Kızım ve Ben

Doruk, the only child of a wealthy family, fulfills his dream by entering the police academy and graduating at the top of his class. He falls in love with Serap, whom he meets during an operation, and they get married. Shortly after their daughter Zeynep is born, Serap falls into a depression and leaves home. Doruk, a heroic special operations police officer, takes on both the role of mother and father to his daughter Zeynep while juggling his demanding duties. Just as a beautiful bond forms between father and daughter, Serap, who had left home, returns. A difficult period begins in the lives of father and daughter.

Directed by Murat Gürvardar, Kızım ve Ben leans on a strong ensemble — Cemal Hünal, İrem Helvacıoğlu, Emre Özcan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2018.
