence, female empowerment, honor, and love as healing. It doesn’t shy away from difficult subjects, instead presenting them with emotional honesty and a call for societal change.
