A mother stabs for her daughter, two women's stories go untold — Turkish cinema's ghost piece.
In the first segment, “Yılın Kadını Değil”, a mother risks her own safety by stabbing her friend to protect her daughter from his dangerous influence. The second segment, “İki Günahsız Kız”, follows two innocent young women navigating love and temptation—one’s story remains untold due to production constraints, leaving the anthology incomplete.
