O Kul: Hayal Bile Etme

Selim is a cruel father with a bigoted personality, whose occupation is unknown. He cannot accept his own daughter because she was born a girl. Ayşe was kept under house arrest by her cruel father until she reached school age. When her backward-thinking father refused to send her to school, Ayşe's misfortune reached a new level. Even when she starts school, her father's beatings leave her unable to breathe. Ayşe's life is now a living hell. Although finishing elementary school and starting high school triggers the same negative reactions from her father Selim, Ayşe continues her education at a school near her home. Finally, the university entrance exams come around. During this process, Ayşe's father, Selim, believes that Ayşe has studied enough. According to Selim, the time for marriage has long passed. Therefore, he believes that she should marry a suitable young man as soon as possible and is also calculating the dowry.

Directed by Adem Uğur, O Kul: Hayal Bile Etme leans on a strong ensemble — Ümit Çırak, Ceren Karaoğlan, Tanya Jaziri — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
