The statement further explained:
"The main events in the series are based on publicly available news and court rulings, while the remaining details have been developed under the scope of artistic creative freedom."

The series delves into a historical drama intertwined with human stories, highlighting key events and significant moments from the lives of Shakir Pasha’s descendants. Shakir Pasha was a prominent statesman, historian, and influential historical figure who played a significant role in Turkey's historical events.
