Kanlı Kabare

Aysel divorces her husband when he is arrested once again during the period of September 12 and settles in Germany. Aysel is a woman who suddenly leaves everything behind and walks away. After emigrating to Germany, Aysel starts working in the healthcare sector. She expands her business. But her heart is empty. Kerim enters her life… They get married. When she returns to Turkey based on her young husband Kerim’s plan to open a “new-generation tavern,” the “Cheerful Tavern” enters Aysel’s life. Aysel comes to Istanbul. But this time, she cannot simply leave everything behind and walk away. 

One night, the paths of Alev, an HR manager betrayed after a long and unhappy marriage, and the mysterious Matilda, who is trying to survive by working as an escort, cross at Aysel’s Cheerful Tavern. 

Amid relationships, infidelity, and money matters, the night spirals into a dead end accompanied by drinks and songs, and becomes utterly inescapable with Haluk’s arrival at the venue. 

Meanwhile, there is a rumble in the city.
