Directed by Taner Akvardar [1], Kınalı Kar was a romantic drama about the young teacher Ali from the big city (played by Emrah) whose teaching assignment is given to him in a remote village in Turkey.
While it takes some time for Ali to adjust to the village life, he quickly makes some friends.
During the early stages of the series, he sees a young girl in the village named Nazar (played by Ozlem Conker), who falls in love with him.
Nazar, Sumru, Fadik, and Pinar are the four children of Halil Bey and Sureyya Hanim.
Two school friends develop a long term long-distance relationship despite Mehmet going away to college and meeting other girls.
Sumru is a flirty girl who likes the attention that the coffee house owner Yusuf gives her.
Mesut is introduced as a hard-working dependable laborer in Demir's olive oil factory.
Seyit, Cabbar Aga's right-hand man, approaches Mesut and asks him to provide information on what Demir's plans are with the factory.
She is an evil woman who has selfish plans of marrying off her daughters in a way that keeps the maximum amount of land in the family's possession.
For Nazar, she plans on giving her to the upper village's mayor (Cabbar Aga) in marriage without her consent.
Nazar does not want to marry Cabbar Aga, and to protest this (and delay the eventual marriage) she cuts her hair very short.
As a Teacher's Day present, Kamber, Omer, and Recep build a brand new school for Ali Ogretmen and the children of Kinali Kar.
Cabbar Aga intends to marry Nazar as soon as possible and wants to force the hand of Sureyya Hanim, so he has his men work day and night and closes down the main river that leads to Kinali Kar from the upper village.
At this time, Ali is sick with flu-like conditions and so they are forced to spend the night in Kamber's place.
As a coincidence that night, for some reason, Nazar wants to talk with Ali Ogretmen and when she can't find him in his house, she goes out to look for him to Kamber's shack in the forest.
Ali Ogretmen tries to get Nazar back from the evil clutches of Cabbar Aga, but to no avail.
In fact, Ali shows up uninvited and tries to prevent the whole thing from taking place, but he is too late.
During this time, a new character is introduced to the series: Ece, the village doctor played by Sinemis Candemir.
In the meantime, Ali has married the village doctor, Ece even though his heart still beats for Nazar.
A new dam construction project will begin in Kınalı Kar that has brought to the village new characters.
Later on, Cabbar Ağa commits suicide on a snowy hill outside of Kınalı Kar and Kamber and Zehra get married.
