A mentally impaired father, Mehmet "Memo" Koyuncu, lives with his young daughter, Ova, and his grandmother Fatma on a hillside.

However, the girl accidentally dies after falling off a cliff, and Memo's attempts to save her are misunderstood to be an act of murder and he is sent to prison but not before he tells Ova that he saw a witness to what really happened.

In prison, he is speedily convicted of murder and sentenced to death, and is beaten up by fellow inmates who are unaware of the true circumstances of his case.

Sometime afterwards, Ova is sneaked out of their house by Askorozlu’s accomplices and leaves a note to her grandmother stating her intent to go to her father, which leads to Fatma dying of a heart attack upon reading it.

It also gained a large worldwide audience due to its release on Netflix, especially in France and Latin America, where it topped the charts.
