Synopsis
Inspired by a real-life story, the movie tells the story of Eda (Akasya Aslitürkmen), a dancer who fell in love with Cihan (Kubilay Tunçer), a family man. When she realized that she was four months pregnant, she thought that an abortion would solve the problem. On the same night that her dance academy mate Oya (Deniz Soyarslan) made the solo show instead of her, Eda had an abortion in illegal conditions and risked her life. Her choice did not lead to death but changed her life into a living hell. Three years later she married a photographer Cenk (Murat Yıldırım) and again became pregnant. However, along with the pregnancy, some dismal happenings began to change her life and mind, frightening and hurting those around her.
