The film stars Farah Zeynep Abdullah as lead singer Bergen, who has become one of the symbols of violence against women in Turkey.
At first, Serenay Sarikaya was accepted to play Bergen, but due to shooting delays, she decided not to be involved in the movie.

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the leader of the main opposition Republican People's Party, stated that "Everyone who rejects violence against women must watch this film" and used it to advocate for Turkey's return to the Istanbul Convention.
