On one hand she is struggling with the system, and on the other hand, she is fighting for her existence with a son who has autism spectrum disorder and dealing with her missing husband. a woman who is forced to become invisible, ignored who has no right to speak. Plus, she no longer needs the men in her story to exist. Unlike all the invisible women in these male-dominated stories, Fatma discovers her invisibility and creates a new self. We’ve been exposed to many male-dominated stories in the past. I believe it serves for something much deeper, and the story is much more than that. I don’t want this show to be put in a single box as just purely a strong female empowerment story. There is clearly a strong female empowerment theme, but depicted in an innovative way?
I also see the story of Fatma as a metaphorical way to explain our inner struggles as women. I saw this story as a woman striving for her existence and to survive in a male dominated world. Because in a world ruled by male hegemony, I believe many women will see a part of themselves in Fatma’s story. Fatma’s story could be about any woman around the world. I fully agree with that! After you watch the show, it’s impossible to disagree. During a recent conversation with Pelin she told me your character is basically an allegory for dealing with life as a woman in Turkey. Biricik spoke exclusively to Variety about the challenges of playing this complex role which depicts the “inner struggles” of ordinary women and the moral quandaries it posed.
