Synopsis

The story takes place in 1950s in Turkey.

Matilda (Gokce Bahadir) is a middle aged woman who has stayed in prison for 17 years. When she gets out of prison, she wants to have a quiet life far away from Istanbul. Her daughter Rasel (Asude Kalebek) is now 17 years old and she does not know anything about her parents.

Matilda does not want to enter into her daughter’s life and even does not want to see her daughter’s recent photo. She wants to leave everything behind, forget her past and start a new journey. However, out of pure coincidence, she bumps into her daughter and has nothing to do but to reveal her identity.

Matilda’s daughter Rasel is arrested by the police when she secretly steps into a nightclub named “The Club”. Rasel wants to get her close friend’s identity card that is kept at the nightclub but eventually, she is accused by being a thief.

Matilda finds herself at the police station waiting her daughter. She wants to cooperate with the manager of The Club in order to release her daughter. However, it turns out that the manager of The Club is Celebi (Firat Tanis) who used to work at Matilda’s house as a servant.

Even though Celebi has agreed on reconciliation, he changes his mind when he sees Matilda. He accepts not to make a complaint about Rasel on the condition that Matilda would work under him at The Club for a while.

Matilda has nothing to do but to work at The Club in order to save her daughter. She has grown up in a wealthy family without doing any house chore. But, she accepts to work as a cleaning lady at The Club under difficult conditions for the sake of her daughter.

The Club is one of the most prominent nightclubs of Istanbul in 1950s. The boss Orhan (Metin Akdulger) is an open-minded person who does not refrain from making difficult decisions. He accepts to work together with an artist Selim (Salih Bademci) after foreseeing his potential.

Selim wants to make a splendid stage show while he is singing a song. He wants to offer a different experience for the audience. Even though he is so ambitious and he knows that he would change the sense of entertainment in Istanbul, he could not find any support from the nightclubs. However, he never gives up, creates his own opportunity, and impresses Orhan who is the owner of The Club.

After Matilda starts to work at The Cub, she becomes a good friend of Selim and does her best to stand against the manager Celebi and sometimes against the boss Orhan. At the same time, she wants to re-strengthen her ties with her daughter. She believes that a Jewish girl and a Muslim guy cannot get married and cannot become happy. Because of that reason, she does not approve her daughter Rasel’s relationship with Ismet (Baris Arduc).

Ismet is a handsome guy who works as a taxi driver. He is womanizer, rebellious, and troublemaker who has many love affairs. He has grown up in a conservative community with Muslim values and he does not know that Rasel is a Jewish girl.

Will Matilda manage to establish a good relationship with her daughter Rasel? Will Rasel get married to her lover Ismet even though she is jewish while he is muslim?
