Plot of the Turkish TV series Graveyard

The story of the Turkish TV series revolves around Önem Özülku, a dedicated police inspector who, due to the countless unsolved cases of femicides, decides to open a special investigation unit within the police, a department dedicated exclusively to the investigation of cases of murdered women that, for some reason or another, remained unsolved.

This new department, which operates on a shoestring budget, is set up in the basement of the police station. As the days go by, the unit becomes involved in the investigation of murders as they arise. Such is the case of a woman’s corpse that turns up with strange marks on her body, or the body of a pop star that turns up in the trash.

So Önem embarks on various investigations with the firm intention of bringing those responsible to justice. However, his mission will be hindered many times by the prejudices that prevail in society, male prejudices that often give rise to male violence.
