The discussions that emerged in the social media before the Kızılcık Şerbeti (Cranberry Sherbet) series was published are moving to a different dimension with the messages of both producer Faruk Turgut and the leading actress Evrim Alasya. Gold Film’s owner, Faruk Turgut, made an effort to correct the erroneous information about the series with his statements to Sina Koloğlu.
Faruk Turgut shows that they will bring a realistic situation to the screen, which has many examples in the society, by saying, “We are telling a secular, secular woman to be born to a conservative family and through her children, she understands the people around her, empathizes with them and gets rid of their prejudices.”
In the TV series Kızılcık Şerbeti, we will witness a cultural difference that many families in Turkey take for granted, through the interaction between the two families and the experiences of another family who gave their daughter as a bride to a family with a different lifestyle.
The messages given by Evrim Alasya, which we will watch with the character of Kıvılcım in the series, on her twitter account, as well as Faruk Turgut’s words, provide explanatory information about the target of the series.
Evrim Alasya, who interpreted some of the comments made on the social media about the series as a reflex of fascism, said, “Let’s tell our story. We haven’t told you yet, you haven’t watched it yet. What kind of prejudice is this? This is exactly what we filmed. We tell how people drowning in prejudices turn life into hell, first for themselves and then for others. It’s not about politics, it’s about people.”
The words of Evrim Alasya also tell that a story is created based on a prejudice that exists in society but tends to disappear over the years.
In Evrim Alasya’s post from the set of the series, the emphasis on female power once again drew attention. Sharing the set pose with Müjde Devrim, Sıla Türkoğlu and Aliye Uzunatağan, Evrim Alasya also expressed the weight of women in the series.
