What's in this series?
Production context
Masumiyet was produced by Gold Film. Faruk Turgut served as producer, Ömür Atay directed the series, and Sırma Yanık wrote the story and screenplay.
Family, power and responsibility
The central conflict brings the families into confrontation through the relationship between 19-year-old Ela and İlker, an older man who is about to marry someone else. The protective responses of Bahar, Hale and Harun show that the conflict extends beyond the couple.
The search for justice and competing narratives
Episode descriptions highlight İlker’s arrest, Ela’s awakening, the legal process and claims concerning Ela’s mental health. The story therefore focuses on competing accounts of an incident and the effect of the search for justice on family relationships.
Social representation through characterization
An academic study examines the representation of Masumiyet’s characters. The official character descriptions emphasize Bahar’s hidden strength, Hale’s protectiveness, İlker’s privileged and powerful background, and Ela’s youth and inexperience.
