Kanlı Kabare

Aysel divorces her husband and settles in Germany when he is arrested once again during the September 12 period. Aysel is a woman who suddenly leaves everything behind and walks away. After emigrating to Germany, Aysel begins working in the healthcare sector. She expands her business. But her heart is empty. Then Kerim appears… They get married. When she returns to Turkey following her young husband Kerim’s plan to open a “new-generation tavern,” “Şen Meyhane” 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 as a result of her long and unhappy marriage, and the mysterious Matilda, who is trying to survive by working as an escort, cross at Aysel’s Şen Meyhane.

The night, spiraling into a dead end amid drinks and songs over relationships, betrayal, and money, becomes impossible to unravel with Haluk’s arrival at the venue.

Meanwhile, there is a murmur throughout the city.
