When her sister is murdered, Sayara begins to follow in her father's footsteps, seeking a path of revenge.
Sayara is a quiet young woman from Turkmenistan who works as a cleaner in a gym in Istanbul. When her older sister, Yonca, is brutally murdered by a group of friends of Barış, the gym owner with whom Yonca was having an extramarital affair, and they are released due to “lack of evidence”, Sayara decides to take justice into her own hands.
Can Evrenol (“Baskin”) returns to his midnight cinema roots with this ultra-violent anti-revenge flick, which combines psycho-sexual elements with grappling martial arts.
