This documentary takes a close look at the passionate fans of the Turkish TV series industry, focusing on the way fans feel they belong to the stories, to the point of interfering with the actors and even the flow of the script. As a result of this passion, fans launch social media campaigns against the scriptwriters and try to ‘save’ their favourite characters, proving how strong this attachment is. On the other hand, the comments made by industry representatives about the fans and the cold face of their professional world are another striking aspect of the documentary. This dynamic, in which contrasting feelings such as admiration and arrogance, attachment and distance are experienced together, offers a portrait of the world of fiction and its fans.
